Can he just walk on for a semester, or does the "ban" UCF put on him last for a full year?

"We" as in, UCF?

I've always thought that if you pair the '08 Offense with the '09 Defense, Nebraska is in the discussion for the national title.

This seems like one of the no brainers; you have one of the statistically most successful QBs in school history and a guy who set a lot of those passing records just a few years before.

There's a little bit, but the way they have been playing, there no reason they shouldn't be favored over at least half of their remaining games. They're favored tonight against Wisky.

Since it’s the offseason, I’d like to try something; I did this a few years ago at a different forum and had some success with it. I’m going to introduce voting for the All Pelini Team. We’ll look at each positions and choose an all star team based on players who started a majority of the time or had their largest contributions at Nebraska under Coach Pelini, with number of games started being the tiebreaker. For example: Joe Ganz was recruited by and spent 4 years at Nebraska under Bill Callahan. However, a majority of his impact was as a starting QB under Bo Pelini. Therefore, he is slotted for voting under Team Pelini. Positions will be based on an 11 personnel package. Therefore, when it comes that time, you’ll be voting for 1 RB, 1 TE and 3 WRs. All stats and accolades will be from Huskers.com and Sports Reference. Voting for each position will be open for a week, after which results will be tallied. Our first position is QB. You may vote for 1.

I've always enjoyed Yahtzee's reviews (NSFW - language):

Iowa always seems to bite Nebraska, but I think Wisky is there for the taking this year, as long as Miles can keep Wisky's secondary options after Happ in control. Illinois is a home-home, so you could be right there.

10-4 would be beating Wisky twice and Minnesota on the road. I accounted for losses to Michigan, OSU, Iowa and Maryland.

He's more than earned the benefit of the doubt.

I would be all for that as well. Schools should have to play by strict academic standards as well. I think all we need to do is decide on how to pay players, and we'll have fixed NCAA Division 1 football.

That would involve centralizing all scheduling with the NCAA and forcing conferences to play by the same rules in terms of number of conference games and scheduling of FCS teams. I'm all for it.

There's 14 regular season games left, and Nebraska could conceivably go 10-4 in those games. If they're sitting at 21-10 (12-6 in the conference) going to the conference tournament, they've got a really good chance at making the Dance regardless of if they're 5th or 6th in the conference.

At first I thought Hollow Knight was an expansion/sequel to Shovel Knight. It looks good, though. Another single player game I've been really into the past few months is Stardew Valley. It's Harvest Moon meets 2-D Zelda, with a crafting element to it. It ate a ton of my time right after I got my Switch.

There's not much to screw up if they go 5 P5 champions plus 3 at large, with the caveat that an unbeaten G5 team automatically gets the 8 seed (if they aren't ranked higher).

This is true; the title game would have at least had 2 vs. 4 last year had a certain someone not used all the luck in the world to break up the party.

FCS has had a playoff for decades, and managed to get the two best teams in the title game this year. There's too much money wrapped up in bowl games and the CFB playoff to ever reset it to something that is both fair AND makes sense.

I will never not +1 Cap.

Absolutely not.

Not if there's a clause for an undefeated G5 team to automatically be included.

Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey for me. I love Metroidvania games, though.

Of course it's going to be that. RTDB Guy is going to have a coronary the first time Frost lines up in Shotgun/4 wides on 3rd and 2.

Find a way to guard Happ, and this can be a W.

A chip on your shoulder and 4.4 speed will get you a long way in life.
