  1. Is anyone else "torn" about NU BB? At one point, I am ready to get a fresh start, seeing same old results last 4 years. In the next breath, I see a very young team that battles and battles, so I think give Tim another year. When I think that, I feel as if I am setting myself up to feel the same thing next year. Friggin Groundhog Day all over.

      When UNL grabbed, he was a hot commodity and most thought he was a great coach. I think it was a bit of bad luck coupled with the turnaround being harder. If they go after someone else, they'll have to be proven otherwise it'll be more of the same...

      Give him a few more years. Nebraska isn't exactly high on the lists for great basketball coaches.

      Few more years ? This is year 5 and has one winning season and finished in top 8 in conference once. Give him one more year and he better make a postseason tournament or should be gone.

  2. Who is left... Blades, Onyemaobi, Calvin? Can we get 2 out of 3 ? Any others I forgot or any surprises?

      Blades yes, Calvin 50/50, Onyemaobi is a no. Told him sorry but no thanks.

      I will take it. If we land 1 of the CB, this class will be pretty darn good

    4. Cdog923

      Rumors are that Williams told Calvin to hit the bricks.

  3. Only because I haven't had much of an opportunity this year, and mainly because it is Creighton.......HOYAS !! (but I do feel bad for Watson. Kid was playing at an unbelievable level)

  4. Apparently we may not feel extremely confident in some of the potential verbals, bc I just read we offered another 3* CB. If we have limited schollys left and have 5 or more hanging and still offering ? Nice job of covering your bases so you are not left holding an empty bag.

      The thing is, we really don't need to hit CBs hard this year.

      Glad to see 'em get a couple guys lined up. Something always happens. Always.

      Good thinking HANC.

  5. I see where guys are saying we only have 2-3 scholly's left and that we "seem" to be in about 5-6 guys who will be announcing soon or LOI day. Guys discussing "who" we will take. I think we take them all, bc we will lose approx. 2-3 current guys that will leave.

      This is coming directly from our HB Recruiting Coordinator, so take it as the word. :)

      should be using the +3 rule every year

  6. Riley just got my full attention. He did what Bo never had the guts to do ! Spend the damn money. Miles? His son is a verbal and he can recruit everyone (except QBs). Lets get a great coach with big time pedigree.

    1. Vince R.

      Vince R.

      Miles is a Offensive minded coach.

  7. As disappointing as last Saturday was in recruiting, if MR and staff are on west coast this Saturday can almost make up for it. If they can land a couple verbals from both wr, then that changes everything. Well, it doesn't change to O-line ;)

      Make Calvin play OLine, that'll show him!

  9. At school, so haven't had time to do a lot of research. Outside of BB going to CU, (which was a last minute situation anyway), was there any note worthy surprises?

      We still haven't gotten an NLI from Pernell Jeferson.

      According to Sean Callahan, he's still expected to sign, we're just waiting on his HS ceremony.

  10. This may be the worst time of year…. ZERO FOOTBALL… Basketball team giving us nothing to be excited about, weather sucks, baseball/softball teams on road for weeks….track and field indoors…. YUCK ! No wonder Bears hibernate .

      Pretty sure bears hibernate for reasons other than no sprts to watch.

      Chicago Bears hibernate during the fall, too.

      Question: What kind of a bear is best?

  11. Question for Mavric or anyone….. Are there many guys whom we have to worry about academically? Not asking you to name names, unless it is already public knowledge… or by pm

    1. QMany

      QMany

      I haven't heard anything about the 20 2015 signees. Current players on the other hand ...

      Barry is the only possibility I've heard but he claims he's fine.

  12. 2 years in a row, we have had a snow day on NSD…..awesome ! Looks like Snyder and Alston, and we are all signed, barring any late surprises. Wrap 'em up MR and maybe get a late one.

      Yes….that is right…. I do remember a few years ago…

  13. " I don't care if she 'comes', stays, lays, or pravs, whatever happens my toes are still tappin'

  14. Listen, I have a hard time rooting for OSU, but I am…… and how can you NOT be a fan of Jones? This kid can flat out play. 3rd string and will have a great future in NFL…..

    1. ZRod

      Was thinking the same thing. Good thing because he didn't come to play no school.

      ^^^possibly because it ignores the lies that Chris Kyle told . . .

  16. After visiting the recruiting forum, and seeing another LB being pursued…..someone mentioned that we may try to get 7 or so LB in this class… is that a sign that the DC would "like" to run a 3-4 once he gets enough depth? Would assume so.

    1. onlyHskrfaninIL

      onlyHskrfaninIL

      I dont think its any more than a sign that the cupboard was left completely bare

    2. True2tRA

      True2tRA

      I think the coach said we'd run a 4-3 base but would rotate a 3 man front as well. I think we are taking seven linebackers purely because we are so desperate at the position.

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      It's a sign that our LB position was left in shambles. With a few rare exceptions, we've been extremely weak there for a long time.

  17. Apparently, nothing gets a crowd or the defense fired up like, "your love", by the Outfield…

    1. HANC

      HANC

      Okay….now the Beastie Boys…. I can live with that

  18. I can't wait to hear the explanation of the waved off CLEAR pass interference that could have kept pushing the Lions to score….. I really, really dislike the Cowboys and hope the Pack run them out of town next week.

    1. Minnesota_husker

      Minnesota_husker

      Interesting situation. I didnt think it was PI for the simple fact that face-guarding isnt illegal in the NFL and the contact was minimum at best.

  19. My wife is a sports fan, football coaches wife, but doesn't live in front of espn like me…. for her to spend an hour watching the Stuart Scott tributes and remembering his contributions says a lot about what he meant to ESPN. Amazed at his strength…. he didn't "lose".

    1. In the Deed the Glory

      In the Deed the Glory

      Same experience with my wife, she has been visibly shaken all morning. What an impact this man made on all of us.

  20. Anyone else glad to see Minnesota's Max Williams declare 2 years early…. I have watched them enough this year, and he is a stud. In fact, as much as my Steelers need help on defense, I would love for them to take Williams to follow Heath Miller

      He's incredible. Gonna succeed bit time in the NFL

    3. Touchdown Tommie

      Touchdown Tommie

      Yes. He is a great TE...should have a lot of success in the league.

    4. Treand3

      Treand3

      I am a fan of his. His level of athleticism and talent is something that most his size aren't capable of. Will be the 1st TE taken in the draft. Was only modestly rated recruit, but he's the types of athletes Nebraska should be able to get, especially TEs.

      It wasn't me, but I did have a relationship with Colt 45 until an encounter with Gobi, our beer bong, and spent the rest of the night dry heaving.

      The best part of these "status", is that I always literally laugh out loud at things people come up with… nothing better than humor…. good stuff

  22. For the SANITY of HB, I hope a Scott Frost offense doesn't go out and hang a ton on the Big 10 champs…. Assuming neither does anyone….but can I really cheer for OSU ??

  23. Okay…. Who let Tim Beck call that 1st down play for OSU…..wtf

      Ya. Turrible.

  24. I don't know if I just plain do NOT like either HC is this game because they are cocky, jerks or if I don't like them because deep inside, I am just jealous. I will say it is fun watching Saban beginning to sweat on the sidelines.

    1. HANC

      HANC

      oops…. I forgot, Saban doesn't sweat.

  25. A public "thank you" to Mavric for the work in the recruiting forum. This time of year, it becomes the place that I watch the most. I appreciate all of the updates.

      You can't say enough good things about what he has done for the board. Very knowledgeable on all things Husker.
