Anyone else feel like time has been speeding up and moving faster and faster?
is it just my old age? (be kind with any replies here please)
is it that i'm busy?
i dunno. i've always been busy in my life.
it just feels more and more like i'm in a video game these last few years.

Trash gonna trash......

One of my buddies who played up for UW and is still active in the program said there is alot really loud whispers that a few very surprising players (unexpected) will not be suiting up and give the opportunity to step aside from the program and enter the transfer portal. He thinks Allen is one of them. Clearly something is wrong up there.......nothing that a dose of HH and Sims cant fix....

Looking very possible according to the local weather hacks! Could make what is sure to be an already ugly game, even uglier........

Done for the season with a wrist injury.

Their biggest mistake was taking Colorado. They should have taken Washington State or Oregon State instead.

Big one today for the Huskers. First game away from PBA and against a power conference opponent.

Tip is at 3 p.m. and it’ll be on Peacock.

I’m still on the road traveling for Nebraska-Maryland tomorrow, so I won’t be able to provide live updates tonight. I’ll try and drop an update ITT when I’m able.

GOAT level HC with a career of battles won & lost in the highest & hottest of fires ... driven to improve beyond even past Hall of Fame level in order to max out the resources & X & 0's & training & recruiting advantages needed to push past a tier of top level competition that themselves are operating near yearly championship level (Badgers/Stanford/rapidly improving SEC top end teams/etc.)

Freshmen QB / Setter that appear to be the total & complete real deal ...

Skill / Scoring weapons again built around super duper star freshmen (LP / Harper Murray) & still young & growing supporting players (but among their own ranks themselves Olympic / All American 1st team level in Beeson & Alleck).

Defensive wizardy led by genius level secondary/back end players (Mike Brown / Lexi Rodriguez)

Coaching Staff built to maximize what will be a roster that continues to add top-3 level recruiting classes/transfers to the roster even as this unit can & may return in its entirety.

The team played at near peak competitive Nirvana tonight - the way the Husker FB team used to so beautifully and aggressively & smoothly dominate foes in such fashion as to have the opponent completely defeated mentally before the whistle ever blew.

Going to be a special next handful of years ... and NO matter the case, Cook is leaving the program at this very, very APEX - GOAT level & we will transition to a HC that is totally & completely ready for such a task.

It's just a blessing to get to see the man coach the ladies, much like TO

With signs pointing to Chubba getting the start this weekend, I can't help but draw comparisons to Taylor Martinez. Chubba is a surprisingly good athlete with severely underrated speed and below average arm. How much will his groin injury detract from the aforementioned speed? We're not sure. But he has wheels. Unlike Taylor, he's got pretty good lateral quickness as well. In our QB room Haarberg is a straight-line bruiser, and Chubba is the shifty, make-a-man-miss-in-a-phone-booth kind of runner. That seems to have been forgotten by a lot of folks who haven't seen him much. Some evidence of this:

Look at him fly at 0:31

Made an OU defender absolutely whiff here:

He averaged 11.0 ypc against Maryland and 7.8 ypc against Michigan in significant playing time in 2022.

The problem is he can't throw out of his shadow. A career 50% passer, mostly in mop-up time (worse than that when he's been called on to start), with a negative TD:INT ratio. Taylor Martinez also never set the world on fire with his arm... but he could hit wide open receivers. Luckily for him, we had guys that could fly - Kyler Reed, Niles Paul (Those two alone accounted for 2/3 of the passing yards in T-Magic's famous Oklahoma State game), Kenny Bell, Jamal Turner, Quincy Enunwa, Jordan Westerkamp. For Chubba... we don't have the experience, but we've still got some burners. In the long run, you can tell Satt wants a multi-option passing offense - lots of reads, lots of decision making from the quarterback. But this roster and this QB room just don't facilitate that.

Big picture: If we can run plays that get our speed in one-on-ones, then all we need is a QB that can hit a few of those throws to open receivers while keeping the defense honest by being a legitimate running threat. Sprinkle in a heavy dose of Johnson to limit the wear and tear on the QB and that's our recipe for 24 points a game (which, realistically is the level the offense has performed at this year without the turnovers). Ground and pound and just hit a few big ones. Burn clock, capitalize on the 3-5 big play opportunities per game, and limit the number of possessions. If we can stick to that plan, no matter how painful it may be, then we will win the game if we just don't turn the ball over. That has been true for every game except (the Cheatagain Stoleverines) this year. If Chubba can channel Martinez's 2011 PSU statline (13-26 143 yds, 0 TD, 0 INT / 18 Att, 56 Yds, 0 TD, 0 Fum / 17-14 Win) then that will be good enough to win Saturday. I think he's got that in him.

At least we didn't get blanked.

I believe I may have shared this some time ago. Regardless, it’s worth another read. Just might be an important blessing to someone on this board.
If it serves you, fantastic. If not, that’s ok too.

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.
am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”

It seems to be a battle of offense vs defense.
Hoibergs team is more physical and plays better defense but Miles team had dudes who could score buckets.

S-E-M takes home first ever football title over Hay Springs 21-20.

Actually a defensive battle for a 6 man game.

Nebraska up 1 nil at the break or half (whatever you call it in soccer.)

Weird timing on the firing considering most of the coaches they will want to pursue will be coaching deep into bowl season. Who do you think is the next coach there?

FYI... Poll Choices are from TAMU Rivals hotboard
