    Didn’t they both have shoulder surgery? Thompson can at least throw but is a no go in live drills or contact. Not sure about Smothers. I honestly doubt he is here by fall. 

    By all accounts Smothers loves it at NU, he has passed up previous chances to transfer, including when he was passed over in favor of a transfer QB. If the decision is left up to him, I don’t think he leaves, perhaps he is a medical retirement candidate?

  2. Yeah, Clark got several bad breaks in that game and it is clear he doesn’t quite yet have the answer in tough situations. He has been a bit up and down so far in the early season, his stuff is good though so I am hopeful he learns from an outing like this and matures as we get into conference season. Overall I like the way the team is playing right now. Lots of good things to build on going forward.

    For us old guys, that video, that game was like a huge cleansing of the soul - a baptism of red kool-aid. :koolaid2:

    It never gets old watching it.  

    It was like watching a story book ending, just everything lining up to crest the perfect scenario for a soul cleansing win. I remember watching the ‘84 OB, but I was only 7 at the time, so mostly I remember my Dad cussing at the game. ‘94 OB though I remember like it was yesterday, man that one hurt, still pissed at the non-fumble call.

    The Greatest 2 minutes of Nebraska football

    My first thought when I saw that Conor was walking on was his Dad's reaction after sacking Costa. 

     

    Dammit, that got me all fired up! Now I am going to have to watch the ‘95 Orange Bowl all over again tonight. Don’t wait up for me tonight honey, I am high on red koolaid!!!

    Sounds like the rumors are Sallis and Traudt are looking to transfer.  Not sure if they're interested in coming here.

     

    I haven't heard that about Chucky but you never know.

    Thanks, I was just guessing as PG specifically was mentioned. Sallis would be very interesting indeed.

    I believe the backstory is changing in coaching staffs, and he's one of many that's moving from Chandler. Not as dramatic as you're making it seem.

    Not making it dramatic, simply asking a question as 3 transfers in 4 years is unusual.

    No. You say, hey Casey Thompson, You're a star man. To keep you here, our NIL agreement is going to give you NIL groups are going to get you $250,000. But, we need you to give up your scholarship. You'll still get all same benefits being on the team as far as academic help, access to the training table, and everything else. So, all you'll be giving up is the $25,000 a year scholarship benefit. Doing so will help us recruit new talent that will give you a better chance to succeed/ a higher probability of getting a combine invite and make the team better as whole so we can have more success. If you pay for schooling yourself, you're still going to be netting $225,000 per year take home. What do you think, can you make that sacrifice for the team?

     

    I don’t think walkons get the same access to meal plans and other support services. I recall watching a show/documentary following walkons and the young man couldn’t sit at the training table all year like the scholly players and had to buy his own food. Maybe that has changed or maybe the gap wasn’t as big as the show made it out to be, I would be interested to know what walkons can and can have access to.
