Saturday or Monday?
Randy York, NU associate athletic director for communications said Tuesday that Tom Osborne will evaluate the staff at the end of the regular season. It was a clarification of a statement he made when he was brought on. At the initial press conference Tom said that the staff would be evaluated at the end of the season. But with Nebraska hanging 70 on KSU and sitting at 5-6 they are one win away from becoming bowl eligible, the end of the “season” could be after the potential bowl game or after the Colorado game. But with this clarification statement its clear that Bill’s days in Lincoln are quickly coming to an end. The question is not if Tom is going to let Bill go, but what day? Will it be the Saturday after the Colorado game or will he let the turkey settle the whole weekend and cut the thread on Monday?

Personally I prefer Monday. Why rush it? Let the team (and Tom) enjoy their Thanksgiving weekend.
Then again, if we suffer an embarrassing loss, Saturday at 10a.m. sounds about right.

My bet is that they will pull a Minnesota Vikings-move and drop him immediately after the game is over, complete with an announcement along the lines of “the decision was made before the game/we need a change in Husker athletics” line.

I agree with Mr. T (I pity the fool who doesn’t). I think Friday night/Saturday fits fine. May as well grab some college football headlines on the day of Mizzou-KU and other rivalry games. If you wait ‘til Monday, you’re lost in NFL coverage from Sunday. Larry the Cable Guy sits in the box next to TO - I’m sure he’d say Git ‘R Done!

Shawn Watson as the interim HC
if they are bowl-bound....
Saw Cosgrove sold his house the
other day....
