Thought they did a good job... The thing that caught my attention was that there was not one mention of the Receivers/Tight Ends other than it was a weak point. Arik is a beast as is Fidone.. Wideouts are young but fast. Great transfer portal leader in the slot. Yet not one mention. Utilization of the tight ends over the middle could be very big..

Roster updates from Matt Rhule this morning:

>>> Teddy Prochazka is out again. Team believes he'll be back for Minnesota. Turner Corcoran is the No. 1 left tackle with true freshman Gunnar Gottula the main one repping behind Corcoran.

>>> Marcus Washington is getting his cast removed Monday and should be "full go" for Monday's practice.

>>> No long-term injuries expected to linger into the season and affect the team right now other than Brodie Tagaloa's season-ending injury after his car accident in July.

Couple predictions to Neb, visited for practice the other day

Login to view embedded media

Let me tell you……he was a heck of a football player

I’m back visiting family this week and decided to go see the new building and get a peek of the new practice field being put in. I was able to get inside and see the new field. The field runs perpendicular to the grass fields on the south side and is a 50 yd field.

The new building looks spectacular, but is still a long way from being ready to go. It’s a good thing we’re not at home the first two weeks, because they need every day to get the area and building ready for the crowds.

For those of you that have not seen the new area, the new facility is going to be an unbelievable addition to the university. It’s hard to believe that all this money goes to something that is viewed by the public only 7 times a year. I would share photos, but I was asked not to post any photos and I will respect those wishes by the people who allowed me to view.

GBR

is this something trev should be bringing up right now....?

Now that Colorado has moved back to the little 12, it will be interesting to see who they add next. I predict that either Arizona will jump or the little 12 will add UConn.

Latest domino to fall. If we join the PAC 12 we might win it.

I believe that’s Sanford in coverage. Nice touch from Sims. Apologies if already posted.

Apoears that the BTN Nebraska stop was today but preempted by expansion news tonight. Anyone able to catch any of their coverage?

as expected

Any more news on him?
Home to lose weight?

Want to pass some info on to you

How does adding USC/UCLA/Oregon/Washington change the landscape of BiG TeN baseball?

Yeah, yea, SuperBig IllinoisFan, I know no one cares.
But for those of us who pretend to care, will those programs improve the conference?
Or will the conference drag these programs down?

Some night-time key takeaways from today's player press conference:

>>> It's Go Time for Gabe Ervin Jr.
>>> Ervin on E.J. Barthel: "He's the best coach I've had in college. I love that dude."
>>> Look to 2022 South Carolina film for how Satt could use Rahmir Johnson
>>> Johnson requested for Satt to implement a certain offensive play into his playbook – and Satt did it
>>> My conjecture: Huskers' fullback blueprint is similar to all-around usage of 49ers' Kyle Juszczyk

Wife just called to tell me we have to put our dog down.

Part of the deal when you own dogs, but fvck, it just sucks.

Alright @Brasky Pants and @Brasky_Pants explain yourselves. Why are there two of you. Conference realignment is hard enough to keep track of on a Friday afternoon without dueling screen names!

Been plenty of talk about it, especially of late. Looks like it could be happening...

2023 Husker hype

Crazy that NFL kickers are getting paid more than top shelf RBs at this point. With the physical damage one takes too, the math just isn't adding up. More carries & they know your productivity naturally goes down with each crushing blow.

One of the biggest remaining targets for the Huskers in the 2024 recruiting cycle is set to return to campus soon.

Login to view embedded media
Brix will be in Lincoln on July 30 for Nebraska's 'Cook Out' event that will see a lot of the current commits return to campus. Daniel Kaelin, Callen Barta, Ashton Murphy and Izaac Dickey have all confirmed they are attending too. That's the same event that Omaha Westside defensive back Caleb Benning will be at as confirmed by our @Steve Marik.

Brix did tell me that he plans to squeeze in unofficial visits to each of his three finalists so he will visit Oklahoma and Kansas State too.

The word right now is that Brix is genuinely torn on his decision and is no closer to picking now than he was after his official visits last month. That's why he wants to return to each campus again. Nebraska is definitely in the thick of this recruitment but it's tight.

UPDATE

Brix will be at Kansas State on the 27th and its 28th for Oklahoma. Nebraska gets the last visit.
