I'm just glad we avoided Malzahn. His wife said some Christian things.

Kansas State Football / Re: KU football is hurting

WTF is milk toast?
Quote
Had mangino's witch hunt not happened, KU would have won some more conference games in his last year. Gill was an abortion from the get go and was hired because he was a successful player, socially acceptable and a milk toast. He had prove nothing at Buffalo and had been turned down on multiple occasions to coach in Nebraska. Had Mangino never been fired we would be a serviceable big 12 team averaging five or six wins the season. We would be the Vanderbilt of the big 12.

I have watched KU football since the 70s and fans on here who continue to bitch and moan and call for Charlie's head are why there is no program. Suck it up and let Charlie recruit and build a program. But "ooooh I am embarrassed at work by the Mizzou or KSU fans..." Boo boo.... Suck it up. Gill killed this ****** program and now Charlie needs to rebuild it fro. The ground up. Is he a cocky, fat sob, yes, but he can recruit and with zenger we will eventually have a remodeled stadium and a team who can fill it. Be patient or watch us continue to struggle forever. I have refined myself to believing that it is now or never.

RUNZA! Barf!
GF went to creighton and was super excited when a runza opened up in KC. I had it once. It was terrible.
Excuse me sir, do you want fries with that hot pocket? O you want cheese in your hot pocket? That will be an extra dollar.

Richard says: I’m 50 years old and strictly from a fans point of view if I had a wish, I would put us back in the Big 12 in a second.
Trading road trips to Purdue and Illinois for all the days trips I made to Kansas and KState, no thank you. I won’t drive 10 hrs for a road trip. Michigan and Ohio State do not have the same feelings that I had playing Oklahoma and even Texas. Adding Maryland and Rutgers, I doubt any Husker fan cares about that.
I find myself watching other Big 12 games on TV and I could care less about other Big 10 games. I have more apathy for Husker fb than I have ever had in my lifetime, and joining the Big 10 is the major reason for it.
For now it’s the dumbing down of “N” FB. The BIG is a good place for this program to retrograde while it continues to idle in neutral.
I feel like the Big 10 is a novelty that is wearing off. It sounded good in the beginning to make road trips to Michigan and Ohio State and now that the new factor has worn off its time to go back to the Big 12.
Bottom line is I think those that want to go back to the Big 12 are feeling a sense of apathy setting in for the Nebraska fan base. They may cite 11 am games, lack of rivalries, travel distances, recruiting, etc. I wrap all those reasons for anti-Big 10 and lump it all into one issue and its the apathy I feel setting in for Nebraska fans (or at least me).
Do I wish we were still in the Big 12? Well, let me put it this way… I wish the conference was stable enough and unified enough not to be forced to make such a move. Right now we are just another team in the Big 10. OSU, Michigan, Wisconsin are the darlings right now, and certainly that has something to do with our performance on the field. But, would we have been the 11am game or 11:30 four times by now? I don’t think so.
To me that’s a sign of where we rank right now with the Big 10 powers that be. We were a leader in carrying the Big 12 brand… even in losing. It’s not the case in the Big 10, but winning will help that.
I do miss the old friends in the Big 12. I think our fans do as well. There was no real excitement for the Illinois game, unlike if Iowa State rolled into town with similar circumstances. I was at Purdue, and I’ll compare it to KU. However, KU was always a bit of a party. KU was excited to see us, we were excited to be there. Purdue was a bore.
Bob says: Guess I was in the minority wondering what all the high fivin’ was about when NU left the Big 12 for the Big 10. I guess the desire to get away from Texas was so great that everyone forgot that we made fun of Big 10 football back then.
I had Big 10 fatigue last year when our ABC regional coverage gave us some Michigan St-Indiana match up rather than Kansas St-Texas. Most of Big 10 football makes my eyes bleed.
How long before it gets old to drive to some crappy Big 10 game that is 12 hours away rather than the old familiar crappy games in the Big 12 that were only 4 hours away.
Gotta hand to Osborne though, trading in membership from the worst division in a BCS conference to the NEW worst division in a BCS conference. Always nice to be able to brag about how many “championship” games you played in. All the while knowing full well that fans will pay to watch it no matter what.

« on: October 18, 2013, 09:23:46 AM »the stuff about the country specific index funds was pretty interesting though. not really surprising I guess. and the general tone of the piece was great. I mean, ultimately they are just shilling for their fund.
It was a very interesting article, thank you for posting Steve Dave.

Meh...
If it's like Goose Island, many stipulations were set. Whats nice is the company that bought them aren't ginormous, but big enough to financially help. Looks like sponsorships, management, brewing location, etc. are staying around and it's more of a revenue stream.
