Congrats Garrett Gilbert - Signed as backup QB for Cleveland Browns
Everybody should have a season as a Cleveland Browns quarterback under their belt. It builds character...with Johnny Manziel one notable exception notwithstanding.

Tell me about Nebraska
I guess that is why they don't usually let scientists coach football teams. Anyhow, enough with living in the past. What happened in 1995 or 2005 doesn't mean much for the 2019 season, at least to me. I am highly interested in seeing if NU coach Scott Frost really does have the recipe for lightning in a bottle or if he was just a flash in the pan. I think the offense will roll, but I don't know if he can field an exceptional defense, or even above average.

Tell me about Nebraska
I wish Nebraska could have played Texas in 1994...and 1995...1997 as well. Well then, perhaps this year, if the stars align?

The University has suspended the Texas Cowboys for 6 years
I thought this Cowboy group already had a chance to figure out how to do things a little differently and they just went back to being /doing the same old thing over again and expecting a different outcome...like the definition of insanity. This isn't a failure of people being tough enough, by the way. It's a failure of people being intelligent enough to keep their organization intact. They weren't. End of story, your Lee Ermey impersonation notwithstanding.

I certainly am. Just like the coyote sitting on the hill and watching the thundering herd of bison following each other over the cliff and wondering, "WTF is wrong with them?!"

The University has suspended the Texas Cowboys for 6 years
Because all the cool people bite heads off of hamsters? That, for me, was always the part of hazing that didn't make any sense: "You have to have to demonstrate zero self respect and common sense if you want to prove that you are one of us!" Seriously, do you want to look around at all of your new found bros and think, "Each and every one of us let somebody put our heads in a dirty toilet while we were having our bare asses paddled." (or some such nonsense)

The University has suspended the Texas Cowboys for 6 years
If this is the second time something has happened and they will be gone for the next six years, why even bring them back? There is nowhere to go but down from here. What will be next?...one of the Cowboys chasing an SMU cheerleader with a hot branding iron for being on the field?

Superbowl Halftime - Maroon 5
If you really, truly care about the half time show and the band upsets you, please turn in your Man Card. As far as I am concerned, anybody not called The Marine Corps Silent Drill Team will be considered subpar: USMC Silent Drill Platoon By the way, how can a $40,000 a year drill instructor teach this in a year to somebody who never even held a rifle in his life, but a $5 million per year coach must be blessed with five star recruit "talenet" to get someone who can tackle after playing football for ten years prior?

UCF May Force The Issue
So, isn't offense and special teams part of the "we" to which you refer? Or do you rent those parts of your team from a third party vendor and they no way figure into "we"?

2019 CFP National Championship - Clemson vs. Alabama
I read all 56 pages of this. It made me feel cheap, dirty, and guilty, but I couldn't stop reading. I couldn't get read fast enough to get to the good parts, even though I know I knew my pleasure was based on the immense suffering of others. I don't know if this is the closest I ever get to watching a snuff film, or if this crosses the line far beyond it. The only thing missing was Dabo Swinney luring Saban and Tua into an ominous van, telling them both that he was going to take them to the stadium to see a puppy and give them a national champion trophy...and Saban would have Swiss Miss pigtails and wearing a pleated plaid skirt, like the ones Japanese school girls wear. I'll go register at the police station now...

Bevo attacks UGA
This sport actually came from the time when those who slaughtered would have a dog that would keep the bull /cow / steer incapacitated long enough for the butcher to kill or stun the bovine. I suppose there was some talk of which butcher or farmer had the best dog for the task and competitions ensued.

Bevo attacks UGA
As I said in the game thread, Bevo's handlers don't determine where Bevo goes. They can only make suggestions. Unless somebody is there with lariats and a couple of stout quarter horses or high powered rifle, Bevo has the last say of where he goes and what he does.

2019 Sugar Bowl - Texas vs. Georgia
Only if you dress the little carnivore in a red sweater first. That way, all the bases are covered.

2019 Sugar Bowl - Texas vs. Georgia
Bevo vs. UGA the highlight of the bowl season. On that same note, what kind of water headed retard thinks it would be a good idea to put a bulldog next to a Longhorn for a photo op and can't think of any potential downside? I know Bevo has handlers, but they are like the guy who rides the elephant at the circus: He doesn't REALLY tell the elephant where to go, he's only making suggestions. UGA is alive because Bevo made that choice.

2019 Sugar Bowl - Texas vs. Georgia
When did they start calling it a "ticket"?

2019 Sugar Bowl - Texas vs. Georgia
This Nebraska fan is rooting for Texas to stomp Georgia in a most hideous and embarrassing way. I want to see the fourth string in by the third quarter and at the end of the game, Herman goes for two on a fake extra point try to make the score 78 to 0. Naturally, the excuse will be that Georgia couldn't get up for the game because they are SEC or some such sh!t.

Baker Mayfield is a piece of shit catchall thread
So if a player doesn't win a Super Bowl ring with the Cleveland Browns, it invalidates him from being considered as a good player? Just checking on the parameters of the debate here.

Teams that left the conference -- where did they finish this year?
First off, before we go any further, please don't confuse me with the average Nebraska fan. I'm the guy who sides with Pelini on his take with Nebraska fandom and the Nebraska media in general. My wife's coworker came to work at Nebraska with her doctorate in Agriculture from Purdue. She gets treated like sh!t at her first Purdue / Nebraska game. Why? Because Purdue beat Nebraska. If Nebraska wins that game by thirty points then "The World's Greatest Fans" would have been condescendingly sweet to her, just like they always were when the curb stomped Kansas or Iowa State. I root for the Huskers, but I am not a fan of their prototypical fan...who DOES have a chapped @ss about the Big 12. That being said, I don't blame Texas for Nebraska jumping ship.It happened, for whatever reason, and I think it was the right move for Nebraska regardless of who felt what butthurt or why. I DO think a lot of our former Big 8 conference mates liked to run out from behind the shadows of Texas and Oklahoma and kick us in the shins during the time of our being in the Big 12, because they could do it on the belief that there would be no consequences. In the end, it was a decision in favor of stability for Nebraska. No hard feelings on my part, I just hope Urban Meyer's health holds out until Scott Frost gets one or two more recruiting classes and strength and conditioning is no longer optional, like it was under Mike Riley.

2018 Football Season Game Prediction Contest Game 13 - Big 12 CCG - OU Still Sucks
If Diaco has the same impact on Oklahoma's defense as he did at Nebraska, I am saying: Texas: 52 OU:31 This prediction is only valid if Herman doesn't play Ehlinger in the 2nd half so as to save him for the bowl game.

A. Font fixed, but you can certainly have your way with the former large font as per your wish. B. https://www.columbiamissourian.com/news/higher_education/losing-aau-status-not-fatal-for-nebraska/article_e93dccc6-ed16-11e5-9aa9-0312c0e2e5e6.html Here's an excerpt, from the newspaper of our former conference mate, no less" So the "water under the bridge" outlook is not unique to just being my opinion. If one has the time and inclination, the article is perhaps interesting read, outside of featiromg a portrait of the cadaverous Perlman, which made me want to throw holy water on my monitor.

LOL Yeah, Nebraska ran into that a lot back in the day. It didn't help that Nebraska's Chancellor, Harvey Perleman, acted like he was autistic throughout the whole process. Perleman also gifted us with Steve Pederson and Shawn Eichorst as Athletic Directors. Those were a pair you wouldn't want to draw to. Anyhow, water under the bridge.

In my estimation, the junior partner status was worth it. But I can't put a price tag on Big 12 pride, so I won't debate what it means to Oklahoma and Texas.

Horns Down
I'm not much for any sort of spectacle outside of patting a teammate on the back or slapping his helmet. All of this "Look at me!" self aggrandizement or "In your face!" taunting seems juvenile and contrary to what many claim athletics is supposed to engender in the participants. So I am against "Horns Any Which Way" when flashed at an opposing team. Plus, everybody stay off my lawn and if your ball goes over the fence and into my yard, you don't get it back until I tell you how hard I had it when I was your age.
