  1. Is anyone else playing CFB Risk over at /r/CFB?

      Yep. Red Alliance is looking shaky (lots of infighting) just as we reach Florida's territory. :|

  2. It really is, in every way. I went on a campus visit a few years ago, but in the end I couldn't justify a lifetime of student loan debt to study in sundress heaven.
  3. 1) I think the word you're looking for is extortion, and Senior is not doing that either. 2) Senior never cared about Nebraska as a program. The only reason he brought those kids out here was because of Riley. I don't know why you're surprised he's pissed.
  4. Mike Riley trying to control this mess like
  5. Nebraska drops its final game of the regular season, ending the Huskers’ 9-year bowl streak and closing the year with five home losses — an unthinkable fate at a school that once went 14 seasons dropping three home games. Bill Moos makes plans to visit Orlando after the AAC championship. http://footballscoop.com/news/footballscoops-nuclear-winter-3-0/ Florida is mentioned with Mullen.

  7. To be fair, wouldn't that defense wreak havoc on nearly all offenses?
  8. But for him failing to do his job, he would be a slam dunk hire. Lol. Edit: *allegedly* failing
  9. I've already ranted about this elsewhere, so I'll spare you. This OTL report summarizes why the vitriol is being spewed at Alberts: https://www.facebook.com/ObsessedWrestler/videos/408303775958910/?hc_ref=ART6XxiOL8JwKbLPCX1aaOK9Mxzn0M2vpuTwTepNW16X3DX15q0ucV_xqNx0lBG3I-c&pnref=story
  10. Green would have been livid if SE did this without consulting him (assuming SE even had the authority). There's no way he possibly could have thought this would have helped his situation.
  11. Any preference for an offensive-minded guy vs a defensive-minded guy? Or is that irrelevant at this point?
  12. Well, they would have been FCS like South Dakota or South Dakota State. I don't see how they could have made the jump from DII to FBS. I agree with your second point, and really that's what it comes down to. IMO, even if everything went smoothly at UNO, I just don't see how he can be the best guy Nebraska can get for the position. If he is, I think that speaks volumes about where the athletic department is currently sitting. I mean, he's only been an athletic director since 2009, and has he ever made a major football-related decision other than ending the program? Besides being a former Husker, what makes him better than someone with more experience and success at a bigger school that actually has a football program? We're talking about an athletic department that will be approaching $130M/year in revenue with full B1G rights - almost top ten in the country. This is the big leagues, and we should treat it as such.
  13. A couple things: Given the way everyone reacted, they could have raised millions of dollars to save the programs and easily made up the $2M per year gap but Trev wouldn't even give them a shot. The only reason wrestling was a money maker was because it was funded almost exclusively from outside sources. Denney must have been a fundraising machine. I remember hearing that the wrestling program received the same amount of funding from UNO per year the day Coach Denney started as the day Trev axed it; something like $25,000 a year. Peanuts! There were also discussions about how wrestling could have possibly stayed DII, but I don't know the details about that. Trev basically didn't give anyone a chance to work anything out. He claims UNO couldn't afford $7.9M but UNO now pays $8.5M and just raised student fees. (see: http://www.omaha.com/news/education/uno-looks-at-cuts-fee-increases-wage-freezes-to-balance/article_13e7f7a4-196c-5d28-abd3-9e958b2b7d02.html). Granted, part of that is for Baxter, but it still is a bad look. Either the finances at the UNO athletic department aren't great (which makes the decision to go DI in the first place questionable, at least right now) or the finances are fine and the school could have afforded the $7.9M. F&*K Trev. Unrelated, but nice article after Denney won coach of the year for all divisions over Cael Sanderson. Probably a sympathy vote but still. http://intermatwrestle.com/articles/8337
  14. Everyone should read the article below before becoming excited about the prospect of Trev as AD (there was also an excellent ESPN Outside the Lines report that I can't find anymore). It wasn't just the athletic department that was disrespected. I was attending UNO at the time and the student body, along with big-time boosters like Deeb, never received any answers to our questions. He could not have handled the situation with more callousness or indifference. http://www.espn.com/espn/otl/news/story?id=6488960 Beyond that major screwup, I don't see how he can be the most qualified person for this job, and I would be extremely disappointed if he's hired.
  15. The fact that she thinks they'll score 15 points tells me she doesn't. Can anyone guess the last time a team scored 15 points against Nebraska?
