Call me crazy but I think Deon would stay at Jackson State.

I think he's invested too much of himself there to just walk away to a place that has no real meaning to him. Florida St, yeah. Georgia Tech, I don't think so.

IS Nebraska a step up from Baylor?

I don't think it is anymore.

Absolutely, yes. 

Note how the dominoes are currently falling in the landscape of CFB right now, with mass realignment and what looks to be a clear Power 2 conference structure, and then everyone else. 

Taking a Big 10 job almost anywhere is a step up from Baylor and Waco... by a mile.

Much bigger stadium and fan base. Better conference.  It may not be better now but much higher long term cieling.

When neb lost Texas recruits by leaving the Big 12, they put themselves in a permanent cellar.

They certainly miss the Texas recruiting pipeline they enjoyed.  

The fact that they are not in the middle of a recruiting hotbed is certainly a disadvantage,  but I think in today's environment of NIL and the transfer portal a top coaching staff could resurrect Nebraska in a few years. 

The hard part is picking a coach that ends up being successful.  If they could get Aranda or Rhule the odds of success would be descent.

It’s still big ten vs big 12 - 2 + 4. Nebraska will have a lot more money. But if Baylor is good again this year he can do better.

Aranda had Baylor winning again two years after rape gate. Small religious private school in boring ass Waco. Yet Aranda pulled it off.

If I were him, I would aim higher than Nebraska.

West Virginia kicking Virginia Tech's tail, 33-10 midway through the 4th.

I don't know how good or bad VT is to be able to evaluate WV here.

WVa DL looks stout.

I think Matt Ruhle was there after rape gate. Aranda was after Ruhle.

Sad thing is bailor has been relevant twice since rape gate and we're still waiting.

Herm is a meme, and I still can't believe they hired him.

Here's a question for all you rules mavens and ex-refs. If a player signals fair catch on a kickoff and then muffs the kick, is it dead at the point he muffed it? Or is it a live ball for recovery?

Its live

Syracuse is beating Virginia 16-0 right now.

Syracuse just had a DT go down with an injury, hanging on to one knee with both hands.

His uniform pants only came down to about an inch above his knee. No knee pads.

It would seem to me that with all the knee injuries all over football each year, we'd find a way to wear some protection there.

Trick question...it was a kickoff, not a punt
