Do think Hood will like blocking for McCord? I wonder if McCord would rather throw to Carter Nelson as a TE or WR? Is there really no place Like Nebraska?

And he looked decent. That's an interesting choice.

Was just looking up McCord stuff..... How is this even possible? Tristan Gebbia - 2023 - Football - Ohio State (ohiostatebuckeyes.com)

I would rather take Howard as well. I think his skill set is a better match for what we have for abilities on O. I also hope we get two. A 1 year guy and someone like Leavitt.

You're not wrong. Problems were bigger than QB....... But that talk fizzled out as quickly as it started. Injury or no injury, he was not the starter at the end of the year.

Endowments or annuities maybe?

I think Rhule's statement about what it was going to take earlier in the week was a strategy play. What I took from that statement was "We are going to pay up", not "This is what it costs".

Never felt like Suh was that strong of a passer. I’m glad Ganz started over him.

This was just disappointing. I was skeptical going into this season but I was starting to buy in. They miss way too many 'high percentage' shots. They do a great job to get there and they just miss the shot. The way they play defense does allow for some open 3s, but that doesn't bother me as much. They also struggle with rebounding and shooting 3s. I'm a casual basketball fan. I don't know much about it, but I like watching Nebraska basketball. It just sucks because I think basketball could be electric here if we were ever good.

He's playing like he has his entire career (at Nebraska) except for 6 weeks last year. Those 6 weeks turned him into some kind of mythical legend.

Cool story. Has nothing to do with your statement.

That's what you've got? He's jealous? Why don't you do what everyone else does and attach phobe to it? @Decked is clearly a Simmsaphobe.

This....... I played D2 football. I also was around many legit D1 players through high school. I think it's lazy when people say he will excel at a lower level. If you can't remember the play or handle a snap, you're a liability. Regardless of the level of comp. He's a risk for whoever takes him. I think he's going to have a real hard time finding a decent destination. And I think we all know how it's going to go. EDIT: But a FCS school may want to risk one of their 63 schollys because he's a nice guy and good teammate. A D2 would most certainly consider breaking up one of there 36 scholly's to have a positive clip board holder.

I get a little nervous about QBs like McCord. He has one of the best O Lines and a stacked receiver room. I'd like to see a player that is a game manager that has overachieved based on the talent around them. Seems less risky to me.

And switch to Nike and hold a few “Backyard” practices at Pioneers Park.

Not sure I do

If you get 5 yards on 1st down and 5 yards on 2nd down you don't even need 3rd down. Coaches are dumb. It's so easy.

Tells a lot about effort of this staff. Despite what many have claimed throughout the year. Hopefully they close on a pair of QBs.

I'm going to get beat up for this, but it is what it is. I grew up watching NASCAR. I watched it when no one did in the 80's and 90's. I watched it all the sudden become popular with the masses and it has pretty much leveled off. I think this was the first year in 30+ years that I didn't watch one race. Branding is so important. I know people want to see the N on the helmet, but they also want to identify with the players. They want to know their story. They want to consider them Nebraskan's even if they are from Compton. I think this is one thing NASCAR has destroyed in Branding. The cars use to have one sponsor and you'd build a familarity with Tide, GM Goodwrench or Valvoline. Now the look of the car changes every week and I think it's hard to connect. The bigger thing has been the revolving door of very young drivers. You never build that bond with the driver(player) when they constantly changing and you don't anything about them. Different players every year, specifically at the skilled positions will hurt CFB.

What I'd be doing is working with a Masters level Computer Science student trying to build a program that helps build football IQ. Take the players through scenarios and rules of the game and challenge them. Gamify what they will see on Saturdays. Make it fun, but teach them at the same time. Our Football IQ in Lincoln is terrible right now. Could be the next Hudl spin off. We do something similar to this in my current company. We simulate common scenarios to build awareness and capability. We are no where near the cutting edge, but there is some pretty interesting stuff out there.

How did these backyard football games you played when you were younger prepare you for P5 FBS football? Was it touch? Helmets only? Who called plays? Help with my curiosity. You may be on to something. Hoiberg should have his players going to Prairie Life (Genesis) to scrimmage my son and his friends in the summer.

Someone at Barstool was “working from home” today.
