Injuries and an inability to catch the ball got us smoked today.

We are down a DE, 2 LBers, our starting CB, and our starting LG. Too much for us to overcome, and with so many new kids in the lineup, mistakes were made.

Furthermore, we had 6-8 drops, just downright inexcusable. We have to get back on the practice field and make things right.

We look to right the ship next Saturday vs UCLA.

Hello friends. I'm in STL now to see Cardinal Ritter's game tonight. I stopped by their practice yesterday and Parker was decked out in Nebraska gear. He's locked in with the team and I'm excited to see him play tonight. Will report back here with some thoughts after seeing him live.

Curious - how are they working around you ? Just saw where Apple has cancelled their plans for a launch of them. Haven't worked up here ( N. Wisc) so well. Dealer friend still has his sitting on the lots with few takers . Those sold have been as toys more than actual use. Too cold much of year and few charging stations in rural areas . How about where you are ?

Best local pub to watch Husker football game? Thedford, Dunning? Need some guidance, thanks in advance!

Our offense thrives on speed and timing. CFB is basically NFL lite at this point, why not be the first team with a retractable roof! could you imagine how much louder it would be for opposing teams??

Their backup QB is really bad. Scrambles into rushers, throws YOLOs.

Game story via Husker Athletics:

EAST LANSING, Mich. – The No. 2 Nebraska volleyball team swept Michigan State on Friday, 25-15, 25-19, 25-15, at the Breslin Center.

The Huskers (17-1, 7-0 B1G) were in control from the middle of the first set onward, ending with a .364 hitting percentage while holding the Spartans (7-11, 0-7 B1G) to .141.

Taylor Landfair and Harper Murray paced the Huskers to their 14th win in a row with 12 kills each. Landfair hit .417, while Murray hit .333.

Nebraska served two aces with five errors, while Michigan State had one ace with seven errors. NU led in kills (48-31), digs (46-31) and blocks (6-4).

Andi Jackson added 10 kills with five blocks and hit .600. Merritt Beason had nine kills. Rebekah Allick contributed three kills and hit .429.

Bergen Reilly had 34 assists and nine digs, and Murray had eight digs while Kennedi Orr and Laney Choboy had seven.

Set 1: The Huskers got off to a 5-2 start with Beason starting with two kills and a block, while Murray had a kill and Jackson was in on two blocks. But Michigan State fought back to go up 8-6 after a 6-1 run. The teams went back and forth trading points until a 4-0 Husker run served by Beason made it 17-13 Big Red. Jackson had a kill before Murray had back-to-back kills. Another kill by Murray and a block by Jackson and Reilly put the Huskers up by five, 19-14. Nebraska closed the set on a 6-0 run to win 25-15 with three kills by Landfair, one by Murray and one by Reilly.

Set 2: Jackson had two kills around one by Reilly as the Huskers led 7-4. After MSU got within 7-6, Landfair and Murray had back-to-back kills before a block by Allick and Landfair, and another Landfair kill made it 12-6 after a 5-0 run served by Orr. Allick and Landfair again struck kills to push the score to 14-7, and Allick and Beason kills helped NU to a 19-8 advantage after a 5-0 run served by Olivia Mauch. After Michigan State scored a 5-0 run to get within 19-13, Murray posted a sideout kill, and another by Jackson kept NU on top, 21-15. The set ended 25-19 on Landfair's ninth kill.

Set 3: NU led 7-5 after a kill by Jackson and ace by Beason. Murray, Landfair and Allick added kills as the Big Red moved to a 13-9 advantage. Back-to-back kills by Beason and Murray put NU up 15-11 at the media timeout. Murray had two straight kills, and Jackson had two straight kills, before a Landfair roll shot made it 21-13 Big Red. Reilly and Jackson combined for a block, and Jackson smashed a kill for a 23-13 lead. Beason ended the match at 25-15 with a kill.

Up Next: Nebraska will turn around to play at Ohio State on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. (CT) on NBC.

Based on annual salary

How is this not a penalty for not enough men on the line of scrimmage? I feel like Nebraska’s been nickeled and dimed on this for having a Left Tackle a little too far off the line. FSU had like 4 guys on the LOS at best when the ball was snapped.

Is he the modern version of 70’s and 80’s Tom Osborne? Growing up in the 80’s I was always hearing from the “adults” that Coach Osborne was a nice guy that can’t win the big game. Day has the “can’t win the big one” reputation, and Michigan has turned into his Oklahoma. Tom almost left for Colorado in the late 70’s. If there was social media in the 80’s, I don’t know if Dr. Tom survives. Thoughts??? GBR

That has to be some kind of record

I recently became aware of the ACC's format and I was intrigued. It's a 12-team tournament with four three-team round-robin pools. The team with the best record in each pool advances to the semifinals and it's single elimination from there. It's a larger version of the what the Big 12 did 2006-2010. I was lukewarm on that at the time (perhaps because Augie pushed for it) but I'm intrigued now.

POSITIVES
-Set scheduling. Everyone knows who will be playing who and when Tuesday through Friday.
-Increased value of the regular season. The higher seed advances if there is a tie in pool play. And the top seeds get preferential scheduling.
-Less stress on pitching for teams deep in the tournament.
-All teams reaching the semi-finals and finals will have played the same number of games.

NEGATIVES
-Greater impact of a loss. In a true double-elimination tournament, you can survive a loss as long as you keep winning afterward. In pool play, it's out of your control. All the teams except the top four seeds are eliminated with one loss.
-Less drama. There are fewer games where the winner advances and the loser goes home. It's entirely possible for the last day of pool play to be completely meaningless with the semifinals already set.
-Fewer games per team. Two-thirds of the field is guaranteed to play exactly two games. That's not what you want if you're on the NCAA bubble. Even if you're solidly in the tournament, do you want to potentially have 8-9 days off?

Here's what this year's Big Ten tourney would have looked like using the ACC template:

Pool A - #1 Illinois, #8 Penn State, #12 Rutgers
Pool B - #2 Nebraska, #7 Ohio State, #11 Maryland
Pool C - #3 Indiana, #6 Purdue, #10 Minnesota
Pool D - #4 Michigan, #5 Iowa, #9 Michigan State

Tuesday - #11 Maryland vs. #7 Ohio State, #9 Michigan State vs. #5 Iowa, #6 Purdue vs. #10 Minnesota
Wednesday - #4 Michigan vs. #9 Georgia Tech, #12 Rutgers vs. #8 Penn State, #3 Indiana vs. #10 Minnesota
Thursday - #2 Nebraska vs. #11 Maryland, #1 Illinois vs. #12 Rutgers, #3 Indiana vs. #6 Purdue
Friday - #4 Michigan vs. #5 Iowa, #2 Nebraska vs. #7 Ohio State, #1 Illinois vs. #8 Penn State

I think a 12-team tournament in a 17-team league seems sensible. And this might be a good way to go. The alternative is something like the SEC which is a single/double elimination hybrid and I'm not a huge fan of that. Food for thought.

Virginia coach retires. Interesting timing

This one hurts, a true musical HERO of mine ...
