[Husker] Colorado prediction

[Rod Wellman]

This is exactly what I was thinking.  That OSU team has bunches of  
talent, even without Robinson.  CU played them tough and it was up for  
grabs until the end.  I feel worse about our chances of winning this  
one that I did the KSU game.  In the words of Lee Corso, I think (or  
should I say hope) we'll win, but it will be close.  VERY close.
