  2. "And Riley and Cavanaugh are the primary reasons Barnett even considered Nebraska. The Huskers’ previous staff hadn’t offered. Hadn’t shown interest. Despite Breeze sending legendary offensive lineman Will Shields and safety Mike Minter to Lincoln, NU didn’t have an in with Breeze for many years."

  3. Whoa. Creighton loses trauma center designation.

      Not enough profit if it probably. CHI is awfully greedy for a 'religious based non-profit'

  6. Is it just me or are the same people who were optimistic about Bo now pessimistic about Riley?

      Rumchata shots? I prefer a Rumchata/Guiness Stout boilermaker, preferably for breakfast with poached eggs.

      So, you have no opinions of your own, only observations of what you think will happen. That makes it convenient to take little pot shots at people who are willing to share their opinion.

    3. TheSker

      My opinion is we played horribly on Saturday, the offensive line is offensive and I think the defense started to quit because they don't trust our offense or our linebackers. I also think my opinion doesn't matter that much because I don't have the cell phone number for anyone who matters in the decision. And it seems to me that there are pot shots all over a message board.....

      "You've got to be sophisticated enough in the business world to be competitive on the global basis, but simple enough for all your employees to be able to execute," Moglia said. "That is the exact same thing in football. You've got to be sophisticated enough to have the different type of answers you need to compete and simple enough for your guys to execute."

      Well, carlfense, I look forward to hearing what possible reasons they could have. Even if we went down a division to get an up-and-comer who's run a program before (something beneath our financial potential), I don't think in our division we have to worry about snapping the mystical nine game streak simply because we change coaches. What we might do, though, is avoid NCAA records being broken on us.

      It's a process. Just wait til next year. The players just aren't executing. When these new recruits get some experience, it will be different. Does that about cover it?

      Just wait till you see the new ~20 ranked class of recruits. And we will adjust to the new conference. Etc .

      In yet another contrast, Nebraska self-reported a textbook violation that was hardly a violation and was solely based off some student's misunderstanding of a book list. The NCAA likely would never have known had we not self-reported, yet we were given two year's probation and are subject to the repeat-offender clause if anything else happens for five years after the report. Gurley didn't self-report, he was "snitched" out, and to my knowledge Georgia faces no probation ov...

      yeah, pretty annoying how the ncaa just enforces rules however they see fit. i think they are getting scared of offending big programs now because they sense their obsolescence.

  19. Interesting: "With the expired play clock, Fiedler said that was not a reviewable play."

      Tough for me to feel sorry for Penn State . . . but I do wonder how they decide which expired clock plays are reviewable. Seems like we've been on the receiving end of one of those . . .

      I was hoping Penn State would pull off the upset. I was reading an Ohio State message board and their own fans don't think the Buckeyes will beat MSU
