I say football. But I was hoping for 8 wins there tops before the season started. 

 

I think this this year will be fascinating on the hard court, but i’m Not sure there will be a lot of wins.

Had football pegged at 8-4 with the possibility of 9-3 now im just hoping for 6 or 7 wins. I think bball will be under .500

[Handy Johnson]

Yes, my answer would have been different. But I was AT the Minnesota football game. If we sneak into the Pinstripe Bowl I’ll be surprised....

[Cazzie22]

I was hoping for a .500 football record and would have been thrilled to win 7 or 8.  Now, finishing .500 is iffy.   Men’s basketball could break .500.

I was there also. Oof, that ballgame was B.R.U.T.A.L.

I don't see the controversy here, Norm. Anyone not agreeing with the result will just consider it "Fake news". It does remind me that I need someone to refresh my memory about locating our 19-20 schedule on HHC. The one at the top is still the 18-19 calendar.

There is a handy-dandy schedule on huskers.com: https://huskers.com/schedule.aspx?path=mbball

18-15 Basketball after B1G tournament. 7-6 for football after bowl. Basketball by a nose!

Yes they are.  Which makes that game a toss-up.

Not sure how we get above .500 overall in hoops short of a near miracle of talent revelation. 

 

Football going to struggle to reach .500 with that tire fire. 

 

I wish there was a "too painful to contemplate" option on this poll.

I think many of football's troubles at Minny can be corrected. Hopefully the health of Wan'Dale & Adrian will improve dramatically, and the O-Line steps up their play in a B1G way asap. I have hope that the football team can come back strong. They were wiped of any confidence, losing 48-7 to OSU then came back to win a hard-fought battle vs NW 13-10. Now they're basically facing the same turnaround (with a helpful bye week in between), I'm looking forward to seeing some meaningful improvement vs the Hoosiers next Sat.

We'll see, but for the present, it seems more likely that the basketball team will finish with a better-than-.500 record.

Well, Illinois beat Wisc. so basically anything is possible !

but we still haven't gotten used to our new status as "meh".
