      1. I know you are jesting, but with a new stadium, and that fact that the U is in the Twin Cities rather than Lincoln, and the appearance that one can build a competitive program at the U now, why would a coach leave Minnesota for Nebraska? I mean, I am FROM Nebraska. I have no desire to live there, and the in-state recruiting base is much smaller. Jerry should be able to build a sustainable program that can compete for B1G titles regularly and maybe even get into the national title picture occasionally.

        1. "This is no excuse or nothing, but I would tell you our operational facilities at Northern Illinois are better than we have here," Kill said. "There's no comparison. We could go to Northern Illinois and look at their end-zone complex, the weight room and offices. It makes a difference in one thing: national recruiting."

          This was from 2 years ago, but the Cornhuskers have some of the best facilities in the country, plus there is no doubt that football is the No. 1 priority at the school. I'm not saying he will take it, I don't think he will as long as he believes Minnesota is committed to improving the facilities, but Nebraska will most likely get a better bowl bid than Minnesota and their coach was fired for that.

      1. Yes, they tried the outsider route once and got Callahan'd, so I bet this search is even more stacked with insiders than the one just run by the Twins. If they get an outsider, it'll be one a LOT more sexy than Jerry Kill!

  1. Making my way back to Texas from Indiana. Flights today were expensive even when I bought them weeks back. Flying between two relatively small market airports didn't help either. Silver lining: it was only $15 to upgrade to business select, which means priority boarding (hello, emergency row leg room) and a free beer.

      1. I am working on a return to Prague, so I don't expect to be in Texas past my brother's wedding in June.
