Don't hire Trev Alberts

Trev Alberts as the Director of Athletics at the University of Nebraska-Omaha?

Not yet. The former Nebraska All-American is one of four finalists to become the new AD for the Mavericks. He's up against a high school AD, the commissioner from a small Division II conference and a football coach from another small school.

Alberts' credentials? An endorsement from Hall of Fame coach Tom Osborne and getting canned from ESPN for refusing to show up for work one day. So who do you think the school will hire? Alberts is probably a lock (see: Larry Coker hire at UT-San Antonio).

We're not questioning Alberts intelligence, especially his football smarts. But this guy's ego will cause a divide at UNO. Clearly Osborne is grooming Alberts to replace him in Lincoln with the much bigger Cornhuskers. If the Mavericks go with Alberts it has all the makings of when the Detroit Lions hired Matt Millen -- failure written all over it.

Nothing is official yet, but let's just say Nebraska-Omaha officials have been warned.

This makes me feel dirty

I'm watching the halftime show of the Utah-TCU game and it features a little panel show about the weekend's upcoming games.

One of the talking heads is former ESPN yapper Trev Alberts, as the 'Eer mentioned earlier on the blog.

The sad part? After watching ESPN's Mark May and Lou Holtz all year, I actually miss Trev Alberts. He actually has somewhat thought out reasons for picking certain teams to win.

I have to go take a shower now.

Someone actually pays Trev Alberts to talk football?

Honestly, I thought former ESPN analyst Trev Alberts stopped pretending to be a college football expert on Sept. 6, 2005, when he refused to show up for work at ESPN and the higher ups sent him packing.

For some unknown reason, he was hired as a columnist for the website of the college sports cable television network CSTV. He allegedly also works as a color commentator for the NFL on Westwood One Sunday afternoon radio broadcasts. And the above video also proves that he serves as an analyst for Sprint Exclusive Entertainment.

Not sure he's any smarter, but he still has a forum. I guess Georgia fans like him this week.
