Was an awesome movie. Probably biased since I lived in Chicago during the Michael era but what a great story

i'll post a video later. possibly two (longer and shorter version of same thing).

most here likely will not watch at all. and that is fine.
some may give it/them a few minutes of their time. and that's ok too.
but the chosen few who watch the entire thing, will likely benefit greatly in multiple ways. certainly physically. probably more than that too.

stay tuned . . .

(ok ok, it's raining outside. i can't go to hit balls right now so i'm a tad bored. and, this really is fantastic. just likely won't be of interest to most. but like i said, for a few . . . )

@Zack Carpenter

How about an article on the T&F Team. B1G championships and a preview of NCAAs, and how the NCAA bids work? Not much football or basketball news right now.

I was looking at the current roster and totally forgot about this kid. When he committed I thought it was a great get.

Dude was a baller in KC in 6A in 3 different sports and won his 2021 football state title.

Is he just going to focus on baseball? I thought this kid could be a legit QB someday.

Hudl Senior Film



BIO from Huskers.com:

On the gridiron, Pauley was an all-state quarterback. He completed 57 percent of his passes while throwing for 5,173 yards and 54 touchdowns in his career, according to MaxPreps. Pauley also rushed for 2,326 yards and 38 touchdowns for the Huskies. He accumulated nearly 7,500 yards of total offense in his high school career with 88 total touchdowns.

As a senior, Pauley threw for 1,945 yards, rushed for 1,214 yards and accounted for 45 total touchdowns to help Blue Valley Northwest to a 12-1 record and the school's first state title. For his efforts, Pauley won the 2021 Thomas A. Simone Award, presented to the best high school football player in Kansas City. Pauley had 1,369 passing yards, 571 rushing yards and 25 total touchdowns as a junior. In his first season as the Huskies' starting quarterback, Pauley passed for 1,861 yards, rushed for 532 yards and accounted for 22 total touchdowns as a sophomore.

On the baseball diamond, Pauley hit .320 with eight home runs as a junior for Blue Valley Northwest. He was part of the Huskies program that won a regional championship in 2018. Pauley was ranked as the No. 1 catcher in Kansas by Perfect Game. He was also part of Northwest's 6A state championship basketball team in 2018, a regional title in 2019 and a sectional title in 2020.

Pauley was a three-star football recruit ranked among the top 15 prospects in the state of Kansas. He signed his National Letter of Intent with the Nebraska baseball program, spurning multiple football scholarship offers.

Upgraded my living situation and I have a large corner lot now. So, the $200 mower I bought at Walmart 13 years ago isn't getting the job done anymore and am looking at mowers at least 28 inches wide. Also, I have never needed a trimmer so not really sure what I'm looking for. Are most all of them electric now?

Based strictly using online research I think I'm leaning toward this one. Anyone have any experience with these?
(Also, not really interested in storing a rider, I have a 7 foot-tall retaining wall in my backyard and don't want to die mowing my lawn.)

I am linking an article that has an instagram video embedded in it. It shows what they describe as a dustnado. About 15 years ago I was playing in a slow pitch tournament here in Lincoln and saw this type of occurrence as well. it started around the backstop fence and blew away all the waiver sheets we had to sign. All of us just stood there for about 5 minutes watching those papers disappear into the sky.

Billy Kemp IV seems like the best bet in the WR group for a productive season. Will Marcus Washington take the next step and emerge? Who are the "swing" players and who's the main fall breakout candidate?

The Blackshirt Breakdown is back, and this time around @Foremanjay5655 and I are taking a look at Willis McGahee IV's film. McGahee committed to the Huskers' 2024 class the morning of the Red-White spring game.

Grizzle’s suspend him again after a video of him waiving a gun surfaced.
How fkn dumb is this kid ?

Mark my words - Coach Prime at Colorado will not work out

He may be getting them to be occasionally bowl eligible - but that is best case scenario

So many factors involved - But long story short - We will look back at all the content being put out there of him and his comments right now in a few years and cringe

Side note: why is it that not a single person on national TV covering sports has mentioned a single doubt over the future of Colorado football program? Reminds me so much of when we hired Scott Frost.

Strong resemblance to Roy Orbison. What say you.
Husker 3 zip on Ped state. GBR!!!

If Dylan goes to UGA it's not because his Dad.

"Sleeping giant"

So someone help me understand how the SEC shit don't stink?

If they are so good and the Big 10 is so bad... Why does 37-12 Iowa have a win over #2 LSU and Nebraska have a win over #5 Vanderbilt. The RPI is complete bull shit in baseball.

Their losses don't matter I guess?

I’m excited to see his guys show up

A. Indiana

Indiana is 7-2 and has already beaten OSU 3-0, PSU 2-1 and Iowa 2-1

They have five opponents left,
@ Illinois (3-6) who could muster just one win each v us and Michigan and who lost their NW series.
Maryland, toughest opponent left but Indiana will be home for this series.
@ Northwestern
Purdue
@ MSU

I'm not say they have a lock but they do have a big lead and not many losses left on their schedule. Nice schedule, Hoosiers. No Nebraska, no Michigan, no Rutgers.

I know, I know, way too freakin' early to be crowning a champ but, I'm saying, Indiana has jumped out to a sizable lead and not a whole lot of obstacles left.
