If I put the over/under that there will be 6 players on the roster from this class for the first game in 2027… would you take over or under?

…the game of his life. Win or lose PSU is very legit.

Does the Clemson win mean SMU stays in and Alabama is out?

Anybody watching these games today?

Condiment St is up on ASU 7-3.

Going to the playoffs… Jeff motha fvcking Simms. Granted he probably won’t play until ASU is down 35 pts. But damn, god has a twisted sense of humor.

I like Parker and Emmett and to a lesser extent Dowdell, but we need to go find a transfer RB.


We need another guy with the balance and cutting ability of Emmett but able to move a pile and run a guy over as well

I hope the staff recognizes the need there and identifies a solid one in the portal.

I felt like running back play held us back this year and getting a very good RB could mean the difference between 6-6 and 9-3 next year.

It just seems high time Nebraska has a stud RB again.

Thoughts?

Don't know if this is true, or even partially true, but I have to wonder whether what is happening now with all of the players who are getting into the portal is that the 2025 NIL deals have been presented and the players are reacting accordingly, hoping to score a better deal before their career is over.

Look at Butler, Williams, Wallin, and Jackson. What if they sat down with these players and told them that the dollars are going to be allocated to players that they see as having better upside such as Davis, Jeudy, Van Popple, Lefotu, and Terry, and that they see the portal market and think they can use the remaining available money more wisely on a couple of targets in the portal who have more upside?

Same with Coleman and Hall, we have some pretty highly ranked young WR to pay and will be looking for one in the portal. Hopefully this was communicated and that's the reason they're leaving. The DK situation is simple math. The kid they signed on Wednesday is just way better and with DR2 coming the next year, the chance of him playing or getting paid is pretty remote.

Gbayor, Princewell, and Thompson, maybe McGahee, Shavers, Jones, and Merritt have more upside, maybe they're banking on Wright getting another year and a good portal pick who both need money.

Anyway, I hope this is happening this way. If this is actually happening at all of the affected position groups, it's a better situation than the appearance that the rats are jumping off a sinking ship.

Wow. Best in the country?

Oregon incomplete backwards pass. No call or review. Oregon should have had 2 penalties on their last TD. Lineman way downfield and Gabriel was across the line when he threw it. All on one drive.

Coworker asked for restaurant recommendations for a steak at a place that isn’t terribly expensive.

I normally recommend Committee Chophouse, 801, or Mahogany, but she wants less expensive.
