Huskerdownunder

It seems almost every time Steinkuhler was substituted in this year (that i remember), the announcers usually mentioned his name when substituted in, and then again when the play had finished due to him making an impact on the play. Looks good for the future.

I'm in Sydney, and we can't get the games live, but i download every one as soon as possible. Staying off any football news for the day, or maybe two, as it takes awhile to get released, but it's well worth it. I caught every game (besides arkansas state), even the other fox-ppv ones for 09-10 and also a few extras. Ten yard torrents, check it out, great community. Just follow the rules and you can follow the Huskers from the other side of the planet all season.

Agreed. Having 34 seems to drop off the competition level for me, even though an excuse i have read somewhere says that bowl games are great way to give senior students a last opportunity beyond the regular season. The only thing that seems to trump this for me is that the bowl games appear to be loosely ranked and the money attributed to the bowl game seems to be ranked respectively as well. No. 11 not too bad. So at no. 11, puts 22 teams with in the first 11, mostly ranked? (haven't checked all of them) Cut it off around 15! still gives about 5 teams to play even if they are not ranked. On the money side of things, I doubt you could cram 34 headlining companies (Tositos, Capital One, ....) to get the same spread of advertisement. BUT, by having playoffs i'm sure this would tunnel into more expensive advertising spots, ie. as NFL playoffs progress to the superbowl, the cost of a 30 second tv spot grows exponentially, not to mention they seem to be getting more and more expensive each progressive season. I won't bitch about a playoff system being simply and competitively better, but having the nation + fixed on eight games one week, four the next, two, and then one big one, it seems to be a big enough deal to even out the greedy companies lobbying against the system.
