Yep. They do no good to any conference they're in.

I've talked about this for years on Husker forums. Basically, the Athletic Directors at KSU, Kansas & Iowa State conspired to marginalize and contain Nebraska with the complicity of Texas and the SWC refugees. There's a pretty good interview of Wefald from the Manhattan (KS) Mercury where he...

Common complaint in Lincoln was that Beck would find a play that works, then shelve it for the rest of the game. Was Beck the sole play-caller against Sparty? Does Warriner call plays?

I'm still alive and well. Haven't visited much because we haven't played the Buckeyes in a couple of years. I need to hang around here more, though.

That's a good-looking group of folks right there. Looks like the Perdoot game?

Why are the Iowegians referenced in the Nebraska thread title? We don't care enough about them to tell them to eff off. Wisconsonians - now, those are people we can get behind telling to eff off. Not that they'd pay any attention to us, since we barely register on their radar.

Congratulations on your National Championship, Buckeyes fans. You did the conference proud.

While it would be better (from a pure financial perspective) not to pay that money, we can more than afford it, and it's the honorable thing to do. The only thing to do. I hope Bo uses that money to ensure the comfort and well-being of his family, and that they prosper as a result.

This is a rumor promulgated by our former Big 8 brethren, Kansas, Kansas State and Iowa State. I have never heard this from any source in Lincoln. It is an old wives' tale from fans of teams we beat upwards of 20 years in a row.

100% yes. Which underscores why it was a good thing to remove him from his position. I hate to pass along rumors, but it becomes more believable after hearing his comments to these players - When (former Nebraska)(former Pitt) Athletic Director Steve Pederson fired Pelini in 2003, Bo...

Answering those bullet points: Riley will have a honeymoon period (much like Bo, much like Callahan), but Nebraskans have a difficult time overcoming the mental barrier of nine wins per season. Most know it's a relic of a bygone era, but it holds weight regardless. If Riley fails to win nine...

It's been pretty chaotic the last year-ish on HuskerBoard. I could use some prayers.

Regarding Riley... most of us are in wait-and-see mode. Nobody is blown away by this hire. When I saw the university's tweet welcoming him to the Nebraska coaching family, my first thought was that he must be an assistant for baseball. Had to google him to figure out who he was. He wasn't...

Bashing that raccoon was pretty normal for kids in rural Nebraska. His timeline of trying to pick up a live coon for a picture, THEN bashing its skull in, is a little suspect. Guys on HuskerBoard speculate he was after the hide (could be worth $25 according to people in the know) and took the...

In the nation? Oregon. In the Big Ten? Nebraska.

Hey folks. Not new here, but haven't been around for a while. Just wanted to stop in and say congratulations on your Big Ten win, for scaring Gary Andersen out of the conference, and to wish you good luck against Alabama.

Hey guys. Checking in to say I'm really sorry to hear about Braxton's injury. Here's hoping it seems worse than it is and he's able to play. He's a good player and a good kid, and the whole conference benefits if he plays.

Congratulations on the big win.

How do you expect to beat a team being taught this kind of defense? That's impenetrable. And that concludes Nebraska's (and my) hoops contribution for the year. We're irrelevant, the Buckeyes weren't playing to their potential, we all know this, it's not like it means a lot. It's...

It was always going to be a mostly meaningless game. Same opponent as last year, even with the win Nebraska likely won't be ranked, and the win won't erase our four losses or the overall blah season. But it's a damned sight better to end the year with a win than a loss, that's for sure. :cool:
