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.

I really like Bill Walton.  I think he's great!!!

I enjoy Bill Walton.  Takes a little getting used to but he always has an interesting perspective on things, and he says the most random stuff ever.  

That's why I like Walton @swmohusker

They're good.  No, better than good.  Great!

Not a big fan of the country vibe, but it's not too bad. Here's hoping for much success for these guys. 

Catchy song.  I like the video.

Ohio State I don't have a problem with. They're mortal and drop games every year. Bama can suck a fart. It's disgusting watching them, they literally look like an NFL team across their front 7 and O-line.

I've had bama & $EC fatigue for at least 5 years.  I could not possibly care any less about any of them than i currently do.  I will rejoice when someone else steps up to the plate.

Eh, I felt that when LSU played bama for a natty that we were all getting jabbed. We being fans of college football and its rules/traditions. One team earned its way there. The other had money riding/backing it. The rest of the sport changed. As for the Huskers, everybody loves the underdog. We were heavyweights

I was surprised to find he's only 49. 

@Cdog923Yeah that i can believe, I was in high school when UNLV beat them.

I was about 35 when he was in college so he must be about 12 years younger.

Michigan to Nebraska about lack of scoring against TT; Hold my beer.

It does my heart good to see the vulvarines get their tails beat.

This was a live look at Michigan last night during the game.

Yep. Some combination of our talent and development consistently blows goats.

I'm pretty sure it's harder to recruit NU than a lot of schools we'd like to be competing with but we've also has pretty crappy results with a lot of the high-caliber recruits we get.

The silver lining I guess is that most of the best players on the team this year were guys Frost recruited. SO there's that.

After seeing the teams in the BIG 10, none of them beside OSU recruit at an elite level. Penn St and Michigan get solid talent most years.  The rest of the teams recruit to a system and do the best they can with player development. Wisconsin does very well. Iowa most years is 9-3 or 8-4. Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota seem to have turned themselves around and are heading in the right direction.  Mich St, Purdue and NW have taken a step back this year. Rutgers and Maryland have a ways to go with facilities and recruiting.  My hope is Nebraska can climb the ladder and bring in the kids who fit the system and we learn to develop them like Wisconsin. 

On a side note it seems every football announcer who does LSU games has to spill the fact that Joe Burrow wanted to come to Nebraska twice in his career.  It is sad that OC Beck under Pelini was such an a$$ and Frost already had his Qb when Joe decided to transfer.  

I was watching an Oregon game and saw a play we run.  I was thinking wow, that's how it's supposed to look.  The biggest difference was the speed it was executed at.  Our players looks like they are playing in mud.

Wisconsin does a very good job developing players but they also get them to play hard.  They had to play a freshman DB against Minnesota and held his own against Minny's WRs.  He wasn't big and didn't appear to be overly fast.  He just played with a want to attitude.  Sometimes I get the impression that our players aren't willing to make a play out of concern for injury.  That wasn't even on the Wisconsin freshman's mind.

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.  

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.

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.

If she can do to me what she did in 'Unfaithful' Im hers!

That movie made me hate her for long time.

Regardless of the "character" she played....ouch...she was/is smokin for her age.

The Clippers have actually had a really good year. They are just playing a solid Memphis team that could give almost every NBA team trouble.

My bad. I meant a bad playoff series. Agreed this is a tough matchup for them even if they were 100% healthy.

The Clippers probably need to find a defensive minded coach. I love watching them, but they're all flash at times and not very disciplined.

Those are old...

OK. I love the old Fiat commercials that I just saw for the first time.

First time I saw it aswell, and was thinking the same thing.

You have got to say these things to yourself BEFORE posting

Their OL, man.

their head coach was my dream hire

I remember being told i was wrong about beck. Urban meyer hired him said all we beeded to know. Yet, they have considerably regressed in both offensive production and qb play. The ONLY difference is Beck.

Both Beck and Watson were probly better than what Husker fans gave them credit for. OCs are always get too much blame and not enough credit.

I'd say the loss of Herman hurt them more than the addition of Beck. Add in what seems like some locker room drama and rotating QBs and it's not a huge surprise.

Iknowwadyamean. lol

And Wisc wins in overtime.

LOL NU!

Heel wasnt on the line but that wasnt control in bounds

I hope they keep the fix going...I wanna win some cash

Hands to the face is hands to the face. And when you catch that one, itmeans you were warned hence youve gotten away with it a time or two befpre.

Hear! Hear!

Soon. Some good targets out there.

Probly no school in the nation where great O-linemen are more revered than Nebraska. Just sayin..

It's a bit of an accident -- another ad is supposed to go there in its place. Hopefully less intrusive, though, and no video. Thank you all the same, your comment's much appreciated =)

Kudos Tony for saying it out loud - after all the complaining about the penis ads I a bit disappointed at the lack of contributions.

I look at it this way. If I go to a restaurant, I go there because the food is good and the wait staff is friendly.. When I'm done I get a bill. I don't expect the owners of the place to pay for the building and the food so I can eat free. This is where I get the bulk of my Husker info and I would miss it if it was gone.

but is she good at her job

Jenny Dell will ring your bell.

I could watch her eat a big sandwich all day.

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.

Maybe having a bye isn’t such a good thing?

The Michigan coach said he thought his team played well today because they already had a game in the Garden and they were less in awe.

Think of the money you could've made if you had bet the Lions straight up in all three games and doubled down each time.  

This helps our RPI then, right?

Ha ha ha!  s#!t.

Technically the last 3, Penn State is in the final four too

I was so sad to hear this!  He was so young!  I loved that show.  The chemistry between the actors was so good!

Loved that show.  Markie Post was totally hot, even with her legendary fe-mullet.

John Laroquette was hilarious as was the actor who played Bull.  

i didn't expect him to say his team s#!t the bed and the 2 win team sucks 

@commando Here is the thing, he really could not. Nebraska played themselves into that position. The failures that Ohio St had in the game were due more to what Nebraska players (and coaches) did than what Ohio St players failed to do.

It's not like their kicker slipped inexplicably. You could say Haskins INT was because of a poor decision (see Martinez's failed backward pass). However, even that I would say was because Nebraska's combo coverage baited that throw.
