Curious if Coach MR preaches the “85% rule” to our guys…

Was introduced to it many years ago by my college coach. Have used it with differing measures of success throughout many aspects of life…both in sports and beyond. It’s been helpful on the golf course, the tennis court, the gym….and the board room to a certain extent. Hope Rhule uses this as part of his prep, as I think it could be helpful when it comes to cutting down on penalties in turnovers & early game nerves.

I get it seems counterintuitive intuitive, given the 110% mantra often preached in sports.

Here are a couple articles that explain it in principal:

Volleyball Nebraska tied for No. 5 in AVCA Preseason Poll

The Huskers were picked No. 5 in the AVCA Preseason Poll for the second time in three season earlier this afternoon.

Texas (44), Wisconsin (6), Stanford (13), Louisville, Pittsburgh and the Huskers make up the top five. Minnesota, Penn State, Oregon and Kentucky round out the top ten. With how it stands, Nebraska will have two top-ten showdowns during non-conference play with the Cardinal and Wildcats.

Football Takeaways: Fidone set for "explosive year," Doss is a "special" talent

Wrote up some key takeaways from Jeff Sims' presser today – his first appearance at the podium since Big Ten Media Days at the end of July.

>>> Thomas Fidone set for "explosive year"
>>> Rhule and Sims both have thoughts on Fidone's potential role in offense
>>> Jaidyn Doss is a "special" talent
>>> Sims helping to develop freshmen WRs who know they're going to have "a bigger role than they expected"

Jayshawn Ross to Nebraska?



The situation that Matt Rhule came into at Nebraska football certainly wasn’t ideal. After firing Bo Pelini, the Cornhuskers looked to Nebraska legend Scott Frost to resurrect the program. That experiment went very poorly, and now Rhule has his hands full. While we’ll have to wait to see what the Cornhuskers do on the field, Rhule has been doing well with recruiting, and more good news could be coming soon.

Four-star edge rusher Jayshawn Ross is now being looked at as a Nebraska lock, according to On3. Ross was believed to be a lock to end up at Oklahoma football, the Cornhuskers rival, but now he is being given an 80% chance to commit to Nebraska and just an 8% chance to commit to Oklahoma. This would be a huge a recruiting win for Matt Rhule and Nebraska football if the prediction is correct.




Jayshawn Ross is ranked as the #311 overall prospect in the 2024 class, the #24 EDGE and the #8 player in the state of Missouri. He currently attends Liberty North High School in Kansas City, MO.

Right now, Nebraska has the #21 overall recruiting class in the country and the #5 class in the Big Ten. Those rankings include USC football and UCLA football in the conference, but have yet to include Oregon football and Washington football. For not going to a bowl game since 2016, that’s an impressive class. Things seem to be trending in a positive direction for Nebraska under Rhule.

We will get our first look at the Rhule-led Cornhuskers in just a few short weeks. Nebraska opens the season on the road against Minnesota football on August 31st.

Confidence in development

Look at the 95 team:

Wistrom, Frazier, Phillips, Minter, and Green were five star locks, but that was about it. Sure, there were plenty of guys who would be four star now. But watching guys who would have been 5.5-5.7 three star guys out of HS (Anderson, Treu, Dishman, Hoebein, Tomich, Ellis, Mackovicka, Gilman, Booker, for example) dominate was really fun.

Matt Rhule

This season will not be rainbows and unicorns. It’s going to be hard. With the addition of 4 excellent Pac10 teams, every season is going to be hard. Trev hired Matt Rhule because he is a grinder. By all accounts he is an absolute scrapper. He is built to handle the adversity that is inevitable. Matt Rhule embodies what it is to be a Husker head coach. As fans we need to be steely eyed and not overreact with every setback.

OT: Is Budweiser really losing money?

There seems to be this sentiment that Bud Light is shutting their doors and having to lay off everyone.

They may be losing a couple billion, but I don't think it is "over" like a lot of you think.

I looked this up after I saw that video from Sturgis... 59 Billion in Revenue over the last 12 months is not exactly roughing it from all the protesting

Football The playbook at Nebraska can be "overwhelming" but practice makes perfect

“It’s kind of challenging. It’s kind of an NFL-style offense. Lotta concepts. A lot of formations and terms."

“It’s hard like any playbook is at first."

“As a freshman coming in I think it can be overwhelming at times, but it’s just repetition and practice."

Good stuff from those who talked today about Marcus Satterfield's playbook, which the true freshmen receivers are trying to pick up as the season-opener approaches. The offense needs a couple of them to help out.

Football Huskers react to Betts' departure, Satterfield doesn't see McGuire "flinch"

Garret McGuire didn't see Zavier Betts' departure coming. Neither did Jeff Sims or Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda.

“We didn’t like it, but we have to respect his decision and hope he made the best decision for himself."
