  1. Any interest in a 32 team dynasty fantasy league? Let me know and I'll get you the link! - No defense!

  3. Bama just locked themselves into the playoff. Congrats for not winning the division. AGAIN, and being allowed a shot at the natty. 

     

    I freaking hate college football post season.

      If there's one thing I don't like about the playoff is that it has essentially made a game like this meaningless. Both of these teams will make it and Alabama will probably win, because the first game loser almost always seems to win the rematch in these situations.

      The thing is. I’d be fine with it if they put some requirements with how it’s only 4 teams.

       

      like you HAVE TO at least be a division winner. Although I’d like for it to be limited to conference champion. Regardless if that champion is 10-3 or not. 
       

      The committee has devalued certain conferences and I don’t think that’s right. 

    3. CheeseHusker

      It just makes me nuts that they get a second chance seemingly every year. Part of it I will admit is personal jealously. Our 1982 and 1983 squads didn't get second chances. All those teams that lost to Oklahoma in the final seconds never got second chances. I think Osborne woulda won five or six titles with this format, but I digress....

       

  4. Depressing fact. When Nick Saban leaves Alabama. Dabo will take over (look at his buyout clause with Bama)...Can Alabama just die off for a few years. The only coach players want to play for more than Saban is Swinney....till Frost is more established. :D

      I dunno, I’m pretty excited baseball is back. I’ve been a mariners fan since when they only sucked, and still a mariners fan since when they didn’t suck... I’m pumping sunshine through my veins before I become a bitter fan again when they go 17 straight post seasons without an appearance. 

    3. NoLongerN

      NoLongerN

      Dilly Dilly!!  Baseball would be a blast if they could get it down to 100 games or so.  The quality of pitching would go up a bit as well along with less injuries and longer careers.  They should also make less ... a lot less.  That is true for all sports however.  Example, a million dollars for a game in football is just crazy.  I don't care if you are an injury away ... it's still crazy to me.

    4. Savage Husker

      Savage Husker

      My idea I think about is to limit the season by 15-20 games and add enough double headers to squeeze the regular season down. The final weekend of regular season baseball is over on Labor Day. First and second round of playoffs are 5-game series matchups. Wrap-up a 7-game World Series around the first week of October, when it’s not terribly cold. 

  11. I turned down an opportunity to interview for my "dream" job today for the betterment of my wife. I'm in a weird state of mind tonight. One of the harder things I've ever had to do.

      With our head coach getting fired or leaving at the end of the season this doesn't surprise me. Hopefully whomever comes in can add a few players very quickly.

      The noose is tightening around Rileys throat and the kids know this and the media knows this, why would they stick around if they want to play for the coach and not the school.  We all know it and i'm sure Riley even knows it, I don't think his guys have even been out recruiting really anything since the day SE got canned as they saw the writing on the wall.

      Not sure why the punter thought it was a good idea to kick the ball that high. Low line drive kick is what he needs to do.

      This is an entertaining game. Sadly, I’ve really enjoyed every single cfb game I’ve watched this season, except for Nebraska games. Why are we soooo bad? I haven’t seen one team we belong on the same field with.

  16. 59% winning percentage since TO left? thats not right its around 65%

      @Coach Power'T   IF (and it is an outrageous "if") your post about winning out happens, I think I would be happy to keep Riley.  Even though his style isn't anything to get excited about, that accomplishment would show a lot of how he can pull a team together and save them from collapse.  I don't want to see it used as an excuse, but this is a pretty young team.  And if they finish 8-4 with a finish like your post describes, I'd be pretty excited for next year.

    4. Redux

      Redux

      If the impossible halpens and they finish 8-4, Riley still gets replaced.  But, if he manages to stay another year, I promise you Nebraska plays a different style of offense in 2019.  So either way, next year this team will be different.

  19. The documentary on Netflix "Oklahoma City" is fascinating. I've never known much of the story of the bombing but the backstory of the Aryan Nations, Ruby Ridge and Davidians is nuts! I never knew anything about any of this. I was only like 5-8 years old during this whole thing.

      There is another documentary on net flix about Ruby Ridge that is very good. The name of it escapes me right now.

       

      Oklahoma City isn't really a destination city, but if you ever get the chance please go to the memorial. It's extremely sad, disturbing, and yet fascinating.

      I remember the Waco being all over the news, and not really understanding any of it at the time.

  20. I have never been so excited for a season to end. Oregon's basically done. NU is just waiting to fire Riley (thank god). I really want Frost to be the coach at NU. After that, I've got a handful of guys that I think would be great options but are more risky.

  21. Since the Frank Solich firing, Iowa has 2 losing seasons. NU is on the verge of its 4th.

     

    That tells you all you need to know. West Coast dudes responsible for all 4. Combined 7 Seasons, potentially 4 losing...That's unacceptable

    2. knapplc

      knapplc

      Wisconsin has three different coaches since 2012 and they're still competing for conference championships just about every year.  The stability comes from coaches who understand their system and how to maximize the talent they have on the roster.

    3. ladyhawke

      ladyhawke

      I was listening one of our local sports folks on the radio yesterday and they said the same thing, Knap. Even though Wiscy has had different coaches their identity has remained the same. They play the same kind of football they played since Alverez (sp?) came there. When Frank was fired NU started losing their identity and it's been downhill ever since. 

  22. Well the real Oregon finally showed up. Loss to a terrible Arizona State squad 37-35.

  23. I still think Nebraska will win 8-9 more games. I'm staying with my projection of 10-2 (had NU losing to Oregon) and I said it was only going to be because of defensive struggles early as the transition takes place. As the year goes on, the defense will get better. OSU is not invincible, NW is worse than originally thought, Iowa isn't great. Penn State is the real tough one in my opinion

      We certainly could win that many.  Lots of football to be played.  I still fell good with 7-5, 8-4 is the top of the ladder IMO.  No debate with you or anyone else.   I sure hope we can begin to put pressure on these passing downs.  I think we are still three draft classes away and there isn't time for that.

    3. BIG ERN

      BIG ERN

      We would have to beat 2/3 teams of Wisconsin, Penn St, Ohio St ....along with the winning all the others. Not gonna happen

      The truth to falsehood ratio on those so-called alt-right news sites is about 1/10, and that might be pretty generous. It is so discouraging to see them be shared as much as they are, by people who *really* should know better. Are people really that stupid, or is it that people are simply no longer interested in truth as long as ideology is served?

      That is not the case, ATB. This is basically an off the shelf message board software.

      zoogs

      As noted on the site footer, we run Invision's message board software. Support for versions 3.x.x, which we had been running for some time, ended a few months ago (at least?), which made a jump to 4.x.x, which was first released in 2015, inevitable. IPS is currently on 4.2.

       

      It doesn't "force" an upgrade, but it's a little like when Microsoft for example stopped supporting Windows XP with security patches. So we chose to upgrade, but it was long, long overdue.

      I was just curious, that's all. I don't remember seeing that footer on the old site, so that makes sense.
