My big belly says nw but my butt says nebby 😟
Who you got between Nebraska and Northwestern
- Thread starter JerseyCityHawki
- Start date
Doesn’t Nebraska lose every game by 3 points?
They were the best 3-9 team ever though. They almost didn’t lose every game they lost. Not to mention all the studs they got in the portal. Am I doing this right HuskerCrazedHawkeye? Laugh if you think Nebraska will win 4 or more games this year.
I am taking NW over 3.5 Wins , I do hope Nebraska is one of those 3.5 too . NW by 4 , Voted NW by 3 in poll , Opening Game Itake Fitz with less talent being better prepared than Fuskers with so many new faces and bad Coaching.
Frost is probably out in the pubs at night looking for some young Irish ladies.
I hate to admit it ... but this is how I see it too.
Until Northwestern "refinds" its feet on D ... it's hard NOT to see them in the cellar of the west.
Northwestern absolutely got murdered last year by much of the B1G ... Iowa being one of the few teams to not pound them into the ground. Of course, part of that was attributable to it being the first game where Padilla effectively started. Also, the fact that Iowa's O sucked (as a whole) ... also played into the equation.
Nebby +13.5??? Isn't that a no-brainier to take nebby?
This is a copy from my post, with the post I quoted.
A considerably weaker schedule seems to be the argument.
Is “pubs” Irish for closets?
Nebby had some narrow losses last year. On Saturday they win narrowly over NW.
Fitz will try to muddy this up and keep the score down. He out Iowa’s Iowa. But, I do think Nebraska wins big.
2021:
Iowa 10-4
Wisconsin 9-4
Minnesota 9-4
Purdue 9-4
Nebraska 3-9 (1-8)
good luck with that "weaker schedule"
The sarcasm meter is tacking out ... it's being accurate, right?
I know that Husker faithful might think that they have the best OL in the B1G ... but they might be the only ones. The Husker OL-play has been disjoint, at best, over the past several years. Even with a new OL coach ... this is his first rodeo as an OL coach for a D1 program. Will be interesting to see how they fare ...
I can see two possible outcomes, Nebraska finally figures something out and wins it fairly easy, or, same song different verse and they let it go down their leg and Northwestern wins it in a very tight game.
Yes but they have been puking 15-20 times per practice, I guarantee you no one else in the BIG is putting up those kind of numbers, and they LOVE it.
You underestimate their moral victories from last year - they had 9 of them!
I am pulling for NW, then grabbing a big bag of popcorn and heading over to the Husker board to witness the apocalypse.
I think its because that is the bare minimum number of wins for Frost to keep his job.
Is Scott frost still coaching at UNLLLLLLL? Then I’ll take NW.
also very good article in the athletic on Adrian Martinez. Lot of respect for the kid after reading it. Tough as nails breaking his jaw vs msu. As much as he would choke the last 5 min lot of those game they aren’t in it if it wasn’t for him like Michigan or Wisc games. Guess my point being if with the Texas transfer think they take a step back at qb play this year even with new OC.

I took Northwestern by 10. Nebr has too many new faces, coaches, schemes ect... to be sharp immediately. Plus, it's Nebr. Always take the opponent!
Pretty cool putting the Tri Color in their helmet logo for the game ..............
Well...if the odds makers have made Nebraska a 13.5 point favorite...my only explanation is that they have been reading all the press releases out of Lincoln this summer. Hell...I read those things and I start thinking...damn, they are really going to be good...then Troy comes to Lincoln, and Troy is the more physical team and beats them going away.
I'll be the first to admit that Nebraska has gotten better. That being said...they weren't loaded on the offensive or defensive lines coming into the year. I know they had a couple of very good DL transfers (TCU dude for one), but you have to have depth too...especially on the defensive line.
Unlike Iowa, Nebraska's style of offense is more suited to attack NW...as they will get the ball in space and stretch the field. That being said...first game...and Patty Fitzgerald in Ireland is a tough draw.
I'd take NW and the points.

I think the Bug Eaters are probably a much more talented team. Does anyone think Frost is a good coach. This is exactly the kind of game Frost loses. I also think Wiley will finish last, which makes the high profile loss so fun.
I’ll put it in simple terms for our laugh-emoji friend: Scott Frost is a loser. He’s a losing football coach, and not much of a better person either. Teams are a reflection of their coach.
That being said, he made a hell of a hire at OC, Chinander has done a nice job with the defense, and I think Casey Thompson is a fine QB. So, if Scott Frost gets out of the damn way, they could have a solid season. But being that Scott Frost is a loser with issues, I don’t trust him to not eff this up somehow.
He’s Ron Zook.

As a player I would sure as hell rather play for Fitz than Frost.
Fitz has to be thinking revenge mode for last year's outcome
Call me Nostradamus, I picked Nebraska to lose a close game!
Boy ... happy I was wrong!
Northwestern looked like the sort of team that makes things tough on Iowa ... however, they still don't look like a terribly great team.
Huskers gonna husker ... 'tis all!
Surprise, surprise. This idiot was dead right, yet again, about Nebber & Flop being losers.
I can’t be the only getting sick of this guy being right about Nebber losing when they’re 14 point favorites.
