re: Parent of ex Ole Miss Player calls radio station and disputes Lane Kiffin

Still not quite sure why you have any interest at all. You watch a lot of reality shows huh.

I live 900 miles away from Louisiana, and Kiffin's comments have been in our sports news here several times in the past days.

He didn't need to make the comments, especially for a magazine like Vanity Fair.

re: Stats that show just how small the margin between 1st and 14th is in SEC baseball

Posted by NebraskaExPat on 5/10/26 at 2:18 pm to NorthEndZone

While the numbers seem close, baseball is not like football. If these were football statistics, we could consider them close. In baseball, the statistics are much more apart. This is what happens when a sport has lower scores.

It's amazing the mood difference on the Rant after two wins.

but Nebraska fans had way more hatred for Oklahoma than vice versa

Having grown up in Nebraska, I don't remember Husker fans had any hatred for OU. I think it was more respect and wanting to knock off the Sooners since OU was always so good.

Since OU was Nebraska's only real competition, and I think what's really overlooked, the fact the game was played on Thanksgiving Day or the Friday after for so many years, it became a game for both teams to look forward to.

I would have to guess Oklahoma - Texas is the biggest rivalry game.

Now it's Iowa - Nebraska on Thanksgiving Friday.

re: LSU Tigers posses one of the biggest NIL payrolls in college football at $40 million

Contracts and payments to NIL are not public info. Fact is, we don’t know what the numbers are. At best you have a “slightly educated” guess. At worst you have some dumbass reporter artificially inflating numbers to create a headline….

Most of these reports are estimates based on adding together all the known amounts paid to the athletes. In many cases, the athletes report, and in other cases the donors report.

re: Dellenger on possible CFP Expansion: There is a coalescing around 24

It's not about championships or season games or blowouts or byes or ?. It's about MONEY!

re: Dellenger on possible CFP Expansion: There is a coalescing around 24

Someone explain to me the magic number 24. First round -- 12 teams left. Second round -- six teams left. Now what? Round robin play?

If it's going to require some byes at the beginning, who gets those?

It will not do away with arguments, it will cause more.

Reverse it.

An Ole Miss 50-year-old wearing an Ole Miss shirt sits himself in the LSU student section. After a bunch of problems, he is removed.

He then goes back to the student section and causes more problems.

1. How many beers (and other things) will LSU students throw at him?

2. What will be LSU fans' reaction when the Ole Miss man decks one of the LSU students?

Someone defending this guy needs to remember he's already been kicked out of the section once before this. If you're going to get drunk at a game and want to fight, it might be a sign to you to cool it.

This thread reminds me of watching Jazz games in the dome. Not good.

how does UConn keep winning NCAA tourneys damn.

I've always thought it's their location in the huge population mass. They can find recruits from literally millions of high school kids. Once the winning begins, they can then appeal to high school kids nationwide.

I'm not sure who you know who is a Nebraska fan and considers the program is still a blueblood. I do know Nebraskans, and they believe the opposite. They know how high they used to be, and how low they've been the past 25 years. They always have hope, but they also have no delusions that they're any better than the lower half of the power teams.

Imagine telling a university because a kicker joined their program in this way that now they're fined 20% of the football team's budget.

I agree. However, I think the rule is trying to put pressure on coaches to stop being predators of other teams' players. They're not supposed to, but I'll bet it's more widespread than we know. In the case of the Wisconsin player, we know the Miami coach should not have allowed it.

re: New Blind Transfer Rule

Posted by NebraskaExPat on 4/2/26 at 10:42 am to ColoradoAg

I think it's mainly to stop a player from quitting school, shopping his talents to other schools, and then enrolling there, all without ever declaring in the portal.

Imagine if a team starts to lose, and a good player just quits the team mid-season, withdraws from school, and then enrolls in another school and begins to play there. It's conceivable that player, if he was good enough, could enroll in several different schools all in one football season. What a mess college athletics has become.

The NCAA passed a new "Blind Transfer" rule. Let the lawsuits begin!

Not envy from Nebraska. Just a great desire to get out of a conference before Texas wrecked it completely.

The coach said it was his fault. You can see the player is running to the table to check in when the referees started play. The referees usually count players to see if there are six on the floor. I guess they don't care if there's only four.
