I get it but don't really care for it. Rematches will happen too often imo. Who really wants to watch Ohio State and Michigan or Alabama and Georgia play back to back games.

Gotcha- yeah that makes sense.

Pretty sure this is the biggest game on that weekend - possible Game Day in Lincoln again?

Very true.. going to be a pretty rough time in the trenches in November.

I'll see what I can do lol

So you would rather the team that went 3-9 return WITH all those same players and coaches that couldn't get it done? I thought you wanted change? What exactly would put you into a "bullish" mood? Maybe a little Marvin Gaye remix of Sexual Healing set to a video of Tom Osborne riding a Husker Red unicorn through the A gap? Just brain storming- really thinking outside the box trying to help.

I agree. I feel like we talked a lot about how many games we could have or should have won last season but during the offseason it hasn't been brought up as much. Good ST play may have put us in a bowl game in 2 of the last 3 years.

Off topic but on the same link above. Seems a bit odd for Penn State to only be favored by 3 over Purdue.

Solid man. Keep it coming in every thread no matter the topic. They will listen sooner or later.

Exactly... but I do think the best team has won more often than not the last 10 years.

Worth the gamble if there are no other available options.

I am optimistic and think we did pretty dang good in the portal this year. The real problem is in your last sentence... Trying to get that many new guys to gel in just a few months is pretty hard, especially when they are joining a team that has struggled to perform in the last few years. Building early confidence will be key imo.

I think it really depends on what happens during the first 8. If we are 6-2 or 7-1 with some confidence, I could see us winning 2 or 3 of those games. If we are struggling, we could easily lose those 4.

Not within the newly defined rules they can't. However we all know that is exactly what is happening.

Double or nothing on actual win total? I'll take 8+...

Fair enough but I would consider this enough for me to not lose... May be a wash in the end like we thought may happen originally as some casino will eventually have them at 6.5 once enough people bet the unders.

Elon would be intriguing to say the least.

I'm personally sick of both parties. It's embarrassing to try to explain to my children why we don't have better candidates running for the most important position in our country and possibly the planet. Money and corruption abound on both sides. Someone above had it right, try to vote for the lesser of two evils... or rather the person who markets themselves as such.

That's where my mind is going. I think we will see high profile "walk-ons" in the future at the top programs.

I would agree he didn't recruit well at Nebraska. I didn't take issue with that at all. However him taking Casey isn't an indication of his poor recruiting as you tried to say. The fact he beat out a pile of other teams, including USC and Auburn, actually is a feather in his recruiting cap. All of that aside, I still think a coaches recruiting ability has as much or more to do with their location and how much the team values them monetarily in this current NIL environment we are in. I'm guessing he ends up recruiting very well at Oregon with the financial backing they have and the proximity to Polynesian recruits. I guess time will tell.

Both of them took high profile transfers soon after arriving to Nebraska. What are you getting at? Every major coach in the country is trying to take good transfers. Some haven't been successful but all are trying.

He got there at the end of December? How is this a slam on his recruiting by taking an experienced portal player that he has already been coaching? I could care less about him but that's a bad take.

He is going there to work with the same line coach he has been with- obviously feels he has been developed. You beat me to it lol

Huh? I think a kid sticking it out at his current school through spring shows he was committed and did everything to earn his spot on the current roster. Post spring if things aren't working out, try to transfer to find the next best option. Not sure how that translates to not being committed to play?
