Nebraska ain't what it used to be.

Callahan is no Osborne.

And the fans are well aware of the fact that Callahan is not Osborne. His contract was extended last week. One of the local TV stations had a poll asking if his contracted should have been extended - almost 60% said no.

I'm not a Nebraska fan, nor will I be in the state next week when the USC - Nebraska game happens. My team is 0-2 and after Saturday - it's defintely going to be a long season. Thank God for tailgating before the game.

GP - our game against Iowa is on the Versus network this coming Saturday - so if I didn't have tickets I'd probably be figuring out how I was going to watch it. Though I'm assuming the sports bar down the street has it - they're one of the gamewatch locations for Omaha.

Well, we have Solich now -- and he's done very well for us. Our football program was a trainwreck for many years. We went to a bowl (although a minor one) last year for the first time since 1968.

I'd advise checking with your local sports bar now, so in case they don't get Versus, you can find one that does.

Good luck.

I really can't blame them. The guy's a classless clown. His hillbilly comments and his general lack of respect for his own program and others just don't belong at Nebraska.

It seems though that Pederson pretty much tied his own fate to that of Callahan.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -Injured Michigan quarterback Chad Henne will not play against Notre Dame.
Wolverines coach Lloyd Carr did not provide a timetable for Henne's return, listing him Monday as week-to-week. The senior was knocked out of the second half of Saturday's 39-7 loss to Oregon. Freshman Ryan Mallett will start against the Fighting Irish on Saturday at home in a matchup of storied teams with 0-2 records.

The Big Ten is down this year. Minnesota needed OT to beat Miami

But at least Michigan has been punked twice....so maybe things ain't that bad.

Miami, FL? Miami, OH?

I thought Oklahoma (OU) played Miami.

Oh man, my head hurts.

Miami (the one in Ohio) is the arch rival of OU (the one in Ohio) where I went to college.

OU (the one in Oklahoma) is where our son went to college.

I heard there is a Miami in Florida, too. My co-worker who was a captain on their first national championship team told me that.

So, which OU played which Miami? (the one in Florida)

And what the hell is a Ragin' Cajun? I thought OU (the one in Ohio) played them and came from behind to win.

And which way is up?

Help.

Hmm. Maybe we'll be passing the ball more instead of running it? Cuz maybe this guy can actually GET a ball to a Michigan player, not our opponent.
