    I've got to think Nebraksa boosters will be out in full force with pitchforks and torches tonight to surround the university president's house.

    Nebraska is showing they don't care about winning. They were fed up with Pelini's antics so they replaced him with a mild, all around good guy.

    This is kind of sad. I grew up watching N win consistently the right way with Osborne. They were always good for at least 9-2. 7-4 to them was a disaster. Granted the Kansas schools and Iowa St were horrible most years. I had a lot of respect for their program.

    Now they clearly don't care about being a top ten team. They play fucking Rutgers and Illinois. None of this feels right.

    I love it. I guess once and for all Riley will get to prove the "he does more with less" theory one way or the other. However shocking, this is the kind of hire that can actually prove genius.

    The ebbs and flows of who is hot and who is not in the coaching world is a crazy thing. Riley with a fresh perspective can bring his quietly dirty style of play to a program that has no trouble getting the "beef".

    Could be interesting. Or not.

    I don't remember a ton of old college football games outside of Washington, but I do vividly remember enjoying watching Tommie Frazier and Lawrence Phillips (despite being insane) run all over defenses. Those were good times.

    Lawrence Phillips knew the right way for his girlfriend. It's just that she didn't want to listen without being thrown down the stairs. Wouldn't it have been sad if Osborne abandoned Phillips in his time of need after being unfairly maligned for assaulting being the victim of an obviously out of control wretched female? Probably on PMS drugs!?!

    That guy was pure class. #classyfanbase #lawrencephillipshurthisgirlfriendoutoflove

    I was more talking recruiting/general NCAA violations. I remember him. They weren't perfect but better than Jokelahoma, Miami, FSU or SEC trash.
