That's okay. We at least got a highlight-reel win for the night. 

And that Illinois team is going to be salty AF next season. They've come exceptionally close to knocking off better teams multiple times this year. Heavily investing/playing youth does that though. 

@TonyStalloni yup and why you don’t let suits pick the players for YOUR system. 

I'm glad that these players found success at other programs.  Had they become Huskers, they probably wouldn't have had the same success, for various reasons.  I don't think that will be the case while Frost is around.

@BoSolich Phillips was on Bo, Stick was on Bo, Fant was a mixture, Bazata was on Bo  Did Riley miss on in state guys, sure and I'm fearful of what Williams will do to us in the future, but it's been 3 straight coaches that have had issues with identifying Nebraska talent.

I was surprised as well. I thought McGowens had a better year, but Branham has a higher ceiling. I think you should give out the award to the one with that had the better season. Unfortunately, these awards rarely go to the person that actually deserves them.

I guess they place absolutely no value on conference championship games. Wasn't the SEC winner determined weeks ago? I won't be watching...

If they are going to use conference championship as a criteria then they need to be faithful to that decision.  I know the argument of 'what if that conference champion is 6-6.  Well, tough. I like the idea of an 8 game play off system. That way all of he conference champs are in plus a Group of 5 Winner.  Leaving UCF out was a major mistake. How cool would it have been to see them play Alabama, Clemson, Georgia or even Oklahoma?  This year's championship is going to be BORING!  I wish we could see a true playoff like they have in basketball or volleyball. That would be exciting.  But college football is all about money now. It's crap. 

I'm just mad. I'll get off my soapbox now.

we are a very small part of the viewing audience....but if none of us watch the ESPNSEC championship game it might be worth doing what we can to help  damage their ratings.  Alabama may win the damn game...but they didn't fairly earn their chance to be there.   FCU and OHIO state earned it more than bama did.

Not sure.  But I also think things will change fairly soon (or settle down) with NIL and the transfer portal.  A monster was created out of a good idea originally.  Too many hands F'd it up.  The original idea was good and helpful (with NIL and transferring). Without leadership and rules in place for all to follow, this is what you get. 

I guess what I'm comparing it to is the decision when the Big 12 was formed that restricted the number of Prop 48 players a school could enroll per year. The vote was 11-1against the policy that Nebraska used to it's advantage. It was one way to bring the Husker program back to earth after many years of success.

I agree.  And he's going to help this line for sure.

I DVR'd that game but haven't had a chance to watch.  Will give me something extra to watch for.

As much as I am rooting for Hastings, it's hard baseball to watch.  The field is way too small for that age, it has bad home plate umpires, and ESPN produces it to make stories.

Looks like they won again today.

They play the winner between Texas and New Jersey on wednesday.

The absolute worst!

I hope OSU beats Ala. 

Good for the B1G.

GBR!!!

I highly doubt that. It was in a Washington Post article and Clay Travis lead that revolt at Tennessee. OSU does the co-coordinator thing on offense and defense because most of their coordinators only stay for 2 years before they get a HC job (or in Tim Beck's case shipped off to somewhere else). There are rumors of a 2 year commitment when taking a coordinator job at OSU under Meyer. Meyer has stated he wants motivated coaches working under him that have the desire to be a HC. It is the nature of success. The Schiano hire was never supposed to be a long term solution at DC.

What will Urb do tho if after 2 years neither have a Power 5 offer?  They could probably go FCS but would likely make more $ staying as a coordinator.

If they keep on winning, I guess he will keep them around. I am guessing that someone will end up taking a chance on them sooner or later. 

Ha, no kidding?  Wow, good for him!

I remember Keith Neubert who played 4 years of basketball at NU in the late 80s, before having a bit of a career in the NFL.  I couldn't remember if he played any football at NU, but it turns out he played 1 year with the football team.

Love these stories. The Johnny Stanton journey is a good one.  

He was hilarious! I guess he died of a heart complication that he had kept secret. Talented comedian. 

Oh my gosh! I didn’t hear that! I liked his music. 

Yes it was sad to hear.  I liked meatloaf, musically and acting.  Great guy RIP

Aguek Arop from Omaha South HS playing for San Diego St against Creighton.

His uncle is a friend of mine, here in Tucson. Told his uncle he couldn't get along with the coach, at Neb.

Was told he also was a little hard to control. Little bit of a wild streak, in him. You could see a little of that in Thursday's game. 

He did play a heck of a game. To bad he couldn't have stuck around, our program.

GBR!!!

He was certainly talented but he needs 4 players around him who rarely get to shoot the ball and are satisfied playing defense and rebounding. Most players these days aren't willing to do that plus a team that can shut Teddy down can pretty much win the game.

Yay!!!

Marshall beat Notre Dame.

I love this too. ND is over rated and now everyone else knows it too!

So a story about Minnesota football is an earthmover?  Having no stories about regular season victories in "minor sports" is one thing.  Having two teams in the Final Four and one of those in the finals of what is one of three "major sports" for women.  If they are so concerned about making money maybe they should think about growing their viewership for women.  

Content decisions are based off of news judgements, audience and analytics. There's a good chance that Minnesota football story may be more germane to their audience than volleyball coverage.

I'm not saying you're wrong. You can make an argument that 'analytics be damned - write about a great story.' There's always a balance there. Just keep their audience in mind. They're writing for fan bases of 14 schools where football is, by far and away, the dominant interest.

I wouldn't let BTN's website content move your needle.

the B1G was severely over rated.  

I had Illinois playing in the Final Four. They just looked too invincible but Loyola/Chicago thought otherwise.

Didn’t really no who was going to play Gonzaga.  But felt pretty good they were going to win it.  

If the 14 or so players that signed today stick around and we get 4 or 5 out of the portal we should be ok.  If not we are constantly reshuffling with new players.

We had a small class because we AREN'T shuffling a lot of new players this year.

Yes, we should get a few more from the portal and possibly yet a couple more HS kids in this class yet.

The excuses being given for why it's a small class are just that: excuses. When you have a small class, you should be focused on quality. This class should've been comprised of primarily 4* with a couple high 3*. Do you ever see any top-tier programs taking a year "off" of recruiting for ANY reason? Heck no.

I hate BIG refs.  Every frickin’ time. Clear pass interference and nope. Terrible.

Not to mention the holding calls that they failed to call on Wisconsin.

If you get a chance look at the end zone camera of the last long touchdown run by the Badgers. Watch Wisconsin’s left tackle mall Luke Gifford. That should have been a holding call. It was way more aggregious than Corcoran’s call.
