God, I'm gonna hate listening to certain posters on this board next year when Raiola plays like a true freshman (which he is)...

And that was with a roster that's far from stacked with talent. I mean we only had one single third-team all-conference selection on the coaches list, and zero selections on the media list.

Especially these days, you'd better take a close look what players are actually going to be playing for each team, and who has left...

I know HC Matt Rhule is loyal to his players on the team but the returning wr's didn't produce much (Coleman and Lloyd). Coleman had 8 receptions for 139 yards and one touchdown while Lloyd had 6 receptions for 237 and three touchdowns.

Not sure how you're expecting those guys to put up huge season numbers when they weren't even on the field until like 2/3 of the way through the season...

Reminder: watch any game from November starting at 8:30 pm tonight and you’ll be kicked in the nuts right around midnight!

Wyoming sends coach Bohl into retirement as a winner with 16-15 win over Toledo in Arizona Bowl

McCord out here watching his new team lose 45-0.

Pretty sure Chubba was third string because of his groin injury, not his ability. Not that his ability was great or anything.

I mean one way or another, Casey didn't just accidentally show up in Lincoln with his name in the student directory. Clearly, he was at least thinking about returning in some way. Considering that and his previous "I didn't want to leave" tweet, I think it's safe to say Rhule's interest in him is pretty low.

Given his resume and tape, I had assumed there wasn't much demand for him. 

He was a 4* recruit in HS, I'd think there'd be a decent amount of interest just based on that.

I always wondered why Purdy didn't transfer last year once Mr. Whipple was gone.

Snodgrass Fields forever!

Yeah, I've heard all sorts of things at this point, including one saying that Thompson was telling people he was back just to f#&% with people.

Update: just heard another claim that CT's return is not dead yet!

I genuinely cannot keep up anymore. Who the hell are our QBs now? Raiola, Kaelin, who else?

Just Haarberg, unless we bring in a portal guy (and find scholly room for one).

I'm not really sure it every was really happening.

 

Also, someone else asked if he could play again right away.  He was a grad transfer last year.  Did he graduate again?  If you're a graduate do you get unlimited transfers?

Yeah, I've heard all sorts of things at this point, including one saying that Thompson was telling people he was back just to f#&% with people.

Are we gonna have to keep Haarberg at QB? I would think so unless they bring in another one.

Sounds like he met with Rhule today, and it's happening.

And now Greg Smith @ Rivals is saying the Casey Thompson return isn't happening.

I think we're just down to Taumua left to sign, right? (He's in Hawaii, prolly just rolled outta bed.)

Rhule & Raiola making a last-minute push for Ryan Wingo, it seems.

Beck seems to be making some solid career moves.

Not. He needed to finish some classes. Waiting for a transcript!

They already got the transcript, it was significantly worse than expected.

Any word on how Nebraska qb coach searching  is going?? Be nice to get Jeff Christensen but I doubt.

I'm hearing Glenn Thomas. He was Rhule's co-OC and QB coach at Baylor, and is currently with the Steelers. He'll probably get the co-OC and QB coach title here, too. Announcement probably won't come until after the NFL season ends.
