They definitely had their chances. I won't be watching the title game either. Honestly, when Alabama got in without even playing for a conference title, it soured me to the point of not caring at all.

 

Yep, me too. But, they really need to go to an 8 team playoff.

 

Agree. I think that's the only way you get around the issues that we saw this year.

BTW - your new coach went out with a bang I see. Unbeaten year and all.

 

Yeah, that was a great game! I think it showed a lot of character, for him to go back and coach them in the bowl. I think Nebraska is in good hands now.

 

That is the one thing I really like about Frost - he handled that situation the right way and it seems like his players have a lot of respect for him. I really think this is a good move for Nebraska.

 

The SEC is where it is at!

 

Yes, they do need to expand the current playoff scenario.

 

Happy New Year, Gang! Back to the grind, as they say! A cold grind that is....

The Super proved it's meddle in Erie this weekend, & it is scheduled to go under the knife on the 15th to fix the battle scars from that trip to Buffalo. It's also scheduled to get rust-proofed, under-coated & a spray-in bedliner in early February. Now I just need to find a permanent fix for that d*** instrument panel!

I found a pair of stainless N-fabs for $150 just because the previous owner "upgraded" to AMP Research powered boards. They're only cab length, but I can't argue with the price. I just have to convince the wife that a good deal is a good reason to spend more money!

As for the college football discussion, the fact that UCF showed up against Auburn proves that they were legit & deserved to be in the playoffs. I wish the NCAA would just do what is right instead of what is most profitable. It's not like they're going to lose money.

 

Morning Craig, Jason! I don't think you'll ever see a Group of 5 team in the playoff, the commission will see to that. A big reason Frost is coming to Nebraska, or would have gone to another Power 5 job, if Nebraska hadn't be available.

 

It seems anymore that most big-time sports is down to $$$. NCAA stands to make bigger money if Power 5 conferences get the playoff spots rather than the "Group of 5" teams. I think UCF could have given any of the playoff contenders a run for their money, and dare I say beaten them. But we'll never find that out.

 

Morning Jason, Bill, Steve, Pat, Craig, John, Bud, Ken, Jim, Chris, and anyone that I missed.

I was pulling for UCF to win their game the other day and am glad that they went 13-0. That is a nice send off for Frost and his coaching staff.

 

Morning Neil.

I think UCF going unbeaten, especially finishing it against the SEC on a neutral field, says a lot about their program, their coaching, and the quality of players they have. No matter who wins next Monday, they'll be the only unbeaten in the country...

 

Morning Neil! I'm going to be curious to see where the committee ranks them in the final poll.

 

Pat did I hear correctly that Frost is bringing the entire coaching staff from UCF with him to Nebraska?? I thought that I heard it during the broadcast the other day.

 

I am very interested in that too, Pat. Especially since they've not lost a game.
