Denny ‘BBTown’ Finken Memorial Fund…(Closed)…. Thank you!!

I am starting this as a way for everyone to show their sympathy and support for Denny, aka BBTown, and his family. His family often had to tolerate him running off to meet a fellow scroller, but they also knew how much this community meant to him. He was truly a great person, and will really be missed.

Thank you to anyone who chooses to participate.

Feel free to share on the other Husker sites.

New Players

There are 13 new players (transfers, players returning after quitting) that seem to be good enough after spring practice to either start or be a member of a rotation for the team this fall.

How depressing is that. The fact that Frost left the team in such a mess that a coach could be hired at the start of December and find 13 new players (maybe more as the Freshmen develop) who are better than what we had returning for the rotation this fall.

If we had had open transfers at the end of 1994, I wonder how many transfers TO could have found who would have been good enough to unseat a projected starter on the 1995 team? Farley was the only new player who played at all in 1995.

Politics Free Zone reminder

This is just a friendly reminder that Inside Nebraska is not a place to discuss politics or anything politically adjacent. If you are wondering if something is political, not posting is probably a good idea. There are numerous places on the internet to discuss politics, this is not it.

Political posts include (but are not limited to):
  1. Mentioning political figures or candidates (including appointed political figures)
  2. Mentioning political parties or ideals (Republican, Democrat, Conservative, Liberal)
  3. Mentioning organizations / ideas that are heavily politicized (MAGA, BLM, woke, etc)
  4. Bringing up politically divisive topics, etc.

If it smells like politics, it's probably politics. Mods are (unpaid) human beings and while we all try to use the above as our guidance as to what constitute politics and try to apply the rules evenly, please remember we're doing our best to enforce the rules set out by the owners and employees of Inside Nebraska.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to myself or @Zack Carpenter or any of the moderators.

Recruiting Cross County fullback Izaac Dickey earns his shot at being a Husker

Good stuff from recent Husker walk-on fullback commit Izaac Dickey of Cross County.

“So we run a lot of blast, power, so I’m J-blocking and kick-out blocking. We also run iso and dive to the middle. Then some outside zone and tosses to our running back, or counters with the quarterback. I’ve done a lot of everything.”

Talked about his commitment, fullbacks, Matt Rhule and more.
