Yes, seriously. Bo notched 9 wins a year, but looked completely outclassed by teams with decent coaching and talent. I read he was 40-2 against sub .500 opponents and 25-26 against opponents above .500. That doesn't get it done at Nebraska.
Seriously?
RE: Alabama and Oregon, that's kind of my point. Despite being with Alabama and Oregon in total wins, we've never been ranked above 14 in the AP poll over the last 7 years because Pelini loses the games that actually matter. We've had easy schedules most years of Pelini's tenure, minus our first in the Big 10 when we got kind of shafted. If we had a better coach than Pelini, one better at adjusting the X's and O's on the field under pressure, we could have been Alabama or Oregon over these last 7 years. We've had NFL caliber talent, despite Pelini's treatment of recruiting as a burden. Yet he still couldn't stop Wisconsin from drubbing us with basic power run plays 3 out of 4 tries. He got outclassed two years in a row by a Minnesota team that isn't anywhere close to NU in talent. Pelini was a good leader, but not a good enough coaching mind to win a championship.

Aggies would put the nail in his career coffin. Sumlin just refuses to recruit boys that can be men in the SEC. Too much speed and not enough toughness.

His recruiting base is hotly contested and A&M is hardly the biggest draw.GOB said:

Seriously? Dude was born in Lincoln and played at Nebraska. I know you think football was invented in Eugene but I can guarantee you that very few people think Oregon is their dream job.

Seems like a Nebraska fan's wet dream. Doubt he is leaving Oregon just to be a OC at Nebraska.

Oregon is one of the best funded programs around and is about to play in the playoff. He isn't leaving that for some sort of nostalgia. hC position? Yes. oC? Doubtful.

he's married to the state of Ohio and I thought he said his coaching days were done.

Sounds like we are going through the yearly "Oregon isn't a dream job?" Discussion. Feels like an annual thing

Is that official? It's not like I'll be in mourning, but it's ridiculous how this went down. #### Alabama.

Some at Nebraska not happy:
This'll go down as the worst decision Eichorst will make in his career. He don't care tho. Just biding his time til Wisconsin opens up.

At the end of the day Bo was the only one who gave a #### about us. You think Eichorst or Pearlman gave a ####? All they care about is $$$

So legit curious about how the committee will weigh these conference title games. I know they are on the schedule so they need to be played, but is it fair that Bama, Oregon and FSU have to play and potentially lose an extra game that TCU/Baylor don't have?
Say Bama loses. Are they worse off at 11-2 than Baylor is at 11-1? Same with Oregon and FSU. I know this is the way the system is set up but I am curious to see how the committee weighs it. In the past we know the polls would just dump them.

Could it help anybody other than Ohio State?

He's the university president, not the football coach. The message board talk with Tressel and Frost would be Tressel as HC and Frost as OC "Head Coach in waiting". Whatever that means. It was a thought thrown out there on a message board a while ago, but right now it's just talk.
Tressel does have a show cause until 2016, but the university could plead the case to the NCAA to get it dropped. With all of the other NCAA "scandals", what Tressel did at tOSU seems pretty minor in comparison. I did hear however that he had issues at Youngstown before he took the tOSU job.

All we know is that conference championship was one of the few things they named specifically in their list of things they will look at. I suspect it will "help" anyone who's on the outside looking in when one of the teams "in" doesn't have a conference championship. So, for example last week, if things would have ended as they were with Miss St in the final four. I think it "helps" team 5-7 if they are looking to jump in.
All this is pure speculation of course. Only time will really tell.

Plane tracking to and from Lincoln should start any time now. 
My BIL (private plane pilot) has been flying his boss to South Carolina/Georgia a lot lately. I'm sure his plane will get tracked. 
I just saw the message board post mentioning Tressel staying at a Lincoln hotel. Someone got a text from a friend.

I can't imagine he'd want to jump back into the B1G, but that's just me.

Next step is a real estate agent breaks the story that she showed Mrs Tressel a house.Plane tracking to and from Lincoln should start any time now.

Yeah, super sketchy at best. I also heard that Michael Rose-Ivey's mom saw him near the University and then Ron Kellogg posted something about Tressel and speculated he'd be the replacement. Said something about shaking his hand, but it wasn't clear that that was a recent thing.Plane tracking to and from Lincoln should start any time now.

Could even Saban win at Nebraska?
It just seems like it's in a geographically isolated and historically isolated point that will be difficult to rise out of.
Their move to the Big10 with the demographic shift away from that area of the country was particularly poorly timed.

I try to read the SECr board over there, but that is the biggest collection of mouth breathers the internet has ever seen.Between that and td's coaching changes forum, I'm all set.
Really puts me in the holiday spirit.

I'm not in deep on the details...but a lot of blame gets thrown UofA's way for not wanted to share.
But UAB deserves a lot of blame as well, specifically Gene Bartow, for taking the approach that UofA was the enemy.
UAB did not manage the politics well, that's for sure.
Gene Bartow, previous BB coach @ UAB, wrote a letter to the NCAA insinuating Bear Bryant cheated while coaching at Alabama in the early 90s, and used his coaching tree, Jackie Sherrill, Danny Ford, and a couple of others, as "proof". This pissed off Bear Bryant Jr, who happens to be on the BoT for the UA education system. The same BoT that manages Alabama & UAB.
Jr is retiring sometime in the near future. Supposedly it's been his goal for years to shut UAB football down as a slap in the face to Bartow. Bartow of course is long dead, and I doubt he cares. Also, UAB football is a money pit, and has been supported, at least in part with money coming in from UA football, supposedly.
This state is really weird with football.
