Reading Trev’s comments got me thinking about why the replay officials have been so bad. The only logical conclusion I can come up with, besides just pure incompetence, is that they are instructed not to overturn calls in order to protect the officials on the field.

If the majority of the replays align with the call on the field, then it gives the impression that the officials are doing a good job. On the contrary if you start overturning calls then it highlights how bad the officials are.

Anyone watch the panderverse? Pretty funny.

@king_kong_ - trigger warning. They make fun of Disney stock crashing 🤣🤣

Too bad they couldn't fit games against Alabama and Ohio St into it.

Who'd like a smile on every pile, tonight?

SIAP - One site posted today that they confirmed KSU’s QB Will Howard is in the Portal. He looked pretty decent in the games I saw him in.

Now that Matt Rhule is sporting a 70s porn star fu manchu, his team will be hard to beat next year.

I believe this is why Carlon Jones becomes very intriguing for Ohio State!!!!

I spoke with a source about Tony White and both the Syracuse and San Diego State head coach openings last night and this morning. This is the same source who was accurate throughout the Huskers’ head coach search and in Rhule’s search to fill out his staff (accurate on Satterfield to be hired as OC, Jake Peetz staying in the NFL, the new WR coach coming from the NFL, Rob Dvoracek being hired as LB coach).

I'll keep this purposely vague but will share the most important info: Things are lining up well for Tony White to stay with Nebraska. There wasn't much traction between White and the Syracuse opening, and the Orange are now set to announce Georgia DBs coach Fran Brown as the next head coach any day now (perhaps as soon as today).

As for the SDSU opening: According to Kirk Kenney of the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Aztecs interviewed White for their HC opening over the weekend. I read Kirk's report. It's behind a paywall, so I provided the link but won't share all of it. Per his report, it sounds like SDSU would much prefer to go in the direction of bringing in an offensive-minded head coach. A defensive-minded coach like White is still in the running, but it appears that the program and its AD have prioritized targeting an offense-leaning coach to fix an SDSU unit that has finished bottom-third in the country in scoring offense in four of the last six seasons.

That offensive-leaning preference by the SDSU brass lines up with what my source has told me in regard to Tony White's candidacy there. He may be a finalist, but he is not getting much traction at SDSU and was also not a finalist for the Syracuse opening. I haven't heard anything on White in regard to any other HC openings (such as New Mexico). In regard to the San Diego State and Syracuse openings, though, things are lining up well right now for him to stay with Nebraska as the Huskers' DC.

Thoughts? Just curious. He’s a FR and looked pretty good actually in the few games I saw him play. Thought he looked really good in their game at PSU.

MODS... why did this get taken down? Big-10 football thread. Assuming it was mods that took it down, just wanting to clarify the ever-confusing rules on where any lines in the sand exist. Seems to shift daily.

Some IU friends are claiming Jon Gruden to IU - that would be interesting! Chuckie would be a headline creating hire

7 years without a bowl.

18 one possession lost games in 3 years. 19 really when you count the 2021 Ohio St game. (check my math. Did a quick count)

The college football gods hate us because us leaving the Big-12 derailed college football.

Safety from Indiana in the portal. I understand secondary isn’t our concern but dude should’ve been on the all conference team and was arguably IU’s best defender this year

Listening to 810 out of KC this morning and they have Gary Barnett on once a week. They brought up Howard transferring and he said I bet a team to the north of Manhattan would love to have him and the KC guys responded that there was smoke about Nebraska when he announced down there.

Henrich took to Instagram today to say he's going to "hang up the cleats" after five seasons playing linebacker at Nebraska.

Henrich played in 35 games (22 starts) and racked up 204 career tackles. He fought back from a 2022 ACL injury and had 42 stops this season before re-injuring the knee this season in the overtime at Wisconsin. This year he had 42 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss and two sacks with one pass breakup.
