Not a fan of his writing, but I actually enjoyed that column. I think I've hit my yearly quota now...lol

Also, those games at Memorial Stadium with the freezing rain and the howling wind and nothing around for 100 miles to hide behind but corn stalks? They're not fun. Put it this way: You're going to have LOTS of visiting team tickets to re-sell.

You know what might impress them, though? Your bowl record. You're 24-23 all time. You better knock that crap off.

In the Big Ten, that's just showing off.


Good stuff

I sincerely dislike his writing as well...His TV packages are even worse.

Rick really can't help himself because he's always been a product of the East Coast snobbery. His type always looks down on flyover country.

That's alright. The Big 10 has always enjoyed it's vast superiority!

Welcome to the family, Nebraska.

I actually came to enjoy his last page article in SI. Never really cared for his other stuff, though.

The first thing Nebraska needs to know is that NU in the Big Ten stands for Northwestern, not the cornhuskers...
