  1. Thought the shuttle system was incredible and very efficient. Honestly, we use it all of the time for football games and last night was 1000x better in terms of professionalism, quality of busses and customer service. If you don't attend many football games I think it would be hard to see how impossible it is to get 90K people packed into and out of the same city block for a 3 hour event. Honestly, I would advise the university to copy this blueprint for all large events at Memorial. The no cost shuttle appeared to encourage a significant number of people to opt in utilizing it which significantly cut down on the horrible traffic/pedestrian flow into and out of the area. Obviously, those costs would need to be recouped somewhere else but the reason there were lines to get to the shuttle is because so many people were happy to use them. Again, if you've ever gotten out of a packed house nailbiter football game after the 4th quarter in under and hour I'd be surprised.
  2. Gotta do something for income while you’re waiting on those sweet, sweet NIL deals to roll in. Hopefully some great ones can come his way now.
  3. Was booked for Nashville mid September. Super sad this didn't work out. Would love to know more details.
  4. My contention is that he took over a program at the very top while the main rivals were down a bit, which made up for some of his deficiencies but he is slowly losing ground each year and will continue to do so. Urban momentum will run out much like Osborne momentum ran out for Frank. Day is in a populous area with much better access to talent than Frank had, and Day also does actually recruit, which Frank never did very well, so the slow down will take a bit longer, but I think it will happen because I don't think that Day is a great football mind and his advantages will continue to dwindle.
  5. He inherited a roster second, at the time, ONLY to Bama. As stands, he is failing to maintain that position and now PSU and Michigan are back to life. NIL is in its infancy and the transfer portal will only hurt schools like OSU in maintaining an lock grip/stockpile on hoarding all of the best athletes across the country.. So, from there it starts to boil down to coaching chops, and I don't think Day brings anything exceptional to the table in that regard. In fact, I'd argue that stupid PJ packs a more powerful coaching punch, although real athletes won't buy into that guys' schtick. Day will lead a slow decline over the next 3-5 years and somebody will fine a reason to justify a move along situation. Glad we have Rhule. Guy seems like, at the very least, he's a well organized cerebral coach. I'd take him over Day any day.
  6. Day isn't the guy. Day is Solich but in a better recruiting location. OSU won't stand for less than great any more than NU was willing to.
  7. Until this year I probably would not have been very understanding of this situation, but I have a kid that, over the course of a few years, went from loving a sport, then began to barely like it, then started to hate it 1/4 of the way into this past season, so now I get it. Nothing is worse than an athlete out there trying to fake that they care. My kid truly tried to handle business on the field, and did ok at it, but the passion was not there anymore and its just a waste of time at that point. We made the decision to hang up the uniform because it isn't fair to everybody else on team to only partially be "in." I can't hate on Betts for making the same choice.
  8. The biggest difference already between what Frost and Rhule both say they demand with regards to work ethic, maturity, responsibility, etc, is that, while they both say very similar things, Rhule is the only one that actually sent Allen and Farmer packing and told Fleeks to stay home until he was able to hold his head up and say he is doing his part to be on the team. s#!t carries 10000 times more weight when you hold your key diva's accountable like you say you will.
  9. There are not enough teams anybody cares about there to remain competitive long term. They can exist as a G5-esque level conference but any remaining team either needs to be ok with that or be begging for a lifeboat in the Big12
  10. Even if we assume 4 million a game net, that’s only 32 million/year. That’s not enough to sustain and athletic department. The reason the money is rolling in is because schools understand you don’t trip over those nickels, you aim for those broadcast hundies.
  11. I'm not sure it matters. These deals are done BECAUSE they know that the butts are moving out of the stands and into the couch more and more each year. Trying to keep teams in "region" based conferences is exactly what would have sunk any conference that tried to do it. There isn't enough money to focus on trying to get 50-80k people to a location 3 hours 8 times a year. The money is trying to get a large percentage of 350 million to focus on the box in the living room for 8-12 hours 14 times/year. I don't want to be petty, but Nebraska needs to worry more about getting the 80k willing to travel to Memorial again as they are having plenty of issues moving those tickets. I think how many red hoodies show up in Phil Knight land in 2028 is a blip on the "things we should worry about" radar.
  12. Good thing we cleaned house on the O-Line coaching staff. Oh wait..... ;0
  13. That's after the super conference money happens. Likely 2028.
  14. Ya, horrible look for Stivrins.
  15. Iowa is a rival because the horrible people of the state often frequent ours and we have to smell them.
  16. Honestly, if a kid is going to be dumb enough to choose Iowa, it is not likely that he would have been able to maintain academic eligibility here anyway.
  17. And, as a Nebraska boy, has a chance to become a legend here.
  18. Let’s go get the Ivory Coast guys then. At least they are immediately available.
  19. Still. 2 years of “everything can change,” and I’m not spending too much energy here in I’m NU. It’s like a developmental project that is not even around to develop.
