No bowl game.

Unfortunately, they're not quite dead yet. There are three bowl slots left and 8 teams still trying to get bowl eligible. Army has to beat Hawaii and Navy, they're out, so that's 7 for 3 spots.

Boston College has to beat Pitt. Boston College is also the only team ahead of Nebraska in the apr rating for potential 5 win teams.

Oregon State has to beat Oregon

Colorado has to beat Utah

UL Monroe has to beat Louisiana

Liberty has to beat New Mexico State

North Carolina has to beat NCSU

Michigan State has to beat Maryland

The first four teams have no chance. If all four of those teams lose, two of the other three would have to win to keep Nebraska home again. The last time they made a bowl they were one of those apr charity cases.

Seems like those last two are pretty achievable.

Imagine sitting down to root for Liberty to win at something just so you can watch your Huskers lose a couple weeks later in the season's crappiest bowl game.

What a great day for Brook Berringer, in as much as he can still have great days.

BC won.
Liberty won.
Michigan State won.

More games still to come.

NU's backdoor bowl hopes are dead.

Now the team has more time to focus on themselves.

I've had old white people ask that, stunning how often it still happens, never had anyone bold enough to ask for a picture.

They’re missing out; they could’ve had very personal photographs with the one and only Terry Pierce.

About 10 years ago, I coached against Terry Pierce in flag football. My boys whooped their ass.

I think it triggered Tommie when Frost said he inherited a mentally weak team.

Hell, I’m a 6’3” un-Athletic looking white dude and if I wear any college basketball team’s shirt there’s about a 50/50 I get asked if I played for them

He's dead.  So I guess a great day for him is maggot crap and dust.
Hot time in Kat town tonight.

Cross post. Good/bad to see my point about sexual and racial harassment actually applied in one fell swoop.

When she appealed the finding, she said then-Nebraska Title IX Coordinator Tamiko Strickman told her that race discrimination claims "will never be fully investigated [by IEC] because students on campus have a right to free speech."

I guess I should give up on white people actually caring about white supremacy.

That's a weird thing for the title ix director to say. I'm curious what the racial discrimination was then because the article makes it seem like it was specifically and repeatedly directed at the student and I can't think of how that would not be investigated.
