Cowherd Giving NU love...

[Scratchtown]

On his show today. Talking about the coaches poll and was talking about how it's predominantly traditional powers in the top 10. So he said he went back and looked at the '87, '97, and '07 preseason coaches polls.

He said they were virtually the same except that Notre Dame and Nebraska were absent in this years poll compared to the past polls. Then for the 2nd time in a week or so he starts in on Tanner Lee.

"I have Nebraska winning 9 games. Nebraska has a quarterback nobody has heard of named Tanner Lee, who will end up being the best college football player no one is talking about in preseason. Nebraska is going to be pretty good this year, they have a transfer quarterback named Tanner Lee who is SPECIAL. (his emphasis) He is a playmaker at quarterback. Mike Riley is a great quarterback coach."

I've never heard Cowherd mention Nebraska more than once ever in a single year for college football. He's brought them up TWICE in 2 weeks. High praise from a guy who normally is ripping NU for its geographical location in regard to recruiting.

May be a better year than most people expect!

If we lose to Ohio State, Wisconsin, and Penn State; I'm not sure how we're having a better year than most people expect. Aren't those the only ranked teams we play preseason?

You realize that most national prognosticators have been picking NU to win 6 games....

Last year 6 months ago he said something along the lines of Nebraska football being the most impressive college dynasty he's ever seen.

Nobody that matters, and I mean nobody, has us only losing three games. If those are the only games we lose, that's a 10-3 season. AKA a pretty damn good one.

10 wins is great an all, but if we lose to Wisconsin or Iowa again I don't care how many games we win. No way we should lose to Iowa three straight seasons and I'm sick of Wisconsin beating us. It's time to win those games. I could handle losing to Ohio State and Penn State.

2-10 with wins over Iowa and Wisconsin, or 10-3 with losses to them?

Neither. 10-3 with losses to OSU, Wisconsin and Iowa and Riley's seat will be scorching. 0-6 against Wiscy and Iowa is not okay.

"Scorching" seems a bit much. Of course, I suppose it does matter what those games look like. For the record, I think we win both those games (Wisky, Iowa) this year.

Not even a little bit.

I mean, given where Nebraska football has been it's pretty mind-boggling to me that the current operation could be on any sort of hotseat in the near future.

Let's get antsy after a few more years and things are going south, if that happens. That at least would be understandable.

These are good times for NU football, guys. Have some fun with it!

Wanna bet. Eichorst brought Riley in to win. Going 0-6 against our biggest competition in the west that happen to be very average teams will get boosters riled up. My guess would be Eichorst is out if we don't win the west and go 0-2 against Wiscy and Iowa.

No way Eichorst fires Riley after year three if we go 10-3, with those two losses.... Now, if Eichorst was ousted?, maybe

( I think Landlord's post was referring to you saying losing too Wisky/Iowa is "not okay"....maybe not).

Wait, hold on, give me a minute to get worked up over losing games we haven't played yet. I'll be back.
