Former Louisville head coach Steve Kragthorpe is available, Golden Domers. Today is the final day of Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis’ era in South Bend. It is a perfect ending to the career of a coach of a has-been program, a paper tiger—if you will. Weis has been horrible ...Published on: 28th November, 2009
Nebraska fans need to be realistic. Those heading down to Arlington, Texas next weekend for the Big 12 Championship to encounter unbeaten Texas are in for a rude awakening. Of course, a Husker shocker would be fantastic. A Husker win would make the Big 12 look more pathetic than it already ...Published on: 11th November, 2009
If if’s and but’s were candy and nuts, it’d be Christmas all year. If I ran for governor of Iowa , I would lose. If there was a 16-team college football playoff, it would be a dream. So none better than Iowa’s favorite son that nobody wanted to break down the dream playoff. The ...Published on: 4th November, 2009
Okay, these Big Ten fans are getting annoying now. Especially the Iowa fans. When has Iowa ever done anything of relevance in college football? You want to throw Nile Kinnick into the equation? He played his high school football in Nebraska. You’re welcome. Computers are keeping Iowa in the national title hunt ...Published on: 18th October, 2009
It’s a harsh reality. Oklahoma is 3-3. Three losses is three losses, despite them coming by a total of five points this season. No matter how insane it sounds in the other 49 states other than Oklahoma, Bob Stoops may be coming to a hot seat near you if he is ...Published on: 16th October, 2009

ESPN, you’re wrong! Boise State’s 28-21 victory on Wednesday night in Tulsa, Okla. was a quality win. Not many programs in the country would be able to get a W in Tulsa, Okla. against the University of Tulsa. Boise State showed what it was made of in hanging on in a tough ...Published on: 9th October, 2009
Coach Bo Pelini, it’s time to hand out the Blackshirts. Without your defense, Nebraska would be 3-2 with only the Alamo Bowl to play for. Instead, the Huskers are 4-1 coming off an impressive 27-12 victory in a monsoon over Missouri to pick up their first victory in Columbia since former Heisman ...Published on: 7th October, 2009
Who died and made Missouri boss? Actually, Nebraska football died and made Missouri the paper tiger in a paltry Big 12 North. But shouldn’t Missouri pick on somebody its own size? Like Kansas? Fast forward 50 years and Missouri wont surpass the Nebraska sides of the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. It ...Published on: 30th August, 2009
Been through therapy. Been to counseling. I’m drug-free. Been known to go out on a limb from time-to-time; sometimes I'm dead-on. Other times I'm dead wrong. Oklahoma State will win the National Championship in 2009. Not the University of Oklahoma. I said Oklahoma State. There. I said it. A huge weight has ...
