We're back at it tonight as Nebraska (13-9, 5-6) travels to Evanston to take on Northwestern (8-14, 1-10) in a rare Monday night showdown between the two conference foes.

The Huskers are coming off a big 71-67 win over Michigan State last Thursday at home while the Wildcats dropped their last game 74-64 to Penn State. That followed Northwestern's lone conference win over Wisconsin 70-67 on Jan. 29th. It's a favorable matchup for Nebraska as the Wildcats are only averaging 64.8 points per game including 61.2 points in Big Ten action.

Caileigh Wilson leads the Northwestern attack with 12.0 points and 5.0 rebounds per game.

I just confirmed through a source that Nebraska is hiring Kristin Coggin to lead the football program's performance nutrition department. Coggin worked as South Carolina's director of performance nutrition since 2017 and has a strong reputation. She will likely have the title "director of football performance nutrition," but I don't know her official title as of now.

Coggin will be part of the Huskers replacing Dave Ellis, who was Nebraska’s director of performance nutrition since 1994 before Matt Rhule let go of Ellis as part of an overhaul to the team's strength & conditioning and nutrition departments.

Updated info (Tuesday 9:25 a.m.): Coggin will lead the football performance nutrition program. She will not lead the entire athletic nutrition team or oversee training table as Ellis previously did.

A little more background on Coggin:

Dayton Forsythe loved his time in Lincoln. Here's a bit more on the 2024 point guard who's definitely on Nebraska's radar. Assistant coach Adam Howard has plans to watch Forsythe in-person later this season.

I just read that Rhule has hired 40 staffers to join with 10 people who will stay from the former staff. That’s over 50 people, which surprises me. How many of this staff, if any, work across sports. I would think nutrition, weight training and possibly sports science would work across all sports. What do you think?

Can anyone find the video (if one exists) of Matt Rhule addressing the Texas High School Coaches Association a couple days ago? His new Chief of Staff, Dr. Susan Elza spoke as well and wore a jacket with the N on it.

this poll will determine what is the absolute worst thing you can do as a person. the sort of thing that if caught doing in public, should lead to public flogging, stoning, or beheading. may god save any scroller that actually is a culprit of ANY of this shit.

you may vote up to 4 times. also you can write in a vote--this poll is nearly authoritative but the mods in charge do realize that people are so awful that some actions may have been overlooked.

Whatever your brand of sauce is.

my goodness.

It was mentioned In one of the articles that Rhule has mentioned that several player’s bodies were beginning to look different after the first few weeks of training.

What’s the real story behind this? Was the team poorly trained under Riley and Frost to that extent, or is this just wishful thinking?

Comparing them to our teams we in the 1990s, I look at our backs, receivers, and DBs and they seem to be in really good shape. However, our LBs always seem to look thin and undersized and our linemen seemed to be carrying a lot of bad weight.

Is this going to change?

That is a long list, Coach Rhule is hiring everyone!

I wonder how many more they will hire?

@Zack Carpenter @Greg Smith @Nate Clouse

How does a recruit's name first come up to be ranked?
Who evaluates and ranks a recruit?
How many folks do the rankings and what are their credentials?
How often are the recruits reevaluated?
What prompts a reevaluation?
What part do Rivals' camps play in this process?
What other camps do Rivals' evaluators attend?

Check out Georgia's class already for next year. holy smokes, lol

Rivals just released its first transfer portal team rankings moments ago.

Nebraska is ranked in the Top 25 with its 11-man class. Here's how the Huskers stack up nationally:

When discussing what may determine football roster size. I heard Title IX discussed years ago yet we didn’t reduce roster.

will hang up and listen, Thanks guys.. enjoy the show.

We are third for most commitments behind Arizona State and Colorado, 46 and 43 commitments respectively.

That is an insane number of new faces.

What are your thoughts on the sheer number of players we have coming in?

A lot of discussion on this site about matt training and how challenging and difficult it is, especially under Rhule’s team. Does anyone know what drills or whatever they do are involved in matt training?

Seen some awesome performances Friday and Saturday, headlined by Axelina Johansson throwing the shot 63’ 4”. Nebraska record and sits #2 in the world rankings in2023. Also set the Swedish indoor record.

Drinks on me !!!

1. Concentrate on the northeast, where almost all of the players are undervalued by the recruiting services.

2. Develop, Develop, Develop.

3. Get all of the best players from Nebraska, the Dakotas, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana every year.

Good stuff on Sunday at Pinnacle Bank Arena
