Huskers vs Vols

could very well be a matchup between the projected top 2 picks in the '27 draft as long as Nico is still in school (he's a RS Frosh this year)

Today in Sports History - September 19
1901 - All major league baseball games were canceled for the funeral of U.S. President William McKinley.

1949 - Ralph Kiner (Pittsburgh Pirates) became the first National League player to hit 50 home runs in two different seasons.

1984 - Pete Rose reached the 100-hit plateau for the 22nd consecutive year. He also tied the National League record for doubles with 725.

1988 - Olympic diver Greg Louganis suffered a concussion after striking his head on the diving board during the preliminary round of the 3-meter springboard diving competition at the Seoul Summer Games; Louganis would recover from the injury and win a gold medal in the event the following day.

1993 - San Diego Chargers kicker John Carney kicks six field goals in an 18-17 win over the Houston Oilers to set an NFL record with 29 consecutive field goals made.

2017 - Alex Gordon of the Kansas City Royals hits home run No. 5,694, setting a record for most cumulative home runs hit in Major League Baseball in a single season by all teams combined.

IMO I would say yes, on just about every front besides special teams.

Fast fact today:

“25 years ago, Nebraska mascot Lil’ Red captured the national championship at the NCAA National Mascot Competition.”

(Apparently, the NCAA National Mascot Competition is a real thing. The more you know…)

I know this is a long shot but I am looking for 3 tickets to Friday nights game. My wife is taking 2 of our boys. It will be my 8 year old son’s 1st game. Wife teaches so she wont be able to leave until after school. Driving from Des Moines so probably won’t get there until 6 or so. Thanks!

That would go over like a lead baloon i'd think? That sounds like a terrible idea. First thing I thought of was Texas and the Big 12. We'll see.

Just stumbled across this whilst surfing and OMFG what an incredible performance. I saw them in Omaha and also at Lollapalooza at Fiddlers Green in Denver back in the day & it’s pretty impressive these guys can still play so tight. Perry’s voice lost a step, but not much.

Just looked and I’m at post 666, so this is a get rid of bad omens post. 😉😂
And I’ll just add that after comparing Huskers last three opponents to the Orange nerds, really believe Illinois is the bottom of the 4! Their defense is junk and they don’t have a running game this year! Huskers destroy them this Friday night!

Third exec to resign since they hired the new President. Might be an alarming statement about Gold. The CFO was interim President and just hired Dannen not too many months ago. Rhule gave a pointed message in a recent conference about the leadership. I hope the regents are watching closely. Have to keep Rhule happy!

Apologies if this has been discussed already, but anyone else notice he's in the Saint's two-deep? Pretty impressive.

I'm going to preface this hypothetical by stressing that this is purely a hypothetical. It's meant as nothing more than an exercise in would you rather, and is not intended to imply how I feel things will unfold for Matt Rhule and the Huskers over the coming years. So please, dont @ me offended, I promise it's nothing more than a means to kill time as the season gets ready to kick off.

So, if you had a choice in how Matt Rhules career at Nebraska would unfold, which option are you taking.

Scenario A: Matt Rhule has a long, successful career at Nebraska spanning 15-20 years. The Huskers are back to regularly competing for conference and National titles. Rhule and the team even pull off the occasional conference crown, and get an impressive number of playoff wins under their belt over the years. But the big one always alludes him - no national titles when he finally hangs them up. But Nebraska is at least back to being respected in the CFB landscape, albeit with the criticism that they still haven't won the big one since 1997.

Scenario B: Matt Rhule comes out swinging in the 2024 season with a dark horse playoff appearance. It's then followed up in the 2025 and 2026 seasons with back-to-back National Championships. However, after this time - the Huskers suddenly experience massive problems both on the field and off. Speculation begins running rampant that Dylan Raiola - who won 2 NC's and a Heisman at Nebraska before going on to become the #1 pick in the draft and have a successful career in the NFL - was actually the driving force behind the titles. Rhule can never find that magic again, and the Huskers move on after multiple disappointing seasons in a row. Not back to Scott Frost level bad - but uncertainty once again exists for where the Huskers stand in the pecking order of CFB.


Anndd go.

Has anyone watched them this year at all? I watched a little bit of the game with KU and it seems as they have a decent WR and similar to previous years Altmeyer is going to try and run against us. Their D seems solid and to me it feels like a better version of UNI coming in. We need to be much more ready to play in this one. Seemed to play a lot of guys in the box and we might be able to get them deep with Lloyd or Barney if we can protect DR. I think this is the first game DR is going to have some legit pressure on him and we will see how he does.

Rhule is scheduled to speak following practice around 11:30 a.m. I'll provide any notable updates and the press conference video in this thread.
