  1. Doctor Tom had the right to do what he wanted to do and retire from coaching. He has given enough to Nebraska. I submit that he is the most important person in the history of the state. 

     

    (And I still can't believe he lost the GOP primary to Dave Heinaman.)

  2. Madison newspaper,

    The Badgers set up their future by going back to their past. In the second half, UW asserted its physical dominance along both lines of scrimmage, something that has earmarked the series since it resumed in 2011. That would have been unthinkable during Nebraska's glorious past, but the truth is UW now does to opponents what those 1990s Nebraska teams once did. The Badgers are playing the Cornuskers' game, only they're better at it.

  3. race culture wars doesn't do so first.

     

    NYT starts a war on the NFL over CTE. Story at the link below.

     

    College football is the winner. Nebraska is a leader here. Does Nebraska have the special data gathering helmets. If not, they should.

     

    Just seeing all of the tats on Aaron Hernandez and anyone knew he was nuts. The lawsuit is a loser.

  4. 1. Highest paid AD in the country? I had no idea.

     

    2. Firing Yori was absurd and completely unjustified. She should be hired back.

     

    3. Ten high paid associate AD gives me a new perspective on NOT paying football and basketball players. 

     

    4. Barfy knows his stuff. If it wasn't for the Big Red and the sports writers at the OWH, readership would be cut in half.

    1. Can UNO service the Baxter Arena debt?

     

    2. Is UNO better off with its own arena rather than sharing with hated Creighton?

     

    3. Are hockey crowds better at Baxter?

     

    4. Is basketball better off at Baxter than wherever they were playing before? 

     

    Just asking. You seem knowledgeable.

  6. Doctor Tom had zero head coaching experience when he was hired. He only went on to become one of the greatest all time coaches in college football. 

     

    Below is the Bobfather's record at Wyoming. Not exactly stellar. He got hired because Duffy Daugherty recommended him to the AD. 

     

    Callahan had a great resume. NFL winner and he coached in the Super Bowl.

     

    Way too many here expect a big name and a magic pill to fix things. Not happening. Cornhuskers need to get back to basics and tradition.

    Good god, here we go again.

     

    Turner Gill is NOT the answer, hiring him would be asinine. Neither is Mogila.

     

    Posters like you who believe in thiose guys scare me, you truly do.

     

    Give me some good reasons why Turner is not the answer. He won at Buffalo and is winning at Liberty. Many fans love him. He was a winning player here. 

     

    Mike Riley, Bo and Callahan were certainly not the answers.

  8. Behind the scenes you can bet many Regents are talking to SE.

     

    Hal Daub is running for reelection. His opponent is Barbara Weitz. If Weitz wanted to win, she would make Riley issue number one. But she is just running as a vanity candidate. 

     

    In any event, we don't need UNL to become even more like Carleton College, her alma mater.
