Edibles on the training table would solve this......

Getting to Vegas is good before the NFL stadium opens up there. Nobody still has any desire to go to NYC and Yankee Stadium in the winter for the Pinstripe Bowl. No more "holidays" in San Diego. I imagine a few 'Husker fans were hoping they would dump one of the Florida games for a game in Texas.

Losing out on the measuring stick game against Mississippi State hurt also.

Darren Rovell and Dan Wolken on the list will cause some people to stop and pause.

They might have also helped keep our old "friends", Mizzou, out of the tourney.....haha

I wholeheartedly agree. Not that it will be easy, but if I could pick a regional for the 'Huskers to go to, Stillwater and Lubbock would be good choices. Wanted to avoid Nashville, Pasadena, and Starkville for sure. Fayetteville would have been difficult too. LSU might be a little down this year, but Alex Box in B.R. is also a tough environment for the visitor.

Yikes! Dudy-Noble is a very tall mountain to climb. I suppose at least it isn't Vandy. Good to be in the tourney but I think I'd rather play in a Big XII regional.

Funny, an ESPN talking head was commenting on the Big Ten at the top of the mountain as far as conference revenue. He then made an unsubstantiated comment about the SEC being on the top and surpassing the Big Ten in a year. They just can't help themselves. I thought part of the genius of Jim Delany was that the Big Ten will be first again to negotiate when the time comes. Unless he knows of some sort of SEC expansion in the future, I just laugh that the "company man" crap. I wonder how much trash we are going to be fed about the ACC's 2nd best team when the ACC network gets going? Propaganda for UVA, Boston College, or 'Cuse without earning it.

I agree, however I believe they should make an effort in pushing back the season one month otherwise I think there is a ceiling the Big Ten could aspire to and it is below the other P5 leagues. The CWS in July would be fine. Maybe the SEC and ACC like the competitive advantage and would block it? It makes no sense to start in February when MLB starts in late March.

Didn't Indiana make it in 2013?

Joe Bauserman have any eligibility left?

I am sure I am in the minority but I prefer Texas over Oklahoma because Texas adds recruiting territory to a conference that needs it. OU hitched their wagon to UT over NU years ago and Oklahoma adds very little to recruiting options. I'd add Texas and Kansas. Sign me up for the 'Huskers beating the 'Horns over the Sooners.

I agree, it's worth more to the network to have a conference game instead of a OOC game against Charleston Southern and the school of the defunct Confederate Army, The Citadel.

New York City and Chicago are greater than Atlanta and Nashville, confirmed.

John Bishop isn't commenting on the big picture here. The season starts in February. MLB gets flak sometimes for cold, and wintry conditions when they start in late March. Move the season back a month and I think you see the Big Ten more accomodating to the 3rd assistant as the weather becomes less of a competitive disadvantage.
