This. Let's not forget, Harrison Butker was drafted, then sent to the practice squad after Carolina decided to keep Graham Gano...and the rest is Kansas City Super Bowl history.

Thanks, Bill! I had no idea that the Huskers were playing Minnesota tomorrow. I'm obligated by marriage to cheer for the red in your game - and hope they'll once again take home arguably the greatest trophy in college football - but hoping y'all have a great season!

Be that as it may...a recruit doesn't really care about "A place like Lincoln Nebraska will draw fans whether they win or lose because what else is there to do?" if they see one place where they sell out every game and another with lackluster fan support. If they go for a visit to UNL, they see...

Bummed to miss it, but looking for a new role, and the commute expense from CO was just too great. Will be cheering on from here with my wife and kids. Go Jackets! (& for those of you who are going, another reminder/request - red shows up awfully well on camera. Particularly when compared to a...

Agreed. As the husband of a Nebraska Cornhusker, I'm always surprised at how much fan support their non-rev sports have. Volleyball in particular - they are constantly in the push for the national championship, and the fans come out in droves to support their team (same goes for other non-rev...

Me, too. (And not just because my wife is a Cornhusker, and I have to watch every Nebraska game each year in addition to Tech's games). I think Jeff Sims is a good player, but TFG and his OC's had him in his head constantly, which didn't put him in the best position to shine. When I think...

I'm saying 6 wins. This is the toughest prediction it's been in a long time, however. We have 2 good QBs, a stacked WR room, a decent set of RBs, what seems like an improved (at least older) OL, and a defense that could really go either way (given that we have a strong secondary, but are...

Have just looked back, and now am wondering where I was looking and saw a schedule that showed FSU as playing LSU in a bowl game last year. So apparently I'm wrong. This is what happens when you're putting in 80 hour weeks and raising kids, I guess. My mistake.

(See my previous correction about meaning to say "regular season." Or read any of the 20 posts after that post). Then again, you're from Free Shoes U, so I suppose you're just here to cherry pick anyway. Cheers.

I believe I remember @PVdad saying something exactly to the point early last spring, once the King transfer was announced. I'm a Zach Pyron fan. I think he's got grit, he's got talent, and he's tough. Which like so many others only leads me to think that King must have either balled out, or had...

Agreed on it being the best time to push ND for concessions. The fly in the ointment is that Clemson and Free Shoes U are also trying to push the rest of the league for concessions as well. Effectively they're saying, "We're leaving whenever we can, and we'll torpedo the MF for you unless you...

Right. Who knows? I know a lot of kids liked the lower jersey numbers, but not sure if that's a "thing," or if it's just "first come, first served" now. Re: the # of dupes, I do remember that in 2020 the NCAA changed the rule re: duplicate jersey numbers. Previously, they had allowed duplicate...

No you weren't.

Thanks for posting this. couple of quick observations: Etinosa Reuben and Makius Scott (both DL) have earned single-digit numbers. Not sure if this staff is keeping with the previous arrangement of awarding single digit numbers to top performers, but those are 2 names I hadn't seen much in...

This is a great point, and one that I keep considering. GT is worth a lot now due to linear TV contract arrangements. As you said, it's worth a lot, just based on the surrounding population - even before viewership. That's huge, and a big reason why the Big 10 approached us 10 years ago. (And...

I'll give you LSU and Clemson. One loss and one win (over a ranked team, but in a bowl game - I apparently didn't qualify "regular season" when I first made my statement). However, Florida and Oklahoma each finished 6-6 in the regular season last year (and 6-7 including their bowls). IMO...

After reading through 6 pages of everyone's arguments on whether it's preferable to schedule cupcake OOC opponents or strong OOC opponents, I just have to say: Girls, you're both pretty. Seriously. There are cases to be made for each. One that really sticks with me is the narrative that "CU...

+1. Was a good rivalry - and hosted one of the best pranks in college football in 1896. I'm still ticked off at the Belk Bowl for polling fans who they wanted in the 2018 Belk Bowl, and getting a resounding reply of GT-Auburn. GT fans, Auburn fans, and the general CFB landscape wanted that...

Fun fact: FSU (the self-anointed "jewel" of the conference) beat 0 ranked teams last year.

This. I see this as well. I agree that TFG didn't handle adversity well - his press conference approach seemed to be "repeat how you want things to be enough times until it comes true." The vibe I get currently (and it's just a vibe - nothing concrete to base it on but 40+ years' experience...
