    Nebraska Picked To Finish 2nd in Big Ten

    In Athlon's preseason magazine. Are you kidding me? If that is the quality of their analysis I'll pass. Bought Lindy's instead and am glad I did, good stuff.

    It's not that far fetched. Lindys is the best magazine out there so u got that right. I'd go Wisconsin easily the best team. But it's pretty log jammed after that. I rank Iowa second then ohio st. Then it gets tougher, then I'd go Illinois, Nebraska, Michigan, Minnesota. Indiana and mich st will b terrible

    What is so funny is that it is Nebraska and Nebraska basketball is what it is - Nebraska basketball. I've lived in corn country forever and have heard the "this is the year they've finally turned the corner" nonsense every season for as long as I can remember back. Show us don't tell us. Until then I'm not drinking anymore of the kool-aid they serve up every preseason.

    If only I could find a prop on whether they will finish 2nd in the Big Ten! I would retire a very wealthy man.

    Of course Nebraska has been awful in years past but Miles has obviously turned the program around. Outside of sconnie the big ten is wide open

    So are you willing to back up your opinion that Nebraska will finish 2nd in the Big Ten with cash? You will have no trouble finding someone to take your action.

    Please tell me where I said Nebraska is going to finish 2nd. All I'm saying is they have as good, if not better, of a chance to finish 2nd as anyone. I actually have some reasoning behind this thinking...unlike you, just basing things from the past where Nebraska had a much different basketball program as a whole

    My comment referenced you blaming an inanimate device for your own stupidity not you double posting. Your other drivel certainly doesn't need to be commented on.

    Don't you think your time would be better spent taking a remedial reading class so your comprehension skills would improve? Victim of the public school system are you?

    Buried? Stop flattering yourself. Your weak sh*t hardly qualifies. So you have exposed yourself as being delusional as well as stupid. You really should have taken my advice to STFU because you are making a complete fool of yourself.

    Get help and get back to me in February when your beloved Cornshuckers are mired in the middle of the pack Sparky.

    To quote Camron, "you mad". I blamed my iPhone because it didn't show that my post was posted you pathetic fukkboy. I'm no cornhusker fan either by any means. Just wanted to hear your LOGIC but you failed to give any legitimate reasoning other than the program's historical struggles. So I guess you should brush up on some critical thinking bruh...guess your private schooling didn't teach that

    Creighton 65

    Mighty Cornhusker basketball juggernaut as 7 point favs at home versus a rebuilding Creighton squad get completely punked by their instate rival. Now do you see what is so funny?

    Stay away from both of those magazines and any magazine you can buy at the grocery store, only one college basketball mag for the gambler and its better than the all. Nebraska at 2 is a joke, they wont finish 2 I can assure you that.

    Do you understand what is so funny now? Oh and by the way, your "player of the year" Petteway isn't even the best player on his own team. The pos is a turnover machine and last I checked he had more turnovers than assists. Player of the Year it the BiG...

    What a sad under-achieving conference. Other than Wisky, Maryland and Purdue, everyone in this conference really disappointed.

    This from the clown shoes who deleted his predictions. You posted them and then 6 weeks into the season went back in and changed your original predictions. Very lame.

    Nonetheless predicting the exact order of finish wasn't the point, nobody can do that. The point was/is I listed five teams who were better than Nebraska and all five of them validated my assessment by finishing ahead of them in the standings.

    And yes as it turns out I was being much too generous Nebraska. I knew projecting them as the 2nd best team in the BiG10 was absurd but underestimated what a complete horse shit team they are.
