      The Director of the Athletic Performance Lab and the Director of Sports Nutrition were also let go.   Cleanin house!!!

      You hate to let go of guys that have been around for ages, but really they were dead weight, and probably should've been cut years ago.

      Kerry McDermott played for the Huskers

  2. Nebraska basketball presser at 1:30. Probably to announce the hiring of a new Asst. Coach, but four different media guys are questioning if that's all that's being announced.

      And there's this:

      The hubbub is likely because Gates hasn't even been at Florida a month in a similar position. There's a number of articles doing damage prevention out there covering this...and frankly, Gates seems like a good hire for our team and a good step towards achieving competence two years in a row. 

       

      That, and I can't imagine Florida is happy with Nebraska at all. In the past six months we:

      • Hired their #1 Head Football coaching candidate out from under them (contrary to what they claim)
      • Skunked their Women's Volleyball team for our fifth National Championship in the sport
      • Hired a good assistant coach away from them after being on the job for around a month (though if there's validity to the stories of Gates not being happy, then some of that is on Florida)

       

      Not too shabby.

  3. Nebraska freshman George Kusche just ran a sub-four minute mile.

      I imagine he could shave a few 10ths off if he’d cut his hair properly.

      Long hair works just like Samson....the longer it grows the stronger you get.  As you get older and lose the hair....well you get the picture.  :D

    4. ZRod

      Can not confirm. Have very long hair, not much stronger than I was with super short hair 6 years ago.

  4. Nebraska had seven tackles for loss against Ohio State. The Buckeyes had one TFL against us.

     

    How does that happen in a blowout like that? Weird stat.

      When did ours come?

       

      Also our run defense is pretty stout along the line. Almost all of our breakdowns come when plays go out to the edge. 

    3. JJ Husker

      That stat might be skewed a bit based on TOP and the comparative number of snaps each offense took. Let's not forget they had 41 first downs and never punted.

       

      But yeah, still a little weird.

      I was only half watching near the end, but my impression is that our team is a bit backwards from where I thought it would be. Our line play wasn't awful. Our gap LB decision making leaves a lot to be desired. Our secondary is not pretty. 

       

      Similarly on offense, dropped passes and stupid calls have had far more of an impact on the season than our OL imo. Now that could be an artifact of a lot of pressure, but it doesn't feel that way to me. 

  5. Nebraska is going to retire Jordan Larson's number at the Minnesota match this year. She'll become the 8th Husker Volleyball player to have her number retired.

     

    Not bad for a kid from small-town Nebraska. :thumbs

  6. Nebraska residents, have you ever heard of Unadilla Bil?

  7. Nebraska's going to retire Sarah Pavan's number at a match this year. She's the best individual player I think we've ever had, so that's fitting.

      The team with her, Larson and Houghtelling is the best collection of talent ever together in program history, IMO. 

       

      Houghtelling sort of gets the shaft in terms of who gets remembered from those teams. Pavan was the star, and Larson the Olympian, but Houghtelling beat Pavan for PotY in 2005. 

  8. New AD Bill Moos sent a "hello" email. Nothing to get excited about, just an intro. Here it is for your enjoyment.

      You'll have the rosters in a week or so after the game like they did in NCAA.

      Maybe Moos should have offered more money to them so they could afford to bring the band

      They are in financial straights, beyond what we could help with. It’s a shame, but it sounds like the lack of oversite, is biting them hard. 

    3. JJ Husker

      Could they bring the band and leave the football team behind?

  13. Noah Vedral and OL Brant Banks have joined Nebraska Basketball and have traveled to the Indiana game. This is real life.

      At least it isn't Luke Mac leaving to go play for his dad at Northern Colorado. TBH that wouldn't terribly surprise me.

      Read a theory last night that Noah was just using Husker Football to get his shot to play for Coach Hoiberg. Once he fulfilled his dream, he's ditching us.

       

      I feel so used.

  15. October is going to be a long year.

      I am just extremely glad I am not in one of the important swing states. I have not seen one single ad for the Presidential race....and I like that, a lot. I'm sure there must be about 6 states getting hammered with them. This whole year can kiss my a$$.

      What did I miss? Was someone claiming it was terrorism? All I've heard is the original theory that it was caused by a contractor.

      @JJ Husker, it was mostly just a few outlets raising the "possibility".  How many guesses would you like?

  17. Oh, hi. Funny story. Nebraska Volleyball just beat our arch-nemesis in a gritty tough match after a pretty damned difficult week because those players are mentally strong as hell.

    1. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      It was a great match. 18-18-21-21 and 15-13. 5 full sets and only two points separation.

    2. 4skers89

      4skers89

      They looked the best I've seen them play.  They are mentally tough and as testing showed are some of the most physically developed athletes at UNL.  You don't get that way without making sacrifices.

  18. Oklahoma Joe's in the Haymarket is closing after less than 6 months in business. Tried it once. It was OK, nothing special. Nothing about it made me want to go there instead of Phat Jack's or Lippy's.

      I thought the Old Girl was redone just a couple years ago? I'm fairly sure it was done while Riley was here.

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      I'm pretty sure that's right @TonyStalloni. We toured the facilities a couple months ago and I'm certain they said the stadium and all the practice fields were redone while Riley was there. We didn't actually go outside on those two practice fields but we were in the indoor and outdoor on the main stadium turf and to my untrained eye they all seemed brand new. The outdoor grass field was the only one that looked a little strained but it was March after all.

      Was it that recent? Shows you what I know. I remember it was changed in 1984 and 1992 but I can't remember the most recent one.
