4-6 Practice interviews and updates

Just seems weird if green is still non-contact for defenders to tackle but green jerseys can drill people.
It does mean no contact. Which is why Gifford didn’t hit him. Haarberg decided to take it to a guy he knew couldn’t hit him back and is why he “blew him up”. It’s easy to knock someone backwards that is actively avoiding hitting you….

Ok. Thanks for the clarification. I would think that would mean Haarberg is running the stairs. Do they still run the stairs as punishment?
 
Anyone know NCAA history for granting the waiver Arik Gilbert needs?? I’m guessing since Georgia did not experience a coaching staff change, IMO, seems doubtful he plays a regular season game as a Husker but who knows.
I'd be very surprised if he isn't cleared to play. His mental health issues are well documented and it sounds like Georgia is willing to help in the process also.

I hope so. It's not like he needed to transfer in order to play. He had good numbers as a frosh at LSU. So sounds like a pretty clear cut case that it was truly mental health issues. But it is the NCAA so you never know.
 
So NU took home 10% of $600,000? That seems really low. Baseball seems like a natural fit. I would add that next.
Money is money. I liked the fact that everyone who thought serving beer would turn all the fans into drunken soccer hooligans. Not one police report issued. People can enjoy a couple beers at sporting events and not turn into lunatics. Baseball and football should be next.

Agreed. Plus it sounds like it was used as a way to get or keep people going to basketball games. So from that perspective it makes total sense, regardless of profit.
 
Earlier this spring Nebraska defensive lineman signee Riley Van Poppel made his way back to Lincoln, where he was able to spend more time with the staff, get a feel for how practices will look under Nebraska coach Matt Rhule and continue to immerse himself in the Huskers experience.
Van Poppel wants to put himself in position to play early if at all possible, so he’s putting together a busy offseason workout package that has him both working on shaping and tonight his body, but also getting in a lot of reps with defensive line work as well.

“I’ve been in the weight room, on the field, working agility,” he said. “What I do is work out for about two hours before school. I know a guy down here real well that worked in the NFL doing strength and conditioning, he looked at the program I got from Nebraska and threw some of his own mixes into that he’s used. I’ve been doing that with some of my friends that are going on to play college ball. We lift in the mornings and run. Somedays its for foundation and others its agility, speed and stuff like that. We’re trying to build the base and then put the strength on.

“After school I’ve got a defensive line trainer I go to. It’s more specific position stuff. Not that the other isn’t football related but it’s defensive line stuff I’d use in games. Like techniques.”

Love seeing when guys are dialed in and focused from the start.
 

Is Nebraska Pole Vaulter Jess Gardner The Next Olivia Dunne?

Olivia Dunne might have some serious competition coming from Jess Gardner. Jess is a junior pole vaulter for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, and appears to be just as successful outside of sports as in it. She was a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar and Academic All-Big Ten in 2021 and 2022. Very impressive for sure

Nebraska practices look a bit different with Matt Rhule running the show.

During the Scott Frost era, there wasn’t a ton of high speed contact in practices, which drew the ire of many.

That’s no longer the case. Not only are the Cornhuskers flying all over the place on the field in practice under Rhule, but that includes the quarterbacks getting live action.

“I let quarterbacks play, and that was the best the quarterbacks had played (Saturday). That’s the best they have played. They needed that. They needed those live reps when they can get hit to speed up their process. We went quarterbacks live inside the 5-yard line. You find out when you do that they don’t get hit that often. It just speeds up their process. A lot of things for us is a little bit off timing-wise. What I love about our group is they’re not making excuses,”

Football is a different animal first of all you are tailgating for hours before that you are not doing at Basketball games.so people are already on the way when they enter to Football games, you already see problems at football games .I had some drinks at PBA, and if they serve it at Memorial Stadium sometime I will purchase. But you will some problems at football for the reasons I stated above and obviously 90, 000 compared to 13, 000 people also increase the chances.

Until they make it better seating at Memorial Stadium the problem will be spilled beers on people because we are all crammed on top of each other. That might lead to a few fights.
