What is our fascination with trying to hit him on long pass plays? Are you telling me one of the freshman WRs cannot do a better job than him? Also, on defense he is usually suspect.

The Recruiting Rundown this week focuses on the defense becoming something the Huskers can sell. Hit the link…

Recruiting Rundown: Tony White, Blackshirts quickly becoming selling point

Nebraska looks to have something to sell on the recruiting trail: Blackshirts.

The Nebraska Baseball team released its full 56-game schedule this morning. The Huskers will have 27 home games this season which includes a stretch of 11 games in 13 contests starting in early March. Nebraska didn't win enough to garner an NCAA Tournament appearance, but they'll face five opponents this season that made it in 2023. That includes Big Ten champion Maryland, Indiana, Iowa, Nicholls and Texas Tech.
NU will have a chance to establish some early wins when they go down to Texas to take part in the Shriners Children's College Showdown (Feb. 16-18) at Globe Life Field with Baylor, Texas Tech and Oklahoma.

Home non-conference series include South Alabama, Nicholls, North Dakota State, South Dakota State, New Mexico State, Kansas and Kansas State. Home conference series foes are Ohio State, Maryland, Iowa and Indiana. A tough slate.

The Huskers will face Omaha once at home on March 19 while facing Creighton three times — once at home and twice on the road. You can find the full schedule here:

Anyone on here own or regularly use a hard sided fish house trailer? I ice fish a lot , get up north 2-3 times a season if I’m lucky though, a lot of it has to do with paying for a motel which adds dollars to the trek and keeps me off the ice for night bites. Perks of my job is I get to do some personal projects and am throwing around the idea of building one. Either converting old camper or enclosed trailer to drop down. Wanting to know pros and cons of using one, my main goal would be treating it like a base camp to sleep in at night and retreat to for afternoon naps when bite slows.

SR 6’3” 295 lbs. The guy was disruptive on Saturday and can play. He will be available as a Grad transfer and would be a good pick up for NU in the offseason. Send the money man

And this folks, is how it’s done. Never bow to the mob.

The last three MNF going back to last season Damar Hamlin cardiac arrest, Aaron Rogers torn Achilles, Nick Chubb gruesome knee injury. I think I'd just sit out next week. 😳

Makes me sick to think he's just sitting at Ole Miss right now! I know he wasn't the greatest but sure would be a big upgrade to our qb room. No real point to the post other than to whine.

Good stuff from Beason and Boesiger tonight. Hit the link.

Does anyone know of a Husker sports bar in the Denver/Boulder area? Thanks in advance.

Are RBs Cooper Jewett and Isaiah Harris both no longer with the team?

I hope Rhule is smarter than that.

Not only would he get roasted by the local media, but national media would be all over it.

You asked Harburg to win and he did. You asked Sims to win two games, and he lost both. Seems to be a pretty easy decision.

Curious on everyone's thoughts.

Good stuff from Matt Rhule and his appearance on HRN tonight. Expect more tomorrow about what he said about the defense. Hit the link.

Any questions for a Staff Mailbag this Friday? We've got a few still left over from a couple of weeks ago that we can hit but throw some questions ITT if you've got them.

Five players met with Nebraska media today – one offensive player (Billy Kemp) and four from the defense (John Bullock, Ty Robinson, MJ Sherman and Jimari Butler)

Here are three of my biggest takeaways from a defense that is still looking to take more steps:

To Acuna / Ohtani debate… I still hold that Ohtani’s uniqueness makes him a smidge better when healthy but what Acuna is doing is otherworldly as well

Hate the injuries to Rahmir and Gabe. That said, I think AG goes for 200+ this Saturday and makes our running game look worlds better than it has so far. Cross our fingers he can stay healthy the rest of the way.

Talk about a gut punch...

Coach will have to get various packages together for Grant, HH and Sims to carry the ball. Maybe use Sims as a Kordell Stewart type 5-10 times game?

Yes, stupid is as stupid does so spare making fun of me...haha

Hey All- wanted to see if anyone had an update on Coleman. Has he gotten in any games yet? I was hoping to see him on a long route against NIU.
