Nebraska vs Arkansas For The Plains Conference Championship
The year: 2016. Continually higher energy costs, an eight-year recession, and a concerted effort by lawmakers to "fix" college football have all lead to a complete restructuring of college football with little regard to past rivalries or previous conference affiliations. The affect on Nebraska...
Another of My Occasional Diatribes Against a College Football Playoff
The NCAA has done such an incredibly poor job of selling their non-playoff-format post-season that the the media tends to treat it as a given that everyone wants a college football playoff. I do not want a playoff, and now that the football season is over and the basketball season is near its...

"Playoffs?!?!": A Reply to Garnet and Black Attack's Modest Proposal (Part I)
You know how I love a good playoff argument. I’ve been stating my case against a Division I-A playoff since I first started participating in the blogosphere. I thoroughly enjoy going ’round and ’round (and ’round and ’round) upon the subject. I have no patience whatsoever for state legislators,...
