2027 St. Joseph (Ill.) Ogden offensive tackle Cameron Wagner is regarded as one of the top '27 offensive line prospects in the state for the cycle and he's planning to see Nebraska this weekend. Credit to running backs coach EJ Barthel who's built a good relationship early on here. He's on offer watch this weekend

CasperCody here...Guys, as of the other day there aren't a whole lot signed up YET! Dust the clubs off and come on out!! Also, because of the low numbers Indy said to bring a friend along if you want.. Can't wait to put a face to the fellow scrollers.

DM Indy if you want to play!

Woof.

Dak probably broke a rib lol'ing about the leverage he just inherited.

Holy cow that was just ugly defense

Mainly interested in sports. BIG channel is a must. Which is Best bang for your buck?


Holla

Andi Jackson was lifter of the year, and has played international VB since the spring match, so her game has gone next level. she is explosive and plays with confidence. she can dominate when she's fired up. Allick won't give up her role as primary middle blocker without a fight, and Blackwell showed great strength in her blocks and power in her swings. but neither is the athlete that Jackson is. she has also become a great blocker.

Reilly is a great setter, and so is Orr. They each elevated their game this year.

The backrow defensive talent is ridiculous. Rodriguez may become NU's alltime digs leader this year, and if so she'll pass gold medalist Orantes. Throw in Choboy and now freshman Mauch (who had 21 digs to Rodrigez's 15) and teams are going to wonder how they can ever get a ball down.

I'm not sure who Cook will start and rotate at OH. Murray is super smooth, and now has become super crafty; but Krause is back with a bigger cannon than last year,--yet not as powerful as Landfair when she was firing (she was inconsistent). but i would say i felt most comfortable with Pierce's swing, once she got going. so what's a head coach to do? i'm sure Cook will end up playing the most consistent OH, and that includes them playing all rotations--and getting their serves in.

Oh yeh, almost in the shadows tonight was Beason, who looked dynamic, and is still the leader of this team.

It's a rough schedule, but there's a lot of talent to deal with it. And some tough decisions for coach Cook.

Some friends and I are starting to plan next years annual boys golf trip. Trying to get an early start since so many of us are having kids or have young kids where it's seems like the more notice the better.

We typically are looking at like a Thursday-Sunday trip. 36-72 holes depending on if the location has other sources of entertainment(gambling preferred, breweries, lake day, etc). Probably at least 2 courses if not 3. We've gone about every direction but west, so hoping for some good recommendations in Colorado ish. We stretch from Sioux Falls down to Omaha/Lincoln, so pretty linear in that respect.

TIA!

The days of easy games are long gone. From top to bottom collage football is closer then ever. NFL lite.

Time for another edition of the Conversations with Clouse live chat from 7-8pm.

Fire away with those questions!

There is a quick shot of the Husker Volleyball team on the Candace Parker commercial with Mahomes and others. Pretty neat.

Anyone else besides these obvious ones?

Tarheelhusker ( not to be confused with Tarheelhuskerfan) is a long time Husker fan and my brother. He entered hospice yesterday and will not come home. I got the news an hour ago and am in Juneau on a cruise. Bought a cigar and on the smoke deck with a double Makers Mark thinking of the goofy shit we did as kids. All I ask is that if you get a chance to sip a shot tonight is that you give him a thought. Nothing sad or morose, just a wish for a soft passing. Thanks.

Kapi looking pretty good.
