  1. Oregon State's head coaching job just came available.  Will Riley want to go back to Corvallis for stop #3 there?

      He left 11 million on the table 

      :confucius

      wish I could take that since he doesn’t want it.

      Let's see how this season plays out. I think it's a tough one, but long term I don't think that's the case. Maybe it's not as elite as we'd hope and so he should go eventually, but it's not that bad either.

       

      Anyway, this was more about OSU. People were abuzz about the Andersen hire. Every time they landed a 4* it was news. There was some argument that they'd do better without Riley. GA is now 7-22.

      @zoogs are you watching the same games everyone else is?  NU isn't competing against any teams with a pulse, and also has the bad habit of losing to teams we shouldn't.

  2. Ran into a guy at the hotel bar last night who had a Nebraska Blackshirts shirt on. I go up to him and asked him if he was from Nebraska fan, and he replied "actually I'm a Hawkeyes fan". I immediately walked away and almost threw up in my mouth.

      Or he answered sarcastically.

      Maybe he really was a Husker fan but embarrassed to admit it. Figured he was in Mexico so just pretended to be somebody else.

      I don't see the conflict.  Iowa put over 400 yards on the blackshirts last year.  If I was a Hawkeye, I'd be a blackshirt fan too.

  3. Rimington named Interim AD

  4. Saban just dropped a "what the f#*k are we doing?" on CBS.  So funny.

  5. Saw on Twitter that Kansas State had an agreement to bring Jim Leavitt to Manhattan to be DC and Head Coach in Waiting, and was going to take over in 2018. Grandpa Bill mixed that idea because he wants his son to get the job when he retires. Interesting.

      I would say the woman broke up her marriage.  Not Carl.

    3. ColoradoHusk

      I agree St. Paul, but the booster blamed Carl, and demanded that Carl leave NU. 

    4. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      I think the woman went down to FAU with Carl when he took the job there. 

  6. So Baker Mayfield was forced to apologize for planting the OU flag on the Big O at Ohio Stadium?  Can't teams take ass-whippings any more. We are becoming a nation of wimps. 

  7. Some nice Husker banter on tonight's Better Call Saul.

      They even had the correct era Jordans on the shelf!

      The sure did their research on the fan base and how they talked/talk about Martinez and Pelini 

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Yeah that was kinda cool.  Pretty sure that security guard would've had much stronger opinions about it though. Quite a few good name drops.

  8. Someone who is computer graphics savvy needs to make a Last Jedi gif/pic with Scott Frost.

    1. RedDenver

      I'm pretty sure there's one in the Scott Frost Megathread back about 50ish pages.

  9. Someone who is much better at pasting Twitter posts should start a thread from SpreadOffense.com@SpreadOffense on Twitter.  They are showing a bunch of old spread plays from the 90s, and how Osborne started so many of today's spread principles.

      Thanks, CSG, and saw those posts.  I just wonder how many people actually go to those threads.  Appreciate you putting that stuff in there though.

      I forgot about that thread, good stuff

      Osborne was just scratching the surface of getting into some spread principles near the end of his tenure.  It's some cool stuff.

  10. Sumlin got PAID!!!  $10.4M buyout within 60 days and it doesn't get reduced if he takes another job.

      with buyouts like that why would you NOT try to get fired?

      @ColoradoHusk Unfortunately, as the site adds in rep from subsequent days, we can lose days we have already won. Looks like Mav overtook you and "won" that day now. 

    4. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      I just saw that I now didn't win the day.  Dangit!!!  Oh well, Mav is a good competitor to lose to.

  12. The coaches film room on ESPNEWS is such a great way to watch these playoff games. All-22 view with some great coaches commenting. Gary Patterson is owning the room. 

  13. The more and more I read about Riley's tenure and I think about him, he's the type of guy who would be great at leading a non-profit, charitable organization, but would be awful at leading a corporate behemoth that needs to report strong earnings every quarter.

      Actually think he could be good at glad handing big donors of a cfb program. He would have tons of stories and be able to talk football with them.

      I think Riley could make a good AD.

      Somewhere, Mike Riley just read this statement and asked someone on staff to hold his latte.

    4. JJ Husker

      “Can’t” lose this weekend? Me thinks somebody is way overestimating this staff’s clock management skills.

  16. Who’s gonna be lame and “root for the conference” today?

    1. RedDenver

      RedDenver

      I never root for the conference. But I usually root against the SEC.

      What took place saturday night Knapp was not lack of adaptation. That was just straight up embarrasing. That's just lack of give-a-sh#t on the defensive side of the ball. it's a disease that's been running rampant through the Big 12 for a while now.

    4. Count 'Bility

      Count 'Bility

      There is no desire whatsoever in that conference from most of those teams to be a complete football team.

      Nothing wrong with being a backup QB in the NFL. It's one of the best jobs around.

      Huh...that's what, five Nebraska players on the Lions' roster?

       

      Here's hoping they can come over to East Lansing and spare some positive juju.

  21. And Mike Riley still has never won 10 regular season games in a season (and has only one 10 win season in his entire career).

      I like them. Most the early games are crap anyway so I can watch our game, then watch other teams.

      I am just bummed since this is the one game this season I will be going to. I wanted to party a bit before the game. 11 AM kick makes that tough.

    4. StPaulHusker

      StPaulHusker

      I am going to party AFTER the game. Going to be a good time. Don't forget-You can party during the game too. At least until halftime is done.
