Says on the next tweet "Coach Solich will stay on in Ohio Athletic Department as an advisor to @juliecromerOHIO and a resource to our students, coaches and staff." @Mavric Reminds me of Stoops. I still wonder what the real story was there...

@Stumpy1 Got some sauce on that? Looks like he's currently WR coach at Peru State?

I expect the O-line to be pretty much B1G average this year. (Need to get RG spot figured out, though.) Not expecting greatness, but I'm not nearly as worried about them as I am WRs and RBs.

Best since T-Mart, at least. T-Mart had much better guys around him, though.

@Nebraska55fan Martin should be around #3. He was tied for #2 receiving yards in the spring game, and will probably a starter. Swap Manning & Toure.

And we probably need it. I've been oscillating between majorly concerned and cautiously optimistic about the WRs (and RBs). I feel like the starting WRs could be a pretty solid group this year, but if even one of them goes down (Manning), things could get dicey in a hurry. If nothing else, we're getting more options.

* his second junior season.

Brewington does appear to know where the weight room is. Martin was a 4* recruit. Doesn't mean much until he shows it on the field, of course, but at the very least it's decent potential.

I dunno if there's anything definitive out there. Some rumblings that he had been spending too much time at his ranch and not enough time in Nebraska. Some rumblings that Moos liked to drink a little too much when he was out in public or with some boosters, but if there's anything to that, it was probably a 'straw that broke the camel's back' sort of deal. Whatever it was, it was apparently a problem worth spending $3 million to get rid of...

Speaking of baseball hires...

Apparently we've got one Kyan Brumfield coming in from Texas Tech? He was a walk-on at TT, so I assume he will be here as well.

At least get like an Audi A7 or something!

Being stuck using Wan'dale as an RB had absolutely nothing to do with the O-line. Seriously, I know there were some injuries and covid to deal with, but Held couldn't get anyone ready to play besides Mills, at the position that's usually one of the easiest for newcomers?!

I'm more skeptical of Held than I am of anyone else on this coaching staff. At this point, he looks a lot like Keith Williams: all recruiting hype and no production.

@Nebraska55fan

Nebraska at -8.5 on this one

Remind me who this guy is again? Looks like some random dude with a few Twitter followers.

@JJ Husker Between 1894 and 1940, Nebraska won 18 solo conference championships and shared several more, and had four undefeated seasons (plus a 7-0-1 season). From 1941 and 1962 (22 seasons) the Cornhuskers won zero championships and only finished in the AP top 20 once. You know the rest of the story!

Tennessee meets those criteria, none since 2001, same as us. There's also schools like Minnesota and Pitt that were major programs, but went through such stretches, and kept on going...

Pro: We've got a lot coming back this year! Con: So does everybody else...

247 didn't even exist in the Callahan era...

Something I think a lot of people don't really grasp: Frost took over a MUCH better situation at UCF than he did at Nebraska. Things went totally off the rails in George O'Leary's winless final season at UCF, but that was still a team just two years removed from a Fiesta Bowl win and a top 10 finish. O'Leary built a pretty solid team, they just needed a little help getting back to where they should've been. A lot of people only looked at that winless year (and not the years that preceded it) and thought Frost could pull off that kind of turnaround anywhere. Unfortunately, well, Mike Riley was a coach who never came anywhere near O'Leary's career achievements, and certainly not at Nebraska...

Maybe at some point, guys like you will have a sudden realization that Frost hasn't really even been running his offense most of the time he's been here...
