    Bill Snyder Is Officially Back

    That is a somewhat ironic remark, when you stop to think that the decade of 2000 to 2009 was the worst decade in Nebraska football in over 50 years, but still during that period of "decline" as you so brilliantly put it, Iowa State still could only muster a 4-6 record against those lowly...

    Bill Snyder Is Officially Back

    Wow, just wow. All I said, brain-trust, was that Iowa State did not purpose to schedule Florida State. That game "came to them" in the form of a pre-season bowl-type game. Yes, I am not naive enough to believe that Iowa State didn't sign on to play that game. All I was saying was that they...

    Bill Snyder Is Officially Back

    How did Iowa State's recent games against USC and Virginia Tech turn out? Oh that's right. They didn't have the courage to schedule them.

    Bill Snyder Is Officially Back

    I beg to differ with you swathmoreCy. FSU was not on Iowa State's schedule. That was a "pre-season" game added (much like a bowl game) during a time when there were two or three of that type of games played each season before the beginning of the regular season. If you look at each school's...

    Bill Snyder Is Officially Back

    Yes, Nebraska's 2010 non-conference schedule is "cup cake city," becrisgreg. Obviously you don't spend a whole lot of time on CF or do so with your eyes closed, or you would know that I have been on here on numerous occasions stating that these non-conference football schedules (including...

    Bill Snyder Is Officially Back

    Yes, for those of you who have been sleeping, Bill Snyder is back! Kansas State has announced they are scheduling three future games against University of Texas San Antonio. You say you have never heard of University of Texas San Antonio? That's because the program has yet to play a college...

    Nebraska vs. ISU

    If only you could read, IcSyU. I prefaced everything I said by the words "on paper." We really won't know much of anything until late September or early October. All I said was "on paper" Nebraska has the edge. I also stated that emotion plays a big part of any football game and if Iowa State...

    Nebraska vs. ISU

    The word, UNIGuy4CY, should have been "sucked." We don't know whether the offense will "suck" in 2010, as we haven't seen it on the field yet. Yes, I do hope and pray that Zac Lee doesn't end up starting this season. If he does, again, all bets are off. He is quite simply, the worst starting...

    Nebraska vs. ISU

    Anyone who watched Burkhead against Zona in the Holiday Bowl knows he will be a stud running back. Yes, at this point he hasn't proven much, but there is no question he will emerge as a top-flight running back in 2010. Quite honestly, I thought about calling the running back position a draw...

    Nebraska vs. ISU

    You do realize that Roy Helu, Jr. rushed for over 800 yards as a sophomore, splitting time with Marlon Lucky and then rushed for over 1000 yards as a junior, in spite of foot injury problems that plagued him for most of the season? You do realize that, in spite of playing in a backup role...

    Nebraska vs. ISU

    On paper, Nebraska wins this game going away. Anyone who looks at this thing position-by-position has to admit that Nebraska will put better people on the field across-the-board. If you look at it realistically, here is the breakdown: Offensive Line: Slight edge to Nebraska (barring...

    Colorado on Pac-10 Expansion....

    Something is going to happen, I'll guarantee you that. Will it be Colorado to the Pac 10? Don't know. Will it be Nebraska and Missouri to the Big 10? Couldn't tell you. Will it be Texas and Texas A & M to the SEC? Time will tell. But something is going to happen. And it will be sooner...

    Can Turner Gill Recruit? Questions Seem Answered.

    Interesting how Turner Gill was the greatest thing since sliced bread a few years ago when it looked like he might be a candidate for the Iowa State vacancy, but now he is a "chump." All he ever accomplished as a coach was receive a national award for being among the best assistant coaches (and...

    Can Turner Gill Recruit? Questions Seem Answered.

    I certainly don't refer to Bleacher Report as an "authoritative voice," jdoggivjc. Nor do I consider a number of columnists/bloggers as authortative. I see Bleacher Report as simply another source of information that you put in the pot and stir around. Are they always accurate? Certainly not...

    Can Turner Gill Recruit? Questions Seem Answered.

    Nothing could be as overrated as that class! Although that class (2005) included Ndamukong Suh, Barry Turner, Phillip Dillard and Zac Taylor, for ther most part, it was filled with busts, ala Harrison Beck, Jordon Congdon, etc. As I said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but on the...

    Can Turner Gill Recruit? Questions Seem Answered.

    Some time ago, there was a lively discussion on CF regarding whether or not Turner Gill would be able to recruit at Kansas. A number of posters felt his "no cussing" policy would hurt him. Obviously, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but according to this report, it appears Gill is putting...
