OOC The Cornhuskers Concocted
May 20th 2010 22:42
Admit it, you liked the alliteration I just used. Well, while you are no doubt LOLing at my clever cyber-diction, I shall get right on to my next OOC in-depth blog. That of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
First thing's first, Suh-less Nebrasky will be opening their season with a "gridiron" match-up against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.
Now, I'm not the kind of guy to rag any college football team that wants to toss a creampuff on their home turf for their first game of the season, but I think NU's going even a little TOO puffy if they're expecting more respect.
First off, Western Kentucky are called the Hilltoppers....which I've discovered has to mean that their university sits on a bunch of big hills. Anyways, let me put it to you like this. The team considers it impressiveB_OEM_ID=5400" target="_blank">when their QB completes half of his passes and throws for 200 yards.
Crusader's Call: They are out-matched by the Huskers. I predict even a struggling Cornhusker offense will prevail. WKU fans will be pulling that Red Towel over their faces in this game. I will watch this game only to see Big Red eat everyone's babies. NU goes up 1-0.
Next up on the list are the Idaho Vandals.
This Idaho player should definitely be doing his own rendition of "The Chicken Dance". Idaho is going into the 2010 season with a bit of momentum of its own after their HUUUUUGGGEEEE bowl win over Bowling Green, making a last-second two-point conversion with four seconds left that won them the Humanitarian Bowl. Now they're going to take that momentum into Lincoln in 2010 when they take on NU. They return pretty much all of their talent at passing and rushing this coming season.
Crusader's Call: Unfortunately, that kind of momentum is like the little decoder ring you get in the cereal box when it comes to the more major programs in college football. Idaho unfortunately is 2nd or 3rd-tier team in a state that just happens to include the likes of Boise State. NU goes up 2-0.
Now we get tot the interesting part. Next up the Cornhuskers travel even more northward to take on the Washington Huskies.
This man is what's going to test NU. Right here. This one player will make all the difference. Weird things happen when good teams travel up to face the Huskies. With the exception of the 2008 Oklahoma Sooners, a lot of good teams go to die at WU. It's kind of like the same drug-inducing magic that hangs over Lubbock. We all saw it with USC last year, and one of the keys for Nebraska is containing Mr. 2010 Heisman-Candidate QB Jake Locker.
Crusader's Call: This will be the first real test for the 2010 Cornhuskers. It will also test this new defense sans-Suh. If Locker can break through that line, he'll rip them for dozens of yards. I actually think Washington will jump on the Huskers early, with NU pushing back, but without the talent on offense to win the game. Washing till upset them, and NU falls to 2-1.
Last but not least, there's mighty SOUTH DAKOTA STATE!!
There's.....really not much to say, except for the fact that this is yet another creampuff tossed to the sacrificial fires for NU. Nebrasky will take their anguish from the last game out on them, winning big and not looking back before conference play.
Crusader's Call: Um....yeah....what he said. NU 3-1.
So, overall, Nebraske goes into the Big 12 with just one loss. They get 3 OUT OF 5 STARS. The Washington game saved them from just a lowly 2.
Thoughts?
