James Patrick Tressel (born December 5, 1952) is the current head football coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Tressel

I've heard rumors theyare after Scott Frost, currently OC at Oregon? Anyone else hear that? Bruce Feldman ‏@BruceFeldmanCFB With Bo Pelini done at #Nebraska, expect #Oregon OC Scott Frost to get a close look. Terrific off. coach & very well-liked by Tom Osborne

Commend you on your thoughtful post. Quite an interesting point you make in #3 above. Not to pour salt in any old wounds or stir up a hornet's nest but there was once a head coach at Nebraska who won 9 games and lost 3 and got fired, just two years after winning 11 games and going to the NCG. As I recall, that head coach hired Bo as DC, and when the HC got the axe, Bo stepped into interim HC position for Alamo Bowl win. Then rather than hire Bo permanently for something like continuity, he got the axe and they broght in a "pro" coach. How'd that work out? Just saying.......

Looks like you called about three minutes too early: LINK Their CS told me they would have something set up later on but well, I finally got the BTN through DISH an Channel 439 (south of Plattsmouth). I am paying $7 per month for the multi sports package in addition to our regular America Top 200. I did this just to insure that if it's on BTN, I will get it because for some reason, I can't bring myself to trust any television broadcast system. Now, come Sept 1, I will be seeking to cancel the Multi Sports package it indeed the BTN is offered without furtehr charge as indicated as part of the AmericasTop packages.

Okay, so I think I've got this figured out. I won't be bothering to switch to Direct because, as I understand it, it doesn't matter which satelite system or cable system you have, regarding Husker football anyway. Direct HAS the BTN now but does NOT HAVE the right to broadcast Husker Games yet. Dish does NOT have BTN but will around Augusut 11, 2011. I'll just add their one time fee sports package around then. But even then, no one, not Direct, not Dish, not Time Waner, not Cox, will have rights to broadcast Husker games. Husker games will be broadcast only after BTN assigned broadcast rights and it won't do that until Time Warner agrees to put BTN on a no pay tier. Sometimes I realy hate what big business has done to college football......

espn link Read the comments section! "My simulated wife made me vitual bacon and eggs in my virtual mansion" Might be a cultural thing but I think the other B1G fans get a bigger kick if their team goes to the Rose Bowl than the MNC game. Have they pubnlished the results of all of their "virtual" games?

We have the Dish Network. It did not offer the Big Ten Network on my programming plan in Nebraska. I called. They said just go to the web site and add it. I did. I confirmed the order of a multiple sports package. The Big Ten Netowrk did not show up on my programming guide. I went back to the web site. Any evidence that I had ordered it was gone. So i called Dish Network again. Now they explain that they will automatically add the Big Ten network to locals near Big Ten Schools. At no additional charge. So, I asked when they would do that. They said when the Big Ten Network got broadcast rights in Nebraska. I asked when that might be. Dish Network said it was up to the Big Ten Conference. I've read about the head butting with Time Warner Cable and how that is holding up the delivery of broadcast rights. However, I'm technically challenged and don't understand what that all means. I know that DirectTV already offers the Big Ten Netowrk and that Dishnetwork offers it also to zip codes less than two miles east of me in Iowa. So, how and why is a cable tv company holding Nebraska fans hostage? I'd appreciate any information any of you can share as I am deciding on whether or not to switch to DirectTV.

I don't care who you are. That there is funny! In fact, that may be the best post ever........

I think the bigger question is how well will the Husker Defense play in the CCG? So, what say you? How many point can they hold Texas to, thus setting the bar for how good the O has to be in order to win. Or do you think the D can score enough to win it alone?

A close loss would just mean that NU was not yet a great team. Great teams win the close ones, teams that are just pretty good occasionally upset great teams and thus take a step toward their own greatness. The early season VT loss was a sign that NU is not yet great but had great potential. But I don't see any loss at the end of the season as positive unless "alsoran" is positive.

What ever happened to that Martin or Mark Lucky dude who played for the Huskers a couple of years ago. Aint heard much about him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlon_Lucky

Yeah, too bad we only see them every other year but it makes the game in Lincoln every four years that much more special.

At a Coloradans for Nebraska Watch party!. Was going to travel to the game but plans changed due to son on leave from Marine Corps. About 250 Husker fans and maybe like four Beefalos. They were pretty cocky to say the least. Was on second Jack (double) and Coke. When they snapped the ball, I instantly got a chill. When the kick went up, I literally jumped up on my chair and started screaming "GOOOOOOOUSUNOVABCHGOOOOOOO" even before it went. When it went through, the whole place erupted, total pandemonium. I saw like four spilled drinks and a couple of dinners hit the floor as well.

FWIW, Freeman didn't fare very well at the combine last weekend.

Those were the genious defensive calls of the season IMHO, plus brilliantly executed. I have very warm feeling about the future of Husker football.
