  1. My concern is that the fans are all waiting for a breakthrough year under Bo, but as soon as he gets one he tosses his name out there again for head coaching jobs. Imagine if Nebraska sticks it out until year ten under Bo & Co and they have the seasons of their lives and win the Big 10 and they get knocked out in the first round of the playoffs. Due to the constant controversy and scrutiny Bo Pelini immediately bails for an open University of Miami head coaching job. What's perhaps most concerning is that every time Nebraska starts trending upward (2009 and 2010) I keep hearing rumors that NE's coach is out looking at the Miami job, the Arkansas job, the Ohio State job, etc. I guess I no longer see much of an upside.
  2. Sounds like they're leaning towards taking an offensive lineman. For some reason it seems like Prince's stock has dropped the last few days, maybe he will fall to 20, who knows. It might also be possible that teams feign interest in prospects to make it more difficult for other teams predict what they will do. I don't know if they really do this, but I have heard people say teams will think that in depth to try to get better value in the first 3-4 rounds. Does this actually play out in the first round? I have no clue. Just an idea.
  3. This is why you listen to Miami when they call. Well played Bo, Well played.
  4. The Big Ten Network is partially (49% I believe) owned by Fox. Thanks for that info. Guess I'm not surprised now that the BIG Network gets scrutinized. I still have to say I'm little surprised this gets by. I kinda wonder what the breaking point is as far as business models, or if it has already been crossed and more government heat comes at some point down the road for these setups.
  5. I wonder at what point a university crosses the line between a non profit organization and a taxable entity competing with the business sector. It's one thing for Notre Dame and conferences to sign television contracts with ESPN, CBS, etc., but to start a partnership with ESPN to create a network...give me a break. I realize the Big Ten Network has come under attack as a tax-exempted entity, but at least it consists of only educational institution members. I am very curious as to how taxes and profits will be allocated in a partnership between what is clearly a for-profit business entity and a non profit program. I am sure some Texas lawyers are on this, but it seems to me like a line has been crossed.
  6. Kind of makes you wonder how they actually picked these...perhaps names were put on fruit and tossed into a gorilla exhibit?
  7. I remember when Neb was believed to be his fave with like one other school. What happened to that? We didn't offer to pay
  8. He said he is going to announce his decision at the Army All-American game in January. Has Nebraska ever even gotten a commitment during a high school All-American game?
  9. To be fair, Jake Locker seems like a classy guy. Not the college QB some people made him out to be, but he handles himself well considering, and I do wish him luck at the next level. Also I don't think NU will win by 35 again, although injuries are a definite factor in that.
  10. At least Nebraska earned the right to play for a few Conference titles and a National Championship on the 00s. Its not like we didn't have the opportunity to watch the Huskers play in some big games. They just haven't quite been good enough, but not quite good enough is better than nowhere near good enough, which is most teams. That's why it's a championship. Starting in 2011, we are getting a fresh start in a lot of ways, but we get to keep some momentum. Things aren't that bad the way I see it.
  11. It is actually reassuring to hear that not every person in the surrounding states hates Nebraska. (Well at least as much as OU) Thanks
  12. Got a glimpse of the guys face and didn't watch...looked like lurch
