    Parking @TCU game?

    Yes, my father and I are masochists, but we are going to the game Saturday morning. Does anyone from the DFW area have recommendations on where to park around the stadium? The lots on the TCU map seem to be exclusively reserved for boosters, students, etc. Thanks!

    ESPN Full Court

    Re: Explanation from ISU Athletic Dept. Thanks for the hard work. Looking at the new TV schedule, it looks like there are only 5-6 games scheduled for ESPN3 - does that mean the same amount of small potatoes for FC, or will FC show more than this? I may cancel FC tomorrow, having ordered it...

    This is what Coach Rhoads is up against

    I read that site regularly... the writer Scipio Tex is a comic genius, so look for his work - all the best States of the Union come from him. Although he can be hurtful to teams I like, he always makes me laugh out loud while doing so.

    former fusker lawrence phillips is a jailbird

    Thunder Collins was a Solich recruit, and played well after Dr. Tom retired... I don't think Osborne can in any way be blamed for Collins' malfeasance.

    Worst beer ever drank...

    Count me in as a Schell's defender as well... most Schell's beer, as well as Grain Belt Premium, are worthy, affordable beers.

    1997 NCAA Tourney

    I saw that in a sports bar in Boston - right after Dollar hit that shot, some drunken, very obnoxious UCLA fans came over and woofed in our face, precipitating probably the only ISU-UCLA bar brawl in Boston sports history.

    Coordinators can become great Head Coaches

    Tom Osborne was an OC for 6-7 years before taking over for Devaney - a lot of Nebraska fans grumbled in 1973 about Tom's lack of coaching experience...

    Could Ames High ever play a home game in Hilton?

    Those were my high school days as well (Valley), and both Ames and North were exceptionally talented teams. As I recall Ames had several good players to complement Hoiberg (Koch, a guard with an African name and another 6'5" swingman). We somehow beat them in OT at home, as I remember (which...

    Okie State's crowd

    I remember reading that their ticket prices are quite high - might be keeping the peripheral fans away who just watch on TV instead.

    Pelini and Cotton.........

    Barney Cotton is a certified coach-killer. Why he continues to get chances to screw up Big 12 offensive lines is just beyond me... I mean, I didn't think Nebraska's OL could get any softer than last year's Callahan team, but somehow Barney managed to get it done.

    NCAA rule changes for 08

    If the 2005 changes shortening the number of plays in a game were unacceptable to everyone, why would the new NFL-style clock rules be acceptable? The NCAA is corrupt and beholden to the TV networks, and will keep putting in new rules to get what they want. Look at the average number of plays...

    Thoughts on the Prevalence of the Spread

    I posted this on the famed Barking Carnival site, but I wanted to talk about why I think the spread is becoming more and more popular, and why offensive diversity (wishbone, veer, run and shoot et al.) is declining in college football. Interested in people's thoughts. **** To me, the...

    A Nebraska fans thought on Coach Cotton

    I am a big Husker fan, but I also am a Cyclone fan and attended most of ISU's games in 2004-2006. Kingcy, I fully share your opinion re Cotton, and the Husker naivete is not limited to your cousin, I'm afraid. I posted some statistics on a Husker board backing the thesis that Cotton is a...
