Track time improvement (middle school girl)

So my daughter has an interest in trying out for her middle school's track team. The tryouts are in a month and she is 12 years old.

We went to the track to get some times as a baseline (in tennis shoes, no blocks)

100m 15.3
200m 37.3
400m 1 min 40 sec

She is in decent shape from playing lacrosse (midfield), but I am surprised how fast she gets gassed running the 200 and 400m.

Realistically how much time can she shave off in the next month if she works?

Opponent Attrition


With Brown going into the draft (and yes I know this is old news) and their loss of defensive staff (even older news), they don't appear to be as big of a threat.

Purdue and Wisconsin changed coaching staffs (one having a major philosophy change), Minnesota losing Morgan and Ibrahim and Sori-Marin, Northwestern being awful (Skoronski declaring early for draft), and Iowa?

Well F*** them!

Did I miss anything else?

It sets up pretty nice for our Huskers if there is even the slightest improvement in coaching.

Next year setting up to look pretty good!

Volleyball Nebraska adds Florida transfer Merritt Beason

The Nebraska volleyball team landed Florida transfer Merritt Beason Friday evening. The 6-foot-3 outside hitter/opposite averaged 3.35 kills per set this season on a .261 clip. She'll have two seasons of eligibility as she moves into her junior season. The Gardendale, Alabama native played in 31 matches during her freshman season, adding 217 kills, 173 digs and 15 aces en route to a spot on the All-SEC Freshman team.

She exploded during her sophomore season, totaling 348 kills with 200 digs and 38 service aces for the Gators. Throw in 92 blocks and she's another impactful front row attacker to add to an already crowded group in Lincoln. Beason is seemingly a walk-on as the Husker currently have no scholarships to give.

This is the second piece of transfer portal news for Nebraska as junior setter Anni Evans entered the portal on December 10.

Football Inside Nebraska’s Year in Review: Nebraska Offense

While the 2023 class isn’t officially completed yet — the Huskers could still add a high school name or two in January ahead of the Feb. 1 signing day — the 2022 season has been done for over a month.

Let’s take a look back and hand out some postseason hardware for the 2022 Huskers.

Scott Frost

I'm sorry to start a thread about Scott Frost. I think most of us are tired of hearing about him. My dad works in Omaha and he confirmed for me that Scott was an alcoholic. Scott was showing up late to practices as a result of his drinking issues. Dylan Raiola de committed from Nebraska because Scott was drunk and couldn't visit Dylan due to him being drunk. Ever since the Huskers fired Scott Frost, I have been trying to figure out what happened to him and why things went so bad. I finally know the whole story. My dad also said that Scott Frost's wife has left him. Therefore, the rumors that personal issues were affecting his coaching were true.

Scholarship Distribution Chart

This chart is really helpful to understand with the 85 scholarship level by Aug31, and the fact we are still adding guys, on how many players are going to need to move on.

Just so you know it is currently overstated by one as Gabe Ervin Jt. Is on the chart twice as both a sophomore and junior. So there is one less in your current totals.

Thanks for providing.

Coming full circle

I’m probably drinking a ton of kool-aid here but I couldn’t help to think of our coaching history and notice something.

Before Bob Devaney, we had probably our worst coach in Husker history with Bill Jennings. Bill had a .310 win percentage and abysmal .240 conference record, We all know what happened after Devaney took over.

Almost 60 years since Bill was named HC, Scott Frost gets the same gig. His stats are very similar to Jennings with a .340 win percentage and a .286 conference record.

Things like this usually come full circle so let’s hope Rhule can do what Devaney did after Jennings. I know it’s a stretch but I see a lot of great things in Rhule unlike any coach since Osborne. GBR!!!
