GBR!

According to the Board of Regents' meeting agenda for next Friday includes approving the naming of the John Cook Arena at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.

According to the agenda: "Introduce the naming of the John Cook Arena at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The purpose of the naming would be in recognition of legendary head coach John Cook. Introducing the naming would also include a bronze statue outside of the area, updated way finding signage, and naming inside the arena. Estimated cost of the project is $400,000."

University system president Jeffrey Gold has recommended approval.

What do you guys think of this?

1 Run allowed through 20 innings so far. Fastball sitting around 96, he is a workhorse. Bolt's best move so far was getting him to be a relief pitcher. Wish we could use him and Cade on the team right about now..

Seemed pretty tame.

I imagine there were a lot of Coaches at Clinic on Friday/Saturday and then Practice on Saturday; Anyone have some thoughts? What did you think?

OC Dana Holgorsen is scheduled to talk today sometime after practice ends, around 11:30 a.m. Also talking is RBs coach E.J. Barthel.

I'll provide any notable updates from the two coaches, and I'll post the livestream link when the team's X account posts it.

Rolling out the press conference videos from Thursday's interviews w/ Holgorsen, Barthel, Nyziah Hunter + Janiran Bonner:

Good stuff from Dana Holgorsen today.

Here's reaction to three of his quotes that caught my ear:

Fast-rising target is high on Nebraska, Miami, Texas, USC and more. Nebraska offered in January and he's said the Huskers and Hurricanes have the early lead to this point. Nebraska is already scheduled to get him back for an OV in June, but he's making his first trip this weekend.

Holgorsen and Hunter himself discuss how the former Cal starting WR impacts Nebraska's offense, Hunter discusses his connection with Dylan Raiola from the minute that "mini Patrick Mahomes" texted him in December, and Holgorsen says Hunter is showcasing "why we recruited him."

10 cars parked on the street
3 large dogs that bark, all the time
hawt wife that knows it and drives all the men crazy and the other wives hate her

Where is he going to fit in? Will he reach his potential at Nebraska, or will he be caught in the shuffle and never quite get there at TE?
