I approve of this list.

Yeah, that went away in Callahan era I believe and has been pretty normal since.

Pretty much the way I see it but I also see 1 or 2 losses in the first B1G games making us bowl eligible maybe or maybe not.

People get themselves in binds by doing stupid sh$t they shouldn't be doing in the first place in a world where almost every person in this country has a high resolution camera in their pocket and can't wait to plaster pictures all over the internet.

So much for Rhule's July vacation off time. Time to get back to work unfortunately.

I remember reading something like that somewhere but nothing ever came of it so I dismissed it as a false rumor. I knew things were sailing along too smoothly except on the VB team.

Callahan said July 31 on one of their podcasts a week or two ago.

And after watching Carter Nelson look great against top level talent in the Polynesian Bowl I look for him to make an impact as a freshman. With that many threats on the field plus our WR room that looks upgraded this year it's going to be tough for most teams to cover them all. Plus, we might finally have a QB on the roster that can find and hit the open receivers. Fingers crossed.

Sipple mentioned an interesting stat on their podcast yesterday. In the in the college football playoff era NU is 34-31 at home. 'Nuff said.

Your asking an awful lot. It took them decades to be able to figure out how to mic. it so we can hear the questions from the media which is a huge step forward.

I'd be pretty happy with 7th which would mean we had a winning record in the B1G. Combine that with at least 2 wins in the OOC games and that would put us at 7+ wins for the season. Now if we can actually pull it off is another matter but hopefully.

Portal is NCAA rules regulating players at NCAA schools while he's coming from an NAIA school.

Apparently there were some off the field issues going on.

Ranking players that haven't played a down of college football just seems ludicrous to me.

This doesn't surprise me. Watching the Stanley Cup playoff games this year they have bounced back and forth between ESPN & TNT depending on whether they have an NBA game on ESPN.

The sun sets in Lincoln at 7:48pm on Sept. 7. The lights will be on for the entire game since the field will be in shadow even at kickoff due to the west stands/press box.

Looking though the ST stats @ https://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs it seems we were good most areas expect the highly visible ones like place kicking and punting. Buschini was good in 2022 so hopefully he can bounce back from whatever was going on last year. Alvano scares me. 60% isn't going to cut it. Wish we had a decent backup.

During Dr. Susan Elza's PC last week she made it sound like the local media would get a tour at some point so hopefully we can get more info.

You heard right! Wow. #1 tackle in the nation.

Hope NBC gets second pick so it will be a night game.

My thoughts exactly. We were -17 (#129) in turnover margin. I don't expect to magically vault into positive territory this season. But if we can get it down to a single digit deficit it will go a long ways in getting to six wins and having a successful season. And the defense needs to do a better job too. 14 takeaways sounds OK until you realize we were tied at #103. Top teams are in the high 20's.
