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.
