Some of those field goals he made would have been good from 55 yards.

I know!  I’m looking forward to watching him play in the fall!

Michigan's kicker has been so good for so long, if this kid can kick half as good, we will be in very good shape.  I'm excited too!

Position coaches, I believe, but not a head coach. 

Also, why no love for Zach Taylor from Nebraska's media department?

@VectorVictor I don't get that.  Why not be proud and splash that all over the internet just like they would with an NFL player?

If the loss want bad enough it was too Arm Pitt State. 

I know. Blah!

Why would he voluntarily give up $20,000,000?

I don’t think he’s going to leave. I say give him one more year. He will have to make some serious staff and player changes in order to have any chance of keeping his job after next year. 

He isnt going to resign. That would imply he is a "quitter". He will just wait till he is fired. I do think he has sort of lost all hope and in some sense has quit-mentally. 

Did you catch the shove after the whistle was blown?

No. What happened?  Rex just scored! 

AND IT HAPPENED ON THIS PLANET TOO! The power of the Husker Prayer!

GBR! 

And it led to a win.  Hmmmmmm.......

Agree, Lee needs to go out.

I can't remember what game it was, but an announcer was saying  something to the effect. that they couldn't wait until Nebraska was back where it belonged-up in the top 10 again.  They said that when Nebraska football is at its best it helps college football overall.  I agree.  (Moiraine-noble effort!  I like Frostion!   I don't know about anyone else but I enjoy the Canadian sitcom, 'Corner Gas'.  It's about a small town called 'Dog River'.  Anyway, in one of their episodes two of the characters were getting ready to play a trivia game.  One of the characters said, 'Ok, get frosty.'  which meant get ready to play to win.  So to the Big Red I say-GET FROSTY!!!)

@ladyhawke I think the Michigan State-Washington State game was on FOX, so the color commentator would have been Joel Klatt.  I think Klatt is the best analyst announcer in the game.  He's a former Colorado QB under Gary Barnett who knows his stuff.

ColoradoHusk, glad someone else heard that too!  Klatt is good and always seems to have a good word for Nebraska. 

Actually, I would make them #2. If Alabama or Georgia wanted that they maybe shouldn't have lost any games, and either one can still get #1.

The CFP committee has been pretty consistent - UCF didn't play a tough enough schedule and is being penalized for it. I think they have a point but only to a degree.

I don't think it's wholly fair and a system should be in place that would allow a team like UCF to compete for a title. There just should be. That said, should an undefeated team that played the 54th strongest schedule get a spot over say a one loss team with the 6th tough schedule? I think that's dicey.

Yeah, I just feel like they got penalized enough by missing out on the playoffs. Then they played a pretty legit team on New Year's. SEC. Beat both MNC finalists, right? Supposedly they were going to get creamed, finally. And they didn't just show they belonged, they beat Auburn. #2 is the only fitting consolation I think. It doesn't actually mean anything. If other teams feel like they deserved it more maybe they should have avoided losing games. If we all want this to be more clear in the future than don't have a 4 team playoff.

The D was lights out!

Is it true that the woman he was caught with name is Caymen Nebraska?  Or, is that a joke I'm seeing on line?

@BigRedBuster I don't know if that's her legal name, but Cayman Nebraska is her name on her social media and whatnot. Reminds me of the Michael Vick/Ron Mexico thing lol

The players complained about the way they were treated by him. 

Yes they did!  Utah played awesome.

For me that makes Oregon a Pretender. 

Luckily we tied it up so we could show everyone our great execution of set plays.

I was impressed that they didn't give up. Why they passed it to Watson, though, is beyond me!  He choked tonight!

"The Badgers' longtime athletic director, Alvarez is a Nebraska native and former football player for the Huskers."

I didn't know that being born and growing up in Pennsylvania makes you a Nebraska native.

Man is a survivor and  fighter.  Nothing but respect

Oh, ok.  Yes he is. 

I found out that the original poster of that message I shared was commenting on Coach Kill's offensive coaching ability-not on his health. 

Hey Knap. What do you think about this?  You have to admit it is intriguing and oh so creative!  http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/david-whitley/os-sp-ucf-college-football-playoffs-david-whitley-1115-story.html

I think that no matter what UCF does, they'll get left out of the playoff. The Committee will find a reason not to include them, if for no other reason than that it'll kill TV viewership.

I'm sure you're right but their story just pulls at your heart strings. Kinda like the small town team going up against the Goliath team (e.g. Hoosiers). Gotta love their spunk but we want their coach!

I thought those vaccinations wear off when you get older and you have to re-up them, not unlike tetanus vaccinations?

VectorVictor I know now that yes you need a booster. I learned the hard way!!

@ladyhawke  And knowing...well...

A lot of this isn't new. Shady stuff has been going on in that program for awhile. 

Oh ewwwww Cdog923!  I didn't know about that!  (I still think the self reported things listed were like Nebraska and the textbook thing! )

I loathe DA. Hated him ever since went to camp at CU and treated us small town teams like s#!t. POS in my book. Which was weird considering hes from a small town. But a big ego can do that to you.

The only thing I dislike is when a WR is going deep and flops/creates a PI call, instead of trying to catch the ball.  Kenny Bell did that a ton of times, and it did benefit us.  But when he didn't get the call, he blew the chance of trying to catch it.  Lots of receivers do this now, and not only on deep routes.  They hook their arm under the DBs arms.  By the way, Defensive Ends have been doing this technique on offensive tackles for years, to draw a holding call.  I hate it.

@ladyhawke are you talking about after the catch?  If so, it drives me crazy.  A guy catches the ball.  But, instead of running straight up field, he runs to the corner...for what seems like no reason.  I know sometimes a defender might have an angle on him, but so often they don't.

BigRedBuster, that’s EXACTLY what I’m talking about! Makes me crazy!

It’s only going to get worse as fewer people are choosing to enter the ranks at the high school level. I recently heard figures that said the average age of refs in Nebraska at the high school level and above was mid to late 50’s. 

Yeah, I heard that too. Sad.

LES MILES!

Yeah, I had thought of Les Miles too.  Wow.  I wonder if Scott would consider him, considering his son is on the team?  But I suspect that this first year, at least, Scott will use all of his own staff and then go from there.  Exciting times folks!
