The only offer I see Bo entertaining is an offer to HC in the NFL or at Ohio State, although the Big 10 move makes Ohio State less likely. You couldn't blame the guy for bailing to the NFL but I just don't see how any other head coaching position in college football is better than NU. We have superior facilities compared to almost any other college program and the fan base is unmatched. Carl, on the other hand, would probably take a HC position at another program in a conference other than the Big 10. If Bo and Carl were hesitant to play Arizona and Mike Stoops last year, I just don't see Carl leaving to a program that would have a chance of playing Nebraska.

Bo has confirmed that T-Magic is still a Husker. http://omaha.com/article/20101121/BIGRED03/101129970/-1#pelini-martinez-didn-t-quit

Although I just graduated from Iowa State in May, I grew up in Omaha, so I am, and always will be, a Husker fan. I had season tickets at Iowa State for all four years and have witnessed a lot of football in the only D-1 stadium named after an African-American player, Jack Trice Stadium. That being said, here's some things to keep in mind while in Ames and on campus: Food/Drinks: Hickory Park for BBQ (Cheap and big portions. Get the garbage burger or the ribs.) Fuji Steak House for sea food or sushi (almost everything is good) Jeff's Pizza for Pizza (A college favorite and they put sugar in the pizza sauce, nuff said) Headliners or Welch Avenue Station for post-game celebrations (Although people will not like that you are wearing Husker red, State fans have been though enough bad football not to care) If you want more of a "club" environment, head to Club Element. (It's a jersey thing) Campustown, located to the west of the stadium on Lincoln Way, is where all of the college bars and restaurants are located. Go here and get a SuperDog from the street vendors. (Toasted Hot dog+pineapple+bacon+swiss cheese+sweet sauce=a good reason to attend Iowa State for four years) Also in Campustown is Fighting Burrito. Imagine Quodoba but with more options and hipsters serving the food. It's good and an Ames classic. Parking: Most of the lots on ISU's campus do not ticket during games or are open to visitors on the weekends. Almost all available parking on campus is within a half mile of Jack Trice Stadium. Key: DO NOT PAY FOR PARKING. Jack Trice Stadium: Iowa State football fans, although loyal, do not have a lot of tradition. In fact, last year when I graduated, Paul Rhodes first year, Iowa State basically copied the Tunnel Walk, same music and everything. Maybe that has changed but be prepared to be mad. One thing you will be surprised with is that our marching band gets a lot of love. It's really the only constant good thing we have had over the years. DO NOT BUY FOOD IN THE STADIUM. Unlike Memorial Stadium, Jack Trice doesn't have anything special. There are no Runza's or Valentino's pizzas to eat, only hot dogs, peanuts, Pizza Hut, and Coke products. You figure they would serve some of that choice, Iowa pork but that must have slipped the minds of the suppliers. Also, Jack Trice NEVER sells out. It doesn't have the capability to sell out. Jack Trice has four "hillside" sections that have, basically, unlimited tickets available. Do not buy tickets from a scalper before the game begins. Go to the north end of the stadium and pay a visit to the ticket office. Or, wait until about half way through the first quarter and pay nearly nothing from a scalper. I'm serious. I once bought a ticket to the Iowa State v. Iowa game, the State of Iowa's superbowl, from a scalper for $10 right as the second quarter began. Finally, Jack Trice is a very college student oriented environment. Drinking, cursing, and damning Iowa State after they give up 21 points in the first quarter, ...again, is not only allowed but a social norm. Cops: Iowa State is a college town first and foremost. Iowa State Police won't screw with you if you are having "fun" and not bothering anyone else. Ames Police, however, are real cops and hate working on Saturday's so college kids can drink while a football game is happening. That's Iowa State. I will be there and will be sitting in the Visitor section for the first time ever. My diploma says "Iowa State" but my heart says "Nebraska." Go Big Red

This picture about sums up the way the calls have gone this year.

Don't let the haterz hate. If we lose this game I will be despondent for the rest of the month. Everyone has had this date circled for ten months. Plus, if we can't beat Texas now with the spotlight, it means we won't hold up in clutch situations like OK State or Texas AM. We must win.

I think you will appreciate my re-edit.
