From The Are You Kiddin' File

At least the Cornhuskers' new head football coach won't worry about losing Civil War games.

Coach Canned At Michigan

In Brady Hoke's first year, the Wolverines caped off that season with a Sugar Bowl victory but have regressed each of the last three years with this past season marking their first non-bowl season since 2009.

2014 saw Michigan look like they would have been better coached by Ren Hoek.

Hey, Bo

In seven years, your team never won fewer than nine games.

Still, whether in the Big 12 or Big 10, you could not win your conference title, or qualify for a BCS bowl game.

Losing to Wisconsin and Minnesota robbed your team of a shot at the Buckeyes in the Big 10 title game this year (in your team's lone Big Ten Conference title game, the Badgers took the 'Huskers to the cleaners).

Yes, your teams in those seven years had a very good 67-27 record.

Unfortunately in Lincoln, even that record wasn't good enough.

Not winning a conference title or qualifying for a BCS (or its' successor) bowl in all those years sort of made you a bum.

It also made you unemployed.

In Case You Cared

At State College, Pennsylvania:


Despite a second-half comeback effort, the Penn State Nittany Lions (ranked #12 in the BCS rankings; 8-2 overall, 5-1 in Big-10 play) fell 17-14 at home to the Nebraska Cornhuskers (#19 in BCS; 8-2, 4-2) on Saturday in their first post-Joe Paterno era contest.  Rex Burkhead ran for 121 yards and what turned out to be the game-winning touchdown for the 'Huskers.

Looks Like Next Year

Looks like the Big Ten Conference will hold its' first football championship game at the end of the 2011 season, the year Nebraska officially joins.

Lambeau Field

Could the home of the Green Bay Packers become home to a Big Ten Conference football championship game?

Nebraska To Big Ten: It's Official

What has been suspected for some time became official on Friday.

The move takes effect July 1 of next year.
