OT - Alaska Lodge; I've added hunting options now

Just wanted to remind everyone about the 25% off deal for Husker fans for the 2023 season at my lodge (www.babeislandslodge.com). If you are interested in that Alaskan adventure I'd make 2023 the year - remember that chinook (king salmon) fishing starts June 15, and coho (silver salmon) starts early August.

Some have been interested in combo hunting/fishing packages; we could offer:

1) a combo deer - coho/halibut/shrimp/crab package August 1 - October 2023
2) a combo deer/bear - halibut/shrimp/crab package Sept. 1 - October 2023 - BUT, you would have to obtain a non-guided tag draw tag (DL027 permit)
3) a combo bear - halibut/shrimp/crab package, but you would have to have a non-guided tag (DL-028 permit, and wouldn't be until Spring 2024)

There are 55 tags for the Fall 2023 hunt, and 190 tags for the Spring 2024 hunt; not sure how many people apply for these, but I would think your odds with a party of 3-4 would be pretty good that one of you would get drawn. I also know that we have some big black bears around, and hunting could be very good. Add in reeling in coho salmon, a big halibut, and getting your daily catch of jumbo prawns - with at least one night feasting on Dungeness crab, and you have a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. You do NOT need a special tag for deer; those are a simple harvest tag.

If you are interested in either this Fall 2023 or Spring 2024 non-guided bear hunt, you need to register with Alaska Fish & Game, and then apply for the DL027 (Fall 2023) or DL028 (Spring 24) through the Draw Hunt Supplement. This draw application period closes on December 15.

Why So Slow?

I hope this staff gets completely assembled ASAP and we start hearing good news in recruiting and the transfer portal.

With Rhule, we seem to be going for the culture/development route which is all fine and good, but lack of recruiting experience is my biggest concern for this staff.

I just haven't seen much buzz or interest from recruits. It's possible I may be missing much of it because I'm on the free board.

Obviously it's WAY too early to make any judgements but it just seems we're slow getting out of the gates.

Is anyone else getting this feeling or am I just being impatient?

Football Five transfer portal entrants from Monday who Nebraska could pursue

Woke up to the Ben Brahmer news and slipped my mind to forum this. Little late, but here you go!

This is a list of four portal entrants from Monday who I think make sense for Nebraska to pursue – plus Keagan Johnson, who we know the Huskers are going after.

Basketball What We Learned: Amy Williams' Tuesday Press Conference

Fun morning back at Devaney to catch up with Amy Williams after her team came up with one of its biggest wins in her tenure over No. 20 Maryland. Plus, she talked about the recent scoring explosion by Jaz Shelley and the fun comradery she has with fellow Nebraska head coaches.

If the playoffs only consisted of conference champions ......

My playoff bracket:

Georgia vs Tulane

Michigan vs Utah

Tulane gets in due to it's win over K-State. Utah gets in over Clemson, because Notre Dame is the defacto champion of the ACC. They beat Clemson and North Carolina who played in the ACC championship game.

USC beat Notre Dame and Utah beat USC, therefore, Utah is more deserving than defacto ACC champ Notre Dame.

Volleyball Five Huskers named to all-region team

Some more postseason awards came the Huskers way Tuesday morning.

Madi Kubik, Lexi Rodriguez, Whitney Lauenstein Kaitlyn Hord and Bekka Allick were all named to the AVCA North All-Region Team. It’s the most all-region awards for Nebraska since having six in 2016.

This is Hord’s fifth all-region honor, Kubik’s fourth and Rodriguez’s second. Allick and Lauenstein were named all-region for the first time. Here is the full release by the volleyball program



The Nebraska volleyball team placed five student-athletes on the AVCA North All-Region Team on Tuesday. It marks the most all-region selections for the Huskers since earning six in 2016.

Madi Kubik, Lexi Rodriguez, Kaitlyn Hord, Whitney Lauenstein and Bekka Allick were all selected to the AVCA North All-Region Team. Hord earned her fifth career all-region honor, while Kubik picked up her fourth and Rodriguez her second. Lauenstein and Allick were honored for the first time.

Kubik, a senior outside hitter, is an AVCA All-Region selection for the fourth time in her career after leading the Huskers with 3.17 kills per set and a .247 hitting percentage, the best of her four-year Husker career. A six-rotation outside hitter, Kubik ranks third on the team in digs at 2.50 per set. Kubik was also a unanimous All-Big Ten selection this season, her second career first-team accolade and the third All-Big Ten honor of her career. An AVCA third-team All-American last year, the Husker captain ranks 14th in Nebraska school history in kills with 1,255. Kubik was named Big Ten Player of the Week on Nov. 21 this season.

Rodriguez, a sophomore libero, also repeated as an AVCA All-Region and All-Big Ten First-Team selection this season. Rodriguez leads the Huskers with 4.29 digs per set and had 128 set assists in the Huskers' 6-2 system this regular season. A unanimous selection to the All-Big Ten Team, Rodriguez has captained a Husker defense that leads the nation with a .123 opponent hitting percentage, and she ranks second on the team with 24 service aces. Rodriguez was an AVCA First-Team All-American and the AVCA National Freshman of the Year in 2021. She was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week on Oct. 10 this season.

Hord, a senior middle blocker, was named to the AVCA All-Region Team for the fifth time and the All-Big Ten Second Team this season after ranking among the nation's leaders in blocks. She currently is No. 1 in the nation with 1.60 blocks per set and averages 1.40 kills per set with a .291 hitting percentage. The graduate transfer from Penn State became a five-time All-Big Ten honoree this season. She has earned three AVCA All-America selections in her career as well.

Lauenstein is averaging 2.79 kills per set while hitting .243 and has a team-high 28 service aces, which earned her a spot on the AVCA All-Region team for the first time. The sophomore opposite hitter had a career-high 25 kills on .385 hitting in a win at No. 17 Creighton on Sept. 7. It was the most kills by a Husker in a match since Mikaela Foecke had 27 kills in the NCAA Championship match against Stanford in 2018.

Allick, a freshman middle blocker, earned her first AVCA All-Region honor this season and was one of just two unanimous choices to the seven-player All-Big Ten Freshman Team. Allick was also a second-team All-Big Ten honoree. She averages 1.95 kills per set and 1.04 blocks per set with a team-best .334 hitting percentage in the regular season. Allick was a two-time Big Ten Freshman of the Week this season.
