my coworker who is a Iowa fanatic says he heard the Cooper Dejean is out for the rest of the year. Now if we can get the punter hurt we might be in business!!

how do they stack up this year?

By my count, if everybody came back and we signed just our current class, then we'd have 103. So, we can probably assume that with some additional HS signers, some defections, and some portal players, we'll be at around 108. That means that 23 players who are not Seniors will have to leave or continue to play off scholarship.

2023 Seniors (10)

Grant
Kemp
Washington
Fleeks
Nouili
Reimer
Newsome
Brown
Sanford
Ortiz

So where do we get the other 23?

Sims
Charles
Bell
Benhart
Corcoran
Piper
Scott
Hood
Goldman
Appleget
Robinson - NFL
Hutmacher - NFL
Buckley
Wallin
Rollins
Williams
Snodgrass
Stenger

After Saturday’s USC game. I believe we play that at home next season. What an uphill climb for that program, new coach, many transfers heading out and they enter the BIG.

What would it take to get Kliff Kingsbury to Neb as OC & QB Guru? Or more pipe dream?

Great. Just great.

Looks like Northwestern is set on hiring interim head coach David Braun, who has the Wildcats one win away from bowl eligibility.

Nebraska and Stony Brook tip off at 7 p.m. tonight. The game is not televised but will be available online at B1G Plus with Jessica Coody and Erick Strickland on the call.

Here's a quick preview of the game against the Seawolves:


And here's the availability report that was just released:



No Juwan Gary listed, so expect to see him tonight as he returns from suspension. Ramel Lloyd Jr. is listed as out, which is interesting considering this tweet from his dad earlier today:

After a slow start offensively in the first half, Nebraska scored a season-best 48 points in the second half in a win over Stony Brook Wednesday.

Here's the recap:

My son is really into paleontology. He's seven and all the time want to go look for fossils.

Long ago in college I went to a rock quarry outside of Omaha and found fossils but can't recall where. It was for a college class and instructor probably had special permissions.

I looked online but can't find anything outside Crawford Ne...

Just off the top of your head?

TIA

The top ten, the Huskers, the Badgers and the bottom-ranked team
