drfish Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Long time no post. Really impressed with what the Bulls have been doing. Hi to all those that might still remember me from the distant past back around 2006 or so. Good luck on Saturday, though you may not need any. Nebraska has only one 2 games in a row twice since 2016. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a wee bit embarrassing that here we are days before a big P5 game and there's barely a post on this, or the other, Bulls fan forum. Nebraska has several, all with fans chatting away. Welcome back. The Bulls have made some strides since your last post. Edited September 8, 2021 by promotherobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see you back drfish. I won't drag you back into the Big 8 chats like times past. Hope it's a good game for both teams. Boomer...'er, Go Bulls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drfish Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) Oh yes, Husker fans are expecting a payback for '97 from the Sooners this year. In case you need reminding the score was the same as the Bulls game last week. I saw that one in person.

121Merrimac Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I didn’t post much back then, so I wouldn’t expect you to remember me. But, it’s nice to have you back, even if only for a short time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we played Ohio State or Penn State, it was a ton of "oooohs and ahhhhhhhs", but now I feel like it might be time to play with the big boys...

We are also not 50+ point underdogs like we used to be either. We have a legit shot at this one and Coastal as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drfish Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 UB has been in the top 25 more recently. If anyone should be the dog, it is Nebraska. Maybe they will surprise and clean up all the crap that has held them back recenly, but there is no good reason to believe that will occur.

DocCas86 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Ranking teams is an imprecise exercise at best, particularly this early in season with only one observation for UB against a very weak opponent. So it means little come game time, but FWIW, here is a summary of the Massey Composite Rankings (31 rankings used), with the mean ranking and Massey.com specific ranking. The prevailing view is that this should be a very competitive game although massey.com would have Nebraska a 13 point favorite which is in line with some of the spreads out there. Roughly half of the ranking sites have UB rank between 40 and 65 compared to 53 to 83 for Nebraska. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drfish Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 Game forecast is for it to be nearly 100 degrees on Saturday. Better bring plenty of Gatorade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
