I typically think of Spring Break when I think of Daytona. Not much of a racing fan.

Ah. Racing. Gotcha.

What's the Daytona Duel?

I think Bo knows best when it comes to scheme. Also the way our DL plays is what lets our coverage scheme be what it is, and Bo's coverage schemes are pretty much the best in the business. I think it is more of a matter of getting the right players in. And maybe lacking the right players, you should scrap everything and do something totally different, but generally, I think when you have a sound system, you develop for that system and make adjustments, minor, only when you have to. I agree that the DL had issues and that it all starts up front...although I also have to say, our secondary was really green last year, and they weren't very good. Big difference without guys like Haggs, Gomes. I would generally agree with you that Bo knows best, but the evidence over the last couple of years is all to the contrary. The myth of Bo's "Defensive Genius" status took a severe hit in my eyes over the last two years. Geniuses don't let their self-built defenses collapse like that.

Balderdash. It's a simple case of a false report being discussed. You're the one who made this into a big deal. All you had to do was give a mea culpa and this would have gone away. I have posted a mea culpa on the article source, but the bias against anything anti-Israeli is there. And you are one of the leaders of that camp. You're mistaking a detestation for misinformation for a pro-Israeli stance. And your mea culpa came well after you blew up. One reaction was necessary, one wasn't. You chose the latter first. Unfortunately.

1890. There's a really good explanation for why Idaho looks like it's being leaned on by Montana in the History Channel show "How The States Got Their Shapes."

There was a picture going around the webz a while back showing some 40-ish women at a Justin Bieber concert or something, and they were going all crazy about him. That would NOT be OK at a (insert name of teenage female singer) concert if these were 40-ish guys.

I put pickle juice in my Bloody Marys. One of the bartenders at WC's taught me that.

So... the 2014 FAU game is going to be fun. Bo vs. Carl - the Battle of the Pelinis. Carl will have had a couple of recruiting classes to get "his guys" in there, and we'll see what kind of fight they put up. I also wonder if Carl is going to keep up the traditional first-game bonfire:

@Huskers #Huskers have also added home games vs. Florida Atlantic (8/30/2014), BYU (9/5/2015), and South Alabama (9/12/2015 and 8/31/2019).

Yes I am. So are you lumping FCS with the actual D2 then? Click Me

There are two A's. Therefore D2. I refuse to not call FCS D2. You'll have to pursue action in a court of law to stop me.

Idaho State is a D2 team who went 2-9 last year playing against the 125th-rated SOS. They lost 64-21 against Washington State last year in their only game against D1 opposition. EDIT - my bad. Missed BYU on their schedule last year. They lost 56-3.

You don't know that. Only way you do is if you are Osborne, which you aren't. While it is "unlikely" that he has made that ultimatum, it really can't be proven. All I know is that one of the basketball student managers said last Thursday that Doc felt comfortable that he was coming back next year and was acting like he is. Although, he really HAS to act like he is just in case he is. I am, in fact, Tom Osborne. Nice to meet you. Well then quit messing around and fire our massively incompetent basketball coach. Be patient with me! It's my birthday!

As did Iowa, two years in a row. And we just hired their D-Line coach. Coincidence..... or more?

Looks like there may be more to this story, as in, the accident may have been Bo's fault. Article forthcoming... EDIT - Nevermind. This has nothing to do with this accident. It's about a traffic ticket Bo got back in August. Nothing to see here, folks.

Today is Dr. Tom's 75th birthday. Happy Birthday, Dr. Tom!

Sub, you're looking for a fight where there is none. I'm very simply pointing out to you that Netanyahu didn't say what the site you posted said he said. You implied our media were hypocrites for not covering this story. I explained that there was hypocrisy, but it was on the part of the site you sourced for intentionally (or errantly, which is just as bad for journalists) misrepresenting who posted what on Netanyahu's page. I gave a very apt example of a message board. It is not out of bounds to question your understanding of the way Facebook works, since you are exhibiting a misunderstanding of it by stating that Netanyahu is allowing others to "post in his name." That is a fundamental, and very unnecessary, misunderstanding of how Facebook works. You're welcome to your rant, but you should be ranting at yourself, not me. I'm just pointing out where you're mistaken.

You're right, CF, it's not an abortion question. I just copypasta'd the headline. I fixed the thread title.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through this: It's a pretty good read, but Scott's prose is overly verbose. He could pare things down and make a far better read. But it's entertaining, nonetheless.

I don't think RvW is ever going to be overturned.

Absolutely agree, Chris. Scheme is the glaring factor there, despite the dropoff in talent. Teams with far worse talent than we fielded last year had far better stats. So what if your opponent breaks off the odd 20-yard run? Mobile QBs do that, and you can't spend all your energy praying they don't run on you. You have to get in their face, put constant pressure on them, and make them make decisions. Our scheme is soft, and opposing QBs are far too often far too comfortable against us. This is also a major factor in our plummet in turnovers gained, from 21st in 2009 to 49th in 2010 down to 91st in 2011. Without pressure on the QB you don't get interceptions, you don't force mistakes, and in general you don't stress your opponent.
