Why would they keep Nick Mullins and expose Hall to the waive wire? Hall looks like the light bulb has gone on for him and FAR outplayed Mullins in the preseason. The Vikings GM is a moron. Now they've signed Rypien. They ditched a young mobile QB with a big arm for 2 vets who can't play. Barf. Add that to them ditching Cine who had a great preseason finally. Time to root for somebody else.

In-laws will be in Omaha next month and want a great steak. What would you gents recommend. Boiler Room, V.Mertz, Ms pub, Drover, Mahogany, or any other? Appreciate the feedback.

Tough one, for obvious reasons. Hate cheering for sCUm but a win is obviously in our best interest so I guess give me sCUm. Who ya got?

I predict an inside run call - for a positive gain of some kind



that ...


or a 25 yard strike and the crowd loses it's mind as Raiola is clearly all that we could have hoped

So I was not able to watch the game last night, what were you're impressions of the Buffs?
From the stats it must have been a bit of a track meet?

Also, I understand there was some poor clock management at the end of the game for the Buffs, but Shedeur going deep instead of keeping the clock running
was Shedeur being such a good teammate by helping Webster get a big play!

Shedeur is such a good teammate

Quick look at Nebraska's newest roster addition, tight end Mac Markway:

What do you guys have?

Potentially help NU's case with Terry?

Just like Randy Quaid in Independence Day ... Bold Predictions for Game Week are baaaaaack!

Here's how @Steve Marik, @TimVerghese and myself see things playing out for the 'Skers on Saturday.

“Today is National College Colors Day! So put on your scarlet and cream Nebraska gear and rep the ‘Skers all day.”

Disclaimer: Not sure how popular “National College Colors Day” is so…observe this holiday at your own risk lol

“Name the five QBs – in order – on Nebraska football’s Top 5 single-season passing yards leaderboard.”

I'm not looking for the exact yardage totals or even the year in which they did it. If you know either the total or both, even better! But just looking for the five QBs and the order 1-5.

In addition to our Bold Predictions from Thursday, we are back with our staff’s season-long college football picks ATS (against the spread) + final score predictions for Nebraska-UTEP!

@jansencoburn beat me, @Steve Marik and our good ole friend @Greg Smith last season to take home the belt. @TimVerghese gets his first crack at it this year.

Saturday - August 31

CLASS A
Omaha Creighton Prep (0-0) at DeSmet Jesuit (Missouri) (0-0)

Former LSU tight end Mac Markway looks to be joining Nebraska's program after one year with the Tigers. He lists himself as "tight end at Nebraska" in his Twitter/X bio and seems to be on campus right now. The former St. Louis (Mo.) De Smet four-star left LSU after just one season in August. He was a Rivals250 prospect and a top-10 tight end coming out in the 2023 cycle. He didn't enter the portal until earlier this month so the assumption as of now is he won't be able to join the team until the portal window opens in December.

Fascinating development just days out from the season opener

Tarheels are giving them all they can handle.

Cannot wait to see this one ... This is NOT the NDSU of old but still should be a fun game.

I think there are 40!? games tonight ... 4 ranked teams ...

East Lake has made huge restorations since last year. This video amazed me in what has happened since last October. Even where things were at in May! Login to view embedded media

26 College Programs Chosen for Bud Light Special Edition Cans

Bud Light throwing serious shade at the Cornhuskers.

Wyoming, NDSU, SDSU, ECU, Fresno St, Ga Southern, just a few of the head scratchers chosen over Nebraska…..

Bud Light even chose Nebraska’s opening opponent in UTEP over the Cornhuskers to be on their cans….

Rutgers looking like a national title contender against Howard.

Not very impressive at ho.e against Howard so far. Still a long ways to go though.
