And how was this season's Wins and Losses in the 16 years of the KF era? 7-5 come in 4th? 17 points against an ISU that managed all of 1 other win all year good for 7th? It's about the W's & L's, not the meaningless statistical dribble. It's easy to rack up garbage yardage at the end of the...

Re: What was the reason no BIGX!! school was included in the national championship, a ^ No kidding. Baylor won the B12, but the conference refused to give them the title. Serves them right. 4 undisputed conference champs made the playoffs, just the way it should be.

See, that's exactly it, and why everyone is so mad at Ferentz. We've seen the same stuff for 24 starts now from JR, with tons of his play being totally underwhelming or even awful. Yet we've only been given glimpses of CJB other than his one start on the road, and his single half on the road...

JR is a 24 game starter, and CJB has started once. The fact that there's any question at all between the two says that you go with CJB all the way a couple games to see if his performance actually improves with experience, unlike the stagnant 2 year veteran.

^ ^ Thirded. I really wish CJB would have gotten some more reps this year, as I think a lot of his play - like the slow start at Purdue - were more a case of nerves and lack of comfort out there. You get that with experience. We've seen pretty much the same thing from JR for two years now...

Ha-ha - this is awesome! Any surprise why the guy connects with teenage recruits?

No kidding! There's also throwing short of the 1st down marker on 3rd down. If there was a category for highest completion % on 3rd down without making a 1st down, JR would lead the nation.

Well, Nevada is riding high right now after beating Louisiana-Lafayette in the New Orleans Bowl and finishing 7-6. Tough to compete with a young man against a program with momentum like that.

Asked about leaving JR in all game during the Minnie debacle, KF answered "we talked about putting CJ in, but decided it wouldn't make any difference."

I always thought the better comparison was between cubs fans and the people that buy tickets to watch the games in Ames. The attraction primarily being about a good day out at the park watching a game instead of winning. No chance of winning a championship, completely satisfied by reaching the...

Jamie Pollard is a big believer in changing coaches to fire up the fanbase to buy more tickets and collectible coins.

WOrth it. Every recruit will want to play for him.

No doubt Barry has to be a lot to be around. His brain probably started whirring in excitement at the thought that he gets to coach another bowl game. I also don't doubt that a P12 gig has probably been a dream of a Utah guy like Gary for a couple decades. Almost like going home for him and...

I have no interest in gambling, but I like the matchups for all B10 teams except for Debbie & Rutgers.

That's an old saying. The Yankee's Lefty Gomez said it back in the 1930s.

I liked him rotating so many RBs early in the year. Wish he would have left them each in for longer periods like a full series or so. Would have liked to see him do the same thing with the QB position even more needless to say. Can't have everything.

Ferentz was just being polite in front of the press. He will give Gary a real what-for when they get back to the 'plex about what is and is not acceptable when he is involved.

Fire the guy responsible for the B10 only getting 7 spots, especially since there are 14 teams in now! The B10 fans traveling from the frozen Midwest to the warm climes is the entire reason bowl games exist in the first place!

Fixed it for you. 1998 would be about when most recruits they are starting to go after now were born. The only people that still think Nebraska has any kind of a 'name' in college football are over the age of 40.

And maybe also give Urban an excuse to put Barrett back on the bench next year in favor of that other kid whose name I can't honestly even remember at this point.
