NUance

Mizzou. Looking beastly in the mirror. But mild on the scoreboard.

Callahan did produce some fine offenses. Still, he did not do much to ingratiate himself to the Nebr populace. IF he had Bo as DC, and IF he won at least 8 or 9 games per year, and IF he had kept some semblance of the walk-on program, and IF he sprinkled a few option sets in his offense, THEN he would still be at UNL. Is that what you wanted to hear?

Nice. But please don't make this same comparison thread for NU v. TT and UT v TT.

My thoughts exactly. Youngstown St would be a demotion. Would really be a slap in the face to brother Bo.

Be kinda tough to raise a family in that little cave. Think I'll keep my house.

Front? Ha ha! I can't wait to see the pics posted for FRONT.

Good for him. I like it. Great to see Asante play with aggression. QBs start to slide a bit earlier when they see him closing in. Congrats to both.

Inaccurate on long throws? Sure. But at least he’s consistent. Inaccurate on short throws too.

So this guy is a K-State fan AND a Philly Eagles fan? And he’s calling US douche bags? Ha ha! Not many college/pro combos worse than K-State/Philly. Maybe a CU/Oakland Raiders would be worse.

Who drove? POTD!! Now THAT is funny!

Sure, Granny Snyder coached a good game—but Pelini pulled a slick one on him at the end. Remember when we sent the punt squad out on 4th and 1 with about 3 minutes left? Granny Snyder burns his last time out to kill the clock. So after the time out Bo sends the offense out and makes the 1st down. Game over. I don’t think Snyder got the best of Bo that time.

The problem is . . . if you don't have the money . . . you don't have the money. CU might be there. I'm not sure how banks feel about loaning millions for a dice roll on a football coach. Hopefully someone who knows more about the situation chimes in. And you can't make any guarantees that he'd turn them into a consistent national contender. Agreed, but I would sure damn well like my chances!!!! Well I for one think that Mike Bohn should honor Hawkins’ contract and keep him in place for a couple of more years. It would be the right thing to do. And CU would continue to suck ass. heh, heh, heh.

Instead of switching teams, just show up to games sporting an Obama HOPE sweatshirt. You could sit next to the 3:16 guy behind the goal posts. I’ll bet you’d get on TV!

Haven't you noticed that its our D that needs help and not the O??!! Yeah. We need to recruit some defensive players who can score touchdowns!

No way Mangino would come to NU. Or NU would want Mangina. He will end up at some up and coming (read: aggressive) football school. Like UCF was a few years back when they picked O'Leary off the waiver wires a couple years after the ND thing.

Ha ha.

+1. Yeah, seems like we would have learned from past experience not to put all our eggs in one basket.

I don’t think earlier recruiting would favor the rich. Texas, Florida and USC are going to get pretty much whoever they go after. Signing earlier would force them to make an earlier decision—with less information. It could work to our advantage.

We prolly shouldn’t oversign by much if we do as well as last year in bringing signed recruits to campus. We didn’t lose too many after February. Wasn’t there a revised recruiting ranking this summer, taking into account the recruits who made it/didn’t make it to campus? I tried to find it but couldn’t.

I’d rather see Mangino go back to KSU to work under Granny Snyder again. Maybe be HC someday. He’d put a hurt on those KU pussies every year. And they would deserve it for letting him go.

I guess Shawn Watson can stay at NU now that we know he hangs on every word of advice TO sparingly doles out.

These guys have been through a lot of turmoil in the program. A LOT. I applaud their efforts, and thank them for sticking it out. Cheers to you!

The Kitties beat Iowa State. But lost to Oklahoma. My head hurts.

I dont agree that it couldnt be about his performance. He has had 1, count it 1, good year. That year they didnt play 1 single BSC team with a winning record in the regular season until their last game, which they lost. He has never had another season where he finished above .500 in conference. His best team ever will most likely not even make a bowl game. His conference records are as follows: 0-8 2-6 2-6 4-4 3-5 7-1 4-4 1-5 currently and a probable 1-7 finish. For those who dont want to add that is a coference record of 23-39 currently. Minus what has proved to be a fluke season in 2007 and he is 16-38 in big 12 play. He will likely finish .500 in big 12 play over the last 3 years with Reesing, Meyer and Brisco. He is NOT the great coach some make him out to be. He is not a bad coach but since when does a guy who losses nearly twice as many conference games as he wins qualify for "great" a fluke 2007 made him a rich man, and it should also not keep him from being cut like any other coach who cant perform. Mangino is the best coach at KU since, well, forever. KU hasn’t had a truly great season since Fielding Yost went 10-0. That was in 1899. Here is what they’ve done since WWII: Jules V. Sikes (1948-53) 35-25-0 (.583) Chuck Mather (1954-57) 11-26-3 (.313) Jack Mitchell (1958-66) 44-42-5 (.511) Pepper Rodgers (1967-70) 20-22-0 (.476) Don Fambrough (1971-74 & 79-82) 36-49-5 (.428) Bud Moore (1975-78) 17-27-1 (.389) Mike Gottfried (1983-85) 15-18-1 (.456) Bob Valesente (1986-87) 4-17-1 (.205) Glenn Mason (1988-96) 47-54-1 (.466) Terry Allen (1997-01) 21-35-0 (.375) Mark Mangino (2002-?) 50-45-0 (.523) The KU admin should be kissing Mangino's fat ass instead of giving him grief.
