Vote early and often!!!

As a lifelong Washington fan and Cowboys hater, I want to start a Jerry Jones appreciation thread, for the apparent hire of Brian Shotenhiemer(I know I butchered the spelling). The Cowboys OC, who wasn’t a candidate anywhere, and didn’t call plays.
Jerry ensures the spotlight stays on him!!! Thank you Jerry and “How Bout Them Cowboys”!!! GBR

Such an awkward situation. I could see buttholes clinching up with every second and someone definitely lost their job. But she kicked ass and said fvck it, "I'm going acapella". She's sung for both sides so this isn't political. Just cool to watch.

Finalizing deal to be coach of da Bears.

Lets get it on!!!!!

Cam played lights out for the Eagles today!

The pride and joy of Beatrice, Nebraska!

The final Rivals250 rankings for the Class of 2025 are cemented. A link to the full rankings list is below. But I'll go ahead and get this out of the way now. There were six Nebraska signees who were in the previous Rivals250. All six of them were dropped multiple spots in the final rankings. So let that fire breathe ITT. This thread is the ceremonial screaming pillow.

WR Cortez Mills

• Overall rank: 86
• Previous rank: 80
• Total drop: -6

LB Christian Jones

• Overall rank: 102
• Previous rank: 86
• Total drop: -16

QB TJ Lateef

• Overall rank: 142
• Previous rank: 140
• Total drop: -2

WR Isaiah Mozee

• Overall rank: 174
• Previous rank: 168
• Total drop: -6

RB Jamarion Parker

• Overall rank: 176
• Previous rank: 173
• Total drop: -3

OT Julian Marks

• Overall rank: 242
• Previous rank: 238
• Total drop: -4

If Nebraska was in the ACC or Big12 I believe they would have won the championship or at least been in the top 3 of the conference. It's like the BIG and SEC are class A and the ACC and Big12 are class B.

B1G 2024 Penalties per team

The link is to a Google Sheet I put together showing B1G play for all of 2024.
When the team in column A played a team in row 2, the team in row 2 had 'X' penalties that game. Sums are at the bottom and far right.

1) Iowa was the most disciplined (or favored by refs) team with 26 penalties for 257 yards.
2) UCLA was the least disciplined (or disfavored by refs) with 75 penalties for 617 yards.
3) Ohio St's opponents were called for the fewest penalties when playing them with 27 for 231. Were the refs gunning for Ohio St. to lose and trying to help their opponents?
4) Maryland's opponents were called for the most penalties when playing them with 62 for 562. Were the refs trying to help Maryland?

What I'm really saying is that I hear a lot of "THE BIG 10 REFS ARE HORRIBLE! THEY ARE SCREWING US OVER...", but the data is what it is. UCLA, Maryland, Nebraska and Wisconsin were the least disciplined teams during conference play based on the stats. Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and Ohio State were the most disciplined teams.

Feel free to share your thoughts on this.

A fifth-straight loss found Nebraska on Wednesday night as USC left Lincoln with a win.

"Toughness. Staying together. Sticking to our roots," Brice Williams answered when asked what the biggest issues facing the team are right now. "We've done a poor job of that, and it showed tonight. It showed in my leadership. It showed up in a lot of ways, and when it comes down to winning time, can't really have certain mistakes. And the mistakes we had, they've just been compounded from game to game to game to game, and that's why we're on this streak."

Looks like Andrew Morgan will be questionable for tonight’s game against USC while walk-on Justin Bolis is out.

Tipoff is slated for 8 p.m. inside Pinnacle Bank Arena. The game will be shown on BTN with Kevin Kugler and Shon Morris on the call.

Morgan had 17 points at Maryland and has scored double figures in four of his last six games.

If Morgan can’t go, that’s a big hit to the Huskers’ chances tonight. He’s been effective in the post.
