There’s a reason Nebraska is so damn good. It’s wild, it’s feral. That primal scream on the opening track is inimitable.

But also, covers are fun. Which is why Electric Nebraska has always been alluring.

College Football ad similitudinum: Eastern Bracket It's time for something completely stupid.

You know how dogs and their owners start to look alike after a while? The same thing applies for college football coaches.

But who's the MOST like their university? Candidates include Wisconsin-era Bielema, Coach O at LSU, and Dabo at Clemson.
