Unbiased, agenda free, factual reporting.

I've said for years that if I ever won the lotto this would be the first thing I'd look at investing in. I think it would be a big moneymaker for someone.

Meh he's not crazy here. I have MSU finishing 2nd behind us and just ahead of NW. I've also got Michigan at 4 possibly even 5 losses.

husker rob, there's a nice one on Abu Lamin's twitter page. The board won't let me post that image extension here though

Most notable change is the logo on the hat. Not sure hiw I feel about it tbh.

Anyone using the 3D model for the student section location is using VERY old information. I believe the way the seats are set up in the video is primarily the women's basketball setup which is different from the men's setup. The primary student section for the women's games will be in the corner of the bowl right behind the visitors bench, overflow student seating is on the opposite side of the court, directly across from the home bench. For Men's games it's entirely different and the student section is MUCH larger. The Student's will have 6 rows of bleacher seating directly behind both team benches on the east side of the arena and the main student section is the entire middle lower section directly behind the south-side hoop. Weather they use bench seating for student section use and then swap the seats in when converting between setups or whether the student sections will just use stadium style seating I do not know. I assume the former though.

Turner, Carnes and Starling?

It took #1 in the SC top 10.

Going 11-2 and finishing in the top 20 at Utah State, of all places, is greatly exceeding expectations at that job. Not to mention he had to build it from the ground up. He never had any of the advantages we have at a place like this. We have higher standards at Nebraska. Winning conference championships is a perfectly reasonable expectation. One that Bo hasn't even met. Winning 9 games is great and all, but it's not like Bo is some special coach doing that, especially when about 7 of those wins are built in. It just means he's better than Bill Callahan. That's not saying much, most coaches are better than Callahan. Sure, he could turn into Dan Hawkins, or he could turn into Urban Meyer. Who knows? Which is why I've said I'd list Bo above Andersen right now. I just don't think the whole list should be discredited because he hasn't coached a BCS team before. It's certainly up for debate, and nothing to get all butthurt over. If it's not so special why don't more coaches win 9 games every year? It can't be too easy if you can count the # of coaches who have done it over the past 5 years on one hand. If it'sso easy why didn't michigan do it last year with a fairly favorable schedule instead of losing to every team that would be considered a tossup game? If it's so easy why didn't the "great" Urban Meyer do it his last year at Florida with a cakewalk nonconference schedule, a bowl game against a weak Penn State team and games against 4 of the bottom 5 teams in the conference instead of losing to a 5-7 Missisppi State team at home during homecoming and get completely blown out in 3 of his other 4 losses? If it's so easy why didn't Nick Saban do it at Alabama in 2007 instead of losing at home to a 6 win Louisiana-Monroe team that got blown out by Tulsa and Troy and needed OT to beat Florida Atlantic? If it's so easy why didn't Bob Stoops do it at Oklahoma in 2009 with multiple high first round picks on the roster instead of going 8-5 with losses to BYU and a Miami team that the week before got anhialated 31-7 by Virginia Tech. (the same Virginia Tech that the week before playing Miami needed a last second miracle to beat Nebraska) If it's so easy why doesn't Texas do it every year with the easist recruiting job in the nation and some very soft nonconference schedules? Know why? Because it's not easy. It's kinda hard to win 9 games every year.

I don't think the problem is the networks as much as that people still view them as factual news organizations and watch one network for all their information because that's what their elders did when they were actually factual news organizations. Ideally you are supposed to understand that these networks are biased to a particlular party slant, You should pick one or two programs from each network and watch both sides to stay informed while keeping their bias in mindto form a balanced opinion for yourself on the issues - factchecking the stories and statements that register most to you on a personal level to make sure you understand the truth of the issues not just the rhetoric. Not enough people do that. Too many people simply pick one network, listen to what that network is telling them with no filter for bias or any real personal research to make sure what they are being told is in fact true and then make all their decisions based on that. This generation of voters has the ability at their disposal to be the most informed generation of voters in the history of the world due to the technology that we are afforded, so the fact that it's probably one of the most uninformed generations in the history of our nation is just sad.

Not till his 6th year if that. Some pretty embarrassing losses to Oklahoma in that time as well. Technically it took Osborne 3 years to win a conference title. However that's kind of unfair. The 1975 conference title was shared with Oklahoma as both Nebraska and Oklahoma went 6-1 in conference that season.. but OU beat NU 35-10. Osborne's 2nd conference title came in 1978. Also a shared title with Oklahoma as both Nebraska and Oklahoma once again went 6-1 in conference that season.. that year NU beat OU 17-14. (but then turned around the next week and at home to unranked Missouri.) To put it in perspective, Nebraska had won 3 conference titles in a row before Osborne took over (1970, 1971, 1972 and shared the title in 1969) and when Osborne took over Nebraska was not even a co-champion for 4 of the next 5 years. (and the one they were again was that 1975 season.) Osborne's first unshared conference championship came in 1981. His 9th year as head coach.

The coach he likes at Charlotte is Orlando Vandross, Vandross is an assistant that used to be at Boston University. He's a very good recruiter on the east coast. With Maryland and Rutgers coming into the league (not to mention potentially schools like Virgina and Carolina) and with a spot on the staff open with the loss of Coleman, why not kill two birds with one stone, hire Vandross away from Charlotte, lock up Atewe and get a good recruiter who can help tap into the Big Ten's new recruiting beds at the same time.

If Nebraska has a "Solich Curse" what does Michigan have? Michigan hasn't won a legit National title since 1948. Who cursed them?

This divisional alignment will cripple the conference. It's guaranteed. You don't build conference strength by putting the top 6 recruiting areas in one division. Nebraska and possibly Wisconsin will be able to recruit Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey etc. to compete with the East, but the 2nd and 3rd tier of the West will continually get weaker while the 2nd and 3rd tier of the east will get stronger leading to inequallity of the talent in the divisions. All the planning they are doing to equalize brand names, rivalries etc. is moot if long term competitive balance is lost. Geographic talent equality NEEDS to be the priority and it seems to be the least important factor in their midset and it's going to be a major downfall here.

I actually don't mind this one. If a kid doesn't want to talk he doesn't have to. But they implemented this rule in basketball and it really seemed to cut down on the garbage with slimeballs that hang around these kids and take advantage of them for their own benefit under the guise of "mentors" and "advisors". The ones they got rid of are the ones that would really have affected recruiting in a very big way.

This has been in the works for a while, the best part about the whole thing is that the dedication would take place on September 6th when the team plays Villanova. What makes that special is that the starting setter for Villanova is Emma Pettit. Terry Pettit's daughter.

So they can use replay to conclusively conclude intent? Pretty sure that's impossible. You can't conclusively determine the intent of another person with 100% accuracy.

How many sand volleyball programs are there? The fact that Nebraska litterally started the program 3 months ago and is a preseason top 10 team nationally already just strikes me as extremely strange and makes me feel really bad for Stanford that we can do that to them.

The Big Ten allows schools to go 3 over the limit in the event of certain circumstances such as career ending injury (and a few others) but the team has to petition the league to allow them to do so. The SEC lets teams oversign and cut virtually at will.

I'm kinda hoping Moglia gets together some friends and heads up a USFL team in Omaha myself. IMO the absolute homerun hire would be Jim Tressel here.

Alabama took the guy we needed to hire in Kevin Steele. Jay Norvell would be a great hire but I don't think he'd want to not be a coach. Tim Albin would be very solid. Ron Zook would be good. Joe Rudolph would be great. Jim Tressel would be a home run. Another option is to move Els to Head recruiter and hire another linebacker coach. Another name that is likely a no go but I'll throw it out anyways is our old pal Marvin Sanders.

These may end up being the best seats in the entire stadium.

Not really rediculous at all as it wouldn't change a thing to throw a flag other than to add unnessesary procedure after the play. Holding isn't a penalty that stops play so they play still would have unfolded as it did. There are only two options that San Francisco would have if the referees throw the flag for holding in that situation 1. decline the holding penalty or 2. accept the holding penalty which results in a safety with the exact clock and circumstances as existed anyways. There still would have been 4 seconds left, the score would have still been the same and the Ravens still would have been doing the free kick. So what would have been the point? I don't think the job of NFL referees is to determine if the team is going to accept or decline a penalty. If they see a foul they are supposed to call it. In nearly every other situation yes. in that specific one it is irrelevant. Besides they weren't calling holding at all in that game period. Not once. Both teams were holding all night long and it was never called once. Baltimore held like crazy on their kick return TD On San Francisco's last drive they ran 9 plays 7 of them had blatant and massive holds that had direct impact on the outcome of the play. None were called. If they weren't going to call the ones that mattered why would they bother to call the one that was completely irrelevant?

Actually the last non kicker to score in a Superbowl that played for Nebraska would be former linebacker Eric Johnson who played for Oakland in 2003. He returned a blocked punt for a score in that game.
