    Texas 7, Nebraska 9, Oklahoma 12 in CBS Post-Spring Rankings

    Another "post-spring" ranking has come out. CBS Sports lists Alabama #1 (no surprise there) and Boise #2 (their schedule has a lot of people jumping on their bandwagon). In the Big 12, Texas comes in at #7, Nebraska #9 and Oklahoma #12. Iowa, by the way, comes in at #8. Post-spring Top 25...

    HS Track Controversy - Where's the Sportmanship ?

    A rule is a rule is a rule. But a horse's backside is a horse's backside is a horse's backside. And that is what that coach is. Any coach who would want to win an event bad enough that he would stoop to that level doesn't deserve to even be able to associate the name "coach" with his name...

    Interesting Read on Dysfunctional Big 12 Conference

    I'm not in a panic at all. As a matter of fact, it would be absolutely fine with me if Texas and Texas A & M left the conference. Those two schools direct most of the decisions made by the Big 12 Conference and it would be wholesome if that were no longer the case. Let 'em go. The...

    Interesting Read on Dysfunctional Big 12 Conference

    I found this article in the Tulsa World regarding the "hand-wringing" within the Big 12 Conference interesting. One thing the article fails to acknowledge however, is that the Big 8 DID do the dishonest and probation-ridden Texas schools a huge favor by agreeing to form a "new" conference. It...

    Nebraska Second, Texas #8 in Spring Game Attendance

    Think of it...that's like going to a bowl game, but not having to split the revenue with your conference counterparts. Nebraska drew 77,936 at $10 per ticket. That is a gate of $779,360. Amazing! Bama blew it!

    Nebraska Second, Texas #8 in Spring Game Attendance

    I couldn't tell you for sure, Dave, but my guess is that they charged for admission at Alabama. Most schools that get good attendance figures for their spring games have begun to charge for admission. I know they go $10.00 per ticket in Lincoln. Think of the revenue they generated, even at...

    Nebraska Second, Texas #8 in Spring Game Attendance

    Nebraska had the second largest spring game attendance in the country this year, with Texas coming in at number-8. By the way Chizek and Auburn also cracked the top-10: Spring Game Attendance Figures Are in, Who Loves You Baby? | Bleacher Report

    Williams Blog: Cupcake City!

    A better penalty would be to say that if you schedule a FCS team, you are ineligible for a BCS bowl game. That would end that type of nonsense immediately. Yes, it was fun to see Michigan lose to an FCS opponent. Yes it was exciting to see UNI a field goal attempt (actually two field goal...

    Williams Blog: Cupcake City!

    The bottom line is that no BCS conference team should be scheduling an FCS team, period. I understand why Iowa and Iowa State play UNI and I can excuse them for it (certainly more than I can excuse Nebraska for scheduling South Dakota State), but in my more than humble opinion any team that...

    Alabama #1, Nebraska onl Big-12 team in Sporting News pre-season rankigs

    Agree with you on that, Hawkfan. Iowa's defense will be one of the top units in the Big 10 + 1 and possibly in the country. And Iowa proved last year that with a great defense (much like Nebraska did) you can win a lot of football games, even with a questionable offense. Wisconsin brings more...

    Here are the teams that benefited most from having recruits visit their campus during Spring Games held this past month. Among Big 12 teams, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas are listed in the top-10 spring game beneficiaries. Michigan and Ohio State did well in the Big-10 and Alabama and Auburn...

    Sorry pal, this ******* retard isn't talking about the "tornado" game. I'm talking about the Iowa State - Colorado game in 2001. No, Iowa State wasn't going to win the Big 12 North that season, but they had a very, very competitive football team and played a Colorado team that was nationally...

    If there is so much loyalty, where were the sellout crowds at Jack Trice when Mac was in the hunt for Big 12 North football titles?

    How do Iowa State fans react if four years from now Cyclone basketball under Hoiberg isn't faring much if any better than it was under the McDermott regime? What if ISU still isn't being invited to the dance? Or if Iowa State is still among the lower tier of teams in the Big 12? How will you...

    Bring back Larry

    Larry certainly hasn't done a bad job at Southern Miss. A 19 win season and a 20 win season certainly can't be considered as bad seasons.

    Bring back Larry

    Pulling the plug on Eustachy was a colossal mistake in the first place. If Larry had a problem, which he obviously did, he should have been put on a leave of absence and not shown the door (if he would have been a player, he certainly wouldn't have been shown the door on a "first offense"...
