[Husker] Rats...

[Don Rietsch]

I couldn't agree with you more about strength of schedule and the resulting
false confidence.  I have been amazed at the hype on this list over the last
5 games (MNC, Heisman Trophy QB, Big 12 Champs, etc.: unbelievable!).  I
thought I must be watching the wrong Big Red. Am I the only one who saw the
SDS game?

I think we are a solid top 25 team, not top 5.  I see us going 1 and 1 vs.
OSU & Missouri.  We should win the rest of them.  I predict Missouri will
win the North which won't bother me much because I don't want to play TX
again or OU for the Big 12 title.

I have no difficulty believing in the Longhorn Magic... just like Sooner
Magic in the Switzer days.  Good/Great Coaching with highly skilled recruits
will generally win out over mistake-prone teams.

Big Red should never go into Conference play with such a pansy
non-conference schedule.  There's a fine line between confidence and false
enthusiasm that is earned with W's over low-caliber teams.  Our boys were
just not ready for this high-caliber of a team,  Congrats to Texas on a good
game plan and good execution.

Now Pelini needs to try to re-focus the team without all of the pressure of
the MNC.  Now, they can erase the memories of all of the hoopla surrounding
WearRed, BeLoud and BeatTexas.  This hype can roll through the wastelands of
Texas like a lost tumbleweed.

It should still be a very successful season as our boyz are talented and are
coaches are good.  The road test next week at Stillwater will be an
interesting one.  Go Big Red.
