Musings on Mangino: The Future of KU Football
Our KU friend Hiphopopotamus free-styled some brilliance on this subject yesterday and it's an absolute must-read if you want to understand why Mangino's days are numbered. KU AD Lew Perkins (himself a former 400 pounder - what is the Jayhawk fascination with gluttony?) is making a paper trail...
OT: Tommy Bowden Fired
This news would be huge. Clemson, according to "sources" that Mark Schlabach at ESPN have talked to, just fired Tommy Bowden. Clemson started out 3-3 this year, including a loss to your Marlyand Terrapins. Dabo Swinney, the wide receivers coach, was named interim head coach. Bowden's never really...
Reviewing Big 12 Firings Proves I am a Dangerous Man
On July 17th, 2007, I did the old "Big 12 Coaches Most Likely to be Fired in 2007" article. July is a perfect time for such an article, as no one has called me on it since. However, we can better ourselves through a process of review and part of that process is accountability.Here's the order I...
Fire Bill Callahan! Oh... wait....
Here's what they're saying about the firing of Bill Callahan: Stewart Mandel sums it up very well: Along the way, he stopped recruiting in-state players, eliminated Nebraska’s steep tradition of walk-ons, disillusioned former Huskers greats … basically, it was a four-year nightmare, and I’m sure...
Welcome to D-Day for Nebraska Football
The Lincoln Journal-Star reports that the media was informed to be on alert for e-mail announcements starting at 6:30 am Saturday morning. I predicted a couple of days ago that nothing would happen until Monday...but that looks to be wrong. The issue with the Nebraska-Creighton basketball still...

I'm not sure, but I think Nebraska fans are more interested in Saturday's meeting between Tom Osborne and Bill Callahan than tomorrow's Nebraska-Colorado matchup. Will Callahan survive? Does the coaching search start in less than 48 hours? Every TV station will set up operations outside Memorial...
What Would YOU Do If You Were in Tom Osborne's Shoes?
Many fans think they know what Tom Osborne will do with the Nebraska football coaching staff. Many fans think Tom Osborne already knows what he is going to do. Some fans even wish that Tom Osborne had already done what they think he is going to do. Some people just hope that Tom Osborne is going...
So What Are You REALLY Thinking, HuskerNation?
After the Iowa State game, I met up briefly with Corn Blight and said that if the Huskers didn't improve significantly, they might go 0-for-October. He poo-poo'ed that talk at that time, but now after Missouri Mizery, I'm not so sure about that either.Let's be honest here. None of the three...
Fire Kevin Cosgrove?
I recall an e-mail exchange between myself and Corn Blight from three years ago discussing where Sports Illustrated's Stewart Mandel implied that Bret Bielema could spark Wisconsin's defense when he replaced Kevin Cosgrove, much like how Bo Pelini sparked the Huskers defense the year before. ...
