NEBRASKA FIRES SOLICH
Wow. Frank Solich goes 9-3 in 2003 and gets fired. Unbelievable.
I was traveling through the state of Nebraska in mid-April, and I could get a sense of how big football is in that state. The Cornhuskers are the state's one and only team, much like the Razorbacks in Arkansas. But the Nebraska fans are just rabid. Hell, a freaking expressway near Hastings and Grand Island is named after former Nebraska head coach Tom Osborne!
I've never been a fan of Nebraska football, but I had to pick up a postcard of Memorial Stadium, the home of the Cornhuskers, while I was in North Platte. The stadium is a sea of red, and it is undisputedly one of my favorite postcards.
Back to Frank Solich:
The man was 58-19 in six seasons as the Cornhuskers' head coach. He was no Tom Osborne. But who is? It is going to be interesting to see who's going to become the next head football coach in Lincoln.
It is likely that Nebraska will play in the Holiday Bowl against Washington State. That is already a great matchup to begin with. But I think the Nebraska players just got more fired up about the upcoming bowl game with the news coming down tonight.
FINALLY...
We do hit on more than just the Mariners here at Sports and Bremertonians. But we are a Mariner blog. We've hit on the Mariners most of the time here.
Trust me, we'll definitely hit on more Mariner topics next week, since there will actually be stuff to talk about.
And as always,
FIRE UP THE MIGGY HOT STOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
