Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

The FSN theme has such a defined time period for me (mid/late 90s  exclusively XII/Pac 10 games).  they took over the old regional Phillips66 supported Big 8/XII telecasts and some of the Prime sports Pac 10 games. 

Yeah, that (preemption) was a big problem in Milwaukee too (Bucks, or College Hockey always trumped those games).  I'd have to spend every Saturday night moving to a sports bar to catch those XII/Pac games.  The Nebraska alumni WI chapter took over Luke's Sports spectacular all the time.  Which was funny, as 'late night' that place was a dance club.  

The owner tried to make it work, when he knew there was a Nebraska night game, he had this partition set up, to try and corral the Nebraska fans to one side of the place, while the DJ/night club part of the place was setting up and getting started.   Quite a mixed bag of patrons by 10:30.  It was probably the one bar (in downtown MKE) that properly gave college football games the focus and respect they deserved.  So many places are all Packers/NFL focus all the time, even Badgers games were at times conspicuously neglected at some establishments during those times.

Yeah those ABCs are my favorite, but they also marked the big Big Ten game of the week for my entire childhood, so I know the nostalgia factor there is high.

Bill Moos:  “We always will have seven home games. I like to play one series with a Power 5 opponent that gets exposure in other conferences and then quality opponents that are FBS-caliber that we will most probably play at home and that will be a pay-out game,” he said. “Hopefully it gives us an opportunity to develop our younger players and entertain our fans.”

If the 7th home game is worth 5 million to UNL they will be prepared to pay Akron 2 million.  It's an easy doubling of your money.  and doesn't take into account all the other advantages to recruiting, the local economy, the high percentage victory in the win column, and so on.

Watts is a hid UW started to recruit, and then stopped. Now we know why.



— Willie Canty is not in Lincoln yet. The offensive lineman still has to finish up a test score, allowing him to qualify. Canty is an important member of the class as he's the only tackle the Huskers elected to take.

— Dominick Watt had hoped to be in Lincoln by June 8, but he also has to finish up a test score before he can qualify and enroll. Watt is one of several receivers the Huskers brought in as part of the 2018 class. Confidence is pretty high both Canty and Watt will be in Lincoln by the time camp starts.

— Troy Walters addressed Maurice Washington at a stop in Geneva. He said things are still progressing for the running back and Nebraska remains positive about getting him as part of the team. Walters said Nebraska knows it can put the right community around Washington and help him grow as a person and a player.

It is cooler here this week than in the Midwest, though it is not that cool of course.  Yesterday was fine in the shade though, nice breeze.  We walked quite a bit.  

Spell check can be annoying.
