Are we possibly welcoming the Big 12 champs to the Big Ten in 2011. From the looks of this schedule, very possible.
- No Oklahoma
- OOC of Western Kentuky, South Dakota St. Idaho, and Washinton
- Texas at home
- 1! preseason top 25 team on schedule.
this is pretty much college football these days. conference foes, 3 cupcakes, 1 decent OOC team.
but yes, this does set up nicely for them, getting UT at home. @ UW is not easy though, i will have a lot more interest in this game now.
now that they are in the Big Ten mix. I wonder how much scorn they are going to go up against?
I think that game at Washington could be a good one, Texas will still be good but they did lose a lot of players. So its completely possible, Big 12 North champs at least since they could face the sooners in the title game.
I would like to see Nebraska and Colorado become the opening day OOC game for both schools. I always liked watching that game Thanksgiving weekend (usually the week after BIg 10 season was over). Some pretty good games... would be a good rivalry for both to keep after 2010.
But I wonder if CU would keep Nebraska on their schedule given the CSU annual game
Colorado always has the Colorado/Colorado State Rivalry as their season opening game. It would be cool to see them continue to schedule each other though
Isn't the Nebraska/Colorado post-Thanksgiving game a fairly recent undertaking? I seem to remember that, at least in the Big8 days, that Nebraska and Oklahoma always played on the Friday after Thanksgiving, and that the Big12 took that game away (which was a sticking point with Nebraska people).
I would like to see an early season Nebraska/Oklahoma OOC game every year, to keep that rivalry going.
They should play Oklahoma in the Big XII title game, and that would be beyond epic.
How could it be any more epic than last year's Big XII title game?
Nebraska doesn't lose on a (literally) last second field goal. In fact, the exactly same setup happens and they block it this time.
A game with undefeated Oklahoma vs. undefeated Nebraska in what may be their last game for years, with a shot at the national title for both teams is probably the most exciting scenario for a Big XII Title game possible. The game should be good too.
is slowly becoming the next Les Miles, Jim Harbaugh, Brian Kelly of this cite - something that is NOT Michigan that everyone is panting over.
and homonyms.
i just read your post in the Runyan thing. Cite is to give citation to something, site is a place or "place" and sight is vision.
Crappy LSA education . . .
Well they did just join the Big Ten, and a lot of people are excited as they should be. Adding Nebraska is a big get for the Big Ten.
Yeah, NU could 12-0 in 2010, if it weren't for the Washington and Texas games.
Huskies were 5-7 with 3 close losses last year, and have 8 starters back on defense and 10 starters back on offense including QB Locker and TB Chris Polk and WR Kearse.
I think both Washington and Michigan return for greater national respect in 2010.
UW didn't have that many close losses - they only had 3 losses by one score of less, but 2 of those were by a full 7 points. They also beat USC and Arizona by 3 points each, so by your measure they were close to being 3-9 too. And the Oregon teams beat them by a combined score of 91-40.
I think they could win 7 or 8 games next year. Locker is a hell of a player.
Wow, if NU has more than 2 losses before the B12 title game, it's a let down for Husker fans, I think. It's very possible that they win @ UW, and/or beat Texas at home (a little revenge), which could have them undefeated going into the Big 12 title game without anything too crazy happening.
They should win 10-11 games. At Wash and A&M, and home against Texas and Mizzou are games they could lose. They'll probably win 3 of them. That's assuming their offense can score more than 10 points a game.
