    YoutubeTV/ESPN

    If it comes down to it I’m going Hulu Live, it’d be overall cheaper for me anyway. Since I’m already paying for Disney+/Hulu bundle I’ll just upgrade to the live bundle, probably save 20-30 a month. Was paying a bit more to use YYTV because I think it’s generally better, but whatever.

    Breaking Rhule has signed extension

    Even though there's no no-strings base increase, I wouldn't say it's entirely no cost to Nebraska. If things go tits up it's gonna cost us more to bail out. But if we end up having to make that decision it's probably not until at least the end of next year, so the additional 2 years doesn't hurt...

    Do you want Rhule to stay at Nebraska

    Statistically, coaches tend to have their biggest gains over the previous staff in year 2 and to a lesser extent in years 3 and 4. After that the returns start to flatten. So if they haven't made a huge jump by years 3-4 it's unlikely they ever will, and probably not worth holding on in hopes of...

    Do you want Rhule to stay at Nebraska

    If I had to choose now it’d be no. Obviously anything can happen but based on the results this season so far I’m expecting us to fall flat in the latter half yet again. Combine that with the wasted first season from the Sims debacle, bizarre game management decisions that have directly cost us...

    Indiana football, being a legit NC contender, proves that…

    That’s half the point though. Cuban didn’t jump in until he saw this badass coach winning games he shouldn’t be. It all starts with coaching - exceed expectations, win some big games, and things start to snowball in the right direction with recruiting, NIL, fan support, etc. Struggle the first...

    Indiana football, being a legit NC contender, proves that…

    It proves that it’s all about coaching, and our fans’ propensity to prefer giving coaches 6 years to “build” makes no sense given the statistical likelihood that if we haven’t struck gold within 2 years we likely never will. Just gotta keep rolling the dice

    Game Thread Nebraska @ Minnesota (Friday, October 17, 7:00pm - FOX)

    Kinda looked like we barely practiced this week with the shitty tackling and terrible offensive gameplan… oh wait

    Does Penn St hire Rhule

    The simulation demands that Dannen panics, signs Rhule to a mega extension, then we immediately fall flat on our face the remainder of the season just like the last time we started 5-1.

    Does Penn St hire Rhule

    Rhule definitely has the reputation of being a program builder but that's probably just because of the jobs he's taken. If I'm a PSU fan I wouldn't necessarily be expecting the typical 3 year cycle if we hired him. Regardless of what happens this year, PSU doesn't feel like it'd be a build from...

    Does Penn St hire Rhule

    dont worry guys his main priority at this point is his wife's hobby business and his kids' hour long commute every day back and forth from brownell talbot. he ain't going anywhere

    Does Penn St hire Rhule

    A lot of folks confident PSU will get a home run splash name after firing a perpetual winner. After all, who in their right mind would fire a coach like Franklin unless you’ve got someone better locked up? But we should remember athletic directors are just people and most people are dumb as...

    Penn State fires Franklin

    Could be wrong but I was under the impression they basically have the mid Atlantic region locked down for recruiting. Also a significantly larger and wealthier alumni base for NIL. But yeah location-wise it’s definitely isolated.

    Penn State fires Franklin

    Wouldn’t any half decent coach want a legitimate chance to win a natty? PSU has the resources to make that an actual possibility and I don’t think you can say the same about this job (in its current state at least).
