when it is the result of scheme, technique and attitude vs. raw emotion that has a distinct ebb and flow. GBR!

If tickets really are this cheap head to Lincoln and take the family.

but I really hope this is the type of game we get to see a lot of the second string the second half. One it lets the starters be a little more rested before a big game, but more importantly getting the young guys live reps.

0hio looks like a win over ISU. Wake losing to Old Dominion. KSU in a good fight with Mizzou. B.C. could still pull it out against FSU. Northern Illinois beat them ? Hmmm.

Rhule said this.

1. RJ's injury is much more serious than your standard separated shoulder.

2. Rhule still doesn't know he's a junior and he's listed as a junior on the roster.

Tulsa @ N. Illinois
First six possessions - PUNT, DOWNS, INT, MISSED FG, FUMBLE, SAFETY

Rutgers @ Michigan
Game tied but Michigan seems to be waking up.

Tonight it’s Basil Hayden…what y’all drinking?

My apologies if I'm not allowed to post this. Stumbled across an analysis of Kewan Lacy by some guys that look like the Wayne's World of Texas recruiting. They think highly of him in Texas.

Coming home next week.

It was my birthday meal! Thoughts?

After finishing the non-conference schedule undefeated for just the second time since 2008, the No. 2 Nebraska Volleyball team (9-0) hosts conference foe No. 21 Ohio State (3-6) for its Big Ten opener on this late Friday at the Devaney Center. Not a huge fan of the Big Ten making this an 8 p.m. first serve.

Anyway, it's a big weekend for the Huskers who jumped up two spots to No. 2 in the latest AVCA Coaches Poll. NU is coming off quite an impressive week to finish out the non-conference slate with a pair of wins over No. 4 Stanford and No. 21 Kentucky. After missing the Sunday match against the Wildcats, both Lindsay Krause and Laney Choboy are expected to be back in the lineup.

Despite the brutal 3-6 record, this is still a solid Buckeye team, but nothing compared to the past couple of seasons. OSU had a huge roster crunch over the offseason with a five-person freshman class with casualties including the Big Ten Defensive and Setter of the Year in Kylie Murr and Mac Podraza. Murr went to Minnesota — who Nebraska plays on Sunday — while Podraza went to Penn State. Here is the weekend preview I released this morning ICYMI:


Plus, my feature on head coach John Cook's Tuesday press conference:


And this week's Players' Corner that released Wednesday night:

Coach Rhule Press Conference Notes: -Rahmir Johnson dislocated his shoulder, done for the year -Gabe Ervin dislocated his hip, done for the year -Dwight Bootle shoulder injury, will redshirt, done for the year -After Anthony Grant, Emmett Johnson is ready to play -Quinton Ives will have to step up too -Emmett is similar to Rahmir, 3rd down back -Anthony Grant has worked on protecting the ball, which is why he played a lot vs NIU -it’s Anthony Grant’s show now -always going to play the guy that gives the best chance to win, talking about QB’s -gives props to NIU DL once again -likes how FB’s Lindenmeyer and Liebentritt came in and stepped up -likes Fidone’s block on Billy Kemp’s TD -Coach Osborne talks about 1.5 knockdowns per play, we had a lot of them -Phalen Sanford is an EXCELLENT special teams player, runs a 4.3 40 -special teams has been good and bad, haven’t had enough of the “wow” plays -Expect Cam Lenhardt to have a chance to practice TOMORROW -offensively LA Tech will be a challenge, doesn’t seem concerned about the defense -LA Tech plays man and pressure on defense -a lot can be better on defense. Coach Tony and Coach Coop are not result based, they’re process based -not taking the ball away enough, “as hard as we’re hitting people, we gotta punch the ball out” -Teddy Prochazka is getting closer and closer -guys are accelerating because they’re getting game reps -a lot of the players had belief before they won, even more belief after the win -Coach Rhule’s experience at memorial stadium was “unlike any experience he’s ever had” -great for recruiting -Heinrich Haarberg has a connection Fidone -Heinrich is respected by his teamates -Coach Rhule never will beg anyone to stay, but will try and explain the vision to players -Called Jimari Butler when he entered the portal and said “what are you doing, of course we think you’re a good player” -Fleeks can do anything he wants if he puts his mind to it -Thomas Fidone is a way different player than he was weeks ago -wants the younger guys to watch film with the older guys -Marques Buford started individual drills yesterday, in a perfect world, would love for him to play the last four games and redshirt -grass is better than turf -Coach Rhule and Coach Cook went to the rodeo together #GBR

Next Nebraska Game - Sunday, September 24
Nebraska at Penn State (12:00 PM - BTN+)

I don't see the need to play teams like Tennessee, Oklahoma and even Cincinnati in the coming years. The schedule will be brutal enough with the new additions of Washington, Oregon, USC and UCLA. Yes Tennessee and Oklahoma are fun games to watch but adding them to our already brutal schedules is close to suicide in my opinion.

Just take a look at the 2025 schedule it is a beast and then you add Cincinnati it's a borderline suicide schedule for Nebraska who is without a stud QB and receivers to lead them. I'm O.K. doing what many of the SEC power programs do by playing warm up games against inferior competition that helps them get ready for the major battles of the SEC.

JMO that I feel have strong feelings about if we are to return to an elite status in college football. Please Trev Alberts, please stop with the murderous scheduling in the future just follow the model of the major SEC schools have adopted. jmo

so we went to the shelter and adopted a Belgian Malinois / Black Mouthed Cur mix. Yes - we know what we are getting into with this mixed breed but wife is home all day and an experienced dog handler.
She is 4 months old and very obedient and smart. She tries very hard to please and doesn't bark or chew (yet - the dog that is - not my wife) We're on an acre and a half with one full acre fenced in.
Will post pictures when I get a chance.

What if Daniel Jones was on the Niners? I’ve always liked his skill set.
