jumped off side and didn’t see him again.

Thinking back to a comment about why Dowdell may have been shouldering more of the load vs EJ someone had mentioned the possibility of NIL commitments.

Looking at Iowa they didn’t have a QB competition in the spring but having seen their 2nd and 4th string perform better than McNamara does the NIL arrangement prevent players from overtaking based on talent?

Were DH’s comments about position groups keying into their “favorites” more a factor of NIL than being actual “favorites”?

I believe people should compete on merit and not NIL commitments.

Omaha Westside (9-0) vs. Millard South (8-1)

my buddy and I put $20 on it ... I got Millard South -7.5

Any real smoke on his entering the portal or is all social media garbage?

Matt Rhule dives further into the Wisky win, previews Black Friday at Iowa, how it feels this week knowing they have their postseason ticket already punched and more – including his announcement that Malachi Coleman plans to enter the transfer portal.

Coaches Poll released on Tuesday

Our field goal kicking at the start of the year was a complete dumpster fire. Dinglefritz kept telling everyone on here that Hohl was a good kicker and the fault was not his. Dingle was right.

John Hohl is money. The dude can flat-out kick. He has accuracy and can kick long kicks as well. He got us nine points today which was huge. So here is to our next Alex Henerey!

We're going fvcking bowling!! God bless Ty and Nash and all the seniors who came back and helped end this long nightmare!!
Now beat Iowa.
Win the Bowl.
Finish strong in recruiting.
Finally
Go Big Fvcking Red!!

Planes, Trains and Automobiles, and Strange Brew. Absolute classic gems.

Some thought he was overrated and some thought it was poor coaching. What is the board opinion now?

1st thing, extremely glad Fickle ran the ball. 2nd thing, although Gifford stood the running back up….the fumble was caused by Blye Hill. Great seeing him back on the field!

I saw about three different ones in their game against Maryland. Stretch, Counter, and a bootleg to the TE in the flat.

The key will be our linebackers not biting on misdirection and our ends not losing containment on perimeter.

Coach Fickell has never won at Nebraska as a head coach? He lost as interim in the Bauserman/Ohio State fall out and now as whisky HC. Nice to know that the streak countinues.

This is Dillingham's reaction when the officials put one second back to the clock with ASU leading BYU 28-23. It gave BYU a chance for a hail marry pass from mid-field. The pass was caught by a BYU player, but a few yards short of the end zone.

Rhule deserves to be fired, he probably wont but he would have had 10 tries to get to a 6th win and failed. 6-6 with a bowl and some staff changes would keep him safe but have some well deserved heat.

Congrats, Jacory Barney

his 49 catches are an NU record for a true frosh. needless to say that number will grow, and perhaps considerably.

9 catches today. fun player to watch.
