[Husker] Sigh

[Andrew Smith]

It should be obvious from my email that I didn't and don't expect 
Nebraska to trot through the Big Ten.  I'm suggesting about 9 wins - the 
same as David.
What motivated my post is not any believe that Nebraska should always 
win, but the contrast between what I see on the field and their #8 ranking.

I could be wrong, hope I am, and won't be surprised if that is the case.

Go Big Red!
