Spent some time today with Jim Leonhard’s dad in Arizona. He is not a Badger fan any longer. He is not happy at all how his son was screwed over by UW. Anyone who says Jim is ok with the way things went down is wrong. That being said, Jim has little interest in returning to college game at...

Agreed. I get many people don’t like Matt for various reasons but he can raise money. Don’t just assume he and Frost are tight these days either. Love or hate Matt/Peed family, they are raising serious money for football. There are a lot of other schools they would kill to have a setup where a...

Here is the deal. Since at least 2008ish, Nebraska’s AD has only reported the amount of donor dollars necessary to make the budget balance with a slight surplus. The rest of the money remains in the NU foundation. Back as long ago as the mid 2010s there was $15 millionish per year of donor money...

If you are going to use it mainly for hunting, I would recommend a Honda Pioneer 1000 or a Yamaha Viking. Make sure you get one with power steering. Polaris Ranger is fine, and probably has the softest ride, but the Polaris reliability leaves a bit to be desired. If you are going to be in...

We took our kids(9,7,5) to Tampa last week to see him. Dude is an absolute freak at 73. Has more energy than me at 42. I’m ready to go again sans kids. Missed the last hour of the show. Kids loved it but still a little young.

Oh, I never stopped. I have a button that says Colorado Sucks that I wear to every game. Some dickhead CU fan tossed beer on 17 year-old me and my dad in 1997 at the game in Boulder as we threw our hands in the air after Nebraska scoring a touchdown. Then a bunch of them yelled shit at us as we...

This may be an unpopular opinion but I have a feeling Frost will be a very successful offensive coordinator. Calling plays was not his downfall. In fact, it was probably one of the few things he did well at Nebraska. His offense may only work in certain conferences, or at certain schools, but...

Very accurate. 1890 and The Big Red Collab may be the two flagship operations but there is a lot of money coming from other sources. 1890's annual projected raise alone should put NU near the top the B1G. However, there are still opportunities for other major players. Say for instance, Crete...

Here is what I know. Peeds are footing all administrative costs (Matt's salary, admin salaries, the costs of running the operation if you will). They will also make a sizable donation to the collective each year. That leaves all money collected going to directly to athletes. Very few, if any...

One thing about Greg Smith: he isn’t compromised like nearly every other local media member so he isn’t afraid to speak his mind. Refreshing.

Wonder if there is any chance that Javien Toviano holds off on signing with LSU today given his HS coach is coming to Nebraska?

I always tend to give more weight to what a kid from the south says after he visits Lincoln for the first time outside of gameday and in the middle of the cold winter weather. In the fall there are few places more beautiful than Lincoln on a gameday weekend. This time of year the kids are...

This. Very naive to believe Nebraska couldn’t have landed #2ndChoice if they wanted him. Likely will never know why Turd chose to pursue one over the other. I know it couldn’t have been money because #2ndChoice’s deal will not be substantially better than Rhule’s-and could very well be less.

I disagree. Nobody can know before either of them coach a game who will fare better. Hell, argument can be made Leipold could be better than both. Did you see how his team competed against KSU last night with far less talent and having bad breaks? There is a fine line between success and...

Tickets are gone. So much easier to give them away than using StubHub! Love it!
