Outside of doing chores, I'm taking the Christmas eve and Christmas day off beginning at 5pm today to spend time with the kids and grandchildren playing games and watching fb and going to church. So I decided to ixnay on nonessential stuff...including the Husker board unfortunately. So to EACH AND EVERYONE of you people, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GBR

Complete BS. The 2024 Husker volleyball squad was #2, and it wasn’t close.

I mean, we had Penn State on the ropes in our last game and pretty much curb-stomped everyone else.

Hope everyone has an amazing Christmas!

Everybody saying they didn't belong.

Is that relevant? Did they just change the argument from who is #1 and 2 to who is #12?

Does anyone think the real champion got left out?

My vote trends towards no.

...To the bowl game to show his appreciation. What a classy move by a classy dude in an era (both in CFB and generally) when "what have you done for me lately" couldn't be more prevalent. If karma is real he will get this football program back to the mountaintop. Especially considering how a lot of outgoing seniors are looked at as used goods by a lot of first year head coaches. Rhule acted (and continues to act) like he coached them since peewee football.

The results in the W/L column will be what they'll be, but I continue to be amazed and thankful for how good of representative Rhule is for the football program and state. It's a rare thing.

A lot of new names in the two deep on the defensive side.

I've also had great luck historically with meat quality at Albertson's.

Anyone watching?
