Corn Flakes: Back in Action!

by JLew on Jul 14, 2010 4:55 PM CDT in Corn Flakes

We after finishing up some things professionally, and getting prepared to take a new job, JLew is back and I brought Corn Flakes with me. Look for bi-weekly installments again until the season starts going again (or until Jon replaces me with a Cyborg).

Suddenly, the kings of class have gone Dan Gilbert on the Texas Longhorns -- and turned Oct. 16 into the Bad Blood Game of the Year in the process.

Guide to Nebraska for Big 10 Fans

Nebraska and Big 10 fans just love each other right now. But as BOTC explains, the love won't last.

Well, hell, who expects it to? I already hate Iowa. I'm sure it'll take less than about 15 minutes as an official member in the Big 10 before I hate Ohio State. Really, what's love go to do with it? -Jon

I kinda hate Michigan already. -JLew

NU recruit Harper fails to qualify - Omaha.com

He's headed back to junior college this fall. Disappointing, yes...but he still will have two years of eligibility left. My guess is that he's close to qualifying, so he'll play at Navarro Junior College this fall, and be ready to enroll next spring. -HM

I heard a rumor that he maybe here in Jan. -JLew

NE StatePaper.com - BIG 12 PREVIEW: Ranking the Big 12 Running Backs

2. Nebraska Starters: Roy Helu (1,147/10) and Rex Burkhead (346/3) Strengths: Helu is an unusually gifted runner who sheds tackles in a variety of ways and has deceptively good speed. Burkhead is a jack of all trades. He’s good in short yardage, as a pass catcher, as a pass blocker and as Wildcat quarterback. Third-stringer Dontrayevous Robinson is the power back of the bunch, a good short yardage option. Tyler Legate is NU’s fullback, a returning starter. This is Nebraska’s best backfield since 2006.

Bust out your lucky whatevers and rub them for a healthy Helu. -JLew

"This is not SEC football," Gilbert told the newspaper. "This is Big Ten football. The weather is part of the game."

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

NCAA considers ban to early scholarship offers - ESPN

Maybe it's just going to be a weak attempt to put the genie back into the bottle, but anything that tries to put the brakes on the free-for-all that is recruiting is a good start IMHO. I mean, how can anybody really think that a ninth grader is ready to make a decision on college? -HM

Finally, Michigan Stadium can accommodate the entire population of the U.S. Virgin Islands - Dr. Saturday - NCAAF - Yahoo! Sports

Yep that is one big house alright. Should be fun to try and take it over... -JLew

I agree.

Suddenly, the kings of class have gone Dan Gilbert on the Texas Longhorns — and turned Oct. 16 into the Bad Blood Game of the Year in the process.

Apparently we have become Colorado and have started circling the only game that matters on our schedule “with a big red marker”.

We shouldn’t be putting this much on the Texas game. We have K-State the week before and Snyder will have them ready for us. The wildcats will be better this year than most people think. I for one want to go out with a conference title in our last year in the Big XII. Circling one important game isn’t going to get us there.

Really?

Do you not think the Texas game is huge?

I agree, Nebraska can’t overlook other opponents, but after the narrow loss to Texas in the Big XII Championship last year and in other recent games, why not circle it on the calendar?

When I saw the video, I got chills up and down my spine. God forbid we respectful Cornhusker fans show any pride in our team whatsoever.

Wear Red. Be Loud. Beat Texas.

GO BIG RED!!! Or is that too much for you too?

This is what a rivarly game feels like

It’s been so long since we had anything to compare to. You don’t think that Ohio State and Michigan don’t have that game circled?

I agree that NU can’t invest everything into the Texas game, but if used for motivation (0:01 signs up everywhere as well) it can be a great thing. This can give the team focus, and a rallying point. I remember the track coach at Kearney High, Roger Mathiesen who BTW was one of the best coaches I have ever seen, constantly telling us that Hastings was sure to be practicing harder than us. Man they wanted it more. If it was raining out and no one wanted to run, he’d tell us how Hastings was sure to be out there in the rain.

I trust Bo.
