[Husker] PSU/NU

[Andy Knipp]

I tend to disagree (respectively of course) to our list manager. Games are
often won during the week of practice before the game. Now PSU had a week
off, so a good part of the game plan was already in place before this popped
up. However I see it hard to see the team get a lot of productivity in this
week of practice.

If I was Bo or his staff, I'd think it complicates the preparation.  

Penn State becomes less predictable, and it is hard to factor in the 
emotional impact all this will have on the coaches (whoever they are),
the team, the crowd, etc.  

Has there been a big change in the point spread?   I think someone said
they saw Nebraska favored by around 2 1/2 points today, but what 
was it a few days ago?

I'm reminded that in back in the 70's, Devaney announced he was retiring
something like a year before he actually retired.  Rumors about
the circumstances under which Bob stepped down were widespread, most
involving his personal life.  

But that was 40 years ago, these days I doubt the media would let
someone, even Paterno, have a full year 'victory lap' now.
