December 1, 2007 has come and gone, which means that this wild and crazy season is over. No one was great, everyone claimed to be good, and we are left with a system that is designed to give us a 1 vs. 2 game—based on the opinions of 167 people who don’t watch every game [...]

From, as always, Awful Announcing: Tonight: The Battle of the Techs, with the lovely Erin Andrews on the sidelines. I might watch, since there’s nothing else sports-related on television, but these two teams are seriously dull. Saturday: Early Games: Wisconsin at Ohio State on the Big Ten Network (noon Eastern). For those of you without [...]

As the fans start to arrive in Lincoln and Lee Corso tries to figure out where Tom Osborne is, both teams are handling the press pretty well. SC is focused on Nebraska and doesn’t care if they are #1 or not: Terrell Thomas said, “You can’t control the rankings, and it doesn’t matter who’s ranked [...]

Nebraska fans are preparing for the upset; let’s just hope that the team is as ready. Even though it’s been a decade since Nebraska was a National Champion, going for the goalposts at a program with that much tradition seems pretty idiotic no matter who the opponent is.

In his 9/12 blog posting, ESPN.com’s Bruce Feldman gives us this from Nebraska OL Matt Slauson regarding USC: “That was kind of an intimidation factor there … Initially we came out scared.
