Nebraska's tight end room picked up transfer Arik Gilbert today. Here are three thoughts on the addition of the former Georgia Bulldog and LSU Tiger:

I get it, you don't want to deal with two headaches at one time. That being said, this basketball hire has been Scott Frost level bad. How long does he let this go? I think he gives him one more year, but next year is going to be BAD! No Walker and Sam, no recruiting momentum at all.

Without Juwan Gary it’s going to be tough sliding the rest of the way..

Griesel should be available, need him and Walker to do the heavy lifting..

Does Rex continue his NFL Career. He has been the career backup RB and sometimes split receiver. He has scored 27 TD's, and a combined 3400 yards rushing and receiving. Would a team pick him up as an insurance policy for the next year. Would he keep himself available and in shape like Suh did and when the injury bug started to hit a team he could sign on and be available. Your thoughts.

I'm looking for all who purchased the botched game day experiences for either the wisconsin or Minnesota games from Adam Carriker. I am going to talk to a lawyer next week about what actions can be taken to get our money back. I've been lied to to many times over the last couple months to believe they are not deliberately trying to steal the money and not pay.

I'd like to go in with as much knowledge of the amount they are stealing from people.

Thanks

TD!! Colts. Blocked punt. Return for TD vs Queens.

Nebraska (9-9 overall, 2-5 in the Big Ten) welcomes Ohio State (10-7, 2-4) for a 6 p.m. tip inside Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Made the executive decision to cover this one from home, folks. Didn't like the idea of driving to and from PBA tonight. Tonight's game will be televised on Big Ten Network with Kevin Kugler and Shon Morris on the call.

Here's a bit of pregame reading for those interested:

Just saw my weather app. Says 8-10 inches on Wednesday.

Nice!

Here is the full release:

The Nebraska softball team named its captains for the 2023 season, Head Coach Rhonda Revelle announced on Tuesday. Seniors Courtney Wallace and Mya Felder and junior Abbie Squier will all serve as captains for the upcoming season.


"We are proud to announce our captains for the 2023 season," Revelle said. "Courtney, Mya and Abbie are ready, willing and able to be impactful leaders for the Nebraska Softball team. Each leads themselves extremely well in all aspects of their lives (we believe this is the first step in being a great leader), and we are confident that they will have the same focus as they lead the team.


"We know that they all take a lot of pride in the title while also embracing the responsibility associated with this prestigious honor. We look forward to working together and alongside them to help our team be the best we are capable of being."


Wallace returns for her fifth year with the Huskers this spring. A returning captain, the right-hander ranked third in the Big Ten in saves last season and seventh in wins. Wallace was a NFCA Third-Team All-Midwest Region selection and earned the inaugural Rawlings/NFCA Gold Glove Award for the pitching position. The Omaha, Neb., native, was also named to the Big Ten All-Defensive and All-Tournament team in 2022. A two-time Academic All-Big Ten selection and six-time Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll member, Wallace has made an impact in the classroom and the community as well. Wallace earned the Nebraska Silver Academic Medallion and the Sam Foltz 27 Hero Leadership Award. Wallace has also been named to the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team all four years of her career.


Felder enters her second season with Nebraska during the 2023 season. A NFCA First-Team All-Midwest Region selection, Felder led the team in batting average, hitting .373 on the season last year. The Fresno, Calif., native, started 50 games at first base, finishing with a .991 fielding percentage. Felder received Second-Team All-Big Ten and All-Defensive team honors as well as a spot on the Big Ten Tournament team. Felder is a two-time Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll member and was named to the Tom Osborne Citizenship team for her contributions to the local community.


A returning NFCA Second-Team All-Region selection, Squier adds veteran experience to the 2023 team. The Lincoln, Neb., native, started every game during the 2022 season in left field and finished in the top three on the team in batting average, runs, hits, doubles, slugging percentage and on-base percentage. Squier was a First-Team All-Big Ten and All-Defensive team selection. Squier is also a leader in the classroom earning Academic All-Big Ten and Big Ten Distinguished Scholar honors. She has earned the Nebraska Gold Academic Medallion and has been named to the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll every semester of her career. Squier has been recognized for her servant leadership, being named to the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team twice.

The Huskers 2023 season is set to begin at the Houston Invitational. The first game is set for Friday, Feb. 10, at 10 a.m. against Lamar.

Wallace on Being Named Captain:
"I am extremely grateful to have the opportunity to be named a captain and lead my teammates again this upcoming season. Glad I get to experience this with two new captains who's games I respect. Excited for the journey ahead of us and to get back on the field for 2023."

Felder on Being Named Captain:
"I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to lead my team this year. This opportunity means so much to me, because we have an amazing group of women with high standards. It's truly a blessing to work with Courtney and Abbie to lead such a strong group toward this year's goals. I am so excited for what this year has in store for Husker Softball."

Squier on Being Named Captain:
"It is one of the greatest privileges to wear Nebraska across my chest and an absolute honor to be a captain for the Red Team. I take great pride in being a Nebraska softball player and feel so blessed that my coaches and teammates trust me to lead our team alongside Courtney and Mya. Together, we will continue to build on the foundation that has been set for this program. I can't wait to get after it this season."

1/23 is regular deadline, but looks like they have the typical week to still make it.

I went back to see the offensive foul on Breidenbach that led to Hoibergs technical foul. I thought it was strange that the broadcast didnt show a single replay. Breidenbach literally didnt even get close to touching anybody on the opposing team. It wasnt even close. Theres no explaining that call away. I wish I could post a video. Blows my mind...

Edit: heres the video

Lee was at the Warren Academy Showcase in Omaha last Sunday scouting the local talent.

Just read this on my news feed interesting story just pasting it cause I cannot find the original story.

A 13-year-old girl led Nebraska troopers on a high-speed chase for nearly 20 minutes before authorities were able to stop the vehicle and take her and an 11-year-old passenger into custody, Nebraska State Patrol said.

Troopers spotted the Nissan Pathfinder Monday night traveling at approximately 35 miles per hour on Interstate 80 near Kearney and attempted a traffic stop, a news release stated. A spokesperson said the vehicle was traveling under the posted minimum speed limit, which prompted the stop.

The teen driver allegedly accelerated and fled troopers "at a high rate of speed," according to the release. During the pursuit, the vehicle reached speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour.

Authorities used stop sticks to slow the vehicle down. The teen allegedly exited the interstate but continued the pursuit at a slower speed.

"A short time later, the trooper was able to successfully perform a tactical vehicle intervention to bring the vehicle to a stop," Nebraska State Patrol said.

The entire chase lasted about 16 minutes.

The teen driver and the 11-year-old boy, from Colorado, were taken into custody without further incident and placed in protective custody, the agency said. Troopers searched the vehicle and located a firearm and a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, according to the news release.

The driver was cited for flight to avoid arrest, willful reckless driving, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of drug paraphernalia and numerous traffic violations, the spokesperson said.

The passenger was cited for carrying a concealed weapon and possession of drug paraphernalia.

I once asked Chuck Norris how many push-ups he could do. He said "all of them". But they're not real push-ups. It would be more accurate to call them Earth downs.

He once stopped a Sherman tank with a roundhouse kick. Made him so mad that he pissed in the gas tank. That was the moment Optimus Prime came to life. True story.

There was a time when Chuck Norris visited the Virgin Islands. Since then, the locals only refer to them as "the islands"

She's been struggling since the passing of her dad. Hopefully some time away will help and she will come back if she still has the fire.
