The people that think he wanted to move from Nebraska to Texas to get away from conservatives is an amazing take...

Agreed. Carter left to go to that Liberal bastion of Ohio. And Albert’s left for the liberal bastion of Texas. 
 

just stop with that crap. 
 

The length of time to find a President doesn’t seem out of line either. 
 

it is starting to appear that Trev didn’t like who they wanted to hire and left.

That's a pretty big issue to not really care.

I don't see Rhule being on the hot seat with a new AD.  It is way to early for that to happen.

Is Elko immediately on the hot seat at A&M now?

If it were just Trev, it would be one thing.  Problem is, it's more than just Trev.

I keep seeing this posted out there, and I just don't see it.

Greene retired. He was old and done.  

Carter left for one of, if not the top President job in the country

Trev, as has been stated, didn't get his way and took his ball and went to what will probably be a worse situation.

I get it, everyone wants to blame politics, but sometimes it's just the situation that we are in.

I will concede the President search has taken way to long, but how long should it take? What is the normal search time for a University President?

Maybe they have someone in mind, and Trev didn't like the new guy for whatever reason?  It's ALL conjecture at this point.

Logically this makes zero sense.  They just hired a new football coach, and he is at best making a parallel move as it relates to conference pocket books.

The only thing I can think of, is him bailing out because of the Women's BBall lawsuit issue.  But even that doesn't make a ton of sense.

7-0/6-1 start is critical, that back 5 stretch will be fun but I dont wanna enter it at 4-3 needing to win a couple just for .500.  

 

Colorado offense wont be bad in the opening stretch-  similar to last year they're prolly the 2nd best offense we're gonna face .

That's assuming that the new Offensive coaches for Colorado run a similar offense to last year.  Didn't CU lose both their OC and DC in the off season?

I know that there will be tie breakers.  I'm just curious what they are going to be?  Usually, they are some form of best record within division, then best home record, etc.

One would think our offense should be better in almost every facet. Unfortunately our best offensive mind isn’t calling plays. But I believe almost every single position on offense could improve with better coaching & hopeful QB play. Defense will be salty. Need a lot better improvement on special teams as punting was bad. Kicking got better. Return game was poop. 

And we know this how?

How long before BIG goes away from the CCG?  

Also, do we have tie breakers for top two in conference now without divisions?  What happens when there are 4 10-2 teams in the BIG all with 2 conference loses?

Thought all three players played well.

Excited <sarcasm> for the hot takes that Raiola sucks if he doesn't complete 80% of his passes and 100 TD / 2 int on the season.  

It's already starting.....

and Josh Martin interim TE coach moves back to analyst position in had before drunk TE coach was fired.

I'm not going to assume they are "missing" on anyone or didn't have anyone lined up, until after this weekend.  If they did, they will announce on Sunday with presser on Monday.  If this is Nebraska 2.0 after Solich then good night Sally.

While it may or may not have been the correct person, Osborne knighting Solich and taking out the "who would want to follow a legend" dynamic is looking more and more to be a wise decision.

No team has played more than 5 conference games, so there are still a lot of chances to pick up some road wins.  Nebraska gets one on Friday at Iowa.  If they come out with the same attitude and effort as last night it is a winnable game.  If they show up like they did at Wisconsin it could get ugly.

Agreed, but so far home teams are dominating these contests.

As we have seen winning on the road in the Big 10 can be very difficult.  So, I decided to look up the current Conference records of Big 10 teams this year.  

6-21

Woof.  And no team has more than 1 win on the road.

It will be interesting to see how that plays out for the rest of the conference schedule

I don’t see him as an OC. His style is the complete opposite of what Rhule wants in complimentary football.   
 

Now as an analyst, sure. 

I'm not sure what Alabama has pulled off the past 20 years will ever be replicated with the current landscape.  Or Georgia for that matter.

Going to the 12 team playoff will, by itself, make sure that doesn't happen again.  There will be a major upset almost every year with that many teams in the hunt.

Pretty safe to assume any and possibly all transfers that come in will not affect scholarship numbers. They will be brought in via NIL. 
 

as long as the money is there. They will continue to bring in competition

Less than 65% completion rate.  I thought 75% or better.  Oh well.

 

Dylan "Johnny Football" Raiola in HS.  

 

(Johnny Manziel)

And this is why Nebraska will never have nice things again.  We have fans subtly crapping all over the only legit QB recruit we have brought in since Tommie Frazer.  Similar thing happened with Marlon Lucky.  The bar was set so high for him that he was crapped on by the fans because he didn't perform to their perception of what he should have.  Which was always unrealistic.

Are we able to finally put to bed the "Our NIL sucks" discussion?

So at this point we have almost everyone signed, right?  Who's left.

Have yet to really figure out the need there as we've taken 7 DBs in each of the last two classes.

 

I guess he could be coming in as an NIL walk-on so that would work.

Any chance they are bringing him as a WR?  Or is that just crazy talk.

Is this legit? If so it makes me wonder if the DR thing isn’t happening 

No.

So I thought Casey Thompson thing was a coincidence, but now I am seeing it reported elsewhere. Is he really back?

Yes. He is back.

This was always expected, and possibly more. MSU isn't just gonna sit back and not acquire quarterbacks.

What's the difference then between Nebraska and MSU?  Nebraska isn't just gonna sit back and not acquire quarterbacks either.
