     I can't see it well take a whole lot less time but I think I need to clarify.  In the first place, at least to me, when rebuilding a team two years isn't a long time.  And, when I said two years I was counting 2005 as one of the years.  I probably should have said two more seasons.  I also didn't say for two years there will be no improvement.  I just believe to get the team back to where Husker fans are used to seeing it will definitely take some time.  We brought in some good players but they have to get used to playing together and each system no matter how alike still has subtle differences which need to be adjusted to.  And, certainly I can be as wrong as anyone else. 



     As I said in a previous post the Huskers could go anywhere from 3-8 to 9-2 in 2005 and it wouldn't really surprise me either way.  As I said Maine and Baylor are pretty much sure wins.  Wake Forest and Pittsburgh are probably wins.  But, to me, the rest are toss ups with the exception of Oklahoma as a loss.  I am not even going to try and predict the Huskers record in 2005.  It is just too much of a crap shoot.
