Must be nice to have Phil on board with open check book. I just looked at their class. I dont think I've ever seen this before. They only have 1 3 star lol. Everyoen else is 4 and 5 stars.

Come on Warren Buffett. Hook it up for us.

One thing we tend to overlook is other schools tampering with our players, makes me wonder if players like pricewell and ej are leaving because a school has been after them for a while offering them a better financial package, similar to Hausmann going to Michigan

Nebraska running back signee Conor Booth was named the Nebraska Gatorade Player of the Year after rushing for 2,956 yards and 50 touchdowns as a senior. He will graduate as the Class C2 record-holder for career touchdowns and tied for the single-game TD mark with eight.

Nebraska defensive line signee Kade Pietrzak was named North Dakota Gatorade Player of the Year after recording 54 tackles including 25 for a loss, 32 quarterback hurries and five sacks this past season, leading the Mustangs (10-2) to the Class AAA state title game.

Thinking of getting take out for the VB match, but then I thought making a homemade pizza sounded ideal ... maybe I'm just hungry because I skipped lunch ... any and all ideas are welcome

... but I guess it was inevitable....

Best of luck, young man...

When the players can basically leave whenever they want, does it really matter?

Well, it's the final weekend of picks for the 2024 season. I'm in first place currently, and I have a feeling I'm on the brink of an awesome, epic, total collapse:

This poll isn't about who the best players are, it is simply as a fan, which players do you enjoy watching the most. It could be due to their defensive effort, their shooting skills, their passing skills, their overall hustle, the way they contribute off the bench, whatever reason... just who do you enjoy watching. You can vote up to 5 players

“How many Nebraska football players have won the Outland Trophy? Nebraska owns more winners of the award – given annually to the top offensive lineman in college football – than any other school in the country.”

=================================

Answer:

9 total from 8 different players (Dave Rimington was a 2x winner in 1981 and 1982)

Grading on the hardest national scale, we went big and landed 5 TRUE blue chippers and several just behind them

Got a bad ass future QB who can truly sling it

Got a program changing RB and several at the WR spot whose talents will IMMEDIATELY upgrade that side of the ball

Terry would've made it a full A+ day, but TONS of momentum to build on now as we analyze and fight our way through this portal system

Who are we gonna have once Rhamir, Emmett, and Ervin Jr. leave? Outside of Dowdell, I can't bring a name to my head.

White was announced yesterday: https://seminoles.com/news/2024/12/...ate-hires-tony-white-as-defensive-coordinator

Knighton today: https://seminoles.com/news/2024/12/6/football-terrance-knighton-hired-to-coach-fsus-defensive-line

I'm surprised they fired him. He looked pretty good against Tony White.

Is it because our secondary had issues this year?

My initital take is he was handled a bunch of guys who weren't very good, especially with Hill out most of the year.

Is it fair to judge his DC's credentails on just that?

Of course, Rhule could hire the best coach in the country and people here would be trashing the new hire form the get go.
