Great Plains Drifter

Actually, this speaks well for Bama and shows some variety of thought and opinion instead of blind homer-ism.

Bama needs to go hard on getting Cignetti at some point.

I don’t know. Cignetti is wired a bit different.

Where Lane wants to put himself in a position to attract the highest number of the best athletes he can on an annual basis , Cignetti seems perfectly satisfied to be in a spot where he can find enough of the types of guys he’s specifically looking for…..and then he’ll happily work with that to kick your arsse.

I’m not quite sure “we can land you all the 4 and 5-star athletes you can dream of” necessarily impresses Cignetti because he seems to get more genuine satisfaction out of beating your high-star guys with his “misfits” at this point in his life.

It’s a great story.

Georgia avenged their only loss this year.

I respect Bama’s program and do not “hate” them like many do but I’m having a difficult time supporting the case that Bama deserves a playoff spot this year over others.

She’s earning herself some fans and respect because she doesn’t take herself too seriously and is a good sport about trashy people taking shots at her.

There’s a lot of self-righteous, indignant, puckered-butt “victims” out there who could learn to take themselves a little less seriously.

Clear class of the SEC. Not an easy feat.

Congrats Dawgs. Hell of a program.

Agree or disagree with all of the transgender business, this was just a petty and spiteful move.

Sounds a bit whiny more so than any relentless analysis.

Sounds like ol' Jimmy told them "hey, just call me and I'm there" lol. Wonder how many other P4 schools he had lines out to?

He played and spent additional years as a coach right next door up in South Dakota St. so maybe this was a chance to “get back close to home” for him.

Understandable in that case …but as others have mentioned, I too feel really bad for Wazzu.

Wazzu and Oregon State took a serious beating from the fallout of conference musical chairs.

Besides being a good football coach Lane’s life is a drama magnet.

He’s a quirky guy, he’s good on social media and enough sketchiness in his history makes him a polarizing and interesting figure.

He and his family could probably do one of those “reality shows” and people would tune it because they love him or they love to hate him.

Because they were so roiled up, an elephant couldn’t push them around. Osborne was a cheating scumbag.

You’re dismissed.

The move to the B1G was the end for them. Everyone saw it coming but Nebraska fans.

Meh, we had already stated falling off prior to the move to the B1G.

Also in our Big 8 heyday, we did not have a continual heavy pipeline of players from TX (a la Oklahoma) that made up a significant portion of team roster every year. Pre-Big XII rosters are out there for anyone to see.

Our biggest problems post-Osborne have been:

1) Bill Callahan
2) Mike Reilly
3) Scott Frost
4) Foregoing a physical, smash-mouth philosophy in favor of West Coast, pro-style, pass-heavy offenses and bend-don’t-break defenses.
5) Emphasis on skill position players instead of big uglies along the lines.

Old Nebraska would’ve never been out-physicaled-pushed around by ANYONE.

Now, we are routinely pushed-around by everyone.
