11 AM Press Conference at NU - Osborne Retiring?

[G33K]

Just heard on 1620 that there will be a press conference at NU at 11:00 AM today concerning "the future of Nebraska Athletics" or something very similar. Sure sounds like this might be TO's retirement that we've all been anticipating.

[FCHusker]

Man I sure hope not. Not in the middle of the season. I am fine if he does retire this year, I just wish it wouldnt be in the middle of the season and right before possibly our biggest game of the year.

Here is a couple links for the announcement:

I don't think he would. The last thing TO wants to be is a distraction.

Hope it's not something medical-related......I suppose that would be the exception, if he just felt like he couldn't do the job.

Speculation on the radio is that this will be laying out the plan and the timing of his retirement.

Maybe he is announcing that he will be stepping down at the end of the year, but that he will be working side by side with _________ until then? Insert Jamie Williams, Jeff Jamrog or whomever else you want. I dont know.

Maybe he'll be side by side with Barney?

And eggs!

[FCHusker]

I am voting for Paul Myers or Jamie Williams! I think either would be great, but Williams would be amazing!!

[RedPhoenix]

Maybe we are announcing our move to the SEC.

[ShortSideOption]

From what I have been told, it's going to be a pretty somber day in Husker athletics...

[Husker Poyer]

If we're looking for a replacement, I know of an AD with Nebraska ties who has extensive Division 1 experience.

[USMC_BugEater]

Maybe they'll announce Rex's knee brace is coming off.

As long as it's not the one from North Platte, NE.

That seems like a can't miss.

[ShortSideOption]

I know there is a lot of things that get thrown around because of the unknown at this point, but this isn't really a laughing matter guys...

[RedPhoenix]

Everything's a laughing matter somehow.
