Has anyone had 2nd thoughts on running a 3-3-5 defense after seeing TCU get destroyed? Does it come down to "Jimmys & Joes" in order to properly execute a 3-3-5? Bama can do it because they have teh 4 and 5 star athletes.

what is the name of the professional golfer who has the strange - 'sneak up on his putts multi-steps to the approach' pro golfer?
anyone know who i am referring to?
he literally inches his way to getting into his putting stance with 3-4 or so small steps.

driving me a tad crazy that i cannot come up with his name right now.

Found some cool stuff on my little research project. Hit the link for more.

Nebraska wasting no time offering the WR/TE from Arlington Martin High School. Thats the school Bob Wager just left to coach at Nebraska. Smith-Flores holds offers from Iowa, Michigan State and Rutgers among others.

He's an Iowa legacy and his dad who was inducted into the Iowa Hall of Fame in 2019. He did take an official visit to Iowa already during the season too.

UPDATE:

Smith Flores will take an official visit to Nebraska on Jan. 20. He also had this to say about what makes Wager so well-liked by players:

“Coach Wager is a guy who gives everyone a fair shake and he treats everyone like family, it doesn’t matter if you’re a bench warmer on Freshman team or a 5 Star he treats everyone with love.”

First and foremost, I love that Rhule does his own evaluation and doesn’t give two shits about stars. He looks for fits and athletes. He wants players that live and breathe the game and have insane measurables. We've been burnt by so many four stars, it's insane.

Things I'm nervous about, stud recruiters. At Nebraska you need at least two guys who are proven elite recruiters. He didn't go that route and I'll back him, but I'm skeptical that we can recruit at a level that wins championships.

Long story short, I don't know shit.

in Michigan to help take care of the moose population which they said are overpopulated. Thoughts?


Welp

At the airport. Pretty interesting. Must have been a large cascaded failure to cause this level of outage.

Anybody got recommendations for Food Trucks that roll into West-Omaha area? I've been disappointed with take out around here (except Copps Pizza) and I hit up a couple of food trucks lately. I have been surprised how really good they were. The Corn Dog Company and Izzy's Pizza Bus. Want to try some others and wondered if you guys knew of any others that wandered out this way 180th & Pacific Area.

Thanks & GBR

Very cool.

...... Hammer away.....

I spoke with the Huskers' newest offensive lineman Walter Rouse this morning. You don't want to miss why he picked Nebraska, his thoughts on Donovan Raiola and why he'll most likely miss spring ball.

“It really just came down to how I felt personally with Coach Raiola and Coach Rhule plus the staff in general. I felt like Coach Raiola truly believed in me and he had a plan for me. He knew where he could get me to the NFL Draft and getting to the next level. So that's what did it for me."

What does Baylor transfer WR/RB Josh Fleeks bring to Nebraska's offense and special teams? Let @Foremanjay5655 tell you.

We break down Fleeks' tape on the latest Blackshirt Breakdown. Check it out:

Good stuff from running backs coach EJ Barthel this afternoon.

Here's a bit on what UConn's 2022 meant to him, his thoughts on his current RB room, a cool story about Rhule's culture at Temple and more.

Huskers RB coach E.J. Barthel and secondary coach Evan Cooper each held his first press conference as a Nebraska coach on Thursday. Here are five key takeaways:

When and how do we get the current roster size down, especially since we keep getting more commits?

I posted this in another thread but im curious. Sure, we hear about spring practices and what not. Do we ever hear about off-season work outs/progress?

How can we find out if players are already working out in the new S&C program and holding unorganized practices? As far as I'm concerned, the off-season started 11/26/2022... Gotta put in that work. GBR.
