Not sure of the percentage, and no exact numbers have been released, but they have said that sales are 90% higher than last year and have easily surpassed the record of 12000.

No, because even then she was "Madonna". "Pre-Madonna" could refer to those wonderfully happy, carefree times before we know who the heck she was......

5. University forgot to not let fans bring their own coolers.

Yeah, I'm thinkin' 'Bama spends $17.5M on toilet paper and Q-Tips alone....

We experienced many days like this when I was growing up. We heated water on the stove instead of a microwave, but reading this still brought back some bad memories. After dad died and left mom with 7 kids under the age of 15, mom kinda crawled into a bottle and left us kids to fend for ourselves. Taught me how to appreciate things in a way my kids never well, and I couldn't be happier about that part of it. I'm sorry, we were talking basketball here.....

We need to change the rules, but until we do, the schools who flaunt the rules need to be held accountable. There are too many kids out there who take pride in doing the right thing, too many schools that put proper ahead of profit. You wanna change how the game is played then by all means change it. But until you do, legal technicalities should not get in the way of doing the right thing....

It's only not about the Ws to the teams not getting the Ws.....

Here's the bottom line, folks. If any of these allegations are true, Miami needs to be punished. Make the process as fair as you can, but when the NCAA has so many restrictions in what it can and can't do, the process shouldn't be the issue. There are thousands of kids at universities across the nation who compete in sports fairly and honorably, who don't go looking for yachts and hookers and booze, and these kids are treated unfairly every time something like this happens. If this type a crap should be okay, then change the rules so everyone can partake without breaking the rules. But for the vast majority of people in our society, doing the right thing is at least as important as winning, and they shouldn't be punished because the rule breakers use the process to get away with stuff....

This is the problem with the rent-a-team philosophy. The greatest players in the world are not always guaranteed to work well as a team. When you change key players every year, expect inconsistencies, especially early in the year. KU has tremendous upside, though, as the season prgresses and they work with each other more, they'll improve tremendously. Final four minimum for these guys....

I wonder if he could sell a few more shares. I'd like to move to Florida.....

"I've given my all for Tennessee, and our family appreciates all this University and the Knoxville community has given us. Especially the buyout."

FIFH....

So, is week 9 up yet?

Obviously to pi$$ off Roy Williams. Seems to be working.....

As for my choice of a replacement, we need someone who will recruit and can then coach the players he brings in (Meyer). He needs to have a system that will stay in place even as assistaant coaches come and go (Saban). He either needs to be a defensive guy who can bring in a great offensive coordinator or visa versa. We have great facilities and a great tradition, and there should be no reason kids won't play here.....

It would certainly be nice to be competitive in our conference, but that seems to be an "unreasonable expectation" with the Pelini team.....

I think it's recruiting. The guy can obviously coach, as he proved a few years back. But the shelves are empty now, and this is the first team that is all his. He also tends to be overly loyal to coaches not getting the job done. Cotton is the most glaring example, but how long did it take him to get rid of Watson? His loyalty there gave us the most anemic NU offense in a generation just when we needed, not a great offense, but an average one, to win titles.

In the early 90's, the country wrote off the Huskers as too slow and too old-fashioned to compete with the Florida schools. Tom Osborne went out and changed his recruiting philosophy and made us great again. Keep in mind that while he won NCs 3 out of his last 4, that fourth was a trick play away and a fifth was a missed field goal. So don't anyone tell me it can't happen here any more.

As for the argument that Osborne was allowed time, his teams always looked like Nebraska. We didn't get blown out and allow teams to score 50, 60 points on a regular basis. It was also a different time then, when money and the 24-hour news cycle didn't rule CFB....

NU's history was built on strong defenses and O-Lines that wear out defenses, opening holes for the likes of Tommie Frazier and Mike Rozier. What I've seen since the fateful day in October of 2001 has been mediocre O-Lines and defenses that, while good at times, always seemed a step behind and a bit clueless. As much as it pains me to say this, Pelini's best team and our best defense since '97 was brought in by Bill Callahan. Now, Callahan couldn't coach on the college level (Suh was a case in point), but he apparently could recruit. And when your best team was made up of players recruited by Bill, you have no business coaching at this level....

Ummmm....... Why?

You say "cankles" like it's a bad thing!

Unless, of course, the hands are yours....

His "role" on the team. Pelini's knee-jerk reaction to the debacle Saturday (the latest of many) was to shuffle things and change up some personell. Rome didn't want to accept that, and he left. I won't say the program is in shambles, but if we finish .500, I'll be surprised.

FIRE BO PELINI!!!!!!!
