  1. Just sitting around waiting for a call and hopefully a job offer. Such a stressful situation.

  2. People love to rag on the NCAA, but do they propose any other viable alternatives?

      Start giving programs the death penalty and/or banning players for life.

       

      Or, start paying the players.

      Also now in discussion is whether kids should receive compensation for their likeness. Who determines what that is worth, T. Boone Pickens and Phil Knight?

      Who's ragging on the NCAA? Every yin needs it's yang. On one hand you have college athletics and on the other you the National Communists Against Athletics. It's a symbiotic relationship.

  3. If Bama loses this weekend, do they fall below Stanford?

      I think they would just stay 1 and there might be another team that they list as 1A or something.

      Wait a doggone minute. Doesn't the world stop spinning if Bama is anything less than number one? Below Stanford? That's crazy talk. ESPN would implode and the fallout would kill off all of humanity.

      Moudy got in the way, Ameer was almost parallel to the ground as he was tripped, and the defender punched at the ball. Kinda fluky and not sure how it could have been saved.

      The AA ball punch. The call on Alonzo Moore's catch. The call on DPE for fair catch. Yeah, this game could easily have gone the other way.

      Independent voter checking in. The e-mail security thing didn't bug me much. I found the content of the e-mail much more obnoxious. I also live in WA so I knew that I could vote my ideals without major consequences. If I still lived in Michigan probably would've viewed things differently.

      Read "right now". McIlroy is destroying people in majors. Tiger was lucky to break 80 on the last day of the Open last year. He's not right mentally still and hasn't won a major since 08. That's not to say he won't ever again, but if Tiger was still Tiger Nike wouldn't have gotten Rory.

    3. QMany

      QMany

      Tiger is still the needle. Rory has won two (admittedly in convincing fashion). Tiger has been facing injury, life events, injuries, swing changes. Just wait ...

    4. QMany

      QMany

      Since Tiger has been "back" from injury and swing changes, he has gone T41-T21-T3-T11. Rory has gone T40-CUT-T60-1. I wouldn't say those are "different planets."

      News really shook me when I first heard. Had to kind of put it in perspective. I really liked Heard and am dumbfounded by this decision, and others this week, but we have a lot to be excited for in the Huskers' future.

    4. HuskerNationNick

      HuskerNationNick

      Looking at the bigger picture, I am not so dumbfounded as when I first heard it. This just gives Cross, Adams and Newby that extra motivation to do well. One man's loss is another man's opportunity.

  14. Next year, Martinez-Abdullah-Heard would have been like Mariotta-Barner-Thomas. SCARY.

      I'm guessing they were going to use him like Thomas, getting carries and receptions. GETTING HIM THE BALL. Or, they saw a freshman taking the #2 spot. Either way, best of luck Braylon.

      Four of five losses were with one of best players out. Take away 13.5 ppg from any other team and they lose twice as many. Withey, Oladipo, Appling, etc.

      My Yankees don't like to pull anyone up this early in the season. Give it about 2 months and then he could very get his chance in the majors. Is he a Nebraskan? It would be awesome to have another one in the rotation!

      So, how does the NCAA allow this for just one conference? Are other conferences supposed to do this as well to keep up with the Jones's? What if other conferences cant? This is another advantage for SEC that isnt regulated, right?

      No way can that is that feasible. If it is allowed, it is highly unethical, in my opinion.

      There were similar proposals at the NCAA level, but I believe they put them on hold to address things like the rule changes they're enacting for this season. :|

       

      And WHayes, you're right, but not every player is dishonest and would even think about taking $4,000 and the slap on the wrist.
