Right  now NU is 3-3 in the conference and 13-6 over all, what happens if NU 
goes 5-5  for the remaining games ending up at 8-8 in the conference and 18-11 
overall?  This would be quite an improvement over last season. I cannot 
imagine firing  this coach if that happens, however I guess I never thought they'd 
fire Frank  Solich either. 

I think the suspension of Joe McCray is probably one of  the better things 
that may have happened and we'll see how things play out.  We've got Oklahoma 
State in Stillwater on Tuesday (ESPN+) and Baylor at home  on Saturday (ESPN+), 
and both are winnable games. 

I think the thing  the may do Barry in though is the attendance. I've been 
told that the goal for  this season was averaging 10,000 per home game which we 
are nowhere near doing  (the Missouri crowd of 8134 was a good start though), 
but we can build that  number up though by having good crowds for our 
remaining homes games.  



Good points.  Despite the wide-spread haste to "fire the coach!," a  
respectable record may emerge.  Do you have any specific information on the  Oklahoma 
State telecast?  I know it's an ESPN+ production, but I don't see  it on my 
digital on-screen guide in Lincoln.  That, and that fact that the  President's 
State of the Union address is scheduled, makes me wonder if  following the game 
tomorrow night might be a difficult proposition.
