I found this interesting ^^^ Other thoughts: Leagues come and go, some without even a kick off. Just a few weeks ago I heard rumblings of an NFL developmental league did some digging and the responses ranged from "Never is ever going to happen" to "We're starting this spring". I still think the UFL started and operated under the gamble that the NFL would swoop in and fund them as a D league and I'll never get why they insisted on playing in the fall. I do miss the Nighthawks, don't miss how the players got treated when things got lean. I was smart enough not to buy season tickets to the final season. I blinked and missed the Mammoths (or did I?) anyway they followed me on twitter. I've watched 3 Lincoln and 1 tri-city team disappear and the once mighty Arena league dwindle down to only 4 teams. Still my Beef tickets should arrive any day now. I always have the same thought during the spring game. It seems like a shame to NOT use memorial stadium in the spring. My favorite league that never made it off the ground was made up of teams (Nebraska was one of the teams rumored) to use college stadiums and not even have team names just Nebraska, Tennessee, Arkansas etc made up of simple uniforms and former players who played there previously...never happened but I would have liked to see it. There seems to exist a notion amongst most football fans in America, if it isn't NFL or 1-A college football then it isn't worth your time and if you're into it, you'll be made fun of. As long as this is around I don't see any other league lasting very long.

I wonder about this a lot. Do we not "play ball" like other schools? Is that why we make hay with guys like Kenny Bell and Keyshawns kid, who wouldn't take $$$ as much into consideration.

Sells papers, gets clicks.

I've always liked the guy even as a potential HC here, but he's been at VT since 1987 I don't think the head coach in waiting every really works. Jimbo Fisher at FSU, is the only one that I can think that it worked out. Plus, that can backfire in recruiting, because the kids won't know who the real head coach is going to be, and when the head coach is actually going to step down. Devaney -> Osborne Good question.

I don't think Minny is happless.

We were never a triple option attack iirc.

I didn't want to be that guy.

My responses to peoples status don't seem to be sticking either.

One thing is for sure, lotta eyes one the spring game. Even more than usual.

IKR?! This seems to happen before our Basketball games too.

I got the "Site is unsafe" page when trying to log in. It said this sites security certificate expired two days ago. I tried dumping my cache, I "Continued Anyway" and my latest post when I try to edit it the changes don't seem to stick. And sometimes have #'s and stuff where the ' and other punctuation should be. Using Chrome.

I think the fact that EVERY little thing is reviewed in college vs NFL and similar reviews for the lovely targeting bs. Scoring plays, turnovers and let coaches challenge, that's it. This seems to come up about every 10 years. I remember this coming up last during the Callahan days so I suppose we're do. Nebraska is about the only game I watch "live" otherwise it's pause, check to see if I'm still married and have kids,...maybe talk to them, see how old they are, then get back to the game and buzz through the commercials and endless replay review.s

Minimum Four Losses

This.

No.

I'm been trying to make this argument for almost 40 years, this kid did it in a half hour. http://twitter.com/PaperWash/status/389394354034704385

As far as I know this will be the first stop Miles hasn't been able to turn around a team. Makes me wonder if it's just not do-able here at Nebraska. We don't have a history of opening up the checkbook, even in football so I just envision another 4 to 6 year fall guy. All of the state of the art facilities....I think we may have missed our window. Yes someday we might accidentally catch on fire and win a tourny game in my lifetime, but it will be a statistical abnormality.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Winning a conference title is on a different tier now that we are in a league with 14 teams, 7 just in our division vs 8 in our entire conference during "the good old days" plus now we have a championship game. Even in the chaotic 12 you had four additional teams all of whom voted to stack the odds against us. Yes, we're not as good as we were 20 years ago but I don't look at our lack of a conference championship as some sort of unfathomable failure.

Edit: well poop, that didn't work.

This poor guy! First the Colorado game and then judging by this post the 2007 Okie State game.....I wonder what he's up to now.

I don't see Harbaugh leaving his alma mater for this:

QB = Too much credit when things go well, too much blame when things go bad.

Love the name, one of my favorite episodes ever.

I never really had a problem with him when he was here, I was more concerned about our defense that year.
