On Thursday, Penn State suffered an upset loss and Nebraska scored a
last minute road victory, setting up a game in Lincoln on Sunday in
which the NU Women's Basketball team can grab a share of the regular
season title.

PSU did win at least a share of the regular season title with their
last win.  (And I do hope it is their last win of the regular
season.)  I'd guess that if NU wins on Sunday their will be an
additional tropy for them.

Last night's game was pretty fun.  The NU men's basketball team closed
out its history in the Bob Devaney Sports Center with a nice win over
Minnesota.  The crowd was great, officially over 13K. That probably was
paid admission, but the crowd was to the top of the bleacher seats.
They honored the all-Devaney team at half time, with Hoppen,
Piatkowski, and Strickland in attendance.  Tim Miles wound up the crowd
after the game.  He said they'd take the game ball, paint it with the
score as the last game at Devaney and the names of the seniors.  The
three seniors, Almeida, Talley, and Ubel, all had great games.  Talley
was his usual stalwart self, playing the point, though that isn't his
position, and solid defense.  Almeida was huge in the first half and
made his presence felt in the second half when he cleared the lane for
a Ubel drive to the basket when the game was in doubt.  Ubel was
scoreless in the first half but scored big three point plays (basket
and fouls) and sank free throws to cement the win.  Minnesota heaved up
a half-court shot at the buzzer to cut the margin to two points, but it
didn't matter.  I am not that nostalgic about the venue, but it will be
a pretty good Husker memory.

My memories of the Bob are as an alumni. My senior year was the last year in the Coliseum.

I hope Tim Miles can turn the program around. I've supported the basketball team sine the 60's and would love to see them succeed.

Face it, Almeida is huge when he gets out of bed in the morning.  But
he did play well on the offensive end last night.  And he even had
some moments on the defensive end as well.  The announcers mentioned
that Minnesota needed to run the pick and roll in front of Almeida to
get some easy baskets, but Minnesota had some trouble moving the ball
at times last night, and a lot of that seemed to be Nebraska's
perimeter defense was really pretty tight.  I was afraid that everyone
was going to foul out before the 2 minute mark in the second half, but
they played smart and avoided the critical fouls. An entertaining game
to say the least.

And I'm not particularly nostalgic about Devaney either.  Probably due
to the lack of consistent quality wins there over the years.  Sure,
they beat at least one ranked team every year, but have stunk up the
place at other times.  I'm hoping for some consistency from Coach
Miles, and I'm beginning to think he might just get there.

Corn Nation has a piece on the rules changes for next year, including

http://www.cornnation.com/2013/3/8/4079438/2013-ncaa-football-rules-changes-target-ejected-helmet

If this correctly describes the change, it would prohibit teams from 
suiting up more than 100 players - less if they've retired some numbers 
(NU has retired three, IIRC). Am I missing something here? And why is it 
the "Lane Kiffin rule"?

No, that site appears to have multiple errors in 'explaining' the new rules.

Here's what the NCAA posted last month:

  To only allow one player number to be worn by the same team 
  and participate at the same position (e.g., two quarterbacks 
  on the same team are not allowed to have the same number).

A QB and a defensive player could both wear #10.

I thought the rules already required players with duplicate numbers to 
play on opposite sides of the ball (offense/defense). I don't see what 
this changes.

Mike, you could have just said "JON DOESN"T KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT"? or maybe you did that, but in a more diplomatic fashion. 

You need to look at the rule you quoted "multiple players from the same team can't wear the same number?" in conjunction with the rule above it "players that change numbers while a game is being played must report to the referee, who will then announce it". 

It's called, informally, the "Lane Kiffin" rule because last year Kiffin had his backup QB switch jerseys during a game, when the backup QB switched jerseys from his regular #6 to #35 (same number as his punter) against Colorado during a two-point conversion play. 

So? yeah, the way I have it worded is incorrect or misleading. Players can have the same #, but not switch during games without someone knowing, and you cannot have two numbers at the same position, ala Lane Kiffin. 

I should have used the explanation that Mike Nolan uses, which comes from the official NCAA release, but some times we (I have a turd in my pocket?) get so immersed in this stuff that I assume everyone knows what a slimy cretin Lane Kiffin is, and what he does to try to get around the rules even though he did what he did against Colorado. 

Colorado, for crying out loud. 

Lane Kiffin is going to make more money next year than everyone on this list. That's a bloody shame.

Didn't Tom Osborne have two safeties switch jerseys (and number) in the
infamous Orange Bowl loss to Bernie Kosar led Miami ? I seem to recall, from
30 years ago, the TV announcers saying that they switched, hoping to confuse
the redshirt FR Kosar.

I deal with complex rules all the time in my chess work, attempts to
interpret, simplify or paraphrase a rule almost always wind up creating 
situations where the interpretation and the official rule don't match
on a specific situation.  So, I've learned the hard way to cite the
rule THEN give your interpretation of it.  

I believe there's also another pre-existing rule that says a team 
cannot have two players on the field with the same number at any time,
regardless of position.

As I rcall, there was a bowl game this past season where that
inadvertently happened on a special teams play.  (Or at least
most people think it was inadvertent, unlike the USC game.)  And 
I think that play even resulted in the winning points of the game.  
But the officials didn't call it.  I suspect that will be a point
of emphasis in 2013.  

I have friends in Tennessee, Kiffen is still a swear word down there.  

Of the rule changes that made it through the NCAAA committee on
Thursday, the most interesting one will probably be the ejection 
for targeting above the shoulders.  Adam Rittenberg has written that 
there was one ejection in the Big Ten this past season, but there 
would have been seven or eight under the new rule according to the
Big Ten's head of officiating.   I suspect we'll see a number of them
early in the season as the officials try to get a handle on the new
rule, but it'll slow down as the season progresses.  (I wonder if anyone
kept stats on how many players had to leave the game because their helmet
came off, I suspect that also went down as the season went along.)


In general I"m all for more ejections, I think officials don't do it 
often enough and games get out of hand as a result.  It'll be interesting
to see what Big Ten team leads the conference in ejections in 2013.
(My prediction is Michigan State.)

I believe the two players switched numbers for the entire game, not

That was the Pittsburgh / Notre Dame game. ND supposedly had two players with the same number on the missed field goal by pittsburgh that would have won the game for them.

In the end they went to another OT and ND eventually won.

Of the rule changes that made it through the NCAAA committee on
Thursday, the most interesting one will probably be the ejection 
for targeting above the shoulders.  Adam Rittenberg has written that 
there was one ejection in the Big Ten this past season, but there 
would have been seven or eight under the new rule according to the
Big Ten's head of officiating.   I suspect we'll see a number of them
early in the season as the officials try to get a handle on the new
rule, but it'll slow down as the season progresses.  (I wonder if anyone
kept stats on how many players had to leave the game because their helmet
came off, I suspect that also went down as the season went along.)


In general I"m all for more ejections, I think officials don't do it 
often enough and games get out of hand as a result.  It'll be interesting
to see what Big Ten team leads the conference in ejections in 2013.
(My prediction is Michigan State.)

Didn't Tom Osborne have two safeties switch jerseys (and number) in the
infamous Orange Bowl loss to Bernie Kosar led Miami ? I seem to recall, from
30 years ago, the TV announcers saying that they switched, hoping to confuse
the redshirt FR Kosar.  




=========================================================


He did but I don't think he did it during the game.  He did it before the game started IIRC.

Have been reading the discussion about the jersey switch.

Mike McCashland and Dave Burke switched jerseys before the game.  Hence McCashland wore Burke's jersey and vice versa for the entire game.  It was a switch between strong safety and cornerback in an attempt to confuse Bernie Kosar.   

It did not work.

This is correct.

I had thought the change was made at half time; however the Officials were
notified prior to the game. I remember the announcers reporting it in the
3rd quarter. They did not know the change during the first half including
attributing an interception to the wrong person in the first half.

I try not to remember this game. I had to endure a brother-in-law calling
me at half and after the game rubbing it in.

Adam Rittenburg says the B1G will realign geographically in 2014 when 
Maryland and Rutgers come on board. The west division would include the 
six central time zone teams (Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, 
Illinois and Northwestern) plus either Indiana or Purdue (he predicts 
Purdue). Though others have projected Michigan State moving west, he

That makes alot of sense.  Giving both Purdue and Indiana a fixed
game against a team that isn't usually highly ranked makes more
sense than hobbling Michigan St. & Michigan with a tougher game.

Many wanted east-west divisions and there they are.  Welcome to the Big 12
North.  Good news for all those who have come to the point where they hope
the Huskers get as easy a schedule as possible.  Ugh.  Pair this with the
sad state of our non-conference schedule and you get a pretty sad mix.
Hopefully, 9-10 conference games will help off-set this mess with some
quality/interesting opponents from the other division.  The one game that I
never hear folks talk about is the Michigan game.  I would want to protect
that game every year over any other conference opponent.  Two historic
programs and it televises so well!  Those red and white unis vs. the blue
and gold...hi-def football never looked so good.  A great annual match if
there ever was one.

I don't see how that can happen if the conference truly values competitive
balance.  That just looks ugly with one or two games that appear
interesting versus 3-4 every year with PSU, MU and MSU dropping off and
being replaced by UW...

Lousy move if it happens.

Well, somebody convince me that this isn't a reasonable alignment, and
that it doesn't help Nebraska in a certain respect.  And I don't
understand the argument about interesting games.  Did interest fall
off when it was Nebraska and Oklahoma followed by the rest of the Big
8?  Did interest fall off when it was Nebraska and occasionally
Colorado or Missouri and the rest of the Big 12 North?  I think
Nebraska fans don't seem to be too bothered by spending their good,
hard-earned money on games against lesser opponents.  Even if the
season ticket holder doesn't go, the vast majority of those seats have
butts in them.  I know that for a fact because I've put my own
personal butt in those seats for those 'less interesting' games.
Heck, I've got Wyoming tickets for this year only because it might be
the only game I get to see this year.  Would I love it to be Ohio
State instead.  Sure, I'm not stupid, but I think a lot of Husker fans
believe that seeing Wyoming in person is better than watching them all
on TV.

But with the realignment in the B1G, with a 9 conference game
schedule, we play each of the West conference foes (Wisconsin,
Illinois, Northwestern, Iowa, Minnesota, and (Purdue).  While they
aren't the big guys of the B1G, you still have to go out there and
play them and beat them.  The other 3 conference games will come from
the East conference pool.  On average we're going to play one or more
of the big guys every year.  And while I'd argue that the East
conference is probably a bit tougher, it means we have a slightly
better chance of making it to the B1G Championship every year because
our half of the conference won't be quite as tough.

But it all comes down to winning games, regardless of who you play.
Beat everyone you play, and your chances improve greatly.  Become the
B1G Champions, you aren't likely to be left out of a playoff slot.
But drop a game against, say, Northwestern or Minnesota at home, you
probably don't belong in the discussion of champions.

Initially I didn't like this alignment. It does look "weaker".  And I think it'd be cool to play Michigan every year. Don't care about Ohio St. or Michigan State as far as playing them every year, but I was looking forward to a budding rivalry with Michigan.  

But then when you look at it, we DON'T have to play PSU every year, which is fine by me. And yet, we WILL be seeing 3 teams from the East every year, and that means there will be at least 1, probably 2 and sometimes 3 VERY good teams added to our Big 10 schedule every year.  We'll see how it goes, but what if the schedulers in their infinite wisdom gave us Mich, Mich State and Ohio State during a certain year?  Add that to our West conference where Wisky will always be a pest, Iowa/Northwestern/Purdue could be decent, and it becomes a really hard schedule. Granted, those teams in the East will be facing a similar gauntlet.  But being in the East, at least at the state of the current Big 10 landscape, looks like an easier minefield to maneuver to get into the championship game.

Two things I DON'T like about this alignment:

-having to play Wisky every year. Having been there, I have a big distaste for those guys already. Nasty, nasty fan base.
-Eastern teams having a recruiting advantage for East coast kids.  "Come play in our division so your parents can see you play."

Well, if I can ever get the system that the list runs on
upgraded, hopefully I can have a more up-to-date anti-spam filter 
that cuts out more of the junk.  

The first attempt to do an upgrade was frustrating.  I probably
won't try again until some time next week.  

In the mean time, anyone who sends spam will continue to be put
into moderated mode, on the assumption that their computer or
email account may have been compromised.

In the opening college football game at Dallas Stadium this past season,  Alabama played Michigan.  Alabama will play Virginia in Dallas next season and will play Wisconsin in 2014.  Why is Alabama getting this opening game in Dallas Stadium three years in a row?

Because lots of people will pay lots of money to sit in the Dome that

Can't think of any other reason.

Yep, that's it.  Alabama is currently the premier program in the country.
If you are going to stage a game for big ticket sales, big TV audience, and
lots of hype, Alabama is the team you want to start with.
