• Five Thoughts on the Cowboys’ blowout loss in Houston on ESPN2 last night (PFB)
- Side note – a buddy compared Cowboy Basketball post-Eddie to Nebraska Football post-conference move, incredible comparison. Once proud programs fell on hard times.
Cowboy Basketball is winning at 56.3 percent while Nebraska is at 49.2 percent. When you consider the filler in basketball schedules in the nonconference, it’s probably very similar.
