We need a Fullback, highly rated potential Fullback Transfer

Transfer Portal is opening things up for retooling a roster. Rhule says we will be using a Fullback so maybe we can get a good one. The #1 rated Fullback in the 2019 Class was Jax Dineen who went to Kansas St. KSU changed Offensive Coordinators and no longer using the Fullback position. He was 2nd Team All Big 12 in 2021. I'm expecting him to enter the Portal at some point. 5-11 260+ athletic freak. Would be a great punishing Lead Blocker plus has nimble feet and can catch passes so not 1 dimensional. He also has deep ties to Nebraska as his dad grew up in Omaha a Husker Fan and his cousin Mitch McCann was a Walk On linebacker for the Huskers. He still has grandparents, aunts, uncles.... that live in Nebraska.

We need a good Fullback, who else might we be able to get for next season?

Here the announcers say he reminds them of Husker Great Tom Rathman

Coming up at 11 a.m. on BTN+ we have the opener of the Cambria College Classic inside U.S. Bank Stadium between Nebraska (3-3-1) vs. No. 7 Vanderbilt (6-3).

School pride...

Do your kids go to the same school you went to? Do you have pride in the school your kid/s go to? Do you follow the athletic teams of the school your kid goes to?

For me the answers are; no, my kids to go to school in Lincoln. No, all Lincoln schools are the same to me. And no, I couldn't tell you anything going on in class A athletics in general.

Does anyone else find it difficult to care about/get it involved in your kids' school? I did much more with my kids' schooling when we lived in Hastings and Columbus.

OT: Stolen Valor

Long story short, I've got this guy at work who claims to have served in the marines. I myself never served but can not stand a liar, especially about military service. Asking those who served how I can find out if he did or did not. I have gathered all the info I can from the guy but every time I search, literally nothing comes up tying him to any military service. I have buttered him up with asking about rank, where he trained, ect. but when I asked about what company, division and he started to stumble and started searching hard on his phone for answers.

Football Monday Press Conference: Matt Rhule, Thomas Fidone, Chief Borders

Matt Rhule will hold a press conference Monday at 11 a.m. as a wrap up of winter strength and conditioning workouts. TE Thomas Fidone and LB Chief Borders are also expected to be available at the podium

Fidone was the captain of the winning team of Nebraska’s offseason conditioning competition. Borders was the co-leading point winner of the competition.

Defensive Line Depth

I've been thinking about the various position groupings on the team with the Spring Ball primers the site has put together.

In general, I feel like there is plenty to work with from a talent perspective in pretty much every group (yes even OL) with the exception of DL. For all the other position groups, we've got depth, we expect to have better coaching and an identity that should allow everyone to play better than we've seen to date.

However, there just don't appear to be enough big bodies on the DL that are experienced enough to compete well in the Big. if we assume that there will at least be the need for 2 big bodies to man the interior of the d-line then our depth looks something like this:

Ty Robinson / Stephon Wynn
Nutsmasher / Jeudy
Buckley / some freshmen

If we run 3 big bodies then it looks way more dire. Any injury to any of the top 4 guys and we're screwed. I think one of the most interesting story lines is how White will deal with the small number of big bodies available on the d-line.

Football Ochaun Mathis reflects on decision to pick Nebraska, experiences in Big Ten

OT: Charlie Munger on Crypto

Legendary investor Charlie Munger pulled no punches when it came to offering his latest anti-cryptocurrency views on Wednesday.

In Munger's view, traditional currencies have helped turn man "from a successful ape to a [successful] human," he said during the Daily Journal’s shareholder meeting in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Munger said claims cryptocurrencies can replace national currencies are the equivalent of saying that air can be replaced.

"It isn't even slightly stupid, it's massively stupid, and of course it's very dangerous, and of course the governments were totally wrong to permit it," Munger told CNBC's Becky Quick during a livestream of the event.

"And of course, I am not proud of my country for allowing this crap — well, I call it crypto shit. It's worthless, it's crazy, it's not good, it'll do nothing but harm, it's antisocial to allow it."

"I think the people that oppose my position are idiots," the 99-year-old Munger said when asked about his recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal calling for a ban on the asset class. "And so I don’t think there is a rational argument against my position."

OT - Randi Weingarten


Not political.

This is disturbing on 3 points:

1. The notion that TEACHERS, of all people, wouldn't understand the magnitude of unfairness to forgive only a small segment of the population's debt at the expense of everyone else, or more disturbing, they don't care and are just education grifters. They don't understand or don't care that everyone else has paid off their student debts or are in process and others have no debt because they couldn't go to college. In their world, everyone must pay for students who borrowed money for college in a small time window.

2. The idea that the leader of the teacher's union actually doesn't understand that there are levels of authority and a legal process in the USA for forgiving debt and that authority does not reside with the President. She doesn't understand that emergency authority is only valid for an actual emergency and the benefit has to be widespread, not targeted to people who might vote for you. She also thinks that it's appropriate to rant in front of the Supreme Court in some bizarre attempt to influence or threaten justices, something that should NEVER be done if we give a damn about the rule of law.

3. She seems to be the kind of person who actually believes that everything that she wants is sacrosanct and she should get what she wants, no matter how unfair or damaging it is to others, what the law says on the matter, or how much damage it will do to the country.

How the hell do we let people like this be in charge of anything? They're angry circus clowns at best.

College Football Hall of Fame new display.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Sept. 10, 2022: A day that will live in infamy for many Husker fans.

And now, Georgia Southern’s 45-42 win over Nebraska at Memorial Stadium is enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame.

In a post to Twitter on Thursday, Georgia Southern showed the new display, which features a jersey, hat, helmet and placard.

“Georgia Southern Upsets Nebraska in Lincoln,” the placard reads.




Nebraska’s disastrous game against Georgia Southern is notable for many reasons.

The Huskers’ defense gave up 642 yards of offense, the most ever allowed in Memorial Stadium.

The game also turned out to be Scott Frost’s final outing as Nebraska’s head coach. He was fired less than 24 hours later.

Husker fans who visit the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta may now be reminded of that fateful September game.
