I’ve been thinking about this project since Ndamukong Suh and Zac Taylor first distinguished themselves in the NFL.

Finally decided to tackle it on the 20-year anniversary of the winter and spring that Taylor walked in and took the Nebraska QB job out of junior college.

Turning off the TV until the selection show. This conversation is annoying. SMU should be in over Alabama. And it’s not a difficult decision.

Edit: A first-year coach in Cignetti and a second-year coach in Dillingham.

Not quite as snappy.
Welcome to the CFP, Arizona State.

What does it say that Kenny Dillingham and Curt Cignetti, first-year coaches whose teams won a total of four games last year, will be coaching in the main event with a path to the national championship?

Paid close attention to the Big 12 championship game. Watched one Iowa State drive. Obvious DPI against Arizona State at the goal line. No flag. Led to a missed FG and empty possession.

Why does this happen in seemingly every game?

First-round/play-in games of the expanded CFP tournament are here today. We’ve been waiting decades for this. I am irrationally happy to watch it all — even the games that only provide a bye in the next round to the winner.

Emmett Johnson to the portal. Ouch. Nebraska will need to find a RB.

Johnson gave some consideration last offseason to going in. He’s headed there this year after the Huskers again leaned on him late in the season. He was a good fit with Dana Holgorsen. But their time together looks done.

Hello from Hollywood. An iconic setting for Nebraska-USC.
