So the Nebraska job is thought of as a pretty good job. Why all the worry about him leaving. If he wants to go then do we really want him?

A few points about the Bohl's article (from the heart of Vermin Country, no less):

 

1) OU won't tag along with A&M to the SEC: OU mistakenly revealed that they're hitching their wagons to Texas last summer. And frankly, while the SEC publicly said they want Texas and OU, they really don't--OU has little to offer the SEC other than a football program that can beat the other 12 SEC teams. Texas is too big of a primadonna for the SEC to put up with, and Texas wants nothing to do with the SEC--Texas is using the "College Football Cheating for Dummies" book as written by the SEC en masse.

 

A&M does two things--it adds an opponent to the SEC schedule that is tough, yet consistently beatable, it opens the fertile recruiting grounds of Texas to the SEC, and it adds a major media market (Houston) to the SEC footprint--something which will help the SEC when CBS' SEC broadcast rights end in two years (read: even more money).

 

As for the other school, it likely won't be a Big XII member--the SEC will have an open door to Texas and a middle-of-the-road program to use and abuse. The SEC has no use for any of the other schools--they're the biggest conference on the block, Oklahoma takes more than it adds, and no other school (save for Texas) would benefit the SEC. Look for an ACC or Big East school to jump ship for a large payday that isn't necessarily amenable to the Big 10 footprint and has geographical relevance to the SEC (read: North Carolina, FSU, Georgia Tech).

 

2) If the SEC goes to 14, I fully expect the Big 10 to offer Notre Dame again. Yes, Notre Dame will spurn them again.

 

3) When the Big 10 gets rejected by the 'Domers, I can see either a (Syracuse/Rutgers) offer to get to 13 purely for the big bump in footprint (to counter the SEC adding south Texas to their footprint). However, when the (Syracuse/Rutgers) offer happens...

 

4) An offer to Syracuse or Rutgers may trigger Conference Armageddon 2, as it signals open season on poaching the best of the Big East. The ACC will look to offer 2 or 3 (depending on where the SEC goes). So while chaos ensues in the Big East...

 

5) The Big 10 will offer Notre Dame again, and the 'Domers will accept. No Big East--no home for Olympic teams, and Notre Dame will finally read what has been written on the walls for some time.

 

6) This leaves Kansas/Missouri stuck in the Big Tex unless someone wants to go to 16 (not likely).

 

If Syracuse or Rutgers reject a Big 10 offer (highly unlikely), then look for both Kansas and Missouri (if Kansas hasn't already signed with the Big East) to be onboarded to the Big 10, and that would make Nebraska fans happy (two more close opponents, some history added back, etc.)

 

Anyway, just some thoughts. Feel free to beat the living **** out of them via comments and criticism.

I agree with a lot of the above.

BUT... I don't think Dame will get a unrequested offer this time. They will have to ask for it... To many other teams to choose from this time around. I truly think Mizzu and KU would be the logical choice. Big East schools sounded good but in reality I don't think they bring to much to the table. Far fewer fans... And KU you adds a huge Bball team tourney bound year-in year-out.

I feel the same. I hope we have some last minute unknowns!

That sucks!

Well I would say "NOT SO FAST MT FRIEND" I want to see what Carnes can do this spring. If he has blood lines to TOUCHDOWN TOMMY, he knows how to win and knows how to get the job down. I think our QB situation for the next couple of years looks really good. Turner, Carnes, Maybe Bubba

Bubba is NOT coming! I wish the conversation about him would just end.

T-Mart is our man for another 3 years...

I don't think Oregon has that much better of facilities; Do they?

 

Yes he was. But what I find disconcerting is Casey Martinez trying to get some pull in the program with Bo. I just don't want to see us hit the tank when he graduates (ala Crouch leaving) and have to rebuild again. Putting all your chips in the center of the table tends to end that way. But what do I know?

I don't know about all that we seem to be recruiting quite a few QB's.

I was trying to get at that in my Bold Predictions post....I don't think TM is leaving the helm anytime soon....

 

In fact - I personally believe he's going to be an all time great.

I agree! Scott Frost was hated in the beginning!

Everybody needs to calm down with the TM hate; he's a freshman.

Call me a bad guy, but I really don't feel bad for Braylon. The ACT is really not that hard. I got a 28 on my first try and I literally (yes, I mean literally) did not study at all for it. If you can't meet the university's academic standards, that's not their fault and he shouldn't be treated any different just because he plays football.

Well it is hard for some! I bet playing on a D1 football would be impossible for you, but for Braylon that is the easy part! No one is asking for him to get special treatment. They are stating the facts!
