Well,  It's Unanimous;  Huskers WIN:  72-0!      Oh Wait!!!!!      How Could we ALL be so Wrong!  

 

Highest score predicted for the Huskers was 95 points by @Handy Johnson& myself;  with the lowest score predicted of 72  (@cjbowbros)  

 

Just about this time I think SOME of us may be re-evaluating our predictions for the Season Record; some of us even !  

Myself, I need a major Attitude-Adjustment.  I'm starting with Jack (Daniels).

*As a side note: I spoke with a prominent “Media member” over the weekend who thought if we won 4 Conference games, Fred should win B1G Coach of the Year.

So who was the genius? None of us predicted this much losing.

I stopped doing the HHCC contest because I'd forget to pick a score some game and it would knock me out of the running and then I'd be all pissed about it.

 

That said, I'm going to make a prediction about the season win-loss record because I'm usually accused (and guilty) of being a sunshine pumper but I look at some of these win predictions in this thread and find myself scratching my head. I get told I do it every year -- pump things up and make it seem like we'll go undefeated.  I've pumped things up this year as well, but just want to go on record that, while I'm excited about what we're going to see from Hoiberg's team, I don't have any misapprehension about us being a top shelf Big Ten team.  I mean, we're not. And we won't be.

 

I think we'll have a very good back court, but I think we'll struggle in conference games and it'd be a pretty good accomplishment for us to win more than about 3-4 conference games. So, I'm thinking 7-8 non-con wins and another 3-4, maybe 5, conference wins.

 

I'm going to say 12 total wins and I'll be satisfied. More than that and I'm happy.

@Norm Peterson knew what might happen.

Not to go too far Off-Topic regarding Lady Huskers but your comment, Handy, reminded me that I haven't seen any postings by @ladyhusker for some time.  Looking at the profile her last posting was on 4/8/19; just around the time of our transition from Coach Tim Miles to Fred Hoiberg.  She had several good observations at the time and some of us expressed that we'd like to see her post more often.   Her last log-on was May 22, 2019 and I am wondering if anyone has any news regarding her absence?

She PM a couple of times last year. And yes she was tied into the program with Miles.  Don't know who her husband was but he was not retained.

Thank You @Silverbacked1!  I didn't know that; sorry to see that she is no longer active on the board.  Best Wishes to her, and her husband!

Her voice on this Board has been sorely missed...

Well time to get a new Lady Husker with inside information.  Heck are there any female posters here?  They tend to have more common sense than we males, just ask my wife!

[Red Don]

Well, I believe @huskerchode, who's a fan that participates in the WBB Forum, belongs to the 'fairer sex! 

 

(Here's an invitation that your talents may also be sought on the MBB Board.  )

Sorry to disappoint - I don't follow men's basketball.

 

Let me backtrack - I haven't followed men's basketball since Piatkowski was one of my students at UNL back in the day.

Well, there is a Jace Piatkowski now on the roster.  Perhaps the new regime under Fred Hoiberg may also pique your interest!

As fate would have it, I had lunch with Mr Coatney on President’s Day & gave him credit where credit is due...
