This is commercialized college football propaganda. Sadly it’s where we are in this day in age. UCFs undefeated season gives them some cache but Memphis? No! They push their rankings up to sell the game. Sell the advertisers in selling the importance of the game. Just like putting Michigan #9 preseason after they lose 20 seniors last year. They only had 1 returning senior on D this year and of course they dump an 8-4 record. So they put them #9. That allows them to lose a game or two and still be high enough to sell the crap out of Ohio State/Michigan by years end. Start them where they should have been and it’s not “as big” when they need it to be. It’s the cache of the program. Nebraska lost that cache around 2005 and has been searching for it ever since. The good thing is that Michigan regained theirs not because of their play on the field but because of the Harbough hire. I see Nebraska getting a little cache back with SF coming to Lincoln but it be up to the team to maintain it. Conspiracy? Maybe 50 million in TV contracts.......maybe not

Good listening while you eat dinner...

Greetings all! Been lurking for quite some time now and thought it was time to join since you all have been keeping me reletively calm this past week. I’ve been a Husker fan since 80 against Clemson and a fanatic since 83. Went to school with Kosar (yes he was an idiot way back then too and he cost me a ton of $$) and ironically played summer ball with Bo when we were kids (he wasn’t always that way). My Fandom has traveled across the country having spent the middle 90s in Gainesville to the past 15 years in Ann Arbor. Throughout it all I proudly wear the Red. Anyhow I’m excited to rub elbows with you all especially during this momentous time in Husker history. Although I’m not a native, trust me I know What it means to be a Husker! I appreciate all of you for keeping it lite as we sit on pins and needles and a special tip of the hat to you Hedley! You’ve been keeping me off the ledge! It's just a matter of time fellas. Time to restore this program back to where it belongs!
