TheGreyGhost posted:Now, frankly, I don't think Nebraska is ever reclaiming the glory days; you're not convincing that many recruits in the social media age to move to Lincoln, but they should be contending for the Big Ten West with Wisconsin consistently. I don't buy this - Lincoln probably isn't very different that Norman, OK; Tuscaloosa, AL; Gainsville, FL or whatever. If Saban was at Nebraska - they'd be reeling of consecutive championships like it was 90's.

Baton Rouge is the most apt comparison (I've been there) People also throw out the "It's cold" excuse but it really does come down to being able to develop recruits into halfway decent FBS players, which hasn't been sustained here in a while

Why was Dixieland Delight banned in the first place? https://twitter.com/Greg_Byrne/status/1050162490456383488 I also eagerly await both the sexual assault allegations and future supreme court nomination of the Alabama student body president.

Remember when Mark Mangino took Kansas to the Orange Bowl, won it, then a few years later got fired and has barely ever been heard from again? Dude won a BCS bowl at possibly the worst P5 program and has never been a head coach ever again.

He also was more or less a normal Kansas football coach outside of the Todd Reesing years, and the program was going the wrong direction. They made two disasterous hires after that took them from "normal KU bad" to "literal worst major conference program" but I don't think Mangino was actually all that great.

DOUBLE CLICK HERE posted:https://sports.yahoo.com/yahoo-sports-exclusive-document-shows-untrained-third-party-overruled-targeting-call-pac-12-game-040318946.html That's pretty hosed up. Haha, reading the story now, I bet the ultimate outcome is that the ref gets disciplined for mentioning it in his report. You can already see this forming in the Pac 12 commissioner saying the unfortunate thing in the whole incident is the mischaracterization that a third party had overruled officials.

I'll say this, I always dug Turner Gill's opening remark when he got hired at Kansas.quote:Here are our top priorities: recruit, beat Missouri, recruit, win the North, recruit, win the Big 12, and in most cases if you win the Big 12 then you're playing for a National Championship. And then we're going to recruit.

DOUBLE CLICK HERE posted:https://sports.yahoo.com/yahoo-sports-exclusive-document-shows-untrained-third-party-overruled-targeting-call-pac-12-game-040318946.html That should, at the very minimum, be unnecessary roughness. It's also the most blatant targeting call on the face of the planet. College is "if your knee touches the ground when you have the ball*, regardless if you have been touched by a defensive player, you are down". It's clear that he has the ball, was down for a portion of time long enough that the defender had no reason to lower his head to go after him. Had he been still standing? Sure, go for a wrap up tackle. But he was already going to the ground and giving up on the play. How the gently caress they felt they could get away with an untrained official I have no clue. *Placeholder for kicks excluded here for the obvious reasons.

Iowa is absurdly beat up on defense and I'm actually really worried about playing Indiana now. Both starting corners are at less than 100% so we might have to start two true freshmen there for the second week in a row (one of whom was a originally only a grey shirt offer). Two starting linebackers are also hurt and one of the top backups is suspended for the first half due to a late targeting penalty last game, so we're starting a backup outside linebacker at MLB surrounded by two redshirt freshman. Last week against Minneosta the linebacker depth was bad enough that we actually played nickle for like 80% of the game with a starting safety bumping down to OLB/nickle corner. Given that Iowa has probably played like 90% or more of it's defensive snaps in it's base 4-3 since 1999 it was extremely awkward and weird. Minnesota is bad enough that it didn't matter, but I don't think we can march up and down the field at will against Indiana the same way, especially since it's one of those sleeply 11 AM kicks is a mostly empty stadium that always seem to completely sap the team of energy.

Called targeting on the field, but somehow after 5 minutes of reviews of watching someone concuss someone over and over again, and the refs clearly standing around waiting on something, suddenly "not targeting."
