How's it going Lois?

A lot of one-score games that year and as much as I didn't hold Brewster responsible for everything that went wrong, I think his lack of experience (and trying to put square pegs in round holes with a completely new system) showed up throughout the season. Wisconsin has had injury issues, but I...

Agree. There's the saying that goes "He's a bastard, but he's our bastard" that probably sums up how a solid percentage of the Cornhusker fan base felt about Pelini until he dumped on the fans during an interview (or maybe it was just a hot mic). There's no question that the guy could coach...

Agree. There's a recency bias when looking at the state of the Cornhuskers. Solich had a .753 winning percentage, but had trouble winning the Big 12 so they let him go after the 2023 season. They hired Bill Callahan and he didn't do as well and they fired him after three seasons. Bo Pelini...

Thanks. Just seemed different.

I think the big difference between tOSU's trouncing of us and their trouncing of Wisconsin is that Wisconsin's defense held up a little better for some reason. tOSU just speed-boated us.

I don't know if Fickell will have enough time to talk to his team at halftime after getting fellated by Gary Danielson.

Is Underwood's cousin doing the commentary on Fox? Listening to him, you'd think Underwood is the favorite to win the Heisman as a freshman.

I was way off in my prediction in which I predicted a comfortable win for Nebraska. Gophers are a head-scratcher to some extent. I get that this is a bit of a transitional year, but I can't believe we let guys like Raymond and Mackobee run all over us and then held first-team All-American...

Only way to go! I hope you smuggled in a half-pint of your favorite strong alcoholic beverage and it was gone by halftime. That's the way I used to travel.

I thought of that comparison as well. It would be awesome if that materializes.

Nebraska 35 Gophers 21 Nebraska's Emmet Johnson outgains Darius Taylor and Mike Max goes on interminably about how the Gophers didn't recruit Johnson.

Well, they used to be. Hard to believe this is true at a level, but in our sports-crazed win-at-all-costs and ignoring any sense of decemcy it's par for the course. For the record, I thought Franklin was a decent coach although I found him a bit over-the-top at times.

I just got back from my proctologist. He said that there was a lot of good on the film. I still had some nasty-looking hemorrhoids, but he thought there would be more when he first took a look.

I think it's a combination of recency bias and the current saturation of sports in the national media environment. When a highly-recruited guy failed in the past, the reaction was almost always localized. Since the nationalization of fan bases, reactions are now larger. I take no joy in...

After watching Brosmer druing the Vikings's pre-season (which may not qualify as actual football) I wonder if we ever really got to see the entirety of his game last year. There was a jump up in competition and Fleck loves an efficient game manager, but I saw Brosmer launch a couple of longer...

100%. The downside of getting more exposure is that the player opens themselves up to more scrutiny and every mistake is seen by a larger audience.

True on the need for money, but the other element is playing for a helmet school increases a player's exposure. That can be either good or bad, but it has to be considered.

Kind of Christian Hackenberg redux. Highly-ranked out of HS and obviously talented, but something missing from their games. For all their success, Penn State hasn't been blessed with top-tier QB play.

I really have to disagree. If you put something on X/Twitter, it's like you are havig a press conference. Maybe a little press conference, but a alert to the press nonetheless. If may be shoddy journalism on Greder's part, but one would think that Kaliakmanis the Elder would realize in a...
