Argument? Here??!!!?

Well, maybe. It remains to be seen whether Keller has the grit and the 
smarts to be as good as Taylor, let alone better. And there are big 
question marks in the defensive line - moreso at the ends.

Players always sound hungry before the season.

> 3) With the exception of USC, I personally believe every team we play we can and maybe even should beat (including Texas).  

I don't know why NU can't beat USC; it wouldn't be the biggest upset of 
all time. I'm not saying they will, but it's not impossible. I agree 
about Mizzou - except the last two visits to Columbia have been ugly. NU 
should be the better team, but the better team doesn't always win.

> I don't know.  I haven't had this feeling since '94.   I felt similar in '99 and we were a fumble vs Texas away from a NC that year.

Let's hope your "meter" is accurate.
