    "Resources are not the question here at Nebraska"

    Eichorst was clear that we would be willing to spend whatever it took to get the best possible staff in place, yet we just hired a guy near the bottom of the Power 5 pay scale. Riley makes $1.5 million. It's probably safe to say he would be happy with $2.5 million, leaving huge funds available...

    Bo's defense without elite talent

    "You look at [the candidates'] individual strengths and then you look at what it appears the program needs, and the greatest concern to me was defense-- the ability to stop people." -Tom Osborne, introducing Bo Pelini on December 1, 2007. Statistically, Bo has had two very good seasons...

    Getting to Indy without winning out

    It seems like the chance of us making it with another loss are extremely slim. We have to deal with the unlucky fact that none of the three main competitors (Iowa, Northwestern, Wisconsin) have to play Michigan State or Ohio State. If we lose to Northwestern, they would have to lose at least...

    Offensive play by play

    1st half Overall, Michigan State was aggressive on defense and got progressively more so as they realized how limited we were. We couldn't find a way to make them pay. Beck was basically using the quick screen game as our running game, but there was no deep threat and no testing the middle of...

    That's a bit creepy

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuSCwR4Uv8g?t=58m21s NBC had an announcer in the coaches booth telling the national audience the playcall 30 seconds before the snap. I realize it was the 70s, but wow.

    Best ten-year spans in the modern era of college football

    The Bama Dynasty thread got me looking into this. I considered the modern era to begin in 1944, when most of the big dogs started up football again near the end of the war. These are sorted by winning percentage, not necessarily greatest to least great. I only considered overlapping spans if at...

    My annual plea for a recruiting CliffsNotes

    I don't do the year-long emotional roller coaster any more like I used to. The valleys usually seem to overpower the peaks, and even when a good class is signed, you have to wait an average of 20 months before you even see the guys hit the field. Having said that, I usually try to get an...

    "There are things that went on that weekend that not many people know about."

    Harold graced us with this quote in the 1620 roundtable, insinuating that something bad happened just prior to the Minnesota game that may have contributed to Nebraska's performance on the field. Will some insider please enlighten me?

    Nebraska received one point in the Coaches' Poll

    Guess who? I'm sorry but this is embarrassing. This season really came apart at the seams.
