It also is being reported that a very productive running back from Alabama is reportedly transferring

My Dad retired this year and he just has never seemed happier LOL ...

I may never get to retire on this teacher's salary but that's okay, love what I do ... but 40 years from now? I sure hope I still do.

I will be the first to say. I have been as hard on these coaches as anyone. But this fan base although a small portion especially in this forum is down right toxic. Lots of people need to look in the mirror before they spew the BS they do. Reading these threads you would have thought we lost by 4 td.

There are many areas to improve on. But we have a winning season and a bowl win. The first since 2016. They finally won a game they have typically lost for the past 8 years. In my opinion we saw a lot of young players who didn’t bail to the portal and made plays.

I am for one happy Rhule has made changes on the staff where we have struggled. Seeing that I am hopeful he will do the same for Special teams. GBR and march on to 2025. Thank you coaches and players to give me an opportunity to cheer on the team in December.

GBR

Did I read somewhere hear that Fidone is done due to medical reasons? Is that the case or did I dream that up?

Updated (Sunday, Dec. 8)

There it is. Official news: Nebraska vs. Boston College in the Pinstripe Bowl on Dec. 28. But y'all knew that already 🤝


=================================

Updated (Friday, Dec. 6)

Nebraska is slated to play in the Pinstripe Bowl, sources told Inside Nebraska. Opponent is likely to be either Pittsburgh or Boston College. Game will kick off at 12pm ET/11am CT on Dec. 28 at Yankee Stadium in NYC on ABC.

=================================

These are all of the bowl games (excluding any College Football Playoff games, of course) that have contractual tie-ins with the Big Ten Conference.

It also includes the recent history of those bowl games involving B1G teams and those teams' records in each respective season to give a general idea of Nebraska's realistic placing in the postseason:

Matt Rhule and company are doing an excellent job so far with the transfer portal. Will they be able to reel in at least two offensive lineman? Two guys that are good enough to start next year.

Extremely talented but just can't put it together yet. Rhule struggled with clock management but Lincoln from USC makes him look like a genius. Terrible management at the end of the half.

How many teams make the College Football Playoffs compared to other sports?

Football - 12 of 134 teams - 8.95%
Football (FCS) - 24 out of 129 teams - 18.60%
Football (NFL) - 14 out 32 teams - 43.75%
Men's Basketball - 68 out of 352 teams - 19.32%
Men's Baseball - 64 out of 300 teams - 21.33%
Women's Basketball - 68 out of 360 teams - 18.89%
Women's Volleyball - 64 out of 346 teams - 18.50%
Women's Softball - 64 out of 286 teams - 22.38%

Men's college football has the least amount of playoff teams of all the major sports. People would think of the playoffs completely different if bowl games didn't exist.

If you want to know why we lose close games, it's bc of special teams. Pathetic. Ed Foley needs to be replaced yesterday.

Is he going somewhere else? Have not heard anything in a few days so I assume Nebraska lost out on another top portal OL.
