Not to be a pessimistic lad; but unless we can solve our offensive line woes, it may not matter who starts in the skill positions...

This is true

This would be a good week to give Casey Thompson another week of rest. Hope NU is able to scratch out wins with C.T. at the helm in the final 2 weeks of the season. Michigan isn't the time to bring back your hurting QB, that's for certain...

F Iowa

Good win.  Now let the fun begin.

To see their fans whining and booing after the game was worth it.

Some Iowa fans were "fighting" over the trophy and refusing to let the Husker players pick it up. How petty those grown adults are fighting with 20 year old kids

Finally putting an end to this debacle.

Updated Coach Joseph's record.

Shouldn't Mickey's record be 3-6? Are you counting the OU loss to Frost?

Good catch. Somehow forgot Frost was fired after Georgia Southern and not the Oklahoma blowout.

I had to stop and think of when Mickey took over.

[HuskerFever]

Well...that's something.

College football has now become college baseball:

Nebraska wins at every... except on the field/court.

It seems Notre Dame is trying to speak on behalf of all of college football teams:

 

“At Notre Dame, revenue from football and men’s basketball goes to support 24 other varsity sports, including, most important, women’s sports — most of which did not exist on college campuses before 1972,” Jenkins and Swarbrick write.

 

So, basically, the skills, abilities, and sacrifices of the young men who play football and basketball are subsidizing sports that can’t generate enough money to justify their existence. How is that even remotely fair to the football and basketball players?

 

That’s why they want to restrict NIL payments. By pointing that cash from the players and back to the players, it helps preserve a football/basketball windfall that can be redirected to other aspects of the school’s budget.

 

Along the way, Jenkins and Swarbrick have a specific request for the NFL.

 

“To ensure that players arrive at college only after making an informed choice — and a real commitment to learning — we urge the [NFL] to establish a minor league alternative for young players,” they write.
