Cutting the roster to 105

This is going to be a good thing for Nebraska football. Nebraska needs to be focused in every respect, and I don't believe there is any way to efficiently coach a roster of 150+ players. Guys who could be "developed" are getting lost in the shuffle. I guarantee multiple points this season Rhule has thought "damn, I forgot about that guy" or maybe even "who the hell is this guy?" Sure, we might lose a few guys who could have eventually contributed, but that will be more than offset by focusing on a smaller number and getting them the reps and coaching that is so critical. I'm glad the NCAA is making a decision that we're too dumb to make ourselves.


I tend to agree. Didn't love the use of NIL funds to put walk-on's on scholarship either, could open a substantial amount of money.

Fred nailing it about the Creighton Cuckster Fans!

Fred loses me with the "not very much fun for the coach" stuff.

A lot of Power 5 basketball coaches seem to think it's a lot more fun to play Florida A&M, Lindenwood and Delaware State year after year, while collecting enormous salaries and bonuses. Good work if you can get it, I suppose, but fans actually like to see competitive basketball.
I think the context is in the stress involved in these types of games. Not that he's afraid of competing against tough teams, but the extra pressure involved with competing against a team that you are consistently measured against.

OT: Las Vegas

Go to Minneapolis instead

Be sure and check out the George Floyd memorial!!!

We had a cabin in MN booked for Sept....after we booked it I really started looking at shit to do up there...and since we don't fish I asked my wife WTF are we going to do for a week? There was literally nothing else to do where we would have been. We cancelled it and did get our money back.

If you play the myvegas app games (android is super easy to get loyalty points), you can easily get at least a night free at one of the MGM properties. Every so often they'll run 2 nights free just for using loyalty points and with android, some of the games you don't even need to 'play' to earn the points. Actually, redeemed a one-night free room (do have to pay the evil resort fee sadly) for next week with family visiting. If you play out of Clark County, you can get like $75 in slot freeplay pretty easily too with like a month of consistent 'app play'. Since I live in Vegas, I'm not eligible for that promotion.
