Just a few notes as this Thursday is winding down:
Congrats to Bill Snyder and Trev Alberts for getting into the College Football Hall of Fame, but most notably Snyder. Nebraska had some battles with him dating all the way back to the old Big 8 days, and there's no way you can't think anything but the utmost respect for Bill and the way he has built that program. Just as a reminder, when he came to Manhattan in 1989, they were considering dropping football altogether. Ten years later, he had them competing for national championships. There are few coaches who can do what he's done at Manhattan, Kansas.
On another note, Jim Mora Jr. of UCLA is a great coach, but needs to learn a little respect. It does not look good on him 1. brushing off a handshake from Snyder and 2. trying to confront Snyder like he did at the end of the Alamo Bowl. If you have a problem with the way K-State handled the end of that game, take it up with his players, not Coach Snyder himself.
Rockets got two out of three on their road trip, with the lone loss being in Chicago. That's solid, but in the West this year you have to take care of business against the teams you're supposed to beat, point blank. This year in the West you can drop from second to fifth in a heartbeat.
Heard new Nebraska football coach Mike Riley on ESPNU during the Nebrasketball game tonight, and I continue to be impressed with the way he handles himself. If he handles himself like that, then I can be happy with him being the face of the football program, unlike Coach Bitter Beer Face (Pelini) who won nine every year but was a terrible look for the football program.
On that note, much needed win for Nebrasketball as they got their two best inside players back. I just hope they play good ball the rest of the way; they dug themselves quite a hole with all the injuries and terrible losses in the first two months of the year.
Until next time....
