    PGA Tour Cats

    Lipsky, Donald, and Fitzpatrick all made the cut at Jack's tournament this weekend. Lipsky and Donald are competing near the top of the leader board.

    The parking situation

    Modernizing is not necessarily good. A bad decision or policy is not enhanced because it is trendy or because everyone else is doing it. NU's new direction will drive many of us away - and the school's reaction: "who cares". I guess, even after 45 years of season tickets and a half-million...

    The parking situation

    Several months ago I met with a senior member of the NU Athletic Department to voice concern over the possibility that we might lose our seats once midfield sections were converted to club seating requiring expensive permits or licensing fees. I was told, "We know that we are going to lose some...

    What we've learned from NU's recent recruiting roll

    I hope that all of these guys become All-Big Ten performers. However, we might put these recruits in recent context. Last year, even after significant de-commitments prior to signing day, our class averaged 86.9 on 247, good enough for 6th place in the Big Ten. Only one of this year's recruits...

    Map showing popularity of team by metro area

    It is much easier to root for a school when your tax dollars support it. Look at Wisconsin at over 50% support. Nowhere near that number of residents attended the school, but they all think of it as "their school" because they help pay for it.

    Must "up our game"

    The best news about the addition of USC and UCLA to the Big Ten is that men of all ages attending the games will now have a chance to see, live and in person, the pom pon girls and cheerleaders from UCLA and USC. While the further expansion of the Big Ten leaves me cold, the inevitability of...

    Next 2023 commit

    By turning down the Longhorns for us, Holt just put a great deal of pressure on Brendan Sullivan. For three years, he can tell him: "I had the chance to catch passes from Arch Manning, but decided to have you throw to me instead."

    Next 2023 commit

    Despite weeks of rumors to the contrary, it seems now that NU has whiffed on Parker Jenkins. For months, he was the only RB we offered. TOS projects him going to LSU. While I think it is always advantageous to take a RB in each class, we are loaded at the position, not just currently, but for...

    Looking at the lower ranked commits, 3 are seemingly corners

    Almost all of these guys were offered and taken late, apparently as second or third choices after our top choices in those years spurned NU for other offers. Gray, however was clearly a top choice among our coaches, committing very early. The coaches also appear to be quite high on both Sullivan...

    Big Ten West is weak: but, could we see 6 of 7 team bowl by season's end?

    These pre-season reports are always fun to read, though many appear just plain funny in December. Despite the optimism of this Husker writer, many friends of mine see Nebraska as an impotent poser with Frost entering his last year. We'll see. As for the 'Cats, we do not seem to have any really...

    new commits to come?

    The other site has "crystal ball" predictions for Damon Walters and Ashton Porter. We also have Smith Snowden (DB), Krystian Williams (WR), Camp Magee (TE), Chico Holt (TE), Parker Jenkins (RB) and Adepoju Adebawore (DE) as guys who have shown real interest. I'll settle for 5 out of 8. Realistic?

    Things are getting pretty interesting..

    NIL payments are legal, though state laws regarding them vary. If NU has used/is using payments of this kind, I am confident that its' doing so complies with applicable laws. That said, I have heard of no alumni or boosters funding NIL payments. Though, at least one Evanston-based vendor...

    Things are getting pretty interesting..

    I tend to be an optimist regarding NU football, but I never expected this type of recruiting success after last season's results, the advent of NIL money, and the near total collapse of the NCAA as a regulatory body. Perhaps we are seeing a reaction to the threat to amateur/college athletics...

    stadium--any news

    Given the gun violence, car jackings, and other threats in Chicago these days, very few of us will venture to Soldier Field, much less Sox park. Things must change in a hurry.

    Question for the experts on the Board

    Thanks. Would it be fair to say that we might look like we are in a 4-2-5 at times? One DL and one safety are hybrid LBs.

    B1G to scrap divisions?

    Change is bad...very, very bad. Seriously, this is not good for the Big Ten. First, a playoff makes sense between champions or in case of a tie; not so much between a winner and an also ran. The nonsensical nature of a playoff between 1st and 2nd place finishers is highlighted by the liklihood...

    Happy anniversary Mr. and Mrs. LouV!!

    I second that. Looking at the picture, I feel compelled to add that which my friends always tell me - he reached out of his league and married up. Thanks to Lou for all he does. Celebrate!

    stadium--any news

    Columbus found her a lot easier, but look at what trouble he is in today. The world today is no place for heroes or old men. I also think that the stadium is generating little to no interest among even the most rabid fans - we all have bigger and more pressing concerns right now regarding...
