  • Nebraska willing to play against a blizzard only if they have to

    Nebraska football coach Scott Frost, president Ted Carter and chancellor Ronnie Green released a joint statement Tuesday afternoon saying they hope to still possibly compete this fall.


    And by the sounds of things, the Big 12 isn't that excited about scheduling them. For once I don't blame the Big 12

    This was all a nothing burger. Frost wanted to play, he vented. It took the school less than a day to officially state that they are not playing games if the B1G won't allow it. Moreover, PSU, OSU, Iowa and Michigan all had coaches say the same thing, they want to play even if the conference doesn't play. There are people from other schools trying to lobby the B1G to allow programs to play, probably a futile effort; the B1G wants a spring season and they can't do it if three or four schools play in the fall.

    Nebraska is in no position to go rogue anyway. If they leave the B1G, they're done. They won't get back into the BigXII, they might, if lucky, get into the MWC. I think they could get into the MVFC without much trouble.

    There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

        I'm not really a fan. I go to games, but I go to Chiefs games too and am not a fan. In my mellowing age, the only team I'd say I'm a fan of anymore are the Cubs.

        The interesting thing about the Nebraska situation is seeing the ripple effect from one coach commenting on playing. I'm guessing the Nebraska situation got traction simply because they want to play, they left the Big XII and the Big XII is playing. There was never any seriousness to Nebraska playing games in defiance of the B1G, but we're in a pandemic and it filled some air time.

        Here's a link from Ohio regarding the Buckeyes playing. Very similar to exactly what happened in Lincoln.


        These same articles were written about several B1G schools. The possibility of Nebraska looking elsewhere made for water cooler conversation, but nothing more.

          The parents of Penn State, Nebraska, Ohio State and Iowa players have now put together letters to the Big Ten. Nebraska, in retrospect, wasn't the outlier. The decisions being made by Kevin Warren and the heavy-handed way he is implementing those decisions could cost him his job. Outside of the covid pandemic, in his short stint leading the conference, Warren has become a SJW, its not sitting well with some. Being on the wrong side of an issue from Ohio State in the B1G is akin to being on the wrong side of an issue from Texas in the BigXII, it often doesn't end well for you.

              Due to lack of football revenue, the University of Iowa is eliminating four non-revenue sports forever. Sad news.

                [jwplayer W4ONB6vg] Early on Tuesday, Nebraska President Ted Carter mistakenly let it slip that the Big Ten football season will resume and an announcement will be made this evening. While he tried…

                    If Ohio State says play.... Well you play. Just like Texas in the Big 12.

                        This didn't end well for Kevin Warren. If I were him, I'd keep my resume polished.

                            No surprise. No way a major conference is going to sit out if the others aren't.
