Ryan Bailey's first kick for a FG was good. It was the winning kick against Nebraska last year. Mack Brown gave him a scholarship for the "kick" because it was so big for their season. See Joseph Duarte's column in the Houston Chronicle here.
The Nebraska high school playoffs are ready to begin. Maxpreps breaks down the games in each class.
This week's Big 12 Roundtable. Worth reading.........
Husker Mike explains what is wrong with the NU football team.
The following is a letter that is making the rounds on the internet. This is fake. One, the guy doesn't work for Husker Vision. Two, his address is not the address of the Athletic Department, and the e-mail address does not end in huskers.com which means he does not work in the athletic department. It is a guy having fun and except for one or two paragraphs, he might have started it when Solich was fired. Here is this week's FICTION novel.
"There are several people still close to Steve Pederson in his
administrative staff and provided the following information yesterday
from TO's office coming and goings.
Bo will be named head coach within days of the Colorado game if LSU is
not in the SEC championship game. If they are they will string it out
for a week talking about reviewing options, etc. Then once Bo is named
he can move quickly on getting with some of the recruits and keeping
them in place. Bill Busch will be retained in some position to assist
with this turnover.
Although rough around the edges, Tom thinks Bo reminds him of a Bob
Devaney type and does not feel the new coach has to be just like he was.
Tom Rathman who is now the RB coach for Lane Kiffen has been contacted
by Bo Pellini and asked about taking the offensive coordinator job at
Nebraska next year. The connections with Pellini and the Kiffens has
facilitated this possibly happening. TO however is possibly interested
in keeping Watson but of course is open to letting Bo select some of the
staff and as Rathman is a Nebraska guy he may get the nod.
Bo is holding the D-coordinator job open at this point in hopes of
getting Mike Stoops if he does not go back to Oklahoma. If not he is
hoping that Marvin Sanders can find a way out of the contract to take
the position.
(His current contract allows him to vest in the State of NC Pension plan
and that is why he has not started working anywhere else yet.).
Scott Frost will be brought back from Northern Iowa to coach defense in
some way and to spearhead Nebraska in state recruiting primarily for the
walk-on program. The new Tight ends coach will be retained possibly, he
is a little familiar with Bo through some Ohio State connection.
Most of the current staff will be relieved at the end of the season if
not before, it could be as early as Sunday depending on the drive and
motivation. Most of the team expressed willingness to help out with
coaching through the end of the year.
Strength and conditioning coach will leave as well and Bailey will come
back from USC, he loved Lincoln and is not as happy with living in LA.
although is being well paid by USC. Doak Ostergard, Paul Miles and Paul
Meyers have all been asked to return at the end of the year as well.
Look for many ex-huskers to be on hand on the sideline trying very hard
over the next several weeks to get these old players talking with the
current players and getting the husker pride back.
We were looking to include something about TO into the tunnel walk
although Tom has asked us not to do it and to keep the focus on the
team.
I will let you know if I hear anything else.
