Did you scare the kids off your lawn?

Yeah I’d listen/watch again when they have a guest of interest but probably not otherwise. 
 

The barstool culture explains it. I wasn’t impressed with Will trying to work a “f#&%” into every other sentence. I use it all the time at work so it doesn’t bother me but it seemed forced and unnecessary on the bus, especially with a guest who is not going to reciprocate that language.

Agreed. Not something you want to listen to if the kids are around. Unfortunate since it isn't at all necessary. Puts then in lower class of podcast in my book.

Matt Rhule Doesn’t Anticipate Nebraska Rebuild Being A ‘Slow Burn’

Quote

When Matt Rhule took over a Baylor football program reeling from a sexual assault scandal, he inherited a team in disarray.

 

Over half of Baylor's allotted scholarships were unfilled, and the Bears only had one player left in its 2017 recruiting class — Jalen Pitre. Sticking out the tumultuous situation and believing in Rhule not only got Pitre to the NFL, but it also cemented his legacy at Baylor.

 

In a wide-ranging conversation on the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast with former Nebraska linebacker Will Compton and Taylor Lewan, who played at Michigan, Rhule detailed how he sees his rebuilding process playing out at Nebraska.

No water breaks are good old fashioned football.

All during HS water breaks were strictly forbidden during practice. Being in hot, humid KY made things even worse.

After the practice it was a race to the drinking fountain inside the school. Being an OL I was always bringing up the rear so the queue was long and it was another 10-15 minute wait to get a drink. It was normal to loose 5-8 pounds in a 2-2.5 hour practice.

Thankfully things have changed.

Enough said.

Arik visited NU Saturday. A decision will be coming soon.

Curious on that as well.  But he is visiting so....

 

But that seems to be what the tweet was about:

 

 

It just reminded me of one of the the kids that visited late last year. I can't remember the details, from AZ maybe, but when he was offered everybody was like WTF. The recruiting experts quickly chimed in that the offer was definitely not commitable and it was extended as favor to get the kid on the radar.

They were at Wager's high school tonight and offered Jeremiah Charles.  Word is Charles had four dunks tonight.  Perhaps Rhule was impressed enough with the hops on the first three to extend the offer.

I wonder if this is commitable offer or a way to get one of Wager's former players ranked and some attention.

Maybe that's why we are seeing guys like IGC remove themselves from the portal.  He probably didn't get any takers at other programs so, might as well make sure he can stay here and start classes.

Yep, he can go through Spring ball, see how well he meshes with the new staff, and see where he is on a potential depth chart, and then possibly go through the transfer portal in May.

I didn't think that is how the portal worked. Just because you don't get any takers or change your mind you can't automatically return to the team. Once in the portal you relinquish your scholly and the team is under no obligation to take you back. So if he is returning this would have had to have been worked out with Rhule's blessing. And if that is the case I'm pretty sure Rhule wants him on the team and not leave again in May.

This is good addition IMHO. He made a contribution last year before leaving and I think only played in 4 games so it should be his redshirt season. Whatever problem he and his family had with Joseph that caused him to leave in the first place must been personal and not extended to the program in general.

Arrival and departure in the span of 4 days

 

 

Well, that didn't last long.

Makes my prediction of no bowl again in 2023 seem a lot more likely.

Did you by any chance give your log-in info to an Iowa fan?

Doesn't look like it. As a whole, they seem to have a lot more intelligence than this clown.

I think I read that this may be changing.  

I read they could now coach in practices but not on game days.

Beat me to it by 1 minute.

The word from people that know what actually goes on behind the curtain is this is perfect role for him.

He was responsible a major part of the fundraising for the new athletic facility.

I think the good thing is that Rhule isn’t doing that. He’s using the portal, but it’s not his main strategy. 

Seems to me that he is trying to build for the future through regular recruiting while using the portal to fill some holes. Doesn't want to go full Mel Tucker which seems like a roller coaster ride strategy.

Many head football coaches in Texas do t teach. They just coach. 

Ha. In HS our HC was also the drivers ed. teacher. And he was a hell of a lot better at that than coaching. We won 3 games total in my Jr. & Sr. years. Went home for X-mas the year following my graduation and he was doing an ad on TV for the insurance company he worked for after being canned.

CT also won't have his favorite target back next year in Palmer.

I'll be somewhat surprised if CT is the starter going into game #1.

Can't wait to see how he develops at NU. Kid had 180 tackles in 10 games this year, runs a 10.8 and closes on his target like a missile.

In our 2nd post of our 5 part series, we are going to take a look at how Rhule is assembling his staff and what I see to like about it, and what i’m going to be very interested in watching moving forward with it.
