He’s the ultimate hotheaded jerk.

More than Mike Stoops, the DC at Oklahoma?

I watched your Huskers vs. PSU women’s volleyball last night. Good tuneup for the ncaa’s. PSU seems loaded and ready to go (haven’t lost a set in 13 matches). UNL seems down a bit.

I think I heard them say Missouri last night.

It was a joke. IU beat Mizzou @ Mizzou earlier in the year. One of those “head scratcher” games.

"How do you justify that to people that are paying to send their kids to school there?"

I've read that the Alabama football program pays for all the other sports at the University Of Alabama and still contributes $43 million to the University's 'cash-box.'

If anyone ought to be fired, it's the incompetent bozo head coach at Iowa.

Some things that go on with college football coaches are real strange. I don't know all the details, but Iowa lost in OT to Nebraska the other day. Yet it's the guy whose team won in a big comeback who gets fired two days later and the guy who lost who, it seems, has a safe job.

Your guy Ferenz was considered about the best young head coach in the country not that long ago, so keep things in perspective. At least his teams are competitive and you're going to a bowl, which is lot more than you could say about Iowa for a long time back in the 60s and 70s.

The 60s were pitiful, as I well recall.

I had to look up Ray Nagel as I had blotted out his “record of achievement” at Iowa. The pair of flunkies that followed were actually worse.

The critical mistake Iowa made was elevating Forest Evashevski to AD where he second guessed every call these coaches made.

I remember WHO Radio's sports guy, Jim Zable had an evening radio show with Evy calling in from his home in Michigan after he retired. Evy criticized every play and drove the athletic department nuts. Finally, the administration threatened the station with being banned from covering the games if “Ask Evy” continued on the air. WHO Radio got the message and Evashevski finally shut up and retired.

Really STUPID move, Nebraska. Ugh. Not a Husker, but know my football, and this firing is just plain STUPID.

Bet Pelini ends up at U of M - and pumels Nebraska for a decade or two - or Florida.

RE: 10
Couldn’t agree more!

I was at the Iowa/Nebraska game Friday. Witnessed the usual Hawkeye choke job...
While listening to post-game call-in show on WHO, I have never heard Hawk fans so disgusted!!!
Rightly so......

When the Big 10 grew to 14 teams, madness ensued...

The regular season ended at a good time for Franklin. Hack is getting killed. They can’t run the ball. Hopefully the X’s and O’s will catch up to the salesmanship and recruiting.

PSU still played tOSU w/ 46 scholarship athletes and (despite being spotted -10 points by the Referines) still took you the distance. I’ll bet the tOSU players say the PSU defense is the best they’ve played all year.

I’m ok with the future for now. But they need some depth. There are 7 O-Linemen (recruited as such) on campus right now.

A jerk who told Husker fans to eff off. Also its not the wins and losses, its how we have won and how we have lost. I was a Bo backer until Wisconsin. There was no adjustments to stop Gordon. That was the sad reality, every year he would have a beat down, he would lose a game he shouldnt and simply were werent competitive when it mattered.

Wrong. We recognize that. Callahan showed you can get top classes at Nebraska. We have the money, the facilities,the history all we need is the right staff.
