Dogs In A Pile

I don't care if he wears a toga as long as he can get the program turned around.

Although they seemed perfectly normal at the time it is hard to get over how enormous the shoulder pads were back in the day compared to the modern version.

I'd take his 44-27 record over NU's 23-42 record over the last 6 years.

A lot of great matchups there that I will be tuning into. Looking at those it's no wonder the B1G media contract is through the roof.

I wonder if the staff knew about this or not. It will be interesting to see how it is handled.

Two lightning cancelations

I have high hopes for this team going into the season. That being said, I wouldn't be too surprised if we are 2-4 after the first 6 games.

Hopefully our new coach won't do something as asinine as attempting an onside kick after just scoring 2 TD's in 28 seconds, going up by 11 and capturing the momentum.

We certainly could use an infusion of talent. Looking at Athlon Sports all B1G preseason projections almost makes me want to cry when I see how far we have fallen. No players from the offense in the 3 deep projections and only 1 second (Reimer) and 1 third (Newsome) from the defense. Hoping for (but not expecting) a breakout season which would certainly give a big boost to their recruiting efforts. Only so much you can do when the last time we had a winning season was when the kids they are recruiting were in grade school.

Cool. We're already lining up excuses.

Herbie's Hangout - Johnson and NPG Tweets

IMHO, this kind of star rating for transfers is absolutely worthless since they were based on their evaluation from high school. If they were based on their performance during their college careers that would be worth looking at.

He had offers from offers from USC, Utah, Oregon State, Arizona State and Virginia. We need bodies on the OL for next season so probably worth a look.

I have no inside info but IMHO it was effort/attitude. After seeing the video that was posted where Allen totally ignored his position coach during a drill in spring ball and was subsequently kicked out of the drill the writing was on the wall. Allen came here because of Applewhite and apparently didn't mesh well with the new staff. The lack of mentions from the coaches while others were praised kind of raised a red flag to me.

Hope not. I hate those early games. Only bright spot is maybe the crowd wouldn't be quite so fired up. Need to get up early in the game and take the crowd out of it. Hopefully, they'll refrain from throwing batteries etc. at the players, coaches, officials and other people on the field this time around.

Herbie’s Hangout - Bill Busch 8 to 9 wins

Best of luck to him.

The people that were allowed down on the field at Aviva Stadium in Dublin said it was the most immaculately manicured field they had ever seen. Like a putting green the size of a soccer field.

Jeremy Pernell: Roster Churn Alters Nebraska’s Defensive Line

I'd be absolutely floored if this team wins 9. Just shocked if they were to manage 8 wins. Hoping for 6 and a bowl but that is certainly not a sure thing.

Won't be any worse than losing to NW last year to give them their only W of the year. Or Georgia Southern. We'll take it in stride just like all the rest of our losses and move on.
