We have been crap for the past 8 years playing in a weak division. What makes you think we would have been a better team playing in a tougher conference?

Somebody better check on the status of @admo

I disagree and it’s not an either or situation. When the program is this close to bringing the #1 recruit that happens to play the most important position in sports at a position of great need, you’ve got to figure out a way to close the deal. His commitment alone will be a boon for recruiting the players you mentioned. Who do you think the top receivers want to play with?

You're going to insist those reports are wrong based on losing the #1 recruit in the nation to the defending National Champions?

Show me someone who is clueless about college athletics without using those exact words.

Maybe the conversation went like this... Rhule: Hey Casey, we owe you this info moving forward. Dylan Raiola is N. Just don't tell anyone. Casey: Ok. I'll just show myself to the portal.... Losing Casey to the portal is a huge hit. No way to sugar coat it IMHO. When was the last time NU made it through a season with a healthy QB.....

It wouldn’t be Purdy that’s for sure… I’ll see myself out

I don't understand why people are so shocked by this. Backup QBs transfer. The writing has been on the wall since Sims was brought in. I think it was the signing day presser where Rhule raved about Sims for a minute and when asked about CT he said "yeah, he's a great kid". Toss in Rhule wanting the QB to be part of the run game and on top of that CT not going through spring ball. Also I think people are over inflating CT as bit. He was a fine QB, it's not like he was all-Conference level or anything. Doesn't have the strongest arm and floated a lot of throws. I know Palmer went nuts in the Purdue game, but CT missed A TON of throws in that game. 17/10 TD/INT ratio in 10 games is nothing to write home about.

Funny that he put clips on his instagram the other day of him making a bunch of throws. I guess he was just showing prospective staffs that he is going to be healthy for fall.

Tanner Lee in '17, but we might have been better off if he didn't. Not that the names behind him looked great.

What a damn wuss and quitter. I hope all future employers take note of Casey Thompson bailing out just because Sims looks slightly better at this time. So Thompson is showing everyone he's only in it for his prima donna self and not a true team player.

Does this mean @admo lost the bet already???

One problem with this idea is it's a sure gateway for Trump's reelection.

Probably a group of five. I’m not saying I think he is going to be drafted but he is going to have to start somewhere if he wishes to pursue that route. My thought would be a Houston, UTSA, UAB, & or other group of 5.

This is very unshocking. Casey wants a 100% gig to earn a shot at the pros. He is compared to Sims a worse fit for the offense and missed out on spring football.

Does Gebbia have another transfer? He could go full circle. He could be good team morale. He could tell people about his Freshman season and all the difficulties around playing for Devaney.

I'll stop making fun of Colorado now! I hope that is the case. I have more confidence in him than the other 2 .

Its about the 8 players suing the B1G to play Garrett Snodgrass, Garrett Nelson, Ethan Piper, Noa Pola-Gates, Alante Brown, Jackson Hannah and Brant and Brig Banks filed the lawsuit, which does not seek damages greater than $75,000 but states that the Big Ten's postponement hurts the players' future football prospects and their ability to market and brand themselves. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29753789/eight-nebraska-football-players-sue-big-ten-decision-postpone-season

I just booked the Embassy downtown Lincoln for the weekend of Dec 20, 2024

I didn't see either specifying that they had to both be at Nebraska. As long as Casey isn't a "backup" QB ....

With CT leaving, I am guessing the door is cracked a bit more open on Smothers returning.

The chances of a non running QB getting injured behind this line are already not low. See last year and Casey Thompson. Being able to run for his life is a plus.

I don't see anyone "shocked". I see people disappointed, like me. I always knew this was a possibility, so I'm not "shocked". But, there are other teams that are able to keep two good QBs on the roster. For some reason, we can't. I see this as just another year where we go half the season in with decent QB play, he gets hurt and the staff has to figure out how in the world they are going to try to win with either of the other two QBs...which, probably isn't going to go well.

Fuuuudge. Do not feel good about Sims being the guy with no one behind him. HH isn't close to being ready and Purdy sucks . Hope I'm wrong

And boom goes the dynamite 90

You’re just mad cuz I’m hung like a horse and you are hung like a light switch

I’m sure the narrative changes if we end up landing the #1 OT in the country

If we lose to the cluster f*&# that is Colorado this is going to be a long sad year. I don't see us beating Minnesota though.

We aren't beating Minnesota on the road in the first game. I'll be impressed if we even beat CU to not start 0-2. CU will lose to TCU on the road, then we are the first home game for Prime Time in Boulder. It'll be a zoo, probably a night game, the place will be rocking and I could see us losing that also.

We had this exact thread a month or two ago.

And you've earned mine ! Yall @runningblind was on top of it from the beginning with Sims...... And some of you were too - trust me, I know who you are! On record I love the Huskers and I like Sims, so whatever happen next, I am onboard. Full Go Big Red !!! @runningblind should enjoy being right on this. Much respect. Now hopefully in time you will be kind enough to allow me to minimize my "admotar" down to a spec like @Gage County suggested.... At least by Fall Ball (August). For now, enjoy calling your shot homes !!! GBR

Sims .... far distance...P & H.

I'm in as technically that's correct. @admo can still win if Thompson starts game 1 at another school and Sims doesn't. Even if that school is Iowa.

You sound like a politician. Edit: when the politicians can define a women for me I will answer the question.

At this time we need to weather the storm. That being a second Trump administration and the end of democracy as we know it His cult is about 40% of our population. This wouldn't pull any of them away but would split the opposition. It's too risky at this time.

Casey transferring out doesn't make Sims a better QB, that's yet to be seen. I'd rather they duked it out in fall camp to see who the starter is.

Sounds like he would be welcome back as well

That doesn't mean it is an infinite piggy bank. We also have nothing but speculation that it has anything to do with NIL at this point. A lot of people are making educated guesses. Unfortunately, putting 2 and 2 together is harder when you are bad at math.

Sims looked great but he does run a bit chances of him getting injured aren't low. Boy we are walking a thin line of anywhere from 2-6 wins this year

If it’s an NIL game now that’s keeping him from committing here, the powers that be need to get their butts in gear and figure it out. With Casey’s departure (I know he only had one more year anyways) the QB room is as thin as it can possibly be with little hood for the future at the present time. It’s time to stake a flag in the ground on a player and build players around him.

Only the top schools can upgrade OL through the portal, as you said there are only like 5 sure fire starters each cycle. We must develop HS OL, (and DL), in house if we ever want to be good again, period.

Leave your animal fetishes at home please

How well can a coach develop young players if he's forced to start them or risk losing them to the portal? How can teams gain depth if good players refuse to be second string?
