Yup. Would have loved to see 2 or 3 OTs. Or 6 OTs like the Cuse/UConn game 10+ years ago.

In the long run this won't matter to the athletes as they play the game. But it is funny that the baseball team gave up 4 runs in the 1st inning on Wednesday. Glad this news broke Wednesday and not Friday for the basketball team's sake. They don't need a distraction like this throwing off their gameday preperation.

The committee always seems to have a sense of humor with 1 or 2 1st round games each year, so I am going to call it now: 7 Nebraska vs 10 Texas A&M

Much rather play Penn St. I know we beat Indiana twice by 15, but they still scare me. Raneau and Ware are players.

Someone needs to take Trev's phone

(Trying to not get political) Abbott signed an anti-DEI bill for state universities (A&M is one) last June that just went into effect a Jan 1. For public colleges and universities in Texas, Jan. 1 isn’t just the start of the new year. It’s also the day the state’s anti–diversity, equity and inclusion bill, SB 17, will go into effect—a development many institutions have spent months preparing for. But that preparation has varied greatly depending on the institution. Some universities jumped into overdrive as soon as Governor Greg Abbott signed the bill in June, immediately cutting DEI and related offices, such as multicultural and LGBTQ+ resource centers. Other institutions remain in limbo, unsure what if any actions to take ahead of the Jan. 1 deadline. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/students/diversity/2023/12/19/texas-institutions-prepare-anti-dei-law-go-effect

14 might not be happening in 2026…

The replies to this. Read the room, Trev.

:nods head up and down:

Regarding Trev’s comments, will the political situation be any different at Texas A&M?

From a "guy who knows stuff" on another message board and has been right about a lot of things in the past: The BOR did a half-a$$ search for a new president (Carter replacement) and had settled on naming the Chris Kabourek (the current interim president) the new president. Trev and Kabourek don't get along the best going back to Trev's UNO days. Trev feels Kabourek is underqualified to be president and also Kabourek isn't keen on the new stadium project.

Failing to fulfill the promise that made him the No. 5 pick in the 1994 NFL draft, linebacker Trev Alberts retired yesterday after three injury plagued seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts announced the retirement a day after the former Nebraska star failed to show up for scheduled reconstructive surgery on his right shoulder. "It was something that was hanging out there that needed to be closed, and now it is," said Bill Tobin, vice president of football operations for the Colts. https://www.southcoasttoday.com/story/sports/1997/07/23/colts-linebacker-alberts-calls-it/50607181007/

Agree with everything Dirk has been saying the last 24 hours. I think there is plenty of blame to go around here. BOR, lack of President, Chancellor, Governor, Legislature, and Trev - all of them.

Gotcha loud and clear

Here is that is out there on the A&M terms

He just signed a new contract 4 months ago that made him the 2nd highest paid AD in the B1G and top 10 nationally.

Trev quit ESPN by not showing up Labor Day weekend in 2005 because he thought he was playing second fiddle to the Gameday crew. John Walters, SI.com ESPN fired Trev Alberts on Sunday after the college football analyst failed to show up for work at ESPN's studios in Bristol, Conn. "He phoned and said that he wasn't going to show up," Mark Shapiro, ESPN's Vice President of Programming and Production, told SI.com on Tuesday night, "and when he didn't, he was in breach of his contract and we terminated him." Alberts, a former All-American defensive end at Nebraska and member of the NFL's Indianapolis Colts, was embarking on his fourth season as part of ESPN's popular College Football Scoreboard and College Football Gameday team. But on Sunday morning, in the midst of college football's first big weekend of the season, Alberts phoned ESPN's coordinating producer of college football, Ed Placey, and voiced his discontent. "He phoned us and told us that he was unhappy with his role on College GameDay," said Shapiro. "He felt that he was playing second fiddle." As the day wore on, according to both Shapiro and Alberts, there were several conversations between Alberts and ESPN senior vice presidents Jed Drake and Norby Williamson. Finally, Alberts announced that he would not be reporting for work that afternoon (ESPN and ESPN2 aired three college football games between 3:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.). Once Alberts failed to appear for his studio show assignment with host Rece Davis and fellow analyst Mark May, he was fired. "They first wanted me to resign," Alberts said on Tuesday night from his Atlanta home. "Then they fired me. I obviously have a serious problem with the word 'breach', but that's something my attorney will work out."
