Why would we even consider going back to that unstable Texas driven conference! We are in a stable conference now and havev the opportunity to climb back into the who's who of college football with our new staff and current leadership. We need to ride this ship and see where it takes us now!

While I miss playing some of the remaining members and I will always recall the good 'ol days, the conference is no more stable today than it was when we left. As long as there is Texas, there will be instability.

B1G is a fair conference where every university is heard and all members generally agree or agree to disagree without putting any one institution at a competitive disadvantage. The Big 12 will always have to contend with the fact that someday Texas may leave the conference.

A return to a very flawed conference will not bring back the Husker glory days. We need to stick with the strength of the Big 10 and adapt the program to once again perform at championship levels.

What makes one think anything would be different if they did go back, wasn't the reason Nebraska changed to begin with was the way they were treated by the Texas schools? Besides, the academic standards are higher in the Big 10, after-all, isn't that the main reason of the college?

We are so close to turning this ship around. The new coach hasn't even coached his first game and his recruiting class is better than any class Bo ever had. We should of made changes 2 years ago after the FU from Bo to the NEB fans. Win the Big 10 and your playing for a National Title!

Just a side note. Sims is a great athlete. Teach him the finer points of being a WR and let him run with them! Big Bodied receivers are always great for a QB.

High ankle sprain versus LA Tech. If Sims is going to be Rhule's guy, he needs to be healthy for Big 10 play. Let Haarberg get the experience while Sims heals.

I love both QBs but must vote for Heinrich as he played lights out and with the so needed clean play protecting the ball. I do believe we can win also with Jeff and our players would have to just follow him looking for the ball coming loose. We can do that too. It's a team.

I would like to believe that our D can come up big and keep their playmakers from gashing us. If we can get pressure on their QB I think we stand a good chance. Our run game should be able to churn clock and keep the ball out of their hands.

Coaching room changes but the game results room never changes. That means that the team room is the problem. No talent. Until the talent room changes the results room is always going to be the same......room.

Because we have no tight end room. Or no room room for that matter. Why can't they just leave the room off and call it tight ends? Does each position group actually have a room?
