I don't disagree with most all of that. The first couple games, I agree, mostly practicing and trying out lots of things. Washington needed to be different, and for the most part I was happy with what we saw on offense. I agree with you about the concerns about the D-line, that's the biggest...
Wow, within Ohio and you don't have BTN??? That's surprising, where in Ohio?
I've had Time Warner in Dallas for several years. Have had Versus for all of that time, although they USED to share it with the Golf Channel about 50/50, went to fulltime for both a while back. Have had BTN the...
Yep. The big problems the rest of the Big-Remainders conference has with the LHN really boil down to two things, and neither one is the revenue stream. That was known from the beginning. In order of importance:
The showing of high school content - of any kind, although primarily football...
Nice to see even some of the local Texas sportswriters realizing what many of us have known for some time - and eating a little crow even! This from Randy Galloway of the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram, who has been firmly in Texas' pocket in the past...
Exactly... Which is why I'm thrilled that my Huskers are in the Big Ten. Amazing how many Big XII area sportswriters are coming out of the woodwork to reverse themselves and admit that Nebraska made a fantastic decision and move last year...
I'm about 3-4 pages behind in this exploding thread, so this may have been mentioned already. The thing that could likely force Notre Dame's hand is not money or BCS, its football scheduling issues. The B1G is already going to 9 conference games, lopping off one non-conference game per year...
I think Tom Osborne has been quoted as saying he was expecting the majority of fans to be glad about the announcement, but that the actual support after the announcement last year was probably 90-95%, which was higher than he had expected, and was quite gratifying to him.
After the last week or...
kanton - this was recently posted by a helpful local on the Husker board that I frequent. The City of Lincoln actually sells parking passes for quite a few lots in advance via the website. I see at least one lot which specifically says "RV" and you can buy & reserve your spot right now. I...
First, may I apologize on behalf of the newbie Husker fan (all of 6 posts) who started this diversion from the thread topic of Nebraska Cornhusker FOOTBALL. One of the things that I really enjoy about BuckeyePlanet is how the threads very seldom devolve into arguments & fights about unrelated...
Glad to see some of the Buck's fans calling them on this. I was tempted, but as a Husker fan I'm a guest so decided to hold my tongue, but you're right - thanks!
Haha! That's right, the SEC has the only tough schedules, even though they pad them by playing most of their non-con games against the likes of The Citadel or similar. :D
EDIT: Wait, the Gators used to play The Citadel. Sorry, they've replaced them with Furman - along with UAB and Florida...
"Anyone in the B10 has a tough schedule." Well, maybe so, but not everyone has to play all three of the toughest half of the opposing division and none of the bottom half. As an example, Iowa avoids playing either tOSU or Wiscy this year. That's my point.
You're certainly entitled to your...

Notable commentary from the article:
You can argue whether they're too high or not - not going to try to argue that point with you. As for "train wreck of a head coach" I think most will disagree. But "a pretty favorable schedule?" Really? Most sports writers have pointed out how the "welcome to the B1G" schedule we were given...
Now the Longhorn Network ESPN wants to try yet again to broadcast high school sporting events - this time as highlights. As the school official was quoted as saying in the article, "What part of NO don't they understand?"
The official NCAA interpretation, published August 11, reads: "The...
I believe the "kid" is generally a minor when that contract is first instituted, and as such is not legally able to enter into a contract, so its between the institution and the kid's parent/guardian, on a strictly legal basis.
OK, thanks. As I said, not trying to start an argument. If you go back 100 years, then I see your point. I tend to say the leather-helmet, pre-WWII records are a little irrelevant at this point because that really was an entirely different game, but yeah maybe I'm biased, because admittedly...
As I already posted, I think tOSU and Nebraska have very similar track records. With the glaring exception of the 4 lost seasons with Callahan, they've been much more consistent over the last 50 years than Oklahoma.
Not wanting to start an argument, just asking - why do you think Oklahoma is a...
