Looks like Scott Satterfield going up the road to Cincinnati. Always an interesting time of the year.

A few things not being discussed (to my knowledge anyway):

Expecting players to play another 3-4 games after their conference championship. That will allow too many more intense games for injuries. This does not bode well for any team short on depth, like a Cinderella team who could upset somebody once, but will never make it through a gauntlet. It also will not settle who the best team is. Likely there will be a great team who's QB and/or other impact player(s) get hurt, and after the playoff games it will be "They really were the best team all season, but their QB got hurt in that second playoff game." It will not settle, but only change the conversation, about who the best teams really were.

And secondly how do they plan to get star players to play an extra four games, further risking their pro career, with no extra money? I expect a union to be created, and players to get a big chunk of the money. Then we will get the holdout drama of pro sports every couple of years.

And does anyone really think any team outside the top teams every year, really have a chance anyway? (No, they don't.)

Besides that, teams with the most depth will win these wars of attrition. Say hello to the same 3-4 teams winning it every year, like it is now. Including worse teams with weaker rosters will not change anything. It will amplify it.

CFB is killing the golden goose by always chasing the dollar. Know enough when to leave it alone.

Rejoice. My Jaysker friends are on the verge of suicide.

Gbr

If we are still struggling after year 3 people will be hot.

… would be smart to double your prices on Chardonnay.

Gonna be a ton of sweater vest dildos needing to pound it by the barrel tonight!!!

Woo Hoo!!!

GBR Forever!

Based on some postings here, the text messages, emails and phone calls I received yesterday, I was beginning to believe Deion Sanders was named the new Head Football Coach at Nebraska.

But I’m happy this guy is:

We can and will do better.

Louisiana running back Arnold Barnes has left the recruiting class. No real shock here.

Just saw that Zatechka is leaving Missouri. Not sure if we’ll go after him or not but someone of interest nonetheless.

I watched some of the Reivers' playoff game last night vs. a higher-seeded Northeast Mississippi and they just mauled them in a 33-12 victory. Spent some time looking at IW's roster, just loaded with kids from all over the place but espescially the southeastern recruiting hotbeds of Florida, Georgia, etc. Particularly of note was how IW's offensive line gets after it. Pure aggression. Caleb Jones from Beatrice is a 6'4" 300lb freshman that starts at RG. With the kind of talent that this JUCO has right in our backyard it's pretty crazy that we've basically ignored them. I hope Rhule develops a relationship there and is looking at that roster.

Rough day on the plantation.

Omaha Westside kicker Tristan Alvano was among the in-state prospect in Lincoln on Sunday. There should be no worries if he is still a priority for Nebraska after this interview. He had a very good first impression of the staff that is in place so far. Hit the link...

The team to the west is gonna be dangerous. If he hires the right staff, it might actually work. I think he could be a little green, a la Frost, but far more relatable. Just don’t overpromise and underdeliver...

3 straight wins over the Chiefs.

From OSU, not The OSU. 6'2, 230 lbs all Big 12 LB. I think he'd fit right in to what Rhule and staff want on D. Here's hoping we can land 5-7 impact players from the 15 or so that we attempt to bring in.

With Walker in the lineup, these guys can be a fairly dangerous team - no, not good enough to make the big boys sweat, but they will win some games in the B1G this year, hoping at least 6.

The former Nebraska OC/QB/RB coach is about to make the next leap in his career with his first head coaching job. And he's about to become (almost) a $1 million man.

Watching the game over the internet. Someone tell about these teams.

I know nothing about Gretna or Westide. I'm more knowledgeable of Class D towns.
