These idiots put our 2025 win total at 7.5

I think they are a game better than last season. They *should* win 9 but they are still prone to having a few games where they lose ones they shouldn't in maddening ways. For all the good things Rhule has done at NU, they still Frost the bed every year against Cockeye and 1-2 other teams they should beat.

7-5 regular season and an 8th win in the bowl.
 
Jeezus Corn, you just really turned me on here.

I am absolutely turned on by all these pass catchers. I can understand why people are skeptical about Nebraska off-season hype. But these athletes are in a completely different "talent class" compared to Neyor and Banks.

This isn't a by-product of unproven players, and I'm not one of those fans who gets a hard on over recruiting.

This is why I will continue to argue long snapper, punter, and kicker are still Nebraska's most important positions when trying to measure success in 2025.

The vast majority of "maddening ways" Nebraska has lost games are either directly or indirectly related to Special Teams.

Hell, that Kaleb Johnson touchdown reception for Cockeye was a certainly killer last season. It was a bad play by a lot of experienced defenders. But guess what? If Nebraska had functional special teams, that TD reception would've never mattered.

We still would have been annoyed we gave up 90% of their yards on one play but less annoyed with the win.

Worst game to attend. Not only did I have to deal with Cockeye fans in the brutal cold, but also had to try to figure out a way to fish 3 inches of meat through 6 inches of layered fabric at the urinals. Not easy to do, made quite a mess
 
It’s off season stupidity. Everyone is already sucking on UTs balls in the SEC. I mean damn we beat them with a one armed QB the week after an 8 overtime game. We curb stomped them in Austin like cheap hookers and they crap on us. We get no respect.

As a purely neutral and rational observer, I think the lack of respect comes less from the fact you beat Texas, and more from the fact you got your cheeks waxxed by Notre Dame and Ole Miss, and also got beat by the worst Alabama team in a decade+

Fair enough. I called the Bama loss. Predicted 41-13 embarrassment because we couldn’t score at a Hellen Keller convention last year. Our QB was a soft as dinner rolls and we couldn’t run the ball all season. We still rolled Texas and they will get spanked again. We played all those games on the road last year. We have them all at home this year.

20+ years of middling football still tells me 7–5 at best, until it actually happens.
