Mel Tucker was well on the way...until he forgot to complete the 2nd step before he started having his fun

I still love you, Faux! Thank you for talking about what didn’t seem to get enough coverage, & that’s the fact that if Jimbo were to get a check every day (which he won’t) that would be over $26,000 per day. Over $26,000 PER DAY FOR 8 YEARS. To NOT WORK AT A PLACE ANYMORE. I mean, Jimbo is not an Aztec emperor or ancient Egyptian pharaoh (or any other type of god-king, last time I checked). He’s a football coach. So what are we DOING HERE? Is this a sign of the coming apocalypse?

It’s a great (non) job if you can get it!

Are you kidding me? I’m a Nebraskan, by birth and degree. I just retired from UGA after 22 years as a faculty member. I also have a PhD from Ohio State. Kirby is the real deal - he’s who we all thought Scott was going to be. Kirby will never slide into mediocrity. He’s an alum.

I’ve been following you from the beginning - you are funny, insightful, smart and a great writer. I share Mo Faux with lots of people - everyone agrees you’re great.

This weekend sucks. I hate Michigan. I hate Alabama. I hate that FSU isn’t in. I hate that Georgia lost but I can deal with that - I’m a Nebraskan. I remember where I was sitting in the stadium when Mizzou beat us in ‘78 and we had to play Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. It was a long drive back to Omaha in that 15 passenger van. All this to say - I can deal with Georgia being out although it feels very unfair. I count on you to be one of the good guys, a voice of reason. Stay away from Kirby - he’s Tom Osborne level good with a goofy haircut and a propensity to say, “How ‘bout them fuckin’ Dawgs?!?” When he’s excited.

I like Kirby! He seems like one of the good ones. I’m just highlighting a financial opportunity for him. I hate seeing people work hard for free!

Thanks for reading. This weekend was hard but we’ll get through it.

Actually that sounds really nice, I hope Matt Rhule does that to Nebraska some day

We’ve had a few mini Jimbo situations at Nebraska. We need a break.

Unfortunately we seem to be skipping straight to step two.
