Pelini will re-emerge somewhere. I have no guesses, but he'll land okay and you'll get to watch him blow up on his new team.

Apparently a big contingent of Nubs fans are pushing for Tressel and thinking Frost will come as the OC. Like Frost would leave Oregon for a lateral into Lincoln. Might as well add Muschamp as DC to that imagined staff.
The delusion of self-importance is unreal in Lincoln, they still thinks it's 1997.

It bugs me when Allbuffs (even the Oklahoma fan contingent) sets up huskers to be right about something. Though I would encourage the nebraska fans to look to Notre Dame as a model for a team that has resources and fan support that can't quite pull it together.
As an aside, when huskermark and BuffSurveyor post, am I the only one that imagines them as the brothers from the movie nebraska?
I see little comparison between them besides a program hiring an ex-player. Frost actually has a resume that warrants a look as a HC, Embree did not.
No doubt, but it won't be the same. The Husker thing was an important part of the equation.
More "my own private Idaho" for me.It bugs me when Allbuffs (even the Oklahoma fan contingent) sets up huskers to be right about something. Though I would encourage the nebraska fans to look to Notre Dame as a model for a team that has resources and fan support that can't quite pull it together.

As a family dynamic, yes, but I'm pretty sure nobody would pay mark or surveyor to **** them.

I'm not so sure about that. If Ohio State manages to win the Big 10 championship game, there is a decent chance they make the final four playoff.
It wouldn't surprise me if the committee decides to penalize the Big 12 for not having a true conference champion when the final poll comes out.
Not only does the B12 not have a championship game but they have some very weak teams that drag down the quality of the schedules of the conference winner, already weakened by some soft OOC games. Baylor OOC included SMU, Buffalo, and Northwestern State (not Northwestern U.) TCU OOC included Samford (not Stanford) SMU and a decent Minnesota team.
On the other hand if Ohio State does get in to the final four which of the other three can they even stay close to. It may in the long run be better for the B1G image to be able to complain about being left out than to explain what happened when they got in.
Possible. And Baylor may jump TCU. Having said that, TCU v. Alabama is a game I'd really like to see.

why would we watch a movie about Nebraska? Unless it is about the 62-36 beatdown.
Give it a shot. It's a pretty accurate portrayal of the fanbase, in my observation.
I'm more talking about the long-term status of the Big Ten as a football conference, not their short-term perception of possibly being down. The general movement of population away from the rust belt to regions of the country with more promising economic situations is going to continue to hurt the Big Ten, especially in relation to the other P5 conferences. Throw in the ability of recruits to play for programs in warmer climes yet still be seen on tv every weekend by relative back home AND the relative decline in 'reputation' of the long-time powers in the Big Ten vis-a-vis programs in the SEC, Big 12, Pac-12 and even the ACC, and you've got a recipe for long-term decline.
Fair enough--then you know. I guess it's the uncanny accuracy with which they capture it that makes the movie, but your point is a good one.
hence their recent expansion east. hence their rumored looks at Georgia Tech and Virginia.

Given my time spent living in this godforsaken state, I liken the Nebraska fan base more to the People's Temple. Blindly and unquestioningly loyal, longing for their salvation in the form of another national championship that probably wont ever come. The local TV stations all broke into regularly scheduled programs to air Eichorst's press conference live. The talk radio station made two of their talking heads who never work on the weekend come in to the studio to take calls and discuss the firing. I saw a guy the other day wearing a Huskers letter jacket with the years of their national championships on the back. Not a kid, mind you, a grown man. I have a feeling that if Tom Osborne asked the Husker fan base to drink cyanide laced red Koolaid in order to go to the big national championship game in the sky, they would gladly do it and remark about how Koolaid was invented in Nebraska as they choked out their final breath.
It never ceases to amaze me the level of worship that Nebraskan's lavish on their football program. Almost an entire state bases not only their self-image but their self-worth on a bunch of 18-23 year old young men, mostly from other places and who will get out and return to those other places as quickly as possible once their sentence is over.
For most of the country college football is a part of life, for some places like SEC country, Oklahoma, etc. college football is a lifestyle. In Nebraska Cornhusker football is life itself, without it they have nothing and are nothing.
People who never stepped foot in a 10th grade classroom, don't know who their father is, and aren't entirely sure of their mothers have a block N on the back of their truck and can tell you Tom Osborne's birthday and the name of the third string right guard.
There is no place like Nebraska, and that's a good thing.

Agree. The FSU model for transitioning from an aging but "legendary" coach worked really fucjking well.
Texas agrees!
:lol:
Where UT really ****ed up is that Mack Brown was only 57 years old when they named Muschamp as the HC In Waiting. WTF kind of message does that send? Brown might have been thinking about coaching 10 more years, but that completely undermined him and threw the program into chaos.
It was a beautiful thing.
Maybe he can borrow some of Spurrier's Depends.
