Basketball Huskers searching for "killer instinct" in embarrassing loss to Minnesota

That was bad.

“We gotta find a killer instinct,” Fred Hoiberg said after the Minnesota loss. “We gotta be able to stomp on a team when they’re down, and we let them right back in it.”

Football Marik: Five portal QBs I’m eyeing as Huskers seek new blood on open market

Morning. Today the transfer portal officially opens.

Nebraska’s QB room could use some new blood. Here are five early names I’m eyeing and could see as potential fits:

(These names will get old in a hurry with all the news QBs entering today.)

New Portal

We lost another one by the name of Dash. I'll try to breakdown the instant impact of his departure..
*None
"I joined this site in October of 2002"
* I'm very old.
"and up until the last year or so it was always a great place to be."
* No one hurt my feelings
"There are scores of really awesome members"
* An attempt at winning over the audience through compliments
", and though we didn't always agree"
*With me
", we engaged in vigorous debate and walked away with mutual respect "generally" intact."
*Unless you disagreed with me
"The new leadership on the board has ostensibly pushed me away."
*A fancy word that some assistant coach/Colts fan hurt my feelings
"While my typical response to such things is to push back and fight"
*Kick, scream and throw a fit
", I find there are better options for me elsewhere."
*A safe space where no one disagrees with me
"I know several of you will respond to this with snarkey comments and good riddance and that's cool."
*A way to downplay anyone who disagrees with me
"But I know some will take it seriously and those are the posters I will miss..."
* All three of you
"so with all of that said farewell both friends and foes...."
* A desperate attempt at sounding balanced and reasonable
"and ALWAYS GO BIG BIG RED."
* Another last ditch attempt to fit in after isolating myself
