  1. Just realized I was still following Mike Riley on Twitter.  That resulted in a quick unfollow.

      Did any of his tweets say, "I just need 6 more years to get this thing humming along"?

      Ya know weather like that doesn't just pop up out of nowhere in Nebraska. They can see it coming for days. Somebody asleep at the wheel.

      Somebody at my work keeps saying they couldn't put any brine or pretreatment down because the roads weren't cold enough and it would've been a waste of time. Either way, the roads are a$$.

      Good for him.  He is the 2nd best TE on that team though and that is not a knock on Fant but a compliment to the other guy.  Hockenson is the complete package.  Noah will have to get better at blocking or go somewhere they use him like Jimmy Graham.  Iowa will still be loaded at TE next year if Hock stays, but losing Fant does take away an explosive option on the perimeter.

      I wouldnt mind one bit if the Vikings drafted him. Obviously not an area of need, but good player. Makes life easier against Iowa.

      BOL to Fant in the NFL.  Hopefully he's able to catch on with a team that will allow him to play to his strengths.

  4. Shatel has a good article today about how Riley wasn’t recruiting Nick Henrich from Burke very hard, and Eichorst alienated Henrich’s parents. My brother also told me that when Bryson Williams from LSE visited NU, Riley asked Bryson how his flight was. Riley and Eichorst were the biggest jokes ever.

      We probably won't hear of Masry Mapieu again and unfortunately we'll probably see a lot of Bryson Williams.

      @TonyStalloniRight on. Ive said it for awhile now. Perlman was poison for athletics. You can have both great athletics and academics but some want to fight one way or the other for some reason. Mr. Burns, i mean Perlman, set our athletics back his whole tenure. Chancellor Green is getting things back on track but has a big mess to clean up from Perlman.

      Riley is an a$$h@!e.  What a con man.  I don't know if I want to punch him or shake his hand.  Dude figured out "the game of life" like few people ever have before.

  5. Jalen Hurts to Oklahoma.  Didn't expect that.

      This is a weird spot.  I've never been overly impressed with Hurts' ability to read through progressions or deliver the ball effectively.  Maybe that won't matter much given Riley's ability to scheme dudes open plus the general lack of defense in the Big XII.  I have zero doubts on him as a runner though.  Who knows, maybe I'm dead wrong here.

      Well, isn't his family from Texass? Would make sense he picked the school that utilizes Texass talent the best. 

  6. Brett Maher is not having a strong training camp for the Cowboys so far.  He might be on thin ice to keep his job for this season.  Kickers can go from great to "bad" so quickly.

      Agreed. I think it also shows a willingness to change and grow by the coaches.

      I fully believe they didn't run Tommy more last year because they were uncomfortable with the depth behind him.

  18. Ran into a guy at the hotel bar last night who had a Nebraska Blackshirts shirt on. I go up to him and asked him if he was from Nebraska fan, and he replied "actually I'm a Hawkeyes fan". I immediately walked away and almost threw up in my mouth.

      Maybe he really was a Husker fan but embarrassed to admit it. Figured he was in Mexico so just pretended to be somebody else.

      I don't see the conflict.  Iowa put over 400 yards on the blackshirts last year.  If I was a Hawkeye, I'd be a blackshirt fan too.

  19. Someone who is much better at pasting Twitter posts should start a thread from SpreadOffense.com@SpreadOffense on Twitter.  They are showing a bunch of old spread plays from the 90s, and how Osborne started so many of today's spread principles.

      Osborne was just scratching the surface of getting into some spread principles near the end of his tenure.  It's some cool stuff.

  20. The more and more I read about Riley's tenure and I think about him, he's the type of guy who would be great at leading a non-profit, charitable organization, but would be awful at leading a corporate behemoth that needs to report strong earnings every quarter.

  21. How funny is that Kliff Kingsbury will have to resign as USC OC in order to interview for HC jobs in the NFL.  Also, how odd is that Kingsbury can be fired from a middle of the pack Big 12 team, but be hired as a NFL head coach the same season.

      The NFL doesn’t seem to care that much about firings.  How Hue Jackson has a job is beyond me.  Looks like Todd Bowles is going to join the Bucs as dc.  I’m sure there will be more to come.

      About 5 seasons ago I found the most amazing Husker shirt ever...It was long sleeve...white...thermal...with Herbie on it and sort of washed out... My dong reached such length that I dare not discuss it...

       

      It arrived at my house...and...it was not white but cream.  I almost cried but I manned up and contacted the place...alas they were here an Omaha and told me to just stop in and exchange it...so I went...it was just a big warehouse and I walked in and found a dude to help me.  He took me to the shelf where the shirts were and guess what...THEY WERE ALL CREAM!

       

      I was so sad...I still wear it but it just isn't the same.
