One measure of my feelings for a college football program is by answering the following question: Which team do I love beating and running up the score against in my PlayStation2 NCAA Football game? Easy: Nebraska. Sorry Wolf..... I am trying to run up my post count. Why wouldn't you like Nebraka Football. It was built by men like Devaney and Osborn that beleived in honor and principles. Despite the many jokes during our run these men really did believe in hard work, decency, and teaching these players life lessons and it wasn't just about winning.

Omaha, NE (AP) -A seven-year old boy was at the center of a Douglas County courtroom drama today when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible. The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Nebraska Cornhuskers, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone. I'm sorry, but I couldn't let shag's post get buried in this dicussion. It brought a much needed chuckle to my Monday. Thanks shag!

I nominate (R)uffda for Nebraska's new AD. If only for the hilarity that would take place.

I know it isn't the big sport there, but are they making progress in men's basketball? I can't remember. That has been a weak spot for the department in the past. I know it isn't a hoops hotbed, but it would be nice for them to make the NCAAs.

I think the AD knew he was on the way out and extended Callahan on purpose to get back at the Husker nation! Score one for him, now we get to watch Nebraska scramble.

I have a hard time believing the Nebraska vb program doesn't turn a profit.

I have a hard time believing the Nebraska vb program doesn't turn a profit. I don't think there's another college VB team in the country with the budget of Nebraska's. If they had a larger gym they'd probably turn a profit.

to my knowledge and correct me if i am wrong, i think the only program to have ever turned a profit is Hawaii

Adidavb, you may be correct. I would think that Hawaii would have even a tougher time than NU to turn a profit for VB. I know that they average more fans, but the distances they have to travel for matches would run the budget dry pretty quick. That is the biggest reason Nebraska doesn't turn a profit. So many flights to small college towns.

Ok, so Nebraska Football program is down, and has been down for a number of years.
when a high-profile coach at a good school in any sport leaves, one of two things happens. either the new coach maintains the level of competition (Such as Stanford when Don Shaw left) or the program goes down hill.
Are there many instances of a once-great power turning things around and becoming nationally competitive again? Or has the football landscape changed so much that Nebraska and Notre Dame can't compete anymore with the USC's and the LSU's of the world.
Does this happen in other sports?

How quickly we forget how bad Oklahoma football was after Switzer left and hire Stoops and three years later back to dominance. Huskers will be back!
