OSU 72 NU 68

Nebraska was tired of getting beaten by Michigan.

Who had Thor, Nana and Malcolm playing tonight?

That'll work.

Both. I've paraphrased, of course, and added modern references as well as the idea that basketball could adopt the same plan. The idea was to just get rid of the hypocrisy and call major college football what it is: a developmental league for the big boys. If we're going to go the way of free agency, then why not? The NFL could pay, but also would then have some say in how players are allotted and placed. The voucher could be good anywhere within that system of major universities.

This is something that Rick Telander posited in his book "The Hundred Yard Lie" back in 1989: Let's just end the charade that major-college football and men's basketball at the top 100 universities has anything to do with academics. Make the NFL and NBA pay for the development of these players, and give the players vouchers to attend school now or after their playing careers are done. You can still have a team called the "Nebraska Cornhuskers" playing at PBA or Memorial Stadium, but the players aren't necessarily students at the local university. They're apprentices learning how to play professional basketball or football, earning a stipend ($50,000 per year?) to do so, and moving up to the big time (or moving back to the real world/school with the rest of us) when they prove ready. True "college" football and basketball would be played at what are now the mid-majors, FCS and lower-division schools.

NU 47-34 midway through the third.

There's this woman named Doyle, too, who's not too bad.

Beating Maryland is important because it's a home game we should win, but it could also be the difference between us and them if either team gets that far.

You're not old. You're my age ... oh, crap. I'm old.

Mich 75 Neb 71

What's all this fuss I keep hearing about Ken Porn?

Or at Ohio State, but we have a better shot at home vs. Michigan, so you're right.

Yep. It was odd. But it all evened out.

Seven-man rotation outside of a combined nine minutes from Duby and Tanner. Hard to imagine that's sustainable, especially because we have five more games in the next 14 days.

Roby's line 35 minutes 9 points 10 boards 4 steals 2 assists 2 blocks 5-6 FTs 2-4 FGs

And ... scene.

We just got outboarded 46-29 by Illinois. He may not play, but a 6-11 guy in the middle for 10-15 minutes would help.

True. Everybody in the Big Ten, with the exception of Purdue and Ohio State, seems to be teetering between good and not-so-good. MSU has been mysterious, but they're in a funk, no doubt. Hell, even Iowa has some life.

"GOOOTTTTT ITTTTTTTT!!!!!!"

Here's to Evan Taylor! Hip Hip ...

You know, Illinois has had it kind of tough this year. It's almost Nebrasketball-ish, their six losses in conference: three OT losses and tonight's killer. Man.

Go Big Red, brother. You're right. Michigan's toast.

Uh, you're a Nebrasketball fan. You should never have confidence. That's not what we do.
