  1. nope, you only have 10 people on Defense. no matter how good they are, playing with only ten will get you beat every time
  2. I just talked to the guy on the phone and the seats are all together in section H (on the goal line) row 35.
  3. On Craigslist today there are 4 tickets in section H available for $1100. Here is the actual ad from Craigslist 4 tickets in Section H with seatbacks. Cash only. Call 608-343-5336. Location: Tomah it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests PostingID: 2605332414 if anyone is interested. they are not my tickets, I just happen to be looking for tix and I checked craigslist. I live in the town that they are available in (Tomah, WI) but I cant afford that price.
  4. new season ticket holders pay about $240 per ticket and a "priority seating" fee of up to $500 per seat. Wyoming Ticket office values the NE ticket at $75 and the rest of home games were $35
  5. Dr Tom's comments concerning Darin in an article last week from the LJS. "I think he's got to decide whether he's interested in being a full-time coach, or does he want to be a little peripheral and be more involved with his family," Osborne said. "He's thinking it through right now. I would like to see Darin stay involved with the program in some fashion. ... I would imagine if he wants to, there'll be some involvement." those comments can be taken alot of different ways.
  6. Players already get stipends on top of their scholarships if I'm not mistaken. I don't know too many student athletes that are having problems making ends meet while in school. Their families may be a different story though. Some families rely on their children to pitch in during and after high school to make ends meet. I think the majority of supporters feel that schools make a lot of money of the backs of young student athletes and that they need to be compensated more than they currently are. Although it is a good theory and would likely be well received by larger universities, and obviously the athletes themselves, smaller universities will find it difficult to financially compete even if it's properly regulated. If it does come to fruition, they are going to need to create significant amount of guidelines and regulations. I would much prefer to give back to the student athletes by sinking the money into better facilities and equipment (much like Nebraska has/is doing). Players do NOT get stipends. They did 20 years ago, they don't now. A "Full-Ride" college scholarship covers Tuition, Books, University Fees and the cost of a dorm room. THAT'S IT. That scholarship doesn't cover parking, gas, laundry, insurance, car payments, groceries and daily essentials, entertainment etc. It also doesn't cover extra rent you would have to pay if you live outside a dorm (many older players are married and can't live in dorms for example and others join a greek house, many of which have rent/member fees associated with them) and it doesn't even cover a lot of extra course and lab fees that many classes require. Even on a "Full-Ride" scholarship it costs somewhere between $2,000 and $3,000 a year out of your own pocket to be a student-athlete at a major university.. and that's living fairly meagerly. And unlike their academic scholarship brethren who get the same monetary benefits but don't bring in anywhere close to the notoriety or money to the university that the athletic scholarship students do, the student-athletes have to do all of that without having a job because according to coaches, their sport is supposed to be their job. Full ride scholorships should not cover things that are personal choices. No car???? no car payment, no insurance, no gas, no parking fees. If a player chooses to live off campus they get the cost of a dorm room already, why pay them more money for that choice. Dont want to sound like a dick, but how many spouses have worked to pay for the others college. I bet that scholarship athletes eat better at the training table than any other student does. What other benefit does a scholarship athlete get??? They get the opportunity to leave college with a degree and be debt free (no student loans). if they choose to have all of the "nice to have" not "need to have" what is stopping them from taking out student loans? is there a NCAA Rule that says a full scholarship athlete cannot take out a student loan?
  7. Why is Erstadt not the answer? Lack of Head Coaching experience? If T.O. decides to hire Erstadt, I would not lose any sleep. I am not saying he is the answer, just curious why some think he is not.
  8. Bob, Are you coming up to Wisconsin for the NU game? Are you bringing your camper and going to tailgate? I live in Tomah WI (about 90 miles from Madison)and depending on the direction you come into WI, you will drive right by the house. Rob
  9. Nebraska Fans travel well, we all know that. We turn the opposing schools stadium RED. What are we going to do to show our strength at Wisconsin. We will not be able to turn it RED because their colors are the same as ours. maybe this is the ONLY time for the dreaded word (b*******) in order to show the badgers our strength. What are everyones ideas?

  12. until Bubba signs on the dotted line, NU still has a chance for him, but i dont think he will be wearing a husker uniform come August 16. $6 Mil signing bonus - $600K commission to agent (10%) - $1.8 Mil Tax (30%) ____________________ = $3.4 Mil still a lot of money though
