Rumblin' happy with Huskers so far; can Badgers test Bama?

Thursday, September 12, 2024

Gazette scribbler R.B. (Rhule Believer) Headley continues his quest to pick every college football game this season with happy words for Husker fans.

“Don’t be down on the bad second half vs. Colorado. They kicked the Buffs’ tails,” Rancid Beef proclaimed. “Matt Rhule is building Big Red into a strong team again. They have everything and most importantly, they appear strong on both lines.

Yet the toughest tests are still ahead, don’t expect 12-o. An 8-4 season? It’s within reach for sure.”

Rumblin’ Bumblin’ slipped after an 81-8 opening week filled with glorious cupcake games and hit 57-20 last week for a two-week mark of 138-28.

Plus now he cannot spell calculator on google ..wait, finally he figured out internet science to see his overall winning percentage at .831.

It may take a hit once again as the path only gets slippier during week three...
