  1. First in-depth pre-season Husker preview is up!!!

  2. @HuskerExtraBC - Scott Pagano, the experienced DT transferring from Clemson, announces he'll play at Oregon. He'll go against the Huskers on Sept. 9.

      Bring it on! lol

  3. I guess Bo was right about Stringfellow going to Ole Miss.

    1. knapplc

      Wasn't most everyone on board with that, at least to some extent?

    2. Saunders

      Saunders

      I think so. I know of a few that said it was just sour grapes, and Bo didn't exactly handle it the best way, but in hindsight, I think he was 100% right.

      I remember it like it was yesterday.

  4. Our first pre-season preview opponent thread (Arkansas State), and the Preview Megathread are up!

  5. John Wick 2 and Lego Batman are both at a 96% on RT this weekend. Guess I'm going to the theatre twice this weekend (once with kids).

      You're taking the kids to John Wick 2, right?

      @Cdog, ha, no just the wife. Maybe when they're over 10...

  6. Looks like the annual opponent preview threads will start next week!

  7. And so we begin our long offseason march... 26 days to spring practice, 68 days to the spring game, 208 days to kickoff.

      At least we have the basketball meltdowns to look forward to.

      Wooo!!! We've just started little league, and between 2 kids and coaching 2 teams, I'll at least be distracted until Memorial day. :(

  8. So, I'm guessing that none of the WR's are redshirting now, since we only signed 3?

      Hoosker, you'd be surprised if Riley would get fired, or if Keyshawn, Jr. would transfer if Riley got fired. I'm glad KJJ is in Lincoln, but he's only in Lincoln because of Riley and his relationship with Keyshawn, Sr.

    3. Hoosker

      Hoosker

      I'd be very surprised if any of the 3 WRs redshirts. I didn't give your comment a second thought, tbh.

    4. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      I was thinking we probably don't want any of them to redshirt. We're gonna need some guys that can run down field and catch the ball.

  9. Sean Callahan reporting that Daniel Bullocks may be the next coaching hire.

      Considering safety and CB have different responsibilities, I am fine with it, especially with playing nickel so often.

    3. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      In nickel and dime sets, the secondary is basically half of the defense personnel. That would be a lot of responsibility for just one coach.

      1620 confirmed the same

  10. Maryland has signed 30 guys... good lord.

    1. knapplc

      knapplc

      Do they have 27 open roster spots? The Big Ten limits teams to oversigning by three guys.

    2. Saunders

      Saunders

      No clue, but they're ranked 4th in the B1G in rankings because of body count.

  11. @swmckewonOWH: Bob Diaco's ND D gave up 16 runs of 30 yards or more...in 4 whole seasons. Just 16 in 4 years. Banker's D at NU gave up 24 in 2 years.

    1. swmohusker

      Against some very below average offenses

    2. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      That alone changing would be worth the price of admission. I wonder what that stat is for the last few years of Bo's defenses? Big plays have been killing us for a long time.

    3. H2h

      H2h

      I counted 11 runs of 30+ the last two times a Bo coached team played Wisc. I counted 0 the first two times he played Wisc. Found that interesting.

  12. At his first press conference, I really hope someone asks Diaco when he's going to hand out the Blackshirts.

      A hire for lady fans. Rob Lowe come on down!

  13. #AFCA proposes a new eligibility model, still 5 years to play 4, but if athlete plays less than 4 games in a season can be redshirted.

      Yeah, I saw a tweet about the proposed eligibility rules and that was the first thing that popped in my head.

    4. Atbone95

      Atbone95

      Or say this season... Could have put POB in for Maryland, Iowa, and Tennessee and never lost the redshirt? That would have been dope.

  14. With NU finishing unranked (again) it's our longest streak since 1959-1962.

    1. NUance

      NUance

      The blowouts killed us. If Iowa had been a tight game and we had kept the tOSU game respectable, we'd be ranked. If we'd beat Iowa and Tennessee we'd be in the mid teens. IF, IF, IF...
