I look forward to the conclusion of this series. I do hope that Brian manages to (quite appropriately) use the phrase "tire fire" when describing the state of the program of my alma mater. |

This post was tremendous. Fred_Jackson combines the wit of Nabokov, the insight into the human condition of Plato, and the lyricism of Paul Simon into a singular posting talent not seen in decades. |

Did I just write that in a forum on a sports blog? |

...to one with none, I explain it like this - remember how we all used to hate Rasheed Wallace until he became a Piston? Yeah, it's kind of like that. (Not that I'm rooting for you to get your own bug-eyed inflatable pan-dimensional being as a mascot, as we'd like to keep that market cornered for ourselves.) |

"Alfonzo Dennard and some guy who is not good" Half right. The "not good" guy (Dejon Gomes) isn't on the team any more because he got drafted by the Redskins. Not that currently sitting the bench for the Redskins does anything to prove one's Not-Goodness. However, this: "Dollars to donuts this is because the Huskers have one asskicking cornerback and not much else in the secondary." That's 100% dead on. Dennard is a beast and everyone else is some combination of young and meh. Couple this with our suddenly understaffed D-line, and the linebackers are our defensive strength by default, which did not look to be the case entering the season. Result: a much poorer and more inconsistent defense than we posted last year. Very good write-up, Brian - the previews always sound pretty good when I read them, so I was interested to read the one about a team I actually know well. |

Our wave of commits usually shows up late in the season, often after the bowls. Looking back at the commit dates in the Rivals database, on this day each of the last four years NU had 10, 8, 11, and 10 known committments. So 7 is lagging a bit, but certainly within historical tolerances. (Coincidentally, three years ago NU received two committments on this day - if I'd written this post yesterday, that 11 would be a 9.) |

In the fourth quarter of the NU-OSU game, leading 27-20 and at the NU 32, OSU took an intentional delay-of-game to give their punter more room for a pooch kick. It "worked" in the sense that the punt was downed at the 9-yard line, but I refer you to the final score to test another definition of "worked". I cackled with knowing glee at the decision. This, folks, is why we all need to root for Fickell somehow keeping that job. |

That is why Brian is able to keep this non-Michigan fan coming back every day. It's the writing, man. Smart writing. |
