Texass will never join a conference that it could not bully to get their own way.  They will never give up Longwhorn Network. They do not fit into the social norms of the Big Ten (reaching consensus for conference decisions)

Would the owners/coaches see the players stats only with no idea who the player was?

Also, does anyone use Flaviar?  That's where I've been getting most of my bottles.  And they can get their hands on some of the brands mentioned in this thread that you'd normally have to cross a border to get.  

Shipped alcohol restrictions:

Kansas "Cannot exceed 12 standard cases of wine of one brand or a combination of brands into this state to any one consumer or address per calendar year"

Nebraska "               "

This looks pretty good, except the names of central and north. Wisconsin and Minnesota are north of Michigan/Michigan State, and Iowa/Illinois are north of Purdue/Indiana. I know it doesn't really matter that much but I wouldn't mind some of the pods having non-direction names, like the Plains Pod or the Great Lakes Pod or something.

So the East can be the Amish pod?

What did your mom tell you about strangers and the internet?

I don't do Air BnB, Uber, etc because of all this.

I think I remember Jurgens and Frost kind of bonding over this.  Their mothers were both excellent throwers.  Heck, Jurgens and Frost were both darn good throwers too.

But was Cam's mother also the HS team's DC when he played?

I like having Nebraska and Northwestern play ever year. The winner gets to claim the NU acronym until next season.

Northwestern - NU

Nebraska - N

or better yet - N

or best 

No love for special teams?

I"m actually heading to the bar in Pickrell (a small town north of Beatrice that Jurgens is actually from) tomorrow after work.  I will ask my sources there what's going on. Best I do it right away because the bar there is cheap and the drinks are strong.

ROAD TRIP!

Are you sure? I saw a shop selling CBD by Honest Abe's on 27th in Lincoln. I'm not drawing a comparison between what they sell and weed but it seems at least some oil or edibles are probably legal there. And yeah, it surprised me to see that in Nebraska.

CBD oil is just diet weed

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2017/01/29/why-so-many-college-students-decide-to-transfer/

 

This article says roughly 38% of students transfer at least once, 45% of those transferring more than once during their college education.

 

https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2018/5/14/17329390/ncaa-transfer-rule-changes-2018

 

This article says football players on the FBS level transfer at about a 13% clip

Thanks

I wonder how the percent transfer from one college to another looks like comparing the general student body vs student athletes?

I would research it myself, but I had close to 7000 emails in my work inbox (now 4000) that I am culling out.

Who were UCF's great and experienced RBs, receivers and OL from their 6-7 2016 season? You can't make this point at all without talking about that. You haven't given evidence that UCF looked better prepared before the 2017 season than Nebraska does now.

 

They had no one returning from the top 100 rushers list and Tre'Quan Smith was #84 nationally for WRs (Spielman was #32 last season). Their top RB that year was Killins, a SO, and Otis Andersen a true freshmen. Their top 3 receivers were a Jr, So, Sr, the next 3 were all true freshmen. I'm looking at their 2017 roster right now and they only have 1 senior OL listed. They weren't a group of experienced veterans that were stars the previous year.

 

I"m sure there are many reasons to question whether Nebraska's going to have a good season, but this comparison doesn't work if you aren't saying anything about how good UCF's players were.

This is a walk off home run, right here.

The Big Ten keeps its headquarters in Chicago, as it's the largest city in Big Ten country and resides somewhat in the heart of the conference

I thought that the reason the Big Ten invited Rutgers was to get the New York City TV market.  NYC is bigger than Chicago

I was surprised at some of the prices posted. Maybe I’m not a big enough fan or don’t make enough $ but my instinct tells me prices will go down.

Remember Frost's first spring game?

I watched a lot of Aussie Rules football in the 80s because that was on on ESPN at that time.

OOOhhhh the player from Sydney takes off the head of a Melbourne defender.  And the ref says "play on" no foul

How many here have had a concussion?  I've had five that I know of.  No long term lingering effects, I'm 40, but they messed me up pretty good at the time.  

I had one major concussion when I was in 5th or 6th grade.  Sledding down the hill at Lincoln SE - came to I was in the hospital. Out for like 45 to 60 minutes.

No ill effects and that was 50 years ago
