While I know ND has been playing Stanford annually for a while, just not seeing the financial draw. Struggle to see ND reducing everyone's future payout (compared to what other programs could bring) just so Stanford can join.

Couldnt care less about the Arizona schools. I'm referencing LA road trips.

Great news for those of us in Phoenix!

I'd be more apt to purchase these guys' apparel if it had some cool saying, maybe a play off their name like DeColdest could, and some type of mention of dear old NU. No one outside of a few NU fans would ever know what the logo represents.

I have no idea how much an NU collective needs to allot for the team to put them in the top tier. However, before I get fully turned off by what used to be "college" football, I would like NU to go full bore into pay-for-play so I can have one last ego boost from the team being on/near top.

Vent coming. Feel free to move on... As someone who's had a tattoo of Herbie for over 30 years this does kinda piss me off. Not so much at UNL, I get the stance they have to take though decisions like this contribute to this problem, but that an extremely minute group of people (or just internet trolls?) so easily sway the rest of society into associating a minor gesture with something 99.9+% of society finds abhorrent and likely knows that in 99.9+% of cases the gesture has nothing to do with that abhorrent activity or thought. Now I run the minute risk of some d-bag starting in on me cuz he/she wants to associate "okay" Herbie with racism simply because of few jackoffs, and "media" freely associates the gesture with these few jackoffs. Hate it when I get triggered by this kinda crap!

Unsure if I want a golden ticket to this place or not.

Went with Cristobal for #1 and #2. He'll likely be given the longest leash and he IS their culture (I know it hasn't worked out for NU). Chose Venables for #3. Don't really know if he'll be a successful HC, and of the list of schools, OU currently has the highest expectations based on 20 years of consistent top-10 success.

Hoping this fuels the fire in Joseph and isn't 'disappointed' to be at NU instead of being able to stay in LA.

Unless Frost takes on ST himself, he'll essentially be the 5th offense coach.

With all respect, wouldn't mind terribly if he left for a good opportunity. While his D performed admirably, I'm not sold on the bend don't break scheme, especially when paired with Frosts O scheme.

I have hope for Frosts tenure, but no faith.

Same crap, different QB. Didn't see Smothers do anything good or bad that I haven't seen from Martinez.

We get better and better

Wow! Thats some level of hyperbole. The vast majority of his glaring poor decisions, passes, or turnovers aren't on him, huh? Its mostly coaching and supporting cast failures? Perhaps you'll be proven correct based on which round he's drafted.

Perfect! Hopefully he won't be competing against seemingly half the FBS for new coach like he would be this year.

Looked like a Pelini D out there today.

Sounds like he essentially got a Harbaugh-like deal.

Very good. Must've been thinking of receiver Miles Austin. Meant Greg Austin.

Kinda of like the other comments, voted that Frost will be back though he hasn't earned it. This likely means Martinez will be back. Did vote that Verduzco and Miles will be let go.

I get fans wanting/hoping that staff changes are made. I dont understand the thought that the AD or higher up should demand these changes. Shouldnt it be the HC's job to make those decisions? I mean, if the AD or President needs to make those decisions, why hire a HC?

Exactly! And this is where I get tired of hearing about "luck", "karma", or whatever boogeyman some fans think is causing the lack of success.

It did. They were quality coaches and not 'yes' men.

While I dont necessarily disagree with your premise, but if he would've had the level of success we all hoped he'd have (regardless of support), he would've left NU with a vapor trail upon receiving an SEC or similar big-time head-coaching offer.

just kidding
