I'm sure that most teams in the NFL have some sort of 'bounty program'.

He might be able to get down to 205 but he isn't going to beat anybody in that division. He is so slow at HW and moving down to LHW facing all the fast guys in that division would be a nightmare for Big Country.

Baseball adding another wild card team this season.

Yes, it's very annoying that MLB is adding teams to the postseason. It was fine the way it was. Why mess with it. And they are only playing one game. Just makes no sense.

According to this article, next years game against Southern Miss might be played in the Superdome:

Once again, I just don't understand how the Pac-12 were able to get such a huge TV contract from ESPN and Fox. Just doesn't make any sense at all. And what's scary is just how much the B1G and SEC are going to get in their next rounds of contract renewals. Our TV bills are skyrocketing and not going to get any lower with all these outrageous TV networks are dealing out for sports programming. Something needs to change. Sorry for the rant.

Huge baseball fan here. Texas Rangers fan! I also do find myself rooting for KC anytime they aren't playing the Rangers.

Neinas was never meant to remain commissioner for a long period of time. He was brought in to do the job right after Beebe left as a temporary solution for the time being. This was expected.

Here is BTN's complete baseball schedule:

Nebraska is set to appear only 4 times on the network. Really stinks. Was really hoping for a lot more televised games.

Believe I read where each school gets an average of 5 to 8 baseball games on BTN each season. Seems rather low. Hopefully that changes this year.

GBR!!!

Can't wait for the season to start. Hopefully we will get to see more games on TV with BTN this season. Not sure how many baseball games they broadcast but I know they broadcast some.

GBR!!!

Happy birthday!

I honestly don't see how any one could dislike any of those coaches. None seem like bad guys. Especially Bielema.

As long as we can both agree that Whitlock is a twit regardless of whether the statement was racist or not, I think that's the important thing.

I can agree with that.

It is his right to say whatever stupid thing he wants. But that doesn't mean there aren't repercussions for saying anything he wants. Nor does it mean he can't be fired for saying such things (he can).

 

Pretending it's not racist is silly. Let's not pretend. Just because it's racist doesn't mean it's the end of the world. It just means that Whitlock is ignorant. But we already knew that.

 

 

It's not racist. It was a joke and a funny one. So if he was a black guy and said some lady is going to feel ten inches of pain tonight would that be racist? Um, no!

 

Yes. It would. Your failure to grasp that doesn't make it not racist.

Then I guess that we will just have to agree to disagree.

This is clear racism; no if's, and's or but's. If I were his employer, this would be immediate grounds for termination.

 

 

And no, it's not racism. If anything, it's just a stereotype. How do you conclude racism with that comment? He didn't say anything bad about his race. Enough already.

 

It's a stereotype about his race, hence it's racist.

If you actually believe that is racist then something is wrong. That isn't racist and even if he does say something racist who cares? It's his right to say whatever he wants. Enough already with this PC garbage. He was making a joke, one that I thought was pretty damn funny. Everybody just needs to relax.

Ugh, I can't believe he apologized for the tweet. It's a little something called Free Speech. Who cares what he said. It was a joke!!!! Enough already with this politically correct country. It's so annoying. And no, he should not be fired for tweeting that comment. What is wrong with all of you???

I would prefer at least an eight team playoff. Ideally, sixteen team playoff would be great. But a four team playoff is a good start. Hopefully something happens.

I guess they need to figure out if Diaz was serious about being done with MMA. You think he would take the rematch since he thought he won.

Most likely it's a failed drug test that is preventing him from fighting Condit again, not him not wanting a rematch.

Call the Nebraska ticket office and ask them when tickets will be available. You might get lucky and be able to get them through the University. Most likely they will all go to season ticket holders and athletic donors but if they don't purchase all the tickets then you will be able to purchase the remaining.

Thanks a bunch!

While I think it would be a tragedy to ditch the bowl system, I really want a small playoff. So I say keep the bowls for teams that don't make the playoffs. One more thing: 16 teams is TOO BIG! If you have a 16-team playoff, this year would have allowed at least three 3-loss teams into the playoffs. That's not right.

 

I would be a supporter of a 6-team or an 8-team playoff. IMO, 8-team is perfect. You use the 6 AQ conferences that we have today, and the champion of each conference makes the playoffs automatically, as long as they are in the top 15 of the BCS standings. Then with the remaining spots, you take the next 3 highest ranked teams from the BCS that haven't already qualified. So this year's 1st round of the playoffs would have looked like this:

 

1 LSU vs. 8 Clemson

2 Bama vs. 7 Wisconsin

3 OkSt vs. 6 Arkansas

4 Stanford vs. 5 Oregon

 

You've got the champions of the SEC, B1G, ACC, Big12, and Pac12. WVU gets booted because they didn't make the top 15 in the final BCS. Then the next 3 teams to make it are Bama, Stanford, and Arkansas. THIS to me (and I would hope most fans) would be extremely attractive to watch.

 

I thought about playing all at neutral sites, but fans don't have that much money to be able to travel to those games, so you would have to have the higher seed get the home game, and then the National Championship game would be at a neutral site.

I prefer a 16 team playoff but I could live with an eight team playoff. And the only game that should be played at a neutral site is the championship game, as you indicated. I get tired of hearing people want to have a playoff but use the bowl games as sites to play. That just makes no sense at all. Fans of the teams can't travel to all the games. And, which I don't understand is wrong with the conference commissioners and university presidents, a lot more money is to be made having a playoff system than the current bowl system. If anybody disagrees with that or doesn't want a playoff system then go read Death to the BCS. It will change your attitude to the entire bowl system, which stinks. Enough with bowl games, and the BCS. A playoff is the way to go.
