Sparty never gets any respect from this board and I have no idea why

That game in East lansing is tougher than any vs our B1G west peers

@minn #2?! Maryland at home a tougher game?? Lol please

Minnesota better than Sparty and it’s the first game of the year, don’t be stubborn that this isn’t a factor..

Gophers had Herky’s conference schedule they’d be favored winning the west.

 

[HuskerOH]

At the end of the season bring this thread back and put the team's final record next to their name and see who was closest...

Mel Tucker is their coach and they aren't going to be very good again? I didn't understand the MSU hype last year either.

goes both ways

if you want to laugh at Mel Tucker for beating frost, you must also ding fleck and terrible minn for getting his ass kicked by him

Gophers beat Sparty last year 34-7.. Fleck is 3-1 against SF..

last year is meaningless

both teams are unrecognizable compared to 2022

Agreed, What’s your point.

 

[king_kong_]

Agreed, What’s your point.

My point is minnesota sucks, should be an easy win. First game of Rhule tenure is an advantage, not disadvantage

@sparty is tough, will not be an easy win

If last year is meaningless, then what is 2018 which is the last time we beat the Goofers? That was 5 years ago, goofers way better team than sparty

 

[king_kong_]

🙄 again Minnesota better than Sparty..

Based on last year, which you admit is meaningless

 

[king_kong_]

If last year is meaningless, then what is 2018 which is the last time we beat the Goofers? That was 5 years ago, goofers way better team than sparty

“We”

It appears you, also, have missed the point

It’s all meaningless since both teams have new players at basically every position

Duh

Discounting Tucker while sucking off Fleck is a fool’s errand in a mediocre conference where all teams are essentially the exact same

 

[Redmich]

Nebraska had a 10 pt lead into half and lost by 7 - despite playing Smothers and Purdy and being coached by a felon

Minn has a new starting QB, lost their primary offensive weapon and is still coached by Fleck

[salsa red]

NU is a 4 win team until they prove they are different. Noone should be overlooked.

Kaliakmanis isn’t a new QB. Came in for Morgan against Nebraska and started the last 4 games including the bowl game which he was injured and he is twice as good as Morgan..

Have one of the best TE coming back along with Daniel Jackson and Altman - Bell returns for his 6th year and Elijah Spencer transfers from Charlotte as all conference freshman last year.. Only two returning offensive line players..6 starters return on defense..

Biggest loss was Ibrahim.. Bryce Williams returns and had 127 yards against Nebraska..

This is a good football team..

It’s an average (at best) team coached by a prematurely bald male cheerleader

All their players stink based on recruiting rankings

Mel Tucker beat frost somehow without getting a first down the entire second half haha.

Mel Tucker had a smoke and mirrors season, got paid, and won’t sniff any seasons like that again. Msu much like Wisky are in for a long downturn.

 

[TampaBaySkers]

1: Mich

2-12 : looks like a ksu ooc schedule

 

[Redmich]

It is so confusing - all off season it is talk about what buffoons other coaches are (Fleck, Ferentz, etc etc) and how we made a home run hire but the moment you suggest we should beat those clowns there is pushback

Maybe we should have been more fiscally responsible and just named Ryan Held head coach

We were every bit as good as they were on the field with shitty coaching and playing high school QBs … they have the same coaching while we presumably upgraded a great deal

I haven’t seen Top Gun or yourself toughness to easiest predictions, but yet it’s how bad just the gophers are..

Taking in consideration it’s our first game with a new staff and head coach I chose accordingly..

We essentially play a version of the same team 12x next year

One of the easiest schedules in all of P5

Any result below 8 wins should be viewed as a failure, and I guarantee the staff feel the same way

 

[K_Y_E]

Sucks that we are worried about a very average Minnesota team. This should be an easy win.

I think NU wins easily, but, we still have to see the "type" of gameplan, in-game adjustments by both Satterfield/White.

I think Minnesota will shit when they see this is not gonna be that same old soft, easy pickings team of a Frost era.

We don't know if Sims stays healthy, and how well we pressure QB's, but I think this program is headed for a large improvement, starting this year.

People will be surprised at the physical/conditioning improvement the Huskers will have beginning with the opener.

This has been a serious operation in terms of getting kids bigger/faster/stronger and better conditioned.

It seems like a lot of these kids have bought into the Rhule methodology.
