Like, hell no. Without another job, that would be the dumbest move he could probably make. With his recent shenanigans, I doubt there would be many suitors out there.

They certainly should be. Seems like a light went on for Valentine over the last few games. Did the light go on or did he finally get an opportunity to play once Bo was forced to take Thad off the field due to an injury. VV could have been doing this all season but our coaches have played a severely less talented, less effective senior in VV's place. Thad played 65 snaps on defense against Minnesota. VV played fewer than 5, 2 of which were on special teams. Valentine's been out there, but hadn't really made an impact. If i recall correctly, I read or heard a coach talk about things had started to click for Valentine.

Imagine that, huh? There is a reason folks like that are who they are.. They learn to evaluate the whole picture and not just what happens on the field.

With Huskernation being as divided as it is right now, not making a decision is probably best. You're sort of only adding fuel to the fire. It seems that he's willing to wait it out to see if Pelini either figures it out or hangs himself. In either case, the decision would be simple and most likely have a lot of support. Don't make a bad situation worse by making a rash decision. I don't know that changing things right this minute would really matter too much in the long run.

Rivalries are built, not assigned. However, you have to start somewhere. We'll see if this matchup turns into a rivalry or not. Putting artificial rules around it, like OP is proposing, is kind of silly.

11. Give Pelini some more rope to make it simple for Eichorst.

uh.wat? Who is winning in the Big 10 with only a running game? Read your post again. .You said get away from the passing game, then said you can't win without one. Which is it?

From what I understand, and this is from talks with a family member who worked for the athletic department as a summer intern and the dreaded alumni outreach cold call job haha, the administration pretty much knows by June which games are sold out and which ones still have a few left. Makes sense! Thanks for the info.

uh.wat?

I can't understand why it seems we have to start over on defense most years. Suck at the beginning, start playing better towards the end. I understand people come into and leave the program but a good staff and program should be able to keep play at a more or less consistent level year to year.

I'm waiting for the stuff to hit the fan in a few years at OSU, where Urban will have "health problems" again and take a job that in some ways in equally as demanding. Then he'll inexplicably come back again. Stuff just doesn't add up with him sometimes.

I have no idea what complicated web of sales keeps the sellout streak alive today. Is there actually a third party that would know if games weren't sold out? I mean, the U could continue to say they're sold out of tickets. They're our only source of information, from what I understand. Not saying they'd be deceitful, but I am saying that it's hard to know if they're sold out. really. If actual attendance starts to drop to some level where it matters, they'll do something. You have to hit them where it hurts if you want to have an impact.

They certainly should be. Seems like a light went on for Valentine over the last few games.

Everyone has to deal with dumb questions and dumb people. Doesn't mean you have to act like he does. Be an adult and in control of yourself. Something that he often does not excel at.

This is probably the most interesting speculation I've read so far. Makes some sense when you think about the situation where both parties, we'll at least one party, is digging in their heels so to speak.

Man, all these negative nancy's sure do come out of the woodworks. It's hilarious This. its what i love about husker football. Young defense is about mistakes and nu wasn't short of them today. Most of these guys went to prom 6 months ago.. god bless the internet

But....But.... BLACK! MATTE! Alternate! Uh....uh.... Recruits like it! Yeah that's it! It'll be sweeeeeet! Words! They actually do. I was talking to a 4-star LB down in KC a couple weeks ago and I specifically asked him about this alternate uniform stuff. He said he, personally, couldn't care less, but he knows a ton of guys being recruited right now who really care. It helps them make a decision on a school. Weird. That blows my mind. They're not looking at the big picture if a uniform for one game is a linchpin in their decision

What has NU done to deserve any respect lately? Lose championship games? Notre Dame @ Purdue? or Nebraska/UCLA which could very well be a critical top 15 matchup for both teams? Not disagreeing with your perspective for it is spot on. But in this case, becoming second fiddle to ND/Purdue (no, not Michigan, not Michigan St, not even Boston College or Oklahoma-frickin Purdue) is absolute hilarity. I agree it does suck, but it is what it is.

What has NU Notre Dame done to deserve any respect lately? Lose championship games? FIFY Like I said, Notre Dame is it's own deal man. You can fight it all you want but Notre Dame is going to get shoved down your throat every week. That's just the way it is. Nebraska has to win to get that kind of coverage as where it's typically handed to Notre Dame. Period, end of story.

Because NU UCLA isn't terribly interesting to most of the country. Win a championship and that will change. Didn't you know, ADS, Notre Dame and Purdue have been racking up championships lately?!? Notre Dame is it's own deal, man. They'll always get a ton of prime time. Just because they're the golden domers.

Because NU UCLA isn't terribly interesting to most of the country. Win a championship and that will change. I understand that, but I just wanted to voice my frustration. No doubt it does suck!

Yea, I think they are matte.

You can't be the only one. HB has been overrun before with folks clamoring for a black jersey. Now they're going to be asking why the pants aren't black.
