Can someone point me to how or where I can turn off the function that decides to change my wording or spelling when I post?

I continually have to go back and correct a correction or changed spelling, and it is pissing me off.

Back for another year with the Bucs. I don't care what anyone says. This man is a first ballot HOFer.

Nebraska football's X account posted some workout pictures tonight.

Not much, but thought I'd throw some of the pictures of the players in here in case anyone wants a look at the guys they featured. Some new faces made the cut:

WR Jacory Barney Jr.:




Top pic: OL Jason Maciejczak (#76)
Middle pic: Dylan Raiola
Bottom pic: From left on the ground; OL Tyler Knaak, DL David Hoffken, Notre Dame OG transfer Rocco Spindler
Behind Knaak: OL Jacob Brandl, PK Nico Ottomanelli (#91), Grant Brix (#66), Grant Seagren (#79), Missouri transfer DL/edge Williams Nwaneri (#90)

At least with Rhule there's some hope this upcoming season. Maybe that's Kool-Aid thinking.

Fred however has seriously underperformed his salary. Not saying he should be canned but at a minimum restructure his contract. Pay him $1M /year and take the other $3M to NIL us some skilled basketball players that fit his system.. I realize this comes with some risks (see Kansas this year) but another year of average transfers will not get us over the top. Williams and Gary flash at times but they aren't good enough to carry the rest of this team. And expecting Mast to be a difference maker next year is not realistic. GBR

No commentary necessary.

Here's a press release on what Nebraska Athletics has planned to replace the traditional spring game. It'll be called 'Husker Games':

Husker Games presented by FNBO Set for April 26 in Lincoln

The Husker Games presented by FNBO are set for Saturday, April 26 and represent a complete day of activities for the entire family. Nebraska fans will have the opportunity to get a preview of the 2025 Husker football, volleyball and soccer teams as part of the Husker Games events.

The Husker Games will include football activities in Memorial Stadium, a soccer matchup with Wyoming at Hibner Stadium and a spring volleyball match against Kansas at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The day will also feature tours of the Osborne Legacy Complex, the Husker Equipment Sale and a Food Truck Festival.

On the football field, Nebraska will compete in various events, including 7-on-7 games, skills competitions similar to the NFL’s Pro Bowl games, fan engagement activities and other events. In addition to previewing the 2025 team, Nebraska greats of the past will also put their skills on display in various competitions.

Gates to Memorial Stadium will open at 12:30 p.m. At 1 p.m., an exhibition flag football game between Midland University and a Nebraska intramural all-star team will showcase the rising sport of women’s flag football. Husker football activities will begin at 2 p.m. A ticket to the football portion of the Husker Games will be $10 for adults and $1 for youth eighth grade and younger.

Following the action in Memorial Stadium, the Husker soccer team will hold a spring exhibition match against Wyoming at Hibner Stadium. The game will begin at 4:30 p.m. with free admission.

Head Volleyball Coach Dani Busboom Kelly will make her Nebraska debut when the Huskers take on Kansas at 6:30 p.m. in a spring matchup at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The Huskers are coming off a 33-3 season and a trip to the NCAA Semifinals, while Kansas reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season and posted a 25-5 record.

Fans also can participate in three other events throughout the morning and early afternoon. The Husker Food Truck festival will take place outside the East Stadium from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. and includes various food and truck options from local vendors.

The Osborne Legacy Complex, which opened last summer, will be on full display to a limited number of Husker fans for the first time. Comprehensive tours will be available between 8 a.m. and Noon.

Fans purchasing a ticket to any of the Husker Games events will also be admitted for free to the Husker Equipment Sale which will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Hawks Championship Center. Clearance and discounted team merchandise, including jerseys, helmets and other apparel will be available along with surplus marketing and promotional items and collectibles. Local retailers will also have booths set up at the Husker Spring sale with their own discounted and clearance merchandise.

Tickets for all Husker Games events will be available through a tiered on-sale beginning at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, March 11, and continuing through 3 p.m. when tickets to all events will be on sale to the public. Fans who are a part of a Huskers Athletic Fund priority tier will receive direct communication on their time slot to purchase tickets. All tickets can be purchased at Huskers.com/tickets.
