Who am I missing?

Lots of good stuff here…telling stuff from Trev as well:

We had to go find some guy who grew up in New York City to be an authentic Nebraskan," Athletic director Trev Alberts said with a chuckle. "This place needs to get back to being Nebraska, which at its best has a general unity and sense of purpose surrounding the program."


GBR!

#1) Continuous variable transmission? Any concerns? Looking at a new car and this is the tranny

#2) Vintage cars. Generally speaking do they appreciate over time? This would be an investment type of deal. I understand it's all about what you pay for it. Haven't talked any $$ yet. I'm sure this gent has done his homework and knows what it's worth but he also strikes me as very reasonable. It's a 1940 Buick. Only seen it once a year ago. Been in their family since it was purchased new and looks like it's been inside for most of that time. He has had the engine and transmission rebuilt. As far as I know it's all original. Not sure about the paint, though. Looks pretty mint to me but I have no idea what to look for.

As you can tell, I'm not a car guy. I wouldn't mind buying it and putting it in a garage for 20 years if there is some money to be made. Any suggestions/advice/tips/etc would be appreciated. TIA

1941 - Joe DiMaggio got a hit in his 45th consecutive game.

1994 - Colombian soccer player Andres Escobar was shot to death in Medellin. 10 days earlier he had accidentally scored a goal against his own team in World Cup competition.

2002 - A record 62 home runs were hit in 16 major league baseball games.

2008 - A settlement is reached allowing former NBA franchise Seattle Supersonics to move to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; the team's new owner, Clay Bennett, agrees to pay the city of Seattle $45 million to wriggle out of the last two years of the KeyArena lease.

Is it my imagination or does it appear that new recruits amount to about 50-75% of the incoming class?

When they were hired I thought we would pull a lot of talent from Florida. The staff had a lot of great connections in Florida, but we haven't signed hardly anybody let alone any elite talent.

2018
Dominick Watt - Didn't make it
Miles Jones - High hopes this year
CJ Smith - Left
Justin McGriff - Left
Braxton Clark - RFr might contribute some time
Willie Canty - Didn't make it

2019
Nobody

2020
Tamon Lynum - 5.6, 3 star DB

Looks like we are out of the picture with any 4 star from Florida. Maybe a slim chance with XZavier Henderson, Ladarius Tennison, or Arian Smith, but I haven't heard any recruiting information about any of them.

Very surprised this staff is doing so poor in Florida with their history and numerous connections that they have down there. Is there any reason for the lack of recruits from Florida?

What's does this mean for Nebraska? Seriously, is he a Miami lock or are we still in it with him?

The veteran LHP will return to Lincoln for his sixth season of college baseball next spring. Perry should prove valuable once again as a lefty out of the bullpen and provide leadership to a team with plenty of new names to the 2024 roster.

Perry was 1-1 with a 5.46 ERA in 31.1 IP this past season. He struck out 29 batters compared to 11 walks.

Shohei Ohtani hits Angels record 14th homer in June in loss to White Sox

If I'm starting a team, Ohtani has to be an easy first pick. How does one man do so much? Insane.

LB John Bullock made his first comments since being put on scholarship, recounts his first impressions of Tony White’s defense and how it fits his “fly around” style:

And what are y’all drinking?

And may go down as greatest ever. Unbelievable what he does. WBC was great. Wish U.S. won but Japan was excellent.

I would think so, because they would still have Nebraska and they have USC coming in next year, so I would say yes, absolutely.

Contrast that with the Big 12. They will lose Texas and Oklahoma, next year but they will still remain a Power 5 conference despite having no blue bloods. For those who bring up TCU beating Michigan, in order for TCU to get their shot at Michigan, they had to go thru Oklahoma and Texas to get there. However, starting in 2024, that won't be the case.

We're at 91 now so we'll have to lose 6 to get to 85 for this fall. We only have 10 seniors, so as of now, we'll have to lose 12 underclassmen. If we get say 10 more from HS, portal, JUCO, a total of 22 will have to go. Taking into account a few that came this year that will leave, Rhule will have flipped 75% of the roster in one year. He's doing it differently, but he's getting into PRIME territory.

Just how bad was our roster at the start of 2022?!!!
