    So, what are your plans after halftime tomorrow?

    Football doesn't dominate my life like it used to. I watch plenty still, but there's too many things that actually matter to worry too much about whether getting beat by 14 saves more face than getting beat by 27. I'll have the game on and we'll be snacking on some good food but we usually are...

    If you were Troy Dannen…

    If I were an AD I'd have a short list for sure, Dannen doesn't have an unlimited ability to write checks so he probably is going to have to work the booster network.

    If you were Troy Dannen…

    There's a lot of tough talk in this thread that if the AD sits down and threatens a coach in year 2 that his job might go away if certain things don't happen.... Evidence says it rarely plays out like that. For one it's an idle threat, because Matt Rhule (any coach) is making enough money on...

    OT: Why is Warren Buffet always ahead of the game?

    Sure the entire spectrum of Americans receive some sort of govt cheese, but for 99% of groups identified, it's a rounding error in the overall financial situation. I don't have the numbers in front of me but I suspect we could axe most if not all discretionary spending and still be borderline...

    OT: Why is Warren Buffet always ahead of the game?

    Social security and medicare are half of all federal spending. The interest on the debt is another huge chunk, as is defense. Half of defense spending is veterans benefits. The bottom line is that the USG spends the vast majority of its money keeping old people alive. Whatever party you...

    Universities Set To Pay Athletes?

    Universities Set To Pay Athletes?

    I wonder if in the long run this will hurt NU nil efforts. If Nebraskans shift donations from private collectives into direct university coffers, will they necessarily feel the need to keep the collective operating at high level. We have shown resistance to being on the leading edge of pay in...

    Friday Night Game at Home

    Lot of folks be like I can’t wait till we win that natty and we tell the league wassup. I don’t think they realize it’s not 1982 and that’s not going to happen. The network executives run cfb now and America top athletes currently play three nights a week on a rotating basis so the league can...

    Memorial Stadium upgrades after 2026 from A.D Troy Dannen

    I’m no fan of Iowa and they have tended to be a five hundred ish team historically. But they’ve given some high end teams a run for their money. If seats could deliver aspirations we wouldn’t have been lost for the last 20 years. I think if I were the ad I’d have to look at the trade off...

    Friday Night Game at Home

    Also just as a fan of the sport, I think it’s great I can watch pro or major CFB four nights a week minimum in the fall. Makes coming home from work all the more enjoyable.

    Friday Night Game at Home

    Yah a few are claiming Dannen doesn’t get Nebraska but I think it’s too early to tell. In this instance I think most fans will back it. Personally if I have to watch a mid level big ten game I’d rather do it on Friday night than Saturday at 11am. Nebraska can be good regardless of the...

    Memorial Stadium upgrades after 2026 from A.D Troy Dannen

    I don't think this is necessarily true. Iowa has played with the big boys for years with various strong teams and they fill out about 70K. Of all the bonehead games they've dropped over the years, they've never lost because they spotted the other team 20K fans. The true test of whether...

    Football walk-on programs potentially eliminated?

    As this minor league continues to form, walk-ons are increasingly men without a country. No one wants to pay for them, because most of them aren't very good and wouldn't play very much, so they wouldn't be rostered. So now the question is, do they die out altogether, or can they be morphed into...

    Friday Night Game at Home

    I think it's largely a non-issue. Fans have obviously chosen the more money route across football. More playoffs, more big time matchups, more money to players, more gambling opportunities, etc. You know what big money doesn't care about? Freaking 8 man high school games in Nebraska. Or any...
