Japan's debt to GDP ratio is considerably higher than the Untited States. It's certainly possible that the level of spending can stay high, although I'm not an Economist. What I do know is that the Republican party is extraordinarily unserious about reducing debt or setting spending levels because their last 50 years of deficit spending and cutting taxes on the highest earners tell me as much. If they made any serious efforts, I'd be okay with it. But they couldn't be less serious. It's all theater and no substance.

Need less mentally ill people through the correct treatment. Another terrible tragedy at the hands of a depraved, sick person.

Ugh. Yes, NIL is an enticement for a guy to come back to play another year of college. However, Vokalek didn’t have any college eligibility left and what else is Nelson going to do to improve his chances in playing in the NFL? Nelson is 23 years old, already played 4 full years of college football, putting his body thru a lot of wear and tear, and has his degree. How much NIL $ makes it worth for him to come back to NU? Nelson isn’t going to get considerably faster or stronger by playing one more season of college football. He would only be one year older, and reducing his NFL career by one year in the long run. He wants to give the NFL a shot, let him do that. Those saying “he left early and went undrafted, what is he going to do now?” are coming across as selfish college fans.

I disagree on Nelson. He was getting older but another year and he would have been drafted. He was on a bad football team and still somewhat shined and flashed at times. He would have absolutely been the face of the defense this season. If they play better he would have benefited. Some of the guys taken ahead of him this draft don’t seem as good as him. Good luck to him on the Dolphins.

Their are some highly ranked guys in the portal that I believe could help Nebraska on both sides.

Im sorry Ervin and Johnson are really nothing special to me. Coming into the season I thought that if Grant didn't have it together then Ajay Allen coming off his collarbone injury would but something didn't click obviously. The coaches that recruited him here are all gone so maybe he just didn't like the coaching style but I don't think this coaching staff style is bad at all.

I kinda felt like his effort in practice was going to lead up to him transferring but husker fans assured me to think nothing of it. Sucks bc for me if Grant wasn't going to be the starter he was. Still not a fan of our running back room with him leaving.

If you honestly believe this let's talk over a DM. I have some beautiful ocean front property in Wakanda, SD that I'd sell you at a great price. I've said it before and I'll say it again. If Nelson came here from anywhere else other than small town Nebraska, he wouldn't be nearly as loved. I'm betting the new staff met with Nelson and told him he wasn't guaranteed squat, and he wasn't a fit for the new defense. He had a choice to declare for the draft, transfer or sit and watch from the sidelines. He made his choice.

If he is the leader on an improved defense, gets all conference type accolades, improves his stats, improves his skill under better development there are enough teams. If the team has an improved season he would get much of that praise and world garner more attention. Of course his odds of getting drafted would improve if the above happens as teams would have further evidence he has NFL potential. There’s no guarantees as he could get hurt too. But to say his draft stock would not have improved is short-sighted if he would have played another full season here.

Nothing against Casey, but I won’t remember him too much from his time at NU. He will be an afterthought. The good thing is now we can go back to making fun of his dad (Charles) being busted for dealing coke 30+ years ago. #dirtburglers

Local media has been hinting about this for weeks. Most fans didn’t want to think it was possible.

CT was able to get surgery and rehab on NU’s dime, all while watching his new competition and offense under the new coaches. This was a calculated decision process which started shortly after the end of the season and hiring of Rhule.

The league minimum is $750,000. What kind of NIL deals do you guys think Nelson or Vokolek could get that they would want to come back?

If I was a draft analyst and I couldn't decide between an Ohio state guy and a Group of 5 player I would 100% pick the Ohio State guy. You'll look so much less stupid if you're wrong

He was getting yelled at from the coach to hurry/pick it up and changed his pace by zero percent. Very low chance this was the lone outlier experience coaches had with his work ethic.

My understanding is that players can retire from football but still have their academic scholarship honored by the school, they just won’t count against the football scholarship count.

I disagree. Most fans knew it was possible. But, they were hoping he wouldn’t leave.

There is no disagreement you are just not correct from everything suggested up to this point. Allen was the fourth string back at the spring game. I do however like Allen as a back and think his potential is very good.

Seems like the writing was on the wall all spring with him. Sucks because he showed so much potential but I don’t worry about RBs as much. Interested to see where he ends up.

Allen to the portal. Hurts us next year. EJ/the guy they brought in this class are pretty suspect.

The only way Nelson was getting drafted (if he came back another year) would have been if he grew 5 inches and go faster... He needed to go since that was best for him.

100% agree. It's not like he was a NU lifer who was waiting in the wings for 2 or 3 seasons before taking over. He wasn't going to be the starter at Texas, so he transferred here so he could start. Now he's not going to be the starter here, so he's going to transfer to somewhere where he can start. That is what QBs do in current day college football. He played in 10 games and won 4 of them. He was a fine QB, nothing spectacular. I will remember him about the same way that I remember Tanner Lee in a "oh yeah, that guy played one year for us" type of way.

Or DeSantis for that matter. If most people showed cautious optimism instead of an unwavering devotion to politicians, the US would be in a much better place. Instead we have people who would rather die on the hill defending Trump or DeSantis and the far right Republican Party. Why they do is crazy to me.

Not me, offense is changing & he has 1 yr left. He is not durable enough to run a lot.

Zero interest in watching or keeping track of the score, and we win 18-0. I'll keep my priorities straight by doing the same thing today.

Probably. The game is the game.

So then his tweet that he sent out when he said he intended to come back was to safe face and there was never any real intent to come back?

Colorado adopted some tougher gun control measures yesterday. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/04/28/politics/colorado-gun-control-bills-polis/index.html Nothing crazy but it shows that steps can be taken. 1- Raised minimum age to 21 to possess a firearm (with logical exclusions) 2- Minimum 3 day waiting period after background check to get gun. 3- Expanded existing red flag laws, allowing more people to petition for protective orders. 4- Removed liability protections for manufacturers of guns and ammo.

My bad. I'll not expect you to apply critical thinking skills next time. Especially when their coach has told a much different story.

Well someone did just post today misinformation from far left nut jobs at “pink news” and you didn’t seem to care

Yep

Or Joey for that matter.

Casey has some competition on the starting QB transfer market

I think you will find most world economists believe Japans debt is a bad thing. Its biggest line item expenditure will probably soon be debt service payments. That’s…….not good.

Don't sweat it, I had a poor post this afternoon, too. That's what I get for putting something up quick when I knew I didn't have the time to do it proper. I'm pulling for him, I think we all are, and I don't think any of the criticism in this thread is unfair. All of these guys in these last few rounds are playing just to make the team and I hope he has someone he trusts telling him the same things we're discussing.

Note that Colorado has what should be a much harder Week 1 opponent than we do: at TCU. Have to give them credit for making 2 of their 3 non-conference games this year against P5 teams.

ehh, there are many players in the history of the draft who get selected or at least get drafted higher because they are on elite teams.

I don't think we will know much of anything about either Rhule or Deion by game 2. We just start out with back to back road games in year one, and Minny is established already. Plus the crazy environment in Boulder for this game. Smells of 0-2 to me.

Ok. Thx for the clarification.

Yep….we need more people with more guns.

Call me "guy who shakes his fist at cloud", but the portal and NIL has ruined college football. Just like free agency impacted the NFL. Growing up, Cowboys drafted a guy you left the league as a Cowboy. College/NFL just need to create a farm team concept like MBL and just recruit kids from HS. Huskers in the draft were here one year as you mentioned....And several starters this year are potentially once and done guys. Not a fan, but that's just me.

I don’t care for Deion (and care even less about CU) and I loved Tommie as our QB but nobody in their right mind would attempt to compare their recruiting and coaching abilities. Deion is at a different level than Tommie, as is Doane and CU. I took the “comparison” at face value simply based on huge numbers of players leaving. I suppose it depends on how a person wanted to take it.

From your hit piece. The current coordinated attacks on SCOTUS by the Left is quite disgusting. B Mark Jungers, another one of Jane Roberts' former colleagues, said that Jane was smart, talented, and good at her job. "To my knowledge," he told Insider, "friends of John were mostly friends of Jane, and while it certainly did not harm her access to top people to have John as her spouse, I never saw her 'use' that inappropriately. In fact, I would say that Jane was always very sensitive to the privacy of her family and when she could drop the name or make certain calls, she didn't." Insider spoke with with three legal recruiters who said $10.3 million in commission was a plausible amount for someone with Roberts' experience and network to have made over those years.

That's not the response you think it is.
