GSG

Would be nice to know how he's recovering. Does anyone follow him on Twitter or Facebook? Maybe he's mentioned something on there.

@ 1:02 - Nice butt shot Some dude in Arkansas wtf?? And a crazy dude in his cabin! USA! USA! USA!

Why would he do that? He's barely 6' standing on concrete in cleats, and he's a zone read QB. And the supplemental draft? Is he striving for the lower end of mediocrity? Yeah, I'm not sure what he was thinking. At least if he transfered, he could finish up a degree of some sort.

Yeah, I'm not certain about games. During the press conference when Delaney announced that the Big Ten had accepted Nebraska, he said the BTN would start showing Nebraska "programming" this year to get Big Ten fans familiar with our school and teams. I'm not sure what that all entails.

Looks like the Italians are out too

Thats very interesting and if true could make the light heavyweight even a tougher weight class. All and all I rooted for Brock until UFC 100 but time will till if Brock learned from that and will win me back Also with the Leban taken Wanderlai's place thats freakin crazy because he just fought this past Saturday and will only have less than 2 weeks to prepare for this fight. I hope Wanderlai fights because I like watching his fights and his fighting style. Good discussion GSG5545 Right on brother! MMA is quickly becoming my second favorite sport to watch behind football, so I'm always down for MMA talk!

Someone on here yesterday (bulletbait maybe) said we were #3 behing #1 Texas and #2 LSU.

Maybe he is factoring in the loss of Suh a little too much

OMG. I noticed that spot on his back too, but I hadn't heard anything about it till today. That's pretty gross.

I won't disagree that Lesnar's record is any more impressive. It's definitely not any less either. I still think they gave him a title shot WAY too early. I'm interested in seeing if the cage can handle that much meat being thrown up against the fence. Interesting that you mentioned Couture and his weight class bouncing. I honestly think they're going to have to make another division between Light Heavy and Heavyweight. 60 pounds is too big of difference. Some guys have too big of a frame to cut to 205 and be effective, but are still to small to compete with huge guys like a Lesnar or Carwin. Frank Mir even said he was thinking about dropping to Light Heavy because he can't compete with those big heavyweight guys.

Also, on a semi-unrelated note, if you want to see some crazy sh!t talking, check out Chael Sonnen's Twitter account. He must be smoking some good stuff to come up with that nonsense. That said, I hope he pounds Anderson Silva into spider dust.

That's pretty sweet! I didn't know he did that.

Way too low. Ubben has been giving NU the cold shoulder since we announced our move. I can't blame him, we almost cost him his job!

I see what you're saying, but all those little things like that add to the hype. Even people who don't watch or don't like MMA are talking about the fight. Things like that are only going to add to PPV buys. I even had a guy from work today ask me about Lesnar. He only remembered him from WWE and thought he was a dick and made a mistake by leaving the WWE for less money (I don't know where he got that info). As far as the post-fight antics after Brock beat Mir, I don't know. If someone had been talking that much crap about me and then I beat his face in, I'd go tell him about it too. The Bud Light and flipping off the crowd thing was a bit much, but adrenaline does crazy stuff to some people, especially crazy people. And about Shane's record, I'm not really impressed. He's had 2 good KO's against upper-tier guys, but the rest are pretty questionable. 7 are from small, local promotions against guys no one knew, knows now, or will ever remember. Sherman Pendergarst? That guy has a terrible record and has gone 1-9 since he fought Carwin. Shane's first 2 UFC wins were over a guy on the brink of retirement (only 1 more fight after Carwin) and a guy who looked like Butterbean's mini-me and his only UFC fight was against Shane and then he was released. All of that said, I'm really stoked for this fight. I don't think Shane is going to get a KO in the first round, and neither will Brock. I'm betting it turns into somewhat of a wrestling match that is long overdue from their college days. (Side note: I saw that Chris Leben might be replacing Wanderlei (rib injury) for the card. Leben just fought on the TUF Finale against Aaron Simpson. The Nevada State Athletic Commission apparently cleared him to fight since he didn't sustain much damage. Crazy if you ask me.)

Yahoo! Link There's a video with that link too. I don't think Brock was making fun of Carwin, really. The interim title is just that: interim. Brock is technically the true champion right now. And the part about Carwin only being a "weekend warrior" is true too. If Carwin keeps his job and only trains part time, it'll catch up with him eventually. I think Brock only acts like a schmuck when he thinks it's necessary. Before his last fight, Mir was talking a lot of trash, that would piss me off too. If Brock says anything bad about Carwin, it's only to sell tickets. Brock knows how to promote fights, the guy promoted pretend fighting for years. A fight will sell better if there is a good guy and a bad guy, versus a fight between 2 good guys. I read an article about Brock last year before he fought Mir. He spends almost all of his time training, with his family, or working on his farm out in the boonies of Minnesota/North Dakota.

I might be going to Vegas next week. My buddy wants to try to get in to the UFC fights. I'm guessing the best we'll end up with is nose bleed seats, but whatev. Has anyone ever gone? Can you actually see anything from up there?

My local cable provide (Charter) doesn't have it. I clicked the request button, but the drop-down list doesn't let me choose to say I'm a fan of Nebraska.

Jamal Turner doesn't seem to think it will hurt out Texas recruiting as long as we keep winning. Wins = more tv time = more kids wanting to play for you.

Laugh all you want, but look at all the Big Ten fans coming to the board asking for info about the program, traditions, etc etc. This isn't the 90s anymore, most people know the name and the colors and not much else.

Delaney said they are planning on showing some Husker related programming on the BTN to help get the NU name out to the rest of the conference this year.

How many of y'all had US winning the group?
