>Well, Nebraska always had a way of running up the score against weak opponents.

>till they play UW this year...

It's a well known documented fact that Nebraska plays is's 2'nd, 3'rd, 4th,
and 5th string from the mid/late second quarter on vs lesser teams such as CSU. How do you tell a kid who is, say, 3rd on the depth chart to go in and dog it?
He's trying to move up. He is gonna play his heart out.

It's also a well known documented fact about NU's problems vs top 20 teams
the last 4 years or so. Why do you ask if I doubt? I have spoken of this many
times in this newsgroup. It is OBVIOUS that Nebraska has fallen back in quality
the last few years. With that in mind - why are you CU folk so damn proud that CU has beaten a "weak" Nebraska team ("weak" by Husker standards) 2 of the last
3 years? And those 2 wins were not easy. Since NU has not beaten a top-20 team
in that period - then why do you consider it a big accomplishment? And don't
tell me you don't. I live in Colorado and I KNOW BETTER.

Nebraska goes to Miami and gets creamed by the Canes (MNC's). Nebraska goes to Boulder and CU BARELY saves a tie with a blocked field goal in the last min. of the game. The year before NU goes to the bowl vs GA. Tech (MNC's) and gets beat
solidly. CU comes to Lincoln and has to pull out a come from behind 4th quarter win. The year before that NU plays Florida State in the bowl and gets beat solidly. Same year CU holds on to a close 4 point victory at home. What does that say to you? Don't be so Damn proud that you FINALLY beat us a few times.
The Huskers of the past few years have not been the mighty Huskers of old.
You have not beaten our best teams. Not by a long stretch of the imagination.
For that matter the same goes for Oklahoma.

>>Why are you CU fans so illogical? I guess that maybee after all those long
>>decades of poor quality CU football it's just human nature to get over
>>emotional about it.

>They said the same about Miami (and Miami fans, of course)...

Of course you realize that you have just admitted indirectly that you ARE
OVER-emotional and illogical about your team by: 1. Not denying it. 2. Equating yourself with the Canes fans.

>Talking about Miami, I find it amusing that the Hurricanes fell victim to a
>Hurricane! Hmm... maybe it's time they changed their name...

Geesh Njan, how can you joke about that? There was nothing at all "amusing" about the hurricane in south Florida. Even equating that tragidy to a GAME is out of place. Even if it is in a light hearted manner. If a heard of American Bison (There is no such thing in American as a "Buffalo") stampeeded thru Boulder and you were left without even the basic needs of life - you would not be making lighthearted statements about how CU should change it's name.
Nuff said!!!

Lets just have a great and competitive Big-8 season and hope that the Big-8
elite once again join the ranks of the national elite.

>Njan

Njan, you make it sooooo easy.

By the way, just to set the record straight, I shall REPEAT my 1992 Big-8
prediction. Just to keep the masses silent.  ;^)

	1. Oklahoma,  Colorado  (Flip a coin)
	3. Nebraska

	Provided that: 1. OU and CU sucessfully convert to the "passing game"
                       2. NU Coach Osborne stays suck in the 70s

	IF OU and CU struggle with their offensive game conversions AND
	Coach Osborne opens the offense up...

	1. Nebraska
	2. Oklahoma,  Colorado  (Flip a coin)
	3. Colorado,  Oklahoma  (Flip a coin)

By the way, I consider sceanrio #1 to be the most likely. OK, got it straigt?
I am not "woofing" Nebraska as the greatest team in the country. I'm not even
predicting a Big-8 championship. I consider the "if's" of the second seanario
to be too big. Please repeat untill you have truely learned this:

	Husker Henderson is not a blind, totally emotional Husker fan
	Husker Henderson is not a blind, totally emotional Husker fan
	Husker Henderson is not a blind, totally emotional Husker fan
	Husker Henderson is not a blind, totally emotional Husker fan
	Husker Henderson is not a blind, totally emotional Husker fan...   ;^)
