[Husker] FW: 2010 Schedule (changed)

[SteveG]

Happy WKU game day to everyone.  And a pleasant Labor Day weekend to all of
those who labor.

I'm going to predict a Nebraska victory today.  48 - 0.  

Another great day for Helu, but the Player of the Game:  Brandon Kinnie

Enjoy the Scarlet Dancers, der vienerslinger, the Runzas, the weather and
the victory!

Go Big Red!

Subject: 2010 Schedule (changed)

2010 season.   Two questions were asked:

With this schedule, anyone think we won't be better at least on paper next
year?  

First, the schedule stinks.  I am thrilled that this is the last year of the
scheduling non-sense against certain non-conference teams.  Future
(2011~beyond) schedules are more appealing from a competition viewpoint.

I don't think the Blackshirts will be better on paper.  It's difficult to
improve on a number one ranking in sorted categories.  More importantly, I
see more blowouts next year, which in turn should yield more on-time
experience for those players silently absorbed in the depth charts.  I doubt
Bo would risk injury to starters to preserve a shutout with a 3 score lead
in the 4th quarter.  I could see him trying to prove a point in a bowl game
or against a Big XII 'powerhouse'... but not against Idaho or South Dakota
State.  I might be wrong here...maybe he would risk injury to a starter, but
I doubt it.   Therefore, at the end of the season, on paper, the gaudy
statistics of the Blackshirt starters might be toned down because younger
guys are getting more reps in game settings.  

The re-building process is done; and the Coaching staff is already in the
re-loading process.   It's part of the master plan... the non-conference
games (TBD, Fresno St, Wash and Wyoming) in 2011 will require a better start
...  The Huskers cannot wait until November to blossom or the MNC will
already be in the rear-view mirror.

I do believe that the Offense will be better on paper because I honestly
believe that their re-building process will be complete by the time KSU
rolls in to Lincoln to start Big XII conference games.  The 'experience' in
the program this year wasn't always pretty...but the players' climb up the
learning curve exuded itself in the final games of the season.

Overall the team did manage to come within a FG in three losses...so the
difference in ending 10-4 vs 13-1 is very encouraging.



Any more than 2 losses max?  

I don't see any losses.   Book your tickets now for Phoenix.  The Huskers
will either have a date in the Fiesta Bowl on 01JAN11 against Boise State;
or the NC game on 10JAN11 against Alabama.

If I am wrong, at least you can enjoy abundant sunshine and 70 degree
weather away from the frozen plains.

See y'all at the Spring Game!

Go Big Red!

With this schedule, anyone think we won't be better at least on paper next
year?  Any more than 2 loses max?
