Little worried about the receivers’ ability to get open and create sauce against equal level athleticism. Seemed to look really good last week, couldn’t find them this week. The next two weeks should have them looking better again. Hope by the next time an athletic team rolls in we will be in more of a rhythm there.

Don’t care much about them at all. They will have 3 wins at best this year.

No. A good FBS team should have a large win over teams like this, so it is not a good win for Colorado at all. They should have won by 3 TD at least. To eek out a win by 5 yards at the buzzer is embarrassing. The way their team played was embarrassing. Shedeur and Hunter out athleted SDSU by so much that they snuck away w/ the W. But the rest of FBS won't lack the athleticism to contain those two. I know NU has been beaten by these types of teams in the past or barely beaten these teams in the past. Those are "bad losses," and "bad wins." Those NU teams are, "bad teams." CU is a mess. That team is a bad team. That win was not a good win.

Can get new of both in Lincoln!

But why? They suck too.

Jesus wants him to do his LDS at East campus.

No, based on the fact that LP ran for us in 94. He was good, so everybody else that signs here will be as well.

Well I'll be damned, John Cook is a Peaky Blinder.

Agree. Kid is good but he’s not special.

Bama is Bama no doubt, but a Bama minus Saban is not quite the Bama that it was.

Gone are the days of recruiting a QB with a vision of playing time at this school. You basically have to say now, "Look at this great program w/ great development opportunities and beautiful facilities. Come here and USE us to get to where you want to go. If that happens to line out perfectly in scarlet and cream, great. But if in 2-3years there are better opportunities elsewhere for you, we encourage you to take them and we will have you in a great position to do so." Rinse and repeat every year and you will always have somebody in the stable ready to be the guy here.

Should be no big deal. One thing about the annual transfer portal roster flip method is that you always have quality knowledgeable depth ready to go.

I was planning on stopping in to throw a few mid 7th.

The other side of this is.. You have to have a QB willing to just be the #2, which is hard enough to find, let alone find in the transfer portal. What you do have in HH is a guy who doesn't believe in his soul that he's a number 1 at this time in his career. So, in essence, you have a guy that is reasonably ok with being the #2. On top of that, you have a guy that has been around for multiple years, knows the scheme, and has a staff that has some already established twists within that scheme they can work to allow you to be a bit more successful with your limited upside. As we've seen, he is capable of getting you a couple wins in the Big10 in a pinch with the tools he does possess, he's just not going to be able to carry an offense. You'd hope even if you had to patch a few games with HH because DR goes down with a broken leg, it may be enough to get DK up to speed enough to step in if necessary. There's a bit of "luck" involved with any QB room staying healthy and functional. I think Rhule is hoping for it, but I think he has a reasonable room to work with if catastrophe would hit. Let's be honest, it's a very young room to begin with. I think he knows patience is in order no matter which way things go.

Not sure why you posted this, it has nothing to do with us. It's been shown that you can't get talented ballplayers to come play in the northern Nebraska climate.....

Texas A&M laying off athletic department staff in response to ‘existing and emerging threats to our business model,’ per Trev Alberts (msn.com) Trev, doing what Trev does best.. SLASHING!

Dylan won’t get hurt, he can actually throw the quick outs. But, if some freak situation happens, I think Zach Wilson may still have some eligibility remaining.

Obviously you have not been watching much Husker football lately.

I would bet NIL will change that as well. If there is one thing Clark, Reese, Beukers, etc showed this year is that women are marketable in that arena as well. One NIL dollars become more significant across the board, the women will be jumping ship to the highest bidders as well and parity will ensue.

Agree! Gets a bad wrap because it was so bad in the early days, but again, women didn't even have access to reasonable high school team representation until the 80's. Also, if we are being fair, the men's game was pretty clunky back in the 70's and 80's as well. But I digress. For years you had very few women even try out. Then more tried out, then enough tried out that some got cut. Then enough tried out that a lot got cut. Then you started having the best of the best rise to the top. Then you had the up and comers start watching and emulating the best of the best which takes it up another level. Then you have the phenomenal athletes playing sports they've spent 15 years honing skills in. People have always loved to watch the Nancy Kerrigans, Mary Lou Rettons, Jacky Joyner Kerseys of the world. Sports fans appreciate well played competition. We are seeing that now in many women's sports, there is just no reason to assume they can't attract viewership when given a chance to shine.

And all I am saying is that, when it comes to "fandom," there is nothing inherently superior about men's sports vs womens, it is just what has been broadcast and hyped for the past 50 years. There is a reason that when you make Caitlyn Clark and Angel Reese a "thing," people are interested. There is a reason, when Nebraska volleyball is a "thing", people follow that much more passionately than they do mens soccer. There is a reason when you create a fan following, fans follow. The networks weren't shoving women's basketball at us this year. The networks saw a revenue stream and exploited it. Basketball fans tuned in because the product delivered.

Fixed it

What were the numbers for the Saturday prime time final 4 games, again? Again, the argument is immediately moot anyways. Fact is, give women the network and time and hype, the numbers are there.

Will he bring his Sega and Doritos?

Dudes title game drew under 15 million viewers. I’m sure we can try to come up with 100 reasons to explain it away, but there is no denying there is a market for women’s sports when they are as hyped up as men’s. And honestly, it makes complete sense.
