Who wants to expand the playoffs when these are supposedly your four best teams? Talk about massive dilution of matchups with expansion.

 

I get why they want to do it/will do it. But this particular case is terrible.

Isn't it odd, that you rarely see these types of blow outs in the basketball tournament???

A painful reminder that at one time Nebraska beat a Tennessee team with Peyton Manning this BAD, not some Bum from Council Bluffs…

The real beatdown happened two years earlier on quarterback Steve Spurrier.

It’s funny that Florida & Tennessee went on to Win the Title the year AFTER we thumped them. If you’ll recall Florida was a heavy favorite even tho we’d lost 1 game in 3 years.

My recollection many brain cells ago was Florida opened up as a touchdown favorite and by game day, Huskers were favored by at least 3.5.  However, all the national pundits were calling for a Florida blowout.  Could be wrong...

Very true, but also that Michigan tcu game was a normal bowl upset after not playing a game for almost a month. But last night was a Georgia in rhythm after playing the week before. I would be willing to bet that once expansion happens a lot of these higher seeded teams with byes lose their first games to teams that won the week before.

You’re right, Corso, Sports Illustrated picked a Florida Win. It’s worth mentioning that could’ve easily been the third of FIVE National Titles in a row…

They let us go up on stage to meet Corso and James one morning after they were done filming, as there weren’t a lot of us there that morning. I shook both of their hands and told Corso he was wrong, and there was no way Nebraska was losing this game.  His response was, yeah, you’re probably right.  I responded with, there is no probably, we are absolutely winning this game.


It’s funny they showed that Sega game, because I played a full season during my Christmas break, and I ended up playing Florida in the Fiesta bowl.  Nebraska won that game something like 70-28.  I told myself well, that wasn’t very realistic.  There’s no way we’re winning in a blow out like that.  We’ll, I guess I was wrong about that one.

 

That game was by far the best sporting event I’ve ever been to.

Yep, best team ever & I was also there to witness their dismantling of Spurrier's Fun-N-Gun. It was a thing of beauty.

If I were Trev Alberts, I'd be on the phone with Chris Beard now to see if he'd have any interest in coaching at Nebraska should the season finish up without NU reaching any post season yet again?  Unless he ends up in jail, I'd take him to try and turn NU hoops program around.

Yeah, no I'm very good on that one.

So he made a mistake (allegedly) when we don't even know all the facts yet.  But coaches like Sean Miller, Kelvin Sampson, etc. have all cheated or done bad things and still coaching and doing very well with their respective schools.  I'd take a coach with a little bit of baggage that can make NU a winning basketball program as opposed to keep being a cellar dweller.  Chris Beard is an extremely good coach and will end up coaching again somewhere depending on how his case turns out.

If you're going to make this type of argument, please list other coaches that have allegedly committed domestic assault, not guys who sent too many texts before that was legal or allegedly paid for players before that was legal.

Again, we don't know all the details of the situation yet so I'll wait to case judgment till we know all the facts.  So by your logic, Lawrence Phillips should have been kicked to the curb and not allowed a 2nd chance?

What I'm saying is that you are comparing Beard, a man arrested for something in his personal life, to coaches that got in trouble with the NCAA and that they are two very different things. You don't seem to understand that Beard is in the Dave Bliss zone.  

At some point Beard will get a second chance because he's very good at winning basketball games but try 5+ years at a tiny Texas school, not here.
