Nebraska fires AD

Ahh Nebraska. I remember when you joined the B1G and your fans flooded our message boards and all said, with total sincerity: you've had a good run but your conference belongs to us, now. I remember how I laughed and laughed..

It's good to see a school that's supposed to be a bell cow in the Big 10 do something to actually get its mess together and stop being an embarrassment, especially on that side of the conference. It's not good for Michigan for the Big 10 West to continue being so crap, because who knows when Michigan might need a big win in a Big 10 conference game that most of those turds over there can't provide.

But on the other, I'm kinda nervous at the prospect of Nebraska getting their mess together. I'm wary of anybody who starts using the argument "[Formerly elite program] can never be elite ever again because LOOK WHERE ITS LOCATED NO COLLEGE KID WANTS TO LIVE THERE HYUCK HYUCK." I'm old enough to remember when people said that about Tuscaloosa and I've been to Clemson, SC enough times to know it's no beauty either. Nebraska is a program that's been undone by bad leadership at key times in its history and an inability by fans/boosters to understand how tough the move to the Big 10 would be. 

Mike Riley is a dead man walking. He has been since he inked his name on that contract. The new AD coming in will have zero allegiance or obligation towards keeping him around.

If they lose to Rutgers this week Riley may not even make it to mid-season.

has almost been the same as Michigan's.  They haven't had  a truely great offensive line in forever.

Nebraska's "problem" is compounded by the fact they're in a real conference now and aren't able to beat up on teams that had barely competed with them for 80 years.

can't wait to hear the inside scoop over Runza's

It would be great if Nebraska was competitive again. They should be the class of the West. Give Wisconsin and Iowa some competition.
