Great article on what makes Huskers the saddest, most entitled, most delusional fan base in all of sports.

This is the most honest, succinct description of the state of Nebraska football that I've read. Mind you, I've said the same rough-ridin' thing for 10 years.

Husker fans were going crazy on twitter, all for a 6-7 record and a foster farms bowl trophy.

We are going to end up 7-6 or 6-7. Either way, what a disgraceful season.

Was this the first time a Nebraska fan has attempted to rush the field?  How the mighty have fallen.

Sometimes there are different ways to be relevant. 

From "Blood in the Fields"

A few young men were kickin’ it outside a video store, dressed in red shirts and belts, one in a Nebraska Cornhuskers cap. The guy wasn’t wearing that hat because he supported a midwestern football team. It was the red that mattered, and with the white capital N in front, you’d think this apparel was custom-made for Norteño gangbangers. I wondered if the sports apparel vendors understood or even cared why Northern California had this surprising epidemic of Cornhuskers fever.

Phillips, 40, was facing the possible death penalty in the alleged murder of his former cellmate at Kern Valley State Prison.

    T Osborne, to AP, on Phillips:"All his correspondence with me in spite of circumstances have been fairly upbeat... didn't see that coming."

    Osborne, to AP, (cont.): "He was very loyal to his friends and yet he had some anger issues and couldn't overcome the demons in his life."

    Osborne to AP: "Things weren't going in a good direction for him. All I can say is I feel very bad..."

    Osborne to AP: "I guess we feel like we did what we could for him. Whatever it was, it wasn't enough."

 Not too many people, if any, are purely "good" or "bad", but sometimes it's ok to call someone you used to make a lot of money a POS.

They were the kings of roid rage back in the last few years of Osborne.    But Cornhole fans would go nuclear as they explained their strident in-house PED testing procedures.

Did Peter say that the NU team was going to suck the KU crowd off about the 3:36 mark?

Any guess anything that motivates a team to "perform."

Coroner: Ex-NFL RB Lawrence Phillips committed suicide in cell

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A California coroner said imprisoned former NFL running back Lawrence Phillips had a note that read "Do Not Resuscitate" taped to his chest when he was found hanging in his cell.

The autopsy report released Wednesday indicated that a Kern County deputy coroner found another note and a picture of Phillips and an unnamed child tucked into Phillips' left sock.

The coroner ruled that the 40-year-old Phillips committed suicide in Kern Valley State Prison in January. He was awaiting a trial that could have brought him the death penalty.

Phillips was charged with killing a former cellmate, 37-year-old Damion Soward, the cousin of former USC and NFL wide receiver R. Jay Soward.

The coroner provided the report to The Associated Press under a public records request.
