  1. IIRC Walk-ons earning scholarships in their first two years at the school must "fit" in the 25 new signers that are allowed per year. After two years they can get a 'ship at any time.
  2. In my opinion, Wisconsin's future athletic success depends on the school's president and who she hires. And if I am a Wisconsin fan I'd be worried. I just feel that UW-Madison's leaders just don't get it. Either a "sports guy (person)" or an administrator. If Wisconsin mirrors the history at Nebraska in that the AD's ego is more important than the programs they will see a decline.
  3. And what percentage of this board said "good riddance"? before they checked the calendar and then swore
  4. Jaimes gets invitation to nonexistent combine. discuss....
  5. From an Athlon article from 2016 About Analysts Their roles are a blend between graduate assistant and advance scout. Unlike a quality control position in the NFL or a graduate assistant in college, analysts are not among the group of coaches the NCAA allows to instruct players. Analysts and quality control coaches, like GAs, are not permitted to recruit. By NCAA rules, GAs also must be enrolled as graduate students, as the name suggests. Analysts do not need to be enrolled in classes.
  6. Here in Northeast Nebraska Dish Network has it on FoxS1 at 11 AM Central
  7. You know IF Nebraska could win the next two games, very doable in my opinion, they could end up third in the West. Possibly tied with Minnesota but would have the head-to-head. Goofy Huh
  8. Over Number of times fans throw the Big Red Brick (hopefully the Nerf version) at their big screen per game. 2
  9. Things I know for sure. Sorry, this got way too long. My history of the indoor track. The track under the stadium was the training and competition site for the track team until Devaney was built. Its surface was crushed (red) brick, considered to be superior to crushed (black) cinders. Another surface of the era. I went to a football game in ’93. The track was still there and the records (outdated) were still painted on the wall. Then used for storage I think Yes, the track was only under the east stadium. There was a tunnel that lead from the old field house to the track. Yes it was shaped like a kidney bean because it followed the shape of the stadium. The two corners were steeply banked. Yes it was about 7 laps to the mile, either 252 or 254 yards per lap. The space under the west stadium was the university’s maintenance department under they were moved out for the first really big weight room. All the finish lines were on the home stretch the west side. The backstretch ran under the bleachers which faced the “infield” and home stretch. For meets the 3 60 yard races and the 4 field events were all held inside the kidney bean “oval”. The kidney bean shape of the track was actually an advantage for the races that went around. Runner would shift from running the inside curb on the backstretch to running the outside wall on the homestretch and would never be boxed in for more than about 100 yards. If you were trying to make move to the finish line runners ahead out you moved out of the way. As poor as it was it was still better than most other conference schools. At the time I don’t think Iowa St. and the Oklahoma schools had anything. Colorado and K-St had flat dirt tracks in their field houses that had their basketball courts and seating in the middle of the infield. KU probably had good stuff but Frank Sevigne, NU’s coach, and Bill Easton, KU’s coach, didn’t get along and therefore didn’t have their teams compete against each other. Also, I doubt Jim Ryan ever ran in Lincoln. See above. Ryan’s name on the wall may have been a conference record. I did see Ryan run 3:58 in Kansas City on a board 12-lap-to-the-mile track as an exhibition race when he was a freshman and not eligible for varsity. In conference meets Ryan tended to run multiple events to help his team. His record breaking runs were usually in the summer in national or international meets Besides the mile I believe he briefly held the world’s record in the 880 yard run and he was a 47 second quartermiler too. In all the high school state meets held in Lincoln, all the field events except the shot and discus where held indoors. On Sayer's big day there was another 24-ft long jumper there too.
  10. It must be true....I saw it on the internet. If it was on Facebook it must be "truer"
  11. The bleeping SOB's. One report I read said there was no plan to reconvene. You Know...I heard there has been a new subgroup of AA formed. It's membership has been limited to the leadership of U. of Michigan and U. Texas and their fans. You have to be an Arrogant A$$hole to get in and they just extended an invitation to join to the leadership of the Big Ten.
  12. The bleeping league is just slow-playing all of us. Delay, Stonewall, We'll Get Back To You Pretty soon it's too late to have a fall season. There will be many problems for winter games...etc
  13. Big Ten response to Nebraska player's lawsuit.... Na na na na, hey hey, goodbye (season) Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, Nebraska bleep off
