Hard to believe that the country already knows about DR, is learning who Barney is, and doesn't know who Nelson is.Ideally, they’re just gonna get better. Need a couple portal OL, maybe a RB, but if we get that, this offense will be scary.

I finished my masters at Michigan before I went to medical school. I was in Ann Arbor last week for the USC game. Booster and alumni were talking about how much they were going to throw at a portal QB in the offseason. The number that was floated was something like 4-5 million dollars.DR is gonna get some $tupid number$ thrown at him this off season. I’m not too worried about it at this point, but Bama, UGA, OSU, Clemson, Miami, Oregon, PSU and others will (or could be) in the market for a QB next year. We need to get Dylan a couple stud OL and a RB in the portal, put the proper pieces around him. Like I said, I’m not overly worried about next year, but if we don’t give Dylan what he needs to win… I can’t blame him if he starts listening to those offers after his sophomore season.

All that is to say we better put an OL around DR or we'll definitely have teams that will throw that kind of money at him to leave Nebraska.
Agreed. This is Dave portnoy alone pledging 3 milliion dollars. It's crazy the money that Nebraska will have to compete with to stay relevant for some of these top players.If a program offers Dylan or anyone else that kind of jack, you just have to tip your cap to a kid who has put himself in that position and thank him for trying us out and wish him well and use it as a recruiting tool for another H.S. QB.
"We helped put our last QB in a position to retire before he was 25..." or something like that.
Nelson hasn't put any wow plays on highlight reels yet. He needed to have high jumped the pile on that goal line dive and stuck the landing.Hard to believe that the country already knows about DR, is learning who Barney is, and doesn't know who Nelson is.
No. You are Nebraska and you offer more. You then take more money and go get him more weapons.If a program offers Dylan or anyone else that kind of jack, you just have to tip your cap to a kid who has put himself in that position and thank him for trying us out and wish him well and use it as a recruiting tool for another H.S.

Any decent football fan can tell Nelson is going to be good. He's getting snaps and designed plays and he didn't enroll early like the other true freshman that are showing out.Nelson hasn't put any wow plays on highlight reels yet. He needed to have high jumped the pile on that goal line dive and stuck the landing.
I liked the idea of having him high point that ball across the goal line, Nelson just didn’t execute it. Seemed afraid of fumbling.Nelson hasn't put any wow plays on highlight reels yet. He needed to have high jumped the pile on that goal line dive and stuck the landing.
It's a non regulated arms race right now. Only, you can't build your lines that way. Build the lines, buy the skill players.Exactly, not sure why this isn’t obvious.

I think you underestimate how many people in this fanbase can walk into a John Deere with a briefcase of cash to buy a brand new combine without even giving it a thought or worry. There is stupid money in this State.Sounds great...i'm all for it. Color me doubtful it happens unless Buffet gets religon on this subject.
It would have possibly gotten swatted out. I have no faith in replay officials making the right call in that case.I liked the idea of having him high point that ball across the goal line, Nelson just didn’t execute it. Seemed afraid of fumbling.
99% of people buying a new combine finance it. They keep trading up to avoid paying income tax by using section 179. Higher interest rates have led to larger numbers of tractors and combines sitting on lots in our area.I think you underestimate how many people in this fanbase can walk into a John Deere with a briefcase of cash to buy a brand new combine without even giving it a thought or worry.

Would’ve been nice to be able to count on that. Whole game was a joke in that arenaIt would have possibly gotten swatted out. I have no faith in replay officials making the right call in that case.
There would be a lawsuit filed immediately and the players would win. In fact, they already have (See Alston vs NCAA).I don't have many original thoughts, and this probably isn't one, but how about each program having a cap what they can spend each year for NIL?. If nothing else if forces certain schools to go back to having car dealerships give athletes jobs "sweeping" the floor".
Maybe I missed it but I didn't see a big play by Nelson this week at Purdue.Hard to believe that the country already knows about DR, is learning who Barney is, and doesn't know who Nelson is.
He didn't. I still think he's going to be really good.Maybe I missed it but I didn't see a big play by Nelson this week at Purdue.
He got a catch earlyHe didn't. I still think he's going to be really good.
Yeah, first of the game? I just didn't think it was a big play.He got a catch early
Players need to sign contracts. If they want to be paid professional money, they need to assume the professional responsibility of fulfillling a contract.There will, eventually,be a so-called salary cap for schools on how much money they can spend.Similar to the NFL.Plus,I believe,the players will have to sign a contract.
You mean Ives?? 😂Nelson hasn't put any wow plays on highlight reels yet. He needed to have high jumped the pile on that goal line dive and stuck the landing.
Good thing that NIL was passed. How wonderful it is that 95% of college football teams can act as a farm system so that several elite programs can become the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers of college football.Agreed. This is Dave portnoy alone pledging 3 milliion dollars. It's crazy the money that Nebraska will have to compete with to stay relevant for some of these top players.
