Optimism for Rhule is Warranted

What stands out to me most about Rhule’s hire is that we finally had an AD study what led to success in the Big 10, work with inside knowledge of what made us successful before, and then go find a guy who could fulfill those visions. It is our first merit-based, top choice hire who wants to restore our identity. Contrast that to the visionless, identity-less, reactionary past changes with ADs:

Solich: Recruiting is mediocre. Get an NFL guy and sell that!

Callahan: The defense sucks and is wimpy! Bring in a hard ass defense guy!

Pelini: My god! He is crazy and no one likes him! Get a nice guy!

Riley: My god! What have we done?! He just sucks! We need a Nebraska guy!

Frost: Well…that was a disaster! Let’s double down! He’s a Nebraska guy!

Frost (again): Shit! He still sucks! What now?


Enter Rhule. He and Trev obviously want to reestablish our identity and line of scrimmage dominance. He is excellent at finding and developing players. He is second to none at establishing relationships with high school coaches, which helps both scouting and recruiting. Players love his family-like atmospheres and speak highly of him. He develops and utilizes walk ons. He adapts his offenses to the players he has.

We are finally returning to our identity. The old Nebraska was actually what was suited for the Big 10, not all the fake identities we have tried to assume since then.

I know everyone is beaten down by the misery of the last two decades. However, I think Rhule was just what we needed, and optimism is warranted.

Ranking the Husker Message Boards..

1. Inside Nebraska - the content here has elevated this board to #1. I kind of feel slighted over the years. You guys work really hard and provide some exceptional content.

2. The Platinum Board- fantastic board for rumors and nudity. But too many morons from the 24/7 site have tarnished that boards greatness.

3. On3 - Message board cost has allowed a lot of poors to show up and downgrade the posting quality. On3 reporting pales to this board and 24/7.

4. 24/7 - I really respect Christopherson and the staff there. Schafer is entertaining, but doesn't know shit. The biggest issue is that message board. They have some serious po-tay-toes over there who I feel like couldn't handle it over here where we mocked their stupidity.


One common thread among all these message boards:

The worst of our fanbase wouldn't be on display if Nebraska football didn't suck balls.

Chiefs tickets…

This is a long shot, I am an assistant principal at an elementary school and have an associate that would LOVE to give her son the experience of Arrowhead Stadium for Christmas. Her son has some struggles/special needs but truly is a great kid and she unfortunately can’t afford to pay a lot of tickets. Is there anyone that would have a good resource for maybe helping her out, she’s a great person and employee and I would love to help her and her family make this christmas moment happen. She is looking for 3 tickets, don’t care where they are located in the stadium. If anyone has any leads and could put me in contact with someone please let me know. I realize this is a long shot with only 2 home games to go. Thanks in advance and GBR
