Spencer Rattler did an interview stating the offense last year was too complicated for the team. Lots of SC fans were glad to see o-coordinator change and mentioned it was a 1 loss team had the offense not been so complicated. Hoping Sims doesn’t feel this way and we can see players make plays like Manziel

Before the season starts is there any way the mods can get a handle on this problem?
maybe if you see a iowa troll using different names from the same IP that could, be used at a way to ban them for an appropriate period of time.
In some cases maybe for a year or two..

He is 4th on depth chart, so will probably go to taxi squad, but he looked poised. Good luck to Adrian.

Matt Rhule has steadily increased the level of opinion he has given us when commenting on the status of the former superstar recruit. On Saturday, Rhule took it up a big notch by giving the strongest opinion he has shared yet when commenting on Gilbert’s situation.

Included in the story link below are Rhule's comments from today, plus his most recent significant comments on Gilbert from April and July.


STORY LINK:

Some more on the new single-digit jersey tradition that Matt Rhule has started at Nebraska with additional thoughts from Rhule and Rob Dvoracek — who has already had a front-row seat for this tradition six times as a player and coach under Rhule.

Included are quotes on all four who have earned one of those numbers so far — plus Ethan Piper, who was also recognized by his teammates even though he won’t be eligible to wear a single digit.

“I’ve never seen an offensive lineman get as many (votes) as Ethan Piper got from so many guys across the team.”


STORY LINK:

At least he had the common sense to bet the under.

A big time talent, no debate about it.

A post yesterday by an insider stated that Betts quit, sean and team quickly deleted the post saying it wasn't true. Today, the news drops, people call him out and the site, including myself and now banned. Called him out on twitter, now blocked. That dude is a MENTAL midget. If you have a damn insider on your board you don't silence them, I suppose Sean and co are just a plant for the University.


Thank you team here for open discussion, and being able to take some heat as well and not ban people.

All Betts are off.

Curious if anyone did them back in the day? If so what did you do? Were the gains awesome?

SIAP

So, back to the drawing board.

But, I will ask the question that may or may not be on your minds.

When can we expect to see the revamped schedule for football next year and with the additions of Washington and Oregon? What changes to what was the new structure do folks see coming with the added schools?

Just curious if anyone has played in the World Series Of Poker Main Event?

Did you get there through a satellite game? Does the blind structure make Day 1 go super fast, ie did you feel you had to be aggressive early to keep the blinds from attacking stack?

Just curious on your experience.

Have 4 diviisions of 6 teams.
West would be Oregon, Washington, UCLA and USC. Add Stanford and Cal although Arizona and ASU would have been preferable for gaining huge television market.
Central would be NEB, IA, MN, WISC, NW and IL.
North would be MSU, MICH, Purdue, IN, OSU and PSU.
East would be Rutgers, Mary, and add VA, NC, CLEM, and FSU.
This assuming ND never wants to join.

Here are the highlights from Tony White's time at the podium today. Good stuff from him as always, and for those curious about the Blackshirts, there was an update...sort of.

The latest episode of the Recruiting Blitz is here! @jansencoburn and I hit some hot topics right now including:

>> Reaction to Nebraska landing four-star OL Preston Taumua.

>> How many spots are left for this cycle?

>> Overall Impressions of Nebraska's recruiting class.

>> Who are the remaining priority targets for the Huskers?

Hit the link for video and audio versions of the pod.

Can you go to the "Go Big Construction Live Feed" to watch the outdoor practices? Probably won't be able to hear and see great but can watch a little of whats going on, right??..or will they turn off the live feed during practice time?
