Scott is saying all the right things so far. It took me a long time to be sold on his loyalty to Nebraska, but I don't have any doubt at this point.

With Mullen going to Florida, I will be absolutely shocked at this point if Frost isn't N.

Two weeks from today I have my next post-op appointment and am hoping to get the good news that I can start walking again. It's amazing how easy it is to take something like being able to walk for granted. I had surgery to repair my shattered ankle just over a month ago, and it's been a long month.
-
It's gotten to the point where I'm more angry about seeing our fans on social media complain and personally attack the players/coaches after a loss than I am about the actual outcome of the game.

Kaepernick is now planning to file a grievance against the NFL team owners for collusion since none of them want to sign him. None of them want to sign me either, for the same reason.

Actually, I don't pay much attention to the NFL anymore. The whole thing is too business like with a bunch of overpaid prima donnas. I barely make the time to watch my two favorite teams, Broncos and Packers, play every once in awhile. I watched all of about 5 minutes of the Denver game last night. I used to love the NBA and the NFL. I absolutely can't stand the NBA and the NFL does nothing for me. It's no longer a game played for pride. There is no loyalty to anything except the mighty dollar. The NHL is the only professional league I like. So I really don't care about Kaepernick or the NFL. And yes, I do think all of them should be more modest with their views. They play a damn game and get paid obscenely well for it. They should be thankful they don't have to really work for a living.

And I'm not pretending the NFL doesn't put the clamps on controversy when it comes to marketing their product. What responsible business doesn't try to maintain a certain image? I just really don't feel this is anything approaching collusion or even the league putting clamps on controversy. My gut tells me he might be getting a little more opportunity without this issue but I also don't feel it is the thing keeping him off a roster. I sure don't think it's some wide ranging, league mandated blackballing. Maybe the lesson is, if you're a bubble player then you better fly a little straighter and not act like you're indispensable because you are. I would do the exact same thing with hiring decisions in my business. If I had 10 people apply for one job opening and they're all about equal skill and experience but say one has a history of work comp claims, why in the world would I choose the guy that presents a possible liability? That's not collusion, that's just the way life works. It shouldn't shock anybody.

Just got out of surgery to fix my ankle, it was dislocated and broken in three different places. It's been a rough last few days, but on the plus side, my anesthesiologist was Rob Zatechka.

Whatever happens with our coaching situation, I'd love to see Chris Del Conte get the permanent AD job.

You gotta at least call Greg Byrne and make him say no. Nebraska can offer more money (shockingly, Alabama is 'only' paying him $900k) plus a chance to bring Nebraska back to glory. Plus, his dad was the AD here...just spitballing. I don't blame Del Conte for turning down the Texas job, talk about inmates running the asylum.

Rest in peace, Sam Foltz and Mike Sadler. Both classy young men who worked hard and showed great leadership both on and off the field, both gone way too soon...

Keyshawn Sr. on his son's commitment: "Relationships and trust go a long way in making this decision. #GBR"

For a minute there, I thought I should go on a diet, but then Pizza Hut's hot chocolate brownies happened and I decided dieting just wasn't worth it.

Woke up this morning to find several items, including my stereo receiver, stolen out of my car. Merry Christmas, douchebag...

Thankfully they didn't really do any permanent damage, they just ripped the center piece out and left it wedged against the shifter (pain in the butt to get it back in place, but it wasn't damaged). I noticed the other day that the top of the piece was popped out, so I wonder if they didn't try it another time and get spooked. Probably somebody in this apartment complex.

I swear, some of our fans are more annoying than the Iowa fans that were talking crap about us after they beat us. Heaven forbid we be happy that Iowa lost last night without considering for half a second that we had a crappy season.
-
Michigan State is playing some nasty football tonight. Would love to see them carry this momentum into the B1G Championship.
-
If browsing Facebook tonight has taught me anything, it's that either Tommy Armstrong was to blame for the loss tonight or the coaches were, but not both.
-
Since I predicted a Nebraska loss for the first time this year in the prediction contest thread, I'm going to go ahead and take credit for the win tonight. You're welcome, everybody.

Watching on CNN now that President Obama has rejected the permit for TransCanada to build the Keystone XL pipeline. I may not be one of his biggest supporters, but he absolutely made the right decision on this one.

If you ask the average person how long ago 1995 was, they'd say, "Duh, 20 years." If you asked a Husker fan, they would tell you that it was an eternity ago.
-
It's not that it's been so long since Nebraska has won a national championship, it's that we're so far removed from what we had in 1995 that it hardly even feels like the same program anymore. Nebraska was synonymous with greatness in the 90's, and maybe even the early 2000s. Now our football program is the punchline of a bad joke.
-
I found the "Fire Nebraska Head Coach Mike Riley" group on Facebook and looked at about 10-15 of their posts. I now feel dumber for having actually looked at that garbage.
-
WTF Iowa??? Where did these guys come from?
-
Just saw the play that Nick Chubb got injured on, then immediately regretted it. That had to be incredibly painful.
-
Hey Ohio State, is there any chance we could uhhhh, borrow Braxton Miller until the end of the season? I promise we'll give him back...
-
Some of the Facebook Husker groups are nuts. Some of the same people who complained that Bo needed more time are calling for Riley to be fired after ONE GAME, and yes they're serious.
