Husker fans are way to sensitive

He was? Once he became OC, he basically brought in a QB every year and called it a day. That's pretty much what Langsdorf does as well. Seems like OC/QB Coaches recruit their QB then worry more about game-planning and the offense while the other guys recruit. I agree. IMO you can't be a "great" recruiter if you bring in 1 guy a year.

Austin Ward doesn't think much of our defense.

And I wouldn't be surprised if that Black Friday Iowa game gets moved at some point in the future. Iowa hates playing that game on a Friday.

I've gone around with him all day about it. I generally like what he posts, but you're right, he's getting annoying.hes normally a joy. This is the only topicwheres hesbeen a pain about. Maybe its cuz i cant find any positive out of this. And dont see him doing so either. Hes just mocking everyones negatives. Well, he works for the NU AD now and not the LJS...

I'm on board with a road Friday game @ a lower level B1G team every 3 years. I liked the road Thursday games we started playing when we were in the 12.

Yes, we do have a better chance of playing a Pac 12 or SEC team due to the B1G bowl agreements. Our only chance of playing a ACC team is if we make the Orange Bowl (probably need to win out and lose in the CCG) or falling way down to the Pinstripe Bowl (which would require us to go maybe 1-3 rest of the way). And the B1G doesn't have a bowl tie in with the Big 12, so they are off the table. Getting a Cotton Bowl bid (10-2 w/o playing in CCG?) would require us to play a Group of Five team.

With the fan reaction seemingly being 99% negative, do we think that this will actually go through? Or will the school presidents/Delany cave?

This is idiotic. Let teams schedule Thursdays/Fridays if they want to, but don't force it onto teams.

Downtown Lincoln businesses hate this.

Another sign we are not sitting well with Calvin and/or Lewis?

One of the big changes that happened with the CFP was that the conferences started to gain more control over the bowl system and take away a lot of power from the old guys in the colored blazers. For the NY6 bowls, the bowls themselves have no input into who they select. It is all determined by the final CFP rankings. This year the Cotton Bowl is locked into taking the top CFP ranked conference champion from the MWC, AAC, CUSA, MAC, and Sun Belt. So whoever the highest ranked CFP team is that doesn't fit into the Rose/Sugar/Orange criteria will be facing one of those teams.

Also, the Big Ten bowl tie-ins: The Big Ten gets a team in the Rose Bowl. It’s the Big Ten Champion if it’s not in the College Football Playoff. Also, the Big Ten is eligible for the Orange Bowl three times between 2014 and 2016. Orange will pick the highest-ranked team from Big Ten, SEC or Notre Dame to play a team from the ACC. If the Orange takes a Big Ten team, the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl will take an ACC team in place of the Big Ten. 1. Rose Bowl (New Year’s Six) – Rose Bowl will choose a Big Ten representative if one of the conference’s teams is in the playoff 2. Orange Bowl vs. ACC or Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl vs. SEC – Agreement is for five different teams in six years, so no Minnesota or Michigan. 3. Outback Bowl vs. SEC – Agreement is for five different teams in six years, so no Wisconsin or Northwestern. 4. National Funding Holiday Bowl vs. Pac-12 – Agreement is for five different teams in six years, so no Nebraska or Wisconsin. 5. TaxSlayer Bowl or Music City Bowl vs. SEC – ACC and Big Ten combine with each getting three appearances in six years. The Big Ten played in TaxSlayer last year and will most likely go to Music City. No Penn State or Iowa in TaxSlayer. 6. New Era Pinstripe Bowl vs. ACC – Not official, but would prefer to have eight different teams in eight years, so no Penn State or Indiana if possible. 7. Foster Farms Bowl vs. Pac-12 – Agreement is for five different teams in six years, so no Maryland or Nebraska. 8. Quick Lane Bowl vs. ACC 9. Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl vs. Conference USA – Agreement for three Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas and three Armed Forces bowls in six years. Illinois played in Dallas two years ago, it’s Big 12 vs. Navy in Armed Forces this year. http://collegefootballnews.com/2016/college-football-bowl-ties-affiliations-conference

And for those that need a refresher... New Year's 6 Bowls Rose - Big Ten #1 vs Pac 12 #1 Sugar - SEC #1 vs Big 12 #1 Orange - ACC #1 vs Big Ten #2/SEC #2/Notre Dame Cotton - At Large or Group of 5 Peach - At Large or Group of 5 Fiesta - At Large or Group of 5 Also, the CFP selection committee fills these bowls based on their final rankings. This year's playoff bowls are the Fiesta and Peach on Dec 31. So the numbers referenced above (ex: Big Ten #1) would be the highest ranked Big Ten team not in the playoff.

Personally, if we finish with 10+ wins (with either 1, 2 or 3 losses) I see us going to one of the NY6 bowl games. If we don't get a NY6 game, then I would be shocked if we don't end up in Florida in either the Citrus or Outback bowls, as we have spent the last 2 years in California.

Bowl selections are only 5 weeks away.

Fake account. And Kongbo is a So and Hurd a Jr. Butch talked about Hurd leaving yesterday in his presser. Regarding Kongbo: Kongbo’s tweet featured a pair of cleats hanging by their laces with “All things must come to an end” written alongside. According to Tennessee coach Butch Jones, Kongbo was referring to a video game. “He lost in a FIFA game and those were soccer cleats that he tweeted out,” Jones said on Monday during his weekly news conference. http://www.knoxnews.com/story/sports/college/university-of-tennessee/football/2016/10/31/what-did-kongbos-cleat-tweet-really-mean/93081458/
