Hanging up competing in beach volleyball.

A fantastic show as you would expect. One thing that stood out to me was how excellent all the musicians on stage with him were. Each and every one of them were top tier and performed at a high level. This is what Prince demanded of them. To be the best, he surrounded himself with the best and demanded their best- and it showed.

The Preacher has so far not surrounded himself with the best. There are clear deficiencies throughout his staff. It was on full display in our 56-7 loss to Indiana. So now it’s make-it-or-break-it time for The Peeacher. What he does or doesn’t do with his staff will ultimately decide his fate here.

it's not just the QB, it's not the offensive personnel and it's not because of injuries. this is what his offenses are

I will say a Top 12 Class is, at the moment, a FAIR expectation for this staff, our university, our football facilities, and down the line - basically, our POT of RESOURCES for recruiting SHOULD net us at least a top 12 class no matter who the coach is ... Rhule has the guts & the determination to take that top the top 8-10 I think, maybe higher ... BUT, that is NO small task - and for that #12 ROI to move up in my personal book, humbly, I think we need to sneak out a few wins against teams like Ohio State who just may be sleeping on a suddenly SUPER MOTIVATED Husker team (and defense in particular ... we shall see ...)

A few on mine:

-Callahan USC game where we get rolling and our players are dancing to Boyz II Men in pre-taped promos while going to commercials

-Wisconsin B1G Championship (or the good ol’ days as I now call them)

-Frost vs Tucker’s CO team

Is he hurt or not?

99.99% chance we lose, but we need to show up. We need to have a respectable game, maybe 35-17, something we can take into the remainder of the season as hope. At 5-3, we'll be in the same position as we were last season, and then it is ultra-critical that we get a great defensive performance and a win against UCLA and get bowl eligible. After that, anything else is just gravy for this season. Frankly, if we lose to UCLA, it's 5-7 again and we're in big trouble as a program.

We've had 4 really good to great defensive efforts and 2 really crappy ones, and that inconsistency is a mystery. A lot of what has happened on offense is predictable and as it turned out, we have again a young OL. The only solace is that Gottula and Evans seem to be better at the current stages of their career than players like Benhart and Corcoran ever were, and the young OLs we've recruited in 2024 and 2025 seem to be higher level athletes than in the past.

Barney has been a positive and hopefully Coleman can contribute starting with UCLA, but Banks and Nayor are monumental disappointments, nothing like advertised. Frankly, if I had my preference, I would go with Lloyd, Barney and Nelson getting the most WR snaps with Coleman moving in for UCLA as well as getting Haarberg more snaps at SL. Emmitt needs to be our #1 RB with DD and Rahmir filling in when needed. We also need to try to at least run the ball with some fullback/power under center.

I don't know how the program can survive a 0-6 finish and if that happens, our QB may be looking elsewhere. Another thing, if Nayor could catch a ball and be strong enough to not have a smaller DB just take it away from him, we're 6-1 now.

That’s what I had us at before the season…but to be honest had no clue how it was going to happen (predicted the IU/OSU games as losses). Suffice it to say not as what I thought but came to the same results.

This weekend is all about pride and perseverance for the rest of the season as well as attitude. Not necessarily the outcome bc we know what’s going to happen but more for the remainder of the season. Stay healthy, keep fighting for four quarters and get out of Columbus without any major injuries.

Blatantly said they were going to play good today. Almost as if he knew something. He knew he had a read on both our offense and defense. It wasn't what he said but the way he said it. It was more of a matter of fact.

funny, if true

Attention, Kmart shoppers: It's the end of an era.

The blue light is officially set to turn off once and for all at the last full-size Kmart in the U.S. According to the Associated Press, an employee confirmed that October 20 is the last day the Bridgehampton, New York, location will remain open.

So how do we remove the ‘curse’ and get back to our winning ways.

And no referencing the music group either!

Crazy how terrible they've been as a whole. Coaches and players.

Barthel hasnt recruited anybody special and isn't making what he has in that room better.

McGuire who had nothing to work with a year ago got upgraded across the board and the production is largely the same. What a terrible disappointment that group has been.

We had 3 ints and 2 fumbles. Our coach also gave Indiana short fields by going on 4th and 7, when we had not moved the ball. IMO we were not prepared to play that game. I know we can play much better. There have been other NU teams that have shit the bed before and played better after the game.
