OT: Niners @ Philly

This should be a fun matchup. If you like smash mouth football, this should be must see TV. If you like no defense and the ball flying all over the yard, your game is at 5pm :)

I'm a huge Niners fan and homer of course. Winning 12 in a row, there's no doubt the Niners played better the last half of the season. And I have zero care about what Philly did to NYG. That's a garbage playoff team and didn't even belong. Philly hasn't really played someone as salty as the Niners D (#1 in almost every category with all-pros at every level) and the Niners probably just got done playing a defense of similar talent to Philly...but Philly has the horses on O that Dallas really just doesn't. I do think Purdy will play substantially better against Philly than he did vs Dallas (even though on a closer look he didn't play that bad, just ok). He just needs to make the 2-3 plays that end up being the difference an avoid the big costly plays (which he's avoided thus far). I obviously love Shanahan and the matchups he'll create.

Philly is good for a reason. I'm crazy excited about the matchup. Should be a battle.

Niners by 3.

Recruiting Recruiting Blitz: Huskers go 5-for-5, fullback recruiting, more Raiola news and visit recaps

@jansencoburn and I discussed the latest news in Nebraska recruiting again this week in the Recruiting Blitz.

Matt Rhule and his staff went 5-for-5 after landing Sua Lefotu. The Huskers get a fullback transfer. Dylan Raiola is visited by all 9 Husker coaches, the Huskers got a visit from 2025 quarterback Stone Saunders, and much more.

Fred Hoiberg is done after this season, right?

I don’t dislike Fred Hoiberg, but he has failed in an epic manner here. There were points this season—particularly after Creighton and the first Purdue game—where I had hoped he was finally turning the corner.

Now? We are 3-7 in conference (2nd from last), and he is 34-76 overall. We have been patient, but this is indefensible.

On one final note, with the inexplicable, meritless extensions of Frost and Hoiberg, Bill Moos has to be the most disastrous AD ever for us, right?

Incredible Malachi Coleman story

Apologies for linking to another site, but this is too good not to share:

"Malachi remembers wandering around the streets, feeling confused and alone. He and his sister, Nevaeh, were always hungry. They’d check trash cans behind gas stations searching for scraps. Sometimes, a kind person would give them something to eat. They slept anywhere they could.

Their biological father died in a car accident. Their biological mother was a drug addict and alcoholic. She wasn’t always around. One day, she stole a car, put her kids inside and drove away. At some point she stopped, dropping Malachi and Nevaeh off on the side of the street. She said she’d be back.

“That was the last time I saw her,” Malachi said. “I was five.”

Eventually, Malachi and Neveah entered the foster care system, bouncing around in South Dakota and later Nebraska. Malachi remembers being moved from foster home to foster home, shoveled through the system. A name on a piece of paper.

The second foster home was the worst. The father threw Malachi through a wall. The neighbors had to call the cops to have Malachi and Neveah emergency removed. Malachi was six.

Malachi speaks with a soft baritone. A rich voice that sounds almost musical when he’s excited and talking about football. But when relaying his time in the foster care system, Malachi’s voice drops to nearly a whisper. His eyes are almost sunken as he recounts the trauma of his youth.

He may have left the foster care system in 2015 — at nine, Malachi and his sister found a home with the Colemans and their new brother — but the emotional scars never left him."

Football Five Takeaways from Terrance Knighton, Ed Foley press conference

– Ed Foley's embracement of the state and culture and why it's important
– Terrance Knighton speaks right into the heart of frustrated Nebraska fans
– "Good luck" against Tony White's schemes

All of that and more in my Five Takeaways from Monday's press conference:

I hope Dylan Raiola doesn’t get pressured into being a Husker.

We all obviously want him to be a Husker, but I have doubts about whether that is what he wants. Our fans are dissecting his interviews for signs of hope, but he is in a challenging position and has to be diplomatic. With his uncle on our staff and his family legacy with the Huskers, of course he is going to voice interest in Nebraska until the end.

I get the feeling his heart is elsewhere, however. I hope I am wrong, and he wants to come here and help us restore our program.

Heading to Arrowhead tomorrow...

I haven't been back to Arrowhead since the 18-16 divisional round loss to the Steelers in 2017. Was thinking about doing it all week but finally pulled the trigger and bought a ticket to the AFC title game tomorrow.

Sounds dramatic but I told myself I'd never go back to a game there because it really was that painful. Six-hour drive there felt like 14 on the way home. But I've never lived this close to KC before (6-hour drive living in IL, 9.5 hours in Columbus and 19.5 living in Connecticut lol) and I need to watch prime Mahomes in person in a playoff game or I'd regret it forever. And I also don't wanna get a noise violation watching it at home in my new apartment complex 😂 absolutely no clue how I didn't get one during the 13 Seconds Game last year.
