I will take a slightly different take on the subject. Baylor is totally irrelevant to the University of Nebraska. He CHOSE to attend and play for a rival program. He should have total access to Creighton sports. He should take his new buddies to a Creighton soccer game and be warmly welcomed. He should also be allowed to PURCHASE a ticket like any other Jaysker. However, someone in our athletic department made a bone headed decision to provide him access to the Nebraska playing field to show off to his new cronies. He also had access to players that were being recruited to Nebraska. Now am I going to lose sleep about this...heck no. But giving the dude access to a Husker playing field, when we are playing a rival, in one of the biggest games in recent years, just seems SO wrong. Just saying...

Baylor showed up with Derrick White, who's from Denver and played at Colorado. So my heart wants to believe Nebraska told Baylor to pound sand, and he had to go run to his teammate to get sideline passes.

If you look at any of the media of Scheierman, he was on the Colorado side so actually, yeah.

It will be good to get the Hoosiers out of the way early. Indiana should be really good this year. Hopefully they will walk into PBA ranked in the top 25.

I'd read it as a sign that Baylor would have been a Husker had Fred been able to get the program on track faster. Football regaining relevance can't hurt in us winning the recruiting battle in the state. Let's get the next guys.

The 2nd half was a Clown Show by the refs. It got to the point where I was pleading for the Big 10 to sub out their refs. Colorado did not get called for holding in the 2nd half. This includes the time the Colorado OL literally grabbed the Nebraska's DL by the jersey. There was a time Rahimer got called for a block in the back and he didn't even touch the Colorado guy. The refs probably cost us 2 more scores in the 2nd half. Colorado had it's share of questionable calls, like the roughing the passer. But, like Rhule said we had far more go against us. It got to the point where me and a buddy would joke on a big play that there was going to be a flag. Sure enough, there was.

Now, that was fun! That first half was an unbelievable display of quality husker football. The second half was more or less, not great football. But what the hell, a fantastic, feel good, win!

I'm with you. Outside of the top 75-100 players, guys have to develop. If you want to know next year's new guys, just as well watch mid majors.

Am I alone in paying less attention to high school recruiting in the current state of college basketball? Seems like freshmen aren't going to play much any more because of transfers, and so few recruits are going to stay more than a year or two. I don't look at the recruits and any more say, "wow, he could really be something in a couple of years." Old man's musings.
