There are only two weeks left in this sad season, and so you can make the point that you could hold on until after Thanksgiving, that removing Diaco or Riley today will not change the world.

But given the level of performance, and effort, that was witnessed out of Nebraska at TCF Bank Stadium on Saturday, you make a move just on principle. To show that you care. To show this isn’t acceptable.

Riley is a class act, a guy you want to treat right. The flip side of that is he’s going to get his money. And, if there’s a coach you want — at Central Florida — that the University of Florida is pursuing right now, why not enter the sweepstakes now?

Why not, indeed?

All eyes today are on new Athletic Director Bill Moos, who could be heard shouting “Ohhhh Noooooo!” from his press box suite (the “Moos Lodge”) as Minnesota quarterback Demry Croft ran past NU’s disinterested defense.

Oh yes, Bill. What say you?

Husker fans are waiting to see if there will be consequences for an unthinkable game, in which their team played on cruise control from the very first play — a 100-yard kickoff return by Minnesota’s Rodney Smith.
