Especially when you consider the metro population is about 13 million.

I am amazed that it lasted this long. Not because the team is not as good as it used to be but other factors. First, in the old days, NU would be on TV maybe 3 or 4 times a year. Now they are on every week. Now I can watch every game without fighting traffic, freezing my butt off or sweating...

Ohio has been playing great ball since Solich left. However, they lost their HC and almost all their offense. I don't see any way they can put it together enough to be in this game. NU is favored by about 4 tds in this game.

DR was a good QB but not a great QB. He was not a feature QB who could take over a game. He was not that guy who could pull victory out of defeat. Any criticism on the O-line can't be made without a large amount of the blame being put on Uncle Don. In truth, DR spent too much time trying to...

My take on HC hiring is that it should be based on personality, work ethic and cultural fit more than win/loss record. Personality is necessary to recruit and shmooze fans and backers. That personality also needs to be humble enough to admit failure and make changes. Work ethic, you need to...

Actually, I think Riley was the best game coach we had. His teams scored on the first possession in nearly every game. He made the opponents adjust to his game. I also feel a lot of the second half meltdowns was due to lack of depth. Simply put, other teams simply wore us down. It was like...

I agree with everything you say except Frost being a homerun hire. More than a few people said he wasn't ready, even Moos said he didn't want to hire him. I think too many fans drank the Kool-Aid because he was a home boy.

When I try to come up with a parallel for NU and the string of coaches it has hired between Osborne and Rhule, the only thing that comes to mind is the hot girl who always brings home a loser boyfriend. Barry Alverez, Nick Saben, Gary Patterson and others all say they were interested in...

I'm kinda in the other camp. I see Lindenmeyer is playing well and getting a lot of positive press and high expectations. It must mean Satt is doing something right.

I like the Mad Dog Vachon pile driver or the Sleeper for counter moves.

Not fo be Mr. Obvious, but one thing for sure is Dylan had no aversion with the food at Nebraska.

The Baron is directly responsible for getting me in trouble. I put "The Claw" on my 4-year-old grandson. He liked it so much he put "The Claw" on some other kids at his daycare. This got his mother a call which she didn't appreciate. Some people have no sense of humor.

I have to agree, up to a point. Wisconsin and Iowa as well used the power run game to win a lot of games. However, it didn't take them to the NC level. Using this format, they will always be second tier teams. To me that would be like going back to the Pelini era. Beating the cupcakes and...

I am not downplaying the importance of the O-line. But it is not the same now. In NU's hay day, they had 290 lb O-linemen up against 250 lb D-linemen. The size difference allowed the O to wear them down. The D linemen are as big as the O now and usually more athletic. It is rare to see a...

Osborne's formula was to be the most physical team on the field, control the LOS and the clock with a great O-line and stingy defenses that made you earn every yard. This all meshed together so they almost always owned the fourth quarter. Due to rule changes and the explosive talent that is...

I can't believe Alabama is not high on this list. I'd put Georgia and Boise St on the list as well.

I feel your pain. My wife can't pass up buying a pink shirt. I probably have 10 that I have never worn.

Everyone needs a challenge. My wife has been trying to fashion educate me for over 40 years.

Happy Birthday, I hope you are having a great one. Wishing you many happy returns as well.

Everyone chokes every once in a while, but to choke in every one of these games is mind baffling. It shows complete lack of leadership. They need to learn that in order to win, all you have to do is do your job. Nothing extra is needed, just do your job.
