Dogs In A Pile

I'd rather have a #25 ranked class if it consists of kids that really want to be here and succeed along with a staff that will develop them as opposed to a #15 ranked class that consists of kids with a lot of baggage that don't really want to be here along with a staff that fails at development.

An interview with one of the greatest Huskers of all time. Well worth the 4 minute listen.

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.

If we're 4-0 after six games something is fishy....

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.

That's what we said about the game in Ireland...

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.

Herbie's Hangout - Analysis of Colorado Scholarship Players

Quote

We are so intrigued with what’s going on up there that we needed to see who is all left. After all, guys that transferred in this spring are already gone. We used this scholarship chart to analyze where everyone came from and who is returning from the original team:

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.

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.

OT Tyler Knaak from Utah is on campus now.  He was a 2022 recruit, so 4 years to play 4.  6'7" 300 lbs.  Low 3* out of HS.  Seems like a project.

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.

Any insight with regards to Allen? Was it talent or effort?

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

Quote

Let me just start with how weird this is. It’s very rare for former coaches to start doing a radio show less than a year after they are coaching, let alone doing one in the very town that they just got fired from. I don’t blame Busch for going on the radio, but it’s just weird it’s nearly everyday because things like this come about as you just have to talk for hours at a time.

 

My main hangup is what’s the upside of giving what you think they should win? So now we have a former coach that was with the team giving “8 or 9 wins” and Husker fans on social media platforms everywhere are coming with “he would know best, he was with the team all of last year!” It doesn’t help Rhule nor our team to have a former coach say this. Heck, Alberts, Osborne, Moos, and other people directly related to the program never even put a win total on things for Frost. They would say “need to get to a bowl” but they never put him in a position for those type of expectations.............................

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.
