Hope you all don't mind a newbie starting the game thread. Good guys up 11 to 6 early.

I recently saw a passing reference to Bob Stoops being a candidate on Bill Byrne's list when Osborne retired. I had read that Mack Brown was on his list, but this is the first time that I'd heard Stoops mentioned. Anyone insiders or people in the know that can confirm this?

Today, I was editing an Email before sending it out to a large group at work. I spelled the number TWO as too. And this wasn't auto correct, I was on my laptop.

Later on in the day, I was chatting with one of the team members who report to me and I wrote the word NO when I was trying to state I "know."

I've also recently started using their in place of there and seem to be oblivious to they're.

Am I suffering from early onset dimentia? Hell, did I even spell dimentia correctly?

Hurled objects at the Marquette bench after buzzer. Warriors win and MacDermott only spoke about the bad fans in the post game presser.

Taking kids, need 2 or 3 tickets for today's game. PM if you have any, thanks.

Things are really going to pickup.

If.....if we get Raiola, recruiting will steam roll, but if we don't, think it's much of the same as past years. NOW if we have a break out year on the field, could be looking at a top 10 recruiting for 2024.

Me for one not sold on Raiola?!?

I read that Carter really admires Travis Kelce and Carter does not want tom play any other position than TE. Kelce is 6’5” and weighs 250. Carter is 6’4” or 6’5” and it’s reported that he he weighs 210-215. From the images I’ve scene of him, he may not have the frame or bone structure to add 40 lbs of muscle. The article says he does not want to play Defence. He is clearly a gifted athlete and should be able to find a home as a starter somewhere on anyones roster, but if he may just want night end it may limit him.

We're back for the second weekend series of the season as Nebraska (0-3-1) travels to Mobile to take on South Alabama (4-1) to begin a three-game set at Stanky Field. Big weekend for the Huskers who need to start piling up wins before digging themselves in too big of a hole.

Tonight could be a pitcher's dual as both teams send out its aces as LHP Emmett Olson (0-1, 5.06 ERA) takes the mound for the Huskers after a pretty good start last Friday against San Diego. RHP Jeremy Lee is the starter for the Jaguars. He's a budding ace for South Alabama, becoming a Freshman All-American in 2021 and shutting out Northwestern State in the season opener last week.

This is Nebraska's second-ever trip to the state of Alabama this weekend. The only other series was a three-game set against Alabama in 2007. Huskers won that series 2-1.

No video stream tonight, but Saturday and Sunday's games will be live on ESPN+. Just radio tonight.

Here's some pregame talk with assistant coach Lance Harvell (sad to say he shaved his beard)

What was the message to the team after last week?

"The message was, regardless of the outcomes and results and the wins and losses, we got better as the weekend went on. There was a lot of good things to take away from last weekend and we just have to do a better job of it coming out this weekend. We challenged them to set the tone and come out and play our game from the get go and not let up for nine innings.

How helpful is it in a game like baseball where you don't have to wait very long to play?

"It's big. Just the nature of the game. Then the nature of this group too. Everything that we know about this group and what we've seen leading up to this point, we got a great opportunity to go and prove it right away. The resiliency and the toughness of this team. What a great opportunity to showcase that this weekend."

SIAP…
But WHAT THE F***?!?
How is this POSSIBLY a coincidence? Being done on purpose, maybe? Anyone else considering this?

Penn St lives by the three hopefully today they die by the three..

GBR!

Probably a long shot at this point, but anyone selling 2-3 Creighton tickets for tonight's game? Was hoping to take my 4 year old to get his sports fix now that college and NFL is football is over. Please message me if interested in selling.

TIA

....I get the not winning games...and I claim to have ZERO knowledge about his outside life...but we have pretty constant' hung over' references...how much of his character is really substantiated?

If it weren’t for the potential flooding, sounds kinda fun.

Came out of Donovan Raiola's presser yesterday wanting to write a column on it.

According to Sam Griesel, a motivating and moving postgame speech from an injured Emmanuel Bandoumel following the loss to Northwestern in January has helped Nebraska basketball go on this winning run. Here's more on that, as well as the matchup with Minnesota this Saturday:

Thoughts after rewatching it…

Sweet revenge on Halloween. I’m sure most of us remember the 1991 tie and the 1990 loss in Lincoln. (The 1990 game was a punch in the stomach. When Nebraska was up 12-0, I thought they would win a national title). The crowd in the 1992 game was intense, perhaps as much as ever at home. What is it about miserable weather home games and rowdy crowds? I’ve never seen a visiting QB as rattled as Detmer was. He was a freshman thrown to the wolves. He threw a pick right away and it didn’t get better from there. Alberts, Hill, and Parella chased him all over the field. Meanwhile, Frazier and the “We-Backs” were rolling with options and counters.

Despite transitioning to a pass heavy offense, Colorado was formidable. They were ranked 8th and finished 9-2-1 with losses to Nebraska (#8) and Syracuse (#6). They were flushed with NFL quality players- Kordell Stewart, Deon Figures, Rashaan Salaam, Rae Carruth, Christian Fauria, Lamont Warren, Chris Naeole, Chad Brown, Greg Biekert, Ted Johnson, Michael Westbrook, etc.

Stray observations…
Fans threw oranges on the field

Shields ran a fumblerooski

Nebraska attempted a fake field goal pass early on that failed

Parella clearly had a strip/sack play called down because of instant replay

Nebraska would go on to route Kansas the following week in similar fashion and then the loss at Iowa State happened. The ISU game is still perhaps the most inexplicable Nebraska loss ever.
