obligatory imagine what he will look like after a year in our S&C program post

Got to say I’m surprised at the score. Not necessarily that west side won, but at how they dominated. They must be absolutely loaded with talent! Is there anyone in Nebraska that will push them this year?

Luke doesn't seem like that kind of player. I think he is going to continue to fight for the number 1 spot, and truly believes that if he gets the opportunity he'll take the no.1 spot and run with it, never giving it back

we can call it the has been game.... and we can play for a butter churn

I've said this before, if we have a kicking game at all last year, play calling is different and I think we win another game or two

There is a small school in SE Ks named St. Mary's Colgan, and I played with a kid who they actively recruited when we are a Pitt State summer camp. I'm pretty sure all of the private schools recruit in one way or another

I know 4A schools are fed up with Meige purposely staying 4A when they know it’s pretty much a guaranteed state championship every year. A friend of mine is the HC at Pittsburg High and two years ago they lost to Meige in the playoffs and that was by far the toughest anyone played Meige in the postseason that year. There was a vote last year to change the private school rules but it didn’t pass

Miege is 4A, but other than Derby Ks 6A is no where near as tough as 5A. In 5A you have STA, Mill Valley, Bishop Carrol, Wichita NW, and Andover who year in and year out are loaded with legit college bound talent. STA has a kid named Tyron "Tank" Young who is a 3* running back with an Iowa State offer, a 3* WR committed to Army, and an O-lineman who is going FCS. I know they have more college bound kids but I'm too lazy to look them up. I read about Westside's talent and it's obvious to me that they are going to be extremely dynamic as they too are loaded. I foresee it being a close game as well. I'd be down for some kind of harmless wager, like if you lose you have to have Kirk Ferentz as your profile picture until the start of next season

Idk about in Nebraska but KSHSAA discourages Ks schools playing out of state

STA is 5A which is the 2nd biggest class in Ks. As far as leagues and districts Ks does both. Leagues are no different then a conference in college, and districts are what determine who makes the playoffs.

STA has a 4* RB and extremely talented offensive line. They are extremely run heavy and run a double wing. Defensively they are not as talented but they are far from void of talent. They play in the Eastern Kansas League which is fat and away the toughest league in KS with the Blue Valley Schools and Bishop Meige. Do you have any insight how schools in Omaha compare to these schools?

I just seen on twitter that on Oct. 16th Kansas High School St. Thomas Aquinas is playing Nebraska's Omaha Westside at Westside. I know nothing about Westside, but I do know that STA is a power here in Ks. They are loaded with talent year in and year out. Can any of you Nebraskans give some info on Westside and maybe your thoughts on the game if it is played?

I've seen where a lot of D1 athletes are transferring to Iowa high schools

I don’t see the PAC 12 folding simply because it’s so far to travel week in and week out for those schools and their fans if they were to have to join any other conference. Geographically the Big XII. isn’t too far from Big Ten or SEC country, and West Virginia is right there in for the ACC to pick up

I'm afraid it'll be option 2, just prior to the first game. But man I hope I'm wrong

Shutter as in you’re worried? I look at next years schedule and see the only 2 games I see as pretty much guaranteed loses are Oklahoma and Ohio State. I’d take a 10-2 season right now. Hell I’d even take a 9-3 (added lose to Michigan) or 8-4 ( add Wisconsin as another loss). That would be a huge stride for the program

I pretty much agree. It really is an awful word with such a negative meaning that it shouldn't be used ever. I chalk it up to the whole you should emulate the change you wish to see. If it's not ok for one person to use it, then it should not be ok for another, regardless of the color of their skin. If we really want to move past seeing each other as black, white, hispanic, asian, etc, then we as a society could start with something as simple as that.

I took it as Patterson stated that Dylan had been using the n-word in the meeting room and then Peterson stated he did not call Dylan that. I'm guessing that the players are upset due to Patterson actually using the word

Depending on how many games we actually play, I’m interested to see how much Corcoran plays. I’m sure the coaches will make sure he redshirts but I’m curious if I’m the games he plays if he’ll see more than a handful of snaps. I think he has potential to be the real deal

As much as it pains me to say it.... it worked for Bill Snyder at k-state. They were a dumpster fire and he brought in quality juco kids until he could build and develop quality depth

Should have graduated in 2012 but having a kid put a wrench in it. 5th st and McCarthys were my preferred establishments, and unfortunately I think student population is down at a lot of the D2 schools in ks. The cost difference isn’t quite what it used to be from the bigger universities. I’m pretty sure Ft. Hays is the cheapest in the state. but back on topic, I sure hope Frost can pull Fidone in as it would be a huge get, and really give us some momentum on the trail

Me too! But with that being said if you've been to Pitt in the last 10 years it's been going down hill, but they are trying to trend the other way. It's difficult because there is no money, and it's really nowhere close to a large city that provides lots of quality jobs.

Well at least it won’t get as much play on it this year, so it should be ok #silverlinings

I doubt it, or our coaches would be on suicide watch!

I think what the article said about losing focus after receiving national accolades is spot on. I can’t imagine how hard it is for a 19 year old kid to stay focused and not be feeling a little invincible after being named a heisman candidate after his freshman year. Especially at Nebraska we’re we’ve had tons of past success and are yearning to see success again.
