  1. Wisconsin is trying hard to sign Luke Fickell today. Sounds like they may be close to a deal.

  2.  Ajay Allen had surgery and will be lost for the season. He went home to Louisiana with his mom. I'm thinking he will never be back if he can finish the semester online.

      I'm pretty sure MJ said his mom had come to Lincoln.

      When I heard the interview on the radio I heard Mickey say "Ajay's mom came and he's back home" which to me said he was back in his home town with mom. It sounds like he is back in his apartment in Lincoln.

      I thought he was from Missippi,,  but they come to Linkedin

  3. .Between Bear Bryant and Nick Saban Alabama hired and fired 8 coaches. Their tenure was 3,2,6,3,2,0,3 and 1 year. It was pretty much a revolving door till Nicky came along.

      Yep.  I hate coaching changes with a passion.  But, Frost was given all the time he needed to turn this around and it just kept getting worse.  We will eventually find the right coach to bring winning back.

      Agree.  Revolving doors are not exactly fun.  I hate that it didn't work out the remainder of the year for Former HCSF.  I am thrilled for Mickey. 

  4. Texas comes within a whisker of beating Bama. Washington St beat Wisconsin. App State beat Texas A & M.

      I love this too. ND is over rated and now everyone else knows it too!

  5. Remember Michael Jacobson the basketball player who played for Tim Miles? Never played a down of football at Nebraska or Iowa St. Now plays TE for the Indianapolis Colts and caught a touchdown last night.

      I remember Keith Neubert who played 4 years of basketball at NU in the late 80s, before having a bit of a career in the NFL.  I couldn't remember if he played any football at NU, but it turns out he played 1 year with the football team.

      Love these stories. The Johnny Stanton journey is a good one.  

  6. If Nebraska gets out of our slump mostly due to the portal and starts winning games again at a crazy pace for a couple years, how long do you think it will take the Big Ten to put a limit on the number of portal players a team can grab in one year? 

    1. admo

      admo

      Not sure.  But I also think things will change fairly soon (or settle down) with NIL and the transfer portal.  A monster was created out of a good idea originally.  Too many hands F'd it up.  The original idea was good and helpful (with NIL and transferring). Without leadership and rules in place for all to follow, this is what you get.

      I guess what I'm comparing it to is the decision when the Big 12 was formed that restricted the number of Prop 48 players a school could enroll per year. The vote was 11-1against the policy that Nebraska used to it's advantage. It was one way to bring the Husker program back to earth after many years of success.

  7. RIP Gilbert Gottfried. Dead at age 67.

      He was hilarious! I guess he died of a heart complication that he had kept secret. Talented comedian. 

  8. Teddy Allen had 37 points for New Mex St in their win over U Conn.

      His uncle is a friend of mine, here in Tucson. Told his uncle he couldn't get along with the coach, at Neb.

      Was told he also was a little hard to control. Little bit of a wild streak, in him. You could see a little of that in Thursday's game. 

      He did play a heck of a game. To bad he couldn't have stuck around, our program.

       

      GBR!!!

    3. TonyStalloni

      TonyStalloni

      He was certainly talented but he needs 4 players around him who rarely get to shoot the ball and are satisfied playing defense and rebounding. Most players these days aren't willing to do that plus a team that can shut Teddy down can pretty much win the game.

  9. I find it interesting that Malaki Branham was named freshman of the year in the Big Ten. He had been named freshman of the week three times this year. The award didn't go to Bryce McGowens who was freshman of the year 8 times and had better numbers. Must be payback for beating OSU in Columbus.

    1. jaws

      jaws

      I was surprised as well. I thought McGowens had a better year, but Branham has a higher ceiling. I think you should give out the award to the one with that had the better season. Unfortunately, these awards rarely go to the person that actually deserves them.

  10. Nebraska Womens Associate Basketball Coach Chuck Love has been suspended with pay. Also Ashley Scroggins, one of the leading scorers and best three point shooter on the team, has been suspended and her name no longer appears on the official roster. The university is saying there will be no other comment so details may be hard to get. This will be a big blow to the womens basketball team's hopes for success in future games.

      I don't want to draw conclusions, but it's not difficult in this scenario. I sincerely hope this doesn't derail the really good season the Women's team is having. 

  11. While watching the Texas/Kansas game I kept seeing a player for Texas with a last name of Allen who greatly resembled Teddy Allen. Turns out he is Teddy's younger brother Timmy.

      Yeah I just learned this a few weeks ago myself.  Looks exactly like Teddy also.

  12. Singer/actor “Meatloaf” passed away yesterday at age 74.

      Oh my gosh! I didn’t hear that! I liked his music.

      Yes it was sad to hear.  I liked meatloaf, musically and acting.  Great guy RIP

       

  13. It’s great to see O lineman Hunter Anthony from Oklahoma St chose to transfer to the Huskers. He played yesterday in their bowl game win over Notre Dame

    1. admo

      I agree.  And he's going to help this line for sure.

      I DVR'd that game but haven't had a chance to watch.  Will give me something extra to watch for.

      If the 14 or so players that signed today stick around and we get 4 or 5 out of the portal we should be ok.  If not we are constantly reshuffling with new players.

    3. BigRedBuster

      BigRedBuster

      We had a small class because we AREN'T shuffling a lot of new players this year.

       

      Yes, we should get a few more from the portal and possibly yet a couple more HS kids in this class yet.

    4. The Scarlet Pimpernel

      The Scarlet Pimpernel

      The excuses being given for why it's a small class are just that: excuses. When you have a small class, you should be focused on quality. This class should've been comprised of primarily 4* with a couple high 3*. Do you ever see any top-tier programs taking a year "off" of recruiting for ANY reason? Heck no.

  15. Matt Davidson for Wisconsin basketball is still up to his dirty tricks. I saw him hook a defenders arm and then fall to the ground pulling the defender down. It tricked the ref to call the foul on the defender.

  16. We had chances and the holding penalties bite us in the a$$ again but damn refs call the interference like you would if Wisconsin was on offense.

    1. chamrocck

      I hate BIG refs.  Every frickin’ time. Clear pass interference and nope. Terrible.

      Not to mention the holding calls that they failed to call on Wisconsin.

    3. TonyStalloni

      TonyStalloni

      If you get a chance look at the end zone camera of the last long touchdown run by the Badgers. Watch Wisconsin’s left tackle mall Luke Gifford. That should have been a holding call. It was way more aggregious than Corcoran’s call.

  17. Hunter Salis is on the floor right now for Gonzaga and getting lots of build up from the announcers. 

  18. Nebraska's entry (from Hastings) in the Little League World Series won their game this afternoon vs New Jersey by a score of 5-2.

      As much as I am rooting for Hastings, it's hard baseball to watch.  The field is way too small for that age, it has bad home plate umpires, and ESPN produces it to make stories.

      Looks like they won again today.

      They play the winner between Texas and New Jersey on wednesday.

  19. Now I remember why I dislike watching Vanderbilt at the CWS. The 3 chant whistle would drive me nuts if I was sitting near that guy.

      the B1G was severely over rated.

      I had Illinois playing in the Final Four. They just looked too invincible but Loyola/Chicago thought otherwise.

      Didn’t really no who was going to play Gonzaga.  But felt pretty good they were going to win it.  

  21. Part of me wants OSU to win but another part feels like I need to take a long shower to get clean if I do.

    1. huskered17

      huskered17

      I hope OSU beats Ala. 

      Good for the B1G.

       

      GBR!!!

  22. Lincoln and Lancaster Co have decided to not host the State High School Football Championships at Memorial this year. All games will be hosted by the higher seed of the two remaining teams in each bracket.

  23. Husker coaches need to offer a kid from Bixby Okla named Braylen Presley. He is an electric football player. A 2022 kid.

  24. Spencer Davis of the Spencer Davis Group and Tony Lewis, lead singer of The Outfield passed away today. 2020 won't let up.

      I would imagine they had to have done okay from touring since their first couple albums were successful.  At the same time, it seems like they weren't very popular in England so who knows.

      Voices of Babylon is another fine song of theirs.

  25. The Sooners bite the dust again. Iowa St plays well and doesn't roll over. Imagine the angst in Norman tonight. Lincoln Riley running out of Bob Stoops recruits already?
