My favorite win of the Pelini era (maybe not his best, but) was the 2014 win over Georgia in the Gator Bowl. When you live in the South, you are constantly hammered with SEC talk. The 99 yard Armstrong pass to Q was just fantastic. I can’t begin to tell you how satisfying that win was!

How about Motörhead...

I am ok with paying over $1M but never for Diaco. If it was Venables or Aranda I would as they have consistenly shown results. Diaco had one strong year and the rest was mediocre or worse.People you've mentioned already make north of a million on proven teams. Why would they leave. You've got to be realistic. I get that and am the one to originally post their salaries, but they are making that much because they have consistently (keyword here) delivered great results. Diaco is nowhere near their level and would not deserve 7 figures It's not about what you deserve, it's about what the market dictates and it appears that the market for Diaco is $1mm+ Paying elite money for an elite coach is the best money a program could ever spend. But, paying elite money for a mediocre coach is the biggest waste.

An Iowa fan walks into the doctor's office one day with a hat on. He takes off his hat, and the doctor sees that there is a big frog sitting right on top of his head. The doctor looks at the man and asks him why he has a frog sitting on his head. It was the frog who replied "Actually doc, I was the one who wanted to see you. Can you remove this wart off my butt?"

From what I am reading, it sounds like he just didn't fit in. I remember watching a video of Westerkamp and him calling "Cherry" a "weird little kid". The "this is camp" talk is pretty telling, and the 2 goodbye tweets I saw were from other Freshmen. I hate to see a young man with his talent leave the program, but at least WR is a position where his departure will hurt little, if any. Best of luck in the future Derrion and thanks for giving DONU a shot!

WOW! I guess those who said don't mistake niceness for weakness were correct. I am shocked, but pleased. We need a great recruiter and great teacher. If that means a man in house, a former Blackshirt great (Wistrom, Carriker, etc.), or whoever... go get them Riley!

IMO, this young man is going to be a star.

SigNed! Welcome to family Big John! Number 1 player in the state of Iowa.

Too Late for me.

Ok, so I have to admit... I have watched the video 4 times. LOL Now I am seeing editing problems. ): Did one of those guys chasing Lamar steal his backpack at the 2 minute mark?

I really liked the video... especially that one part when he put on the N and said GBR!! Welcome Lamar!! This kid is a stud. The future secondary is looking good, real good.

Folks can complain about this offer if they wish, but I would love to see this young man be N!! 6-4 235 and athletic, has played OLB, RB, TE, DE, and special teams well.

That was super kewl!! He just grabbed the ball and slung it!! Thanks for sharing.

YES!! YES!! YES!! Welcome Mr. FarNiok!!

Great News!! Welcome to the family!! Let the domiNos start to fall!!

Good get!! Welcome to the fam!! Hopefully this is the start of a strong finish. Come on men, earn some coffee!!

We need to close the deal on this one. He has to be near the top of our want/need list.

52.5%, next closest is at 29% lol. Looks like we won... I mean, looks like he won. (: Congrats Mr. Simmons!!

Just voted. In first with 28%... GBR

Welcome to the fam Tre!! This is a huge pull for the Huskers in my opinion. The kid straight flashes on film. Yes!!

Alabama fired Mike Price before he coached a game; and Notre Dame did the same to George O'Leary.

If Stevenson wasn't good enough to get reps against the first 5 opponents, I doubt he puts him in against the #14 rushing defense. Mike Riley, if you are reading my posts... pulling the redshirt off of Jordan was sarcasm!! LOL However, I guess it was the logical progression as outlined in the original post. Twilight zone stuff.

Well, since we play Wisconsin on Saturday... does anyone believe Riley might pull the redshirt off of a certain freshman running back?

We were having this discussion around the dinner table last night, and I was curious what the board thought. As a hypothetical; say Nebraska goes 7-5 but beats Wisconsin and Iowa. How would those wins factor into your overall view of the season? For me (I witnessed the B1G Championship massacre in Indy), the Wisconsin game has become very important... perhaps even a "season saver".

To be honest with you, the Gangwish reaction and tweet have me jacked up!! Come on Saturday, get here already!!
