Bo is gone at the end of the year, he may have a chance if he can somehow bring a conference trophy home, but we all know that isn't going to happen. They are going to let the season unfold and after a few more blowout losses that will be the reason for him either to be found another job like Carl was, or just be released. This is all about not trying to have the same outcry that we had when Frank was fired a year early. You need to let the HC hang themselves to the point that even the most dull fan will accept a head coaching move. Welp, I guess you have some time freed up on Saturdays this fall - since the outcome is certain you must not need to follow the games. If you have tickets, can I have them?

I'm just tired of everyone stating that Bo was going after Frazier. The way I recall, Frazier went directly after Bo and his staff in a completely disrespectful public way that could cause no good whatsoever. Bo was then directly asked about it, and he simply replied that the program did not need him and his opinions around the program if they were going to be so negative towards what the team has been working hard to accomplish, ending with the best part -- "and that's too bad." It is too bad that a few former players - particularly Frazier - have to go public with opinions more to draw attention to themselves, than to support the current generation of the team.

You also have to remember Tom played for a few national titles in the 80s also. Miami, Lost to Penn st on the famous out of bounds play, Clemson. Those are the 3 I can remember. So Tom had them there and in postion. Games just did not work out. I think there was another one in the 80s also? I might be wrong on that. That's true, but he also had the advantage of taking over a pretty good team, not the trainwreck that Bo was asked to turn around.

So many people seem to want Bo gone now, but idolize T.O. and can completely overlook the fact that it took him 23 years. Im not saying I have 2 decades of patience, but you've got to give a guy a chance. Im sure glad we didn't chase Tom out after a few 9 win seasons (although I understand it might not have been to lack of effort to have him removed). Just a little tired of people only citing the sunny side of history to compare the current situation to.

While I want to see success on the field and trophies on display as much as the next guy, and we certainly have a lot of work to do, Im always sad to see Husker fans that seem willing to sell out everything just to win. To me, Nebraska football - and Nebraska in general isn't just about winning, its about doing things the right way. Doing things off the field the right way. Im incredibly proud of our coaching staff and athletic department at the level of integrity that they show and have led our program back to. How many other of these "elite" schools do we keep hearing about with athletes causing trouble, and programs under investigation. Long story short, Id rather have an ethically run program and lose some games than cheat and win them all (This is not meant to say everyone that's won has cheated or is unethical, but it does seem to be rampant.) I would be interested to know if others on here feel the same way, or if the fan base could care less as long as we win.

I believe that is a rendering of the new haymarket arena to be built and future basketball facility. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong....

And exactly how is an article like this any better than Bo yelling at him on the sidelines? Chatty can't even take the heat in the aftermath by not disclosing what was talked about. This kind of journalism bothers me FAR more than a coach who is around the kid much more than the 3 hours we see on TV, for the good and the bad. All of these speculation about somebody's feelings stories are starting to get pretty pathetic.

Going slightly off topic - I think this illustrates the need for the NCAA to create some rules around allowing visiting teams safe passage off of the forum of play before fans are allowed in - whether it be a football field, basketball court, or whatever else crazed fans want to rush after a big game. I realize this takes a little bit away from a home team's energized celebration - I believe that the safety of all of the players and coaches has to come first. Any mob of passionate fans against a group of opposing passionate players and coaches is a bad idea. In no way am I trying to make any excuses for what Carl may have or may not have done, or any other player or coach that has had a run-in with opposing fans after a game. This isn't the first story about a player or coach that had a run in with fans in a rush-the-field scenario, and I'm quite certain it won't be the last. I completely thought this after the conclusion of the Oklahoma/Missouri game a few weeks ago - when the home fans were allowed to storm the field before the final play was even over (irregardless of whether that play in progress could have affected the outcome). While I'm sure many schools would claim that it would be far to difficult to enforce, I'm certain that a $1, $2, maybe $5 million dollar fine would certainly cause a school to find a way. It seems that any stadium that wants to, can inform the fans that people who enter the field of play uninvited will be arrested on the spot for trespassing, inciting riot, etc. Over all, nothing good comes from mixing large groups of people in such a passionate environment, and I think that it is something that can and should be completely avoided. With all of the concern about player safety around the sport, to me - this seems like it is the most dangerous thing that is still allowed to occur, and nobody seems to be talking about fixing it. Does anybody else feel this way - or am I out in left field?

I had the same problem last week. Just ordered this weeks game online in HD ( and saved the screen shots showing such ). The tv currently shows commercials on the SD channel but just the DirecTV logo on the HD channel. This makes me worry that it will happen again - so I called in and all they could tell me was that "You should receive both the SD and HD channels" - and could not explain why that did not happen last week. If somebody has it up or experience, could you verify what is displayed on both the SD and HD (786 & 786-1) channels before the game? I was trying to get this all resolved before kickoff so I didn't have to spend a good chunk of the game on the phone.... Thanks!
