Let’s not blame him for his parents. As far as I know, he has always bled Husker red, even through 2 major knee surgeries. His mom didn’t follow the 24 hour rule of letting emotions die down after a game before saying anything about playing time. People make mistakes. She watched her son suffer physically and emotionally for 4 years. Let’s show a little compassion here people..
Frankly, I don’t care about her feelings or whatever. He hasn’t been anything special. He did have some injuries and that’s a shame, but is what it is. His blocking was mediocre, and really kinda shitty based on his size and supposed athleticism
I really don’t care if he leaves, especially with our new TEs coming in.

If Dana wants to be an OC in 2025, I think he would want to be OC for Nebraska. Raiola at QB is the biggest reason. Another is he is already here, and the fanbase already thinks his shit doesn’t stink. Even a loss to Iowa would not dampen the positive feelings of going bowling.

Rhule just can’t screw this up. He needs to let Dana make the staff changes he wants. If he wants them.

All certainly possible. Also possible that Rhule can go and find a different OC that will work out. He found Dana, he found Jeff Nixon, who isn’t a terrible OC at Syracuse. He went and got Tony White. Lots of possibilities out there and assuming we’ll just be fvcked without Dana is kind of small-picture thinking.

Rhule has already shown boat loads more flexibility than any head man we’ve had in the past 20 years. Cosgrove, Mark Banker, Eric Chinander anyone?? People that assume he won’t make necessary changes at this point have just been so triggered they’ve made their hatred personal against him.
First of all, I like Matt, I just think he's really overrated as a head coach. If he was as good as some people think he is, he wouldn't have found himself in this desperate situation in the first place.

Yes, NU can get a different OC, but I doubt many of them can come in and completely revise an offense in 2 weeks as Dana has demonstrated. How many of them are gonna have the balls to call out players and by implication their position coaches?

I resent the fact you think I have "hate" for Matt. I've only criticized his "elite" bullshit, some of his overstatements and overestimations of some current and former players, i.e. SIms, that have proven to be bullshit, but I haven't personally attacked him like a few others on here. He talks too much before players have proven it on the field.

Now, continue on with your hate fest with kong.

Matt Rhule saved Nebraska football

I've agreed with a lot of your takes over the last couple years, but now you just sound like a broken record. This was probably the most complete game against an in-conference opponent since the 2015 Michigan St game. This is what I've been waiting to see for a long time. I'm going to enjoy it. Colorado was a nice win earlier this year, but we didn't do anything in the second half to carry momentum forward. In this game, we never let off the gas. That is exactly what Nebraska football should look like.
No. I agree. I am happy for the kids and you could see the difference that Dana makes. We finally get to a bowl, but it doesnt hide the fact that we are more than likely going to have an 8th cosecutive losing season ( 6-7 ). That is the real monkey on their back that needs to be removed for Matt's sake.

So you’re saying at the very least, your mental instability had you constantly contradicting yourself about the Dana hire. The proof is in the puddin’, puddin’.

“What the actual f*ck is our Head Elf doing?”

1. Are you saying Dannen is now our “head elf”?

2. Matt Rhule is getting us to a f*cking bowl game for the first time in 8 years you thankless twat.
Nothing I’ve said had anything to do with Dana - an actual football coach, as I’ve posted a billion times - and everything to do with the timing.

Why it took Rhule 22 games to admit what I knew after a single half will always be a mystery to me.

I’m glad the change was made (said this a billion times) I hate that it took flushing a season down the toilet for it to happen (said this a billion times).

I’m sorry you’re incapable of processing nuanced thought.

For real - a break from this board would do you a lot of good. Every waking moment is consumed by King_Kong_.

It’s Sunday. Your formula-fed child is off to daycare to be raised by someone else tomorrow as you go pull cable and your wife brings home the bacon.

Please don’t let me ruin your actual life as badly as I’ve ruined your message board life.

Black Friday Weather

I thought if we lost to Wisconsin that we would also lose to Iowa. Conversely I thought if we beat Wisky we would also beat Iowa. I stand by that prediction. Especially since we beat Wisky convincingly.

I think we win by 10 points or so. There are two factors to consider. One is definitely the weather. I think it will affect both teams. It will be interesting to see how DR handles the cold, windy night. But I like his chances of dealing with the weather better than Iowa’s QB. The bottom line is we have the better QB which is huge.

The second factor is Holgorsen. Will we add even more wrinkles to the offense to keep Iowa on its heels? Because Iowa now has game tape of Holgorsen’s tweaks to our offense and they will prep for that. I would wager that Holgorsen has a few more wrinkles up his sleeve.

After watching Wisky shut down Oregon’s offense I thought they would be better than they were. Will Iowa be better than Wisky on defense? Probably, but not by much based on what I have seen.

I like our match-ups with them. Their strength on offense is their running game and that is the strong suit of our defense. Our offense will need to be able to run the ball as well. So thank God Holgorsen has correctly identified EJ as our featured back.

Nebraska 24 Iowa 14
Little early with your prediction isn’t it.Winking
