I haven’t bet on the Huskers since the Colorado game in 2001. I have had too much heartbreak in the last 10 years to talk smack or make overly bold predictions. Wisconsin has not played anyone yet. Neither has Nebraska. I haven’t seen enough from either team to give me a good read on this game. But I will be glued to the screen until the fat lady sings.
The estimate of 20-30,000 fans is just the fans who are travelling to Madison. There will not be that many in the stands, but you can count on seeing quite a few inside Camp Randall. The rest will be in the parking lot. And hey, you should get to know them. There will be some a-holes, just like any school has (and, like any school, the a-holes are the ones who get noticed), but most will be pretty cool, win or lose.
I know I’m a bit biased, but I think Pelini will have this team ready to go. Huskers by 7. Go Big Red!
