  1. Check this out: https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/2022/08/15/patriots-hc-bill-belichick-panthers-matt-rhule/ Wouldn’t it be cool if Bill Belichick, in some capacity, took an interest in Nebraska’s program? I would, at the very least, reach out to invite him to visit & address the team.
  2. Huskers signee Preston Taumua talks Poly Bowl, Nebraska and Dylan Raiola Preston Taumua honored to compete in Poly Bowl and to represent the Islands at Nebraska I expected Rhule/Corey Campbell to be doing something like this, but I believe this is the first time that I have seen it in print.
  3. The question NOW becomes: Who does Dylan bring WITH him? Who ESPECIALLY wants to come to Nebraska now that this is the Heir Apparent? Pretty sure the coaches all went to Ainsworth to sell Carter Nelson on Riaola over his bud Danny Dimes. I'm pretty sure that Haarberg will be used in a different capacity next year, because he is an athletic talent and can play at the next level - just probably not at QB. His announcement probably came TODAY to orchestrate some attention going to more people committing Tuesday and NSD. It's gonna be a cool week for the Huskers football team.
  4. Odd that nobody liked this idea when I posted it two pages back.
  5. Glenn Thomas makes a LOT of sense for QB Coach (and maybe an OC in the wings if Satterfield doesn’t impress in his 2nd year). History with Rhule @ Baylor & Temple. NFL coaching experience.
  6. It’s for times like this that I don’t keep loaded guns in the house.
  7. This would be a great series for a Blackshirt SAFETY.
  8. Listing to the radio broadcast, we’ve got receivers open all over the field. I’d consider putting Purdy in to wing the ball to a few of them.
  9. It’s Game 9 of the season. Could we please learn to at least spell Sims name correctly?
  10. Because he’s SURE at catching the ball & we are sick of turnovers or letting it bounce to pin us deep.
  11. This is one of the best hype videos I have seen in years. If I wasn’t up for this game before, I would be now!
  12. There were times in this game that I was watching the Blackshirts & having flashbacks to Buddy Ryan’s 1985 Bears “46” defense. https://youtu.be/TgoKd0oVRPg?feature=shared
  13. The ability to plug holes with the next man up speaks volumes to this coaching staff’s ability to develop & coach up EVERYBODY. I also like how one week it’s Malachi Coleman & the next it’s Jaylen Lloyd. Pretty amazed that the “patchwork” OL played as well as it did. Rhule is hitting the right notes in instilling confidence in players (like Alvano & Emmett Johnson). The FG block was an exercise in film study, long before the game began. Great job Coach Foley & great execution by your student athletes. This was a masterful job of coaching & game planning. To win as convincingly as they did with the number of miscues? It’s a dream season (that started 0-2).
  14. As I write this, Noon on Saturday is 54 hrs out. Only the GFS weather model even has Lincoln flirting with freezing temps, and that isn't until 7 PM. According to the European weather model (sadly, more accurate than the GFS) AND the NAM, Lincoln will be in the upper 30s (37/39) and at 7 PM 34/35. You might see some flakes. They'll be the ones saying "so much for global warming". (I kill me.)
  15. Please find a QB Coach --V Here's why I think a dedicated QB Coach is needed. For all the NFL concepts that Rhule is trying to cross-pollinate into Nebraska football, I'm surprised that QB Coach wasn't one of them. When this article was written, 27 of the NFL teams had a dedicated QB Coach: "Your goal as the quarterbacks coach is to keep the coordinator out of the room" I suspect that Rhule wanted to spend his budget a little differently and so postponed a QB Coach position, for now. Also, since the Offensive Coordinator and the QB Coach need to be 100% on the same page, Rhule might have wanted to let his OC submit his choice. Or perhaps the guy they wanted wasn't available (timing wasn't good and that could change, going forward.) ESPECIALLY in a Year One, the OC is going to be all about installing his playbook and teaching the system. Once the season starts, the OC is going to be into game planning, (and trying to figure out how to best replace injured players on offense and scheme with THEM). The OC probably has very little time to work with the QB's arm mechanics, for instance. Seems like it might be a good question to ask Haarberg in a press conference: "Has anyone tried to change your throwing mechanics, either in HS or at Nebraska?" followed up with "Would you like them to?"
  16. While recognizing that he took a step back in his development against NW, I think people are not appreciating what Haarberg has done for this team: LEAD. He’s a leader and the team plays hard for him. With him under center, the team has improved from 0-2 to be 5-3. Those of you just concentrating on his faults kind of nauseate me. Also, he would probably benefit from an actual QB Coach, which Nebraska does not have.
  17. Two TD saving tackles, that were turned into FGs by the defense were the difference between winning & overtime - or maybe a butt-puckering 2 pt conversion attempt by NW to win the game.
  18. The biggest thing I learned, between the offensive play calling and the postgame comments by Rhule, are that Run the Dang Ball Coach knows we still are going to need to develop a functional passing game - especially with less experienced players being thrust into the fray by receiver injuries. They are going to “coach through” the difficulties and the process. I think this is wise and, like sausage making, isn’t going to be pretty. I also learned that Omar is FAST. I can’t remember the last time a breakaway play against Nebraska was caught from behind, and it also happened with Farmer’s TD saving pursuit near the 10 yd line. Both HUGE plays. Finally, I’m shaking my head over how many of us were afraid of a 3-3-5 and how it would work in the Big Ten.The Blackshirts are back baybee - now I’d like to see a return to throwing the bones.
  19. This is a thread on Malachi Coleman that has devolved into (another) QB debate. Two things: 1) I’ve said before that Malachi gives me Randy Moss vibes & I LOVED how he had perfect form in catching it with his hands. 2) This play means a lot more than a TD: It means that, going forward, expect at least one fewer safety cheating up to crowd the box - which helps the running game (and short passing game).
  20. Just want to express appreciation for Coleman’s TD catch (made with his HANDS). Looked like a PRO catch.
  21. Well, we’re going to see how this team plays going into a game as a favorite (and a pretty healthy one). Will they stay focused, cut down on penalties, & win the turnover battle? I’d like to see Nebraska with a comfortable (shutout) lead at half time, which gives Rhule the ability to try to get the young WRs some real work in the 2nd half (with the game NOT on the line).
