GBR!

Can't say I have much faith or confidence in the back ups again. Purdy is not good and HH needs alot of work in his passing. If Sims goes down it could be another long season

Will play at Liberty for head coach Jamey Chadwell.

With all this controversy about the Trans picture promoting Bud Light Beer , you have to wonder why beer companies don't jump into NIL deals with pictures of star football players on cans. Maybe it is prohibited for beer companies to get involved in NIL, But if you can sell beer in a stadium which is becoming more common then why not NIL deals for the "of age" players? You know they drink a "little bit" of beer. I don't know the NIL rules/restrictions. But I do bet a picture of a Nebraska starting QB on a beer can would sell a whole lot more beer in the state. Ha.

Big afternoon for the Huskers. Hit the link.

Some thoughts on the Huskers who have entered the transfer portal during the spring period (if more enter, I'll add to it):

After a set for each, I'd go with Reilly over Orr.

Do not hire the guy who recommended that Garrett Nelson go pro.

This one caught my eye:


If Thorne does indeed leave, look for the Spartans' starter to be redshirt freshman Katin Houser, a former 4-star in the 2022 class, or Noah Kim, a redshirt junior. Or, maybe MSU goes to the portal to pick up a QB.

Also, MSU's leading receiver last year, Keon Coleman (58 catches, 798 yards, seven touchdowns), is also in the portal.

I'm here at Haymarket Park for the series finale between Nebraska (23-16-1, 8-6) and Minnesota (12-29, 5-9) at the annual Bark at the Park promotion, but it's a windy one at Hawks Field. It was an offensive explosion for the Huskers yesterday against the Gophers as the Husker bats piled on 18 runs on 19 hits while Jace Kaminska pitched seven shutout innings while scattering five hits to help Nebraska put together its second shutout of the season in a 18-0 win.

After three bad starts, Kaminska bounced back in style as he struck out seven batters and was able to mix in three pitches. His performance has allowed the Huskers to bring in a fresh bullpen heading into the series finale. Offensively, Max Anderson broke out of a 0-for-10 slump by going 4-for-6 at the plate with two home runs and four RBI. Gabe Swansen put his name into the home run chase as he hammered his 12th home run of the season while Josh Caron smacked a three-run homer.

It was a relief to see such a performance from a Nebraska team that had dropped five of its last six heading into Saturday's contest. Friday may have been the most heartbreaking loss of the season. Making a 4-1 comeback to take a 5-4 lead, the Huskers allowed five runs in the top of the ninth inning as the Gophers won 9-7. Here's that recap:


Today it'll be LHP Will Walsh (2-1, 3.96 ERA) vs. RHP Richie Holetz (2-3, 3.35 ERA) for the series finale. A fresh bullpen will be available today for the Huskers to back up Walsh. Here's the full series preview in case you missed it.

No joke, at my son's game this morning...(high school) and the ump warned the entire crowd because someone said, "Where was that blue?".

He comes over and starts arguing with the fans (always smart lol) and the fans are just telling him to go back and call the game....then he says "First warning all of you" LMAO


Geebus man, if you're that thin skinned...maybe this isn't the job for you.

Fans are always going to argue balls and strikes. Deal with it moron.

/Endrant #dearfacebook etc

He's never had a breakout first year to begin with.... But another terrible draft for Nebraska. The roster was a joke, we have zero respect as a program. I know Rhule has done everything "right" thus far.. But my god does he have a huge hill to climb. Going to a bowl is my initial expectation.

Let's hear your teams needs and who you hope to get. Packers fan I hope to land
Mid first round I hope we can land OSU WR Jaxon Smith Njigba.
Or Notre Dame TE Michael Mayer.
I'm thinking 3rd or 4th round for Husker WR Trey Palmer.

It’s been a great week but I am saddened that one of my new favorite countries is obviously suffering some economic hardship. I saw several hundred females on the beach this week that couldn’t afford a swimsuit consisting of little more than two or three strings. And even sadder, there were dozens that couldn’t even afford the few strings. Anywhere.

But Spanish women and their European neighbors are a proud bunch. When I offered the ones with no strings some Euros, their reaction was one of disgust. So please keep these ladies in your thoughts. I certainly will.

Who is left working with Trev?

I'm encouraged having this kind of depth at QB. Haarberg and Torres showed potential. Purdy and Smothers may have greater opportunities elsewhere...

Went to the game today and man when the bats are moving the order like that, we are HARD to beat ... Max and Brice are legit MLB players ... but man, the lows of this team are REAL low ... frustrating but fun season, wonder if we can ride this momentum and turn things around on the home stretch and into the BIG tourney

Garrett Nelson has signed an undrafted free agent deal with the Miami Dolphins.

Nelson's first shot at the NFL will be down in South Beach.

I don't understand why someone with Palmer's speed, size and production has not been drafted yet, I hope my Giants get him in round six.

You took some grief, but you were right on the money.

@SUGAR LAND TX

Nothing surprising. Athletic did study of worst universities in converting 4 stars to NFL draft over last 11 years.

We’re in a league of our own…..

From 4-star to NFL Draft – Bottom 10 Universities. Feels like that’s about to change…
