Like I said - I realize he’s a jerk. I just don’t know what is out there. I guess Scott Frost will be the next coach, but I don’t see that move helping the defense any.

How? You tell them the money comes from boosters. The base salary is different then the comp package.

Uggh forgot about that game. I take it Nebraska lost? Well thats the way its been we beat them at home earlier this year. Nebraska has been down since joining the B1G, Cook has had a couple of great classes but PSU signed the best class in history 2 years ago according to pundits.

Straight setter. Micha started the match with 4 straight aces and served 8 times before giving it up. We're going to miss her.

Hey Nebraska or Florida....Lane Kiffin is just coaching offense at Alabama and available for head coach. Yea, Kiffin would help your program.

But Hoke scores better than Pellini in intangibles: personality, media relations, high graduation rates of players, low off-the-field problems with players.

...you mean like Frank Clark, Brendan Gibbons, and Taylor Lewan...?

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

...less of a head scratcher than IU losing to Bowling Green...

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

...hopefully you don’t spend too much time in the casinos...Pelini will not be HC at UM or Fla...

I’ll bet the tOSU players say the PSU defense is the best they’ve played all year.

...they’d probably say the Va Tech defense holding them to 17 points on their home field (and actually winning the game) was tougher...

...Va Tech and PSU are mirror images of each other...

Why not tap into Warren Buffett’s pockets, Hire Nick Saban and Chip Kelly as Co head coaches for $50 million each, $50 million for recruits, $50 million to pay off the Refs, and have Buffett buy ESPN from the SEC as an exclusive channel for the renamed Nebraska Buffetts, Its mere pocket change for Buffett, and I’m guessing we created a dynasty that will last a decade. s/

Oh, I do go to the casinos. But I play (and win) at blackjack. Don’t touch sports. Suck at those bets.

That said, I’ll put a $100 donation to Free Republic on Pelini going to Michigan or Florida before the first game by either team next year.

Mr. Robinson, I hereby authorize you to make that charge if I lose this bet, but only if IrishBrigade agrees and likewise authorizes you to make that charge if he loses.

Is it a bet, IrishBrigade?

PS Offer void if illegal, but because we are not offering to pay each other, I think it is legal.

Is it a bet, IrishBrigade?

...nope, never bet, on anything...but never fear, FR will get an independent donation from me...

...but a clever riposte on your part...my compliments...

If I lose, I will still pay up. (Monthly donor, so it is just bonus to FR.)
