I will say that even tho this gets thrown around a lot, it does feel different down there. The kids are hungry to be better, a staff came in that has proven they are successful, and everything from practices to weight room is structured much differently. This staff will have a much easier time telling these kids how they want things done, why they make them practice the way they do, why they do things off the field the way they do. Taking a step back, is it really hard to acknowledge why Riley and their staff had trouble getting buy in? We fired a 9 win coach, brought in a guy that went 2-7 in his own conference, and then that staff had to tell the kids “you need to do things differently, here is what we did.” It just wasn’t going to work psychologically for 18-22 year old kids. Now, Nebraska is coming off a 4-8 season and brought in the National Coach of the Year that took a team from 0-12 to 13-0 in 2 years, capping that off beating a team in the Peach Bowl that beat the tar out of Alabama and Georgia. If the kid doesn’t want to listen to why he should do things differently, GTFO. We are getting more kids reps than ever, most of the time, 44 kids are getting reps at the same time to develop depth. There’s not a lot of stopping and coaching during these, they coach in the film room. Our coaches talk about “we’ve seen it and repped it dozens of times by the time it happens on Saturday.” I’ve had the pleasure at being to 2 or 3 practices and I’ll give my run down. I’ll try to remain more positive than negative here, and keep the glass is half-full mentality.
Great read while sitting in the tractor disking a field. Only took like an hour to read! Lol that was long.
A lot of great insight into each position group. Makes me curious about Willie Hampton and Andrew Ward and why they weren't mentioned in the ILB summary.

Andrew Ward was mentioned and that he had a chance to be in the top 4 if Avery doesnt step up his game.
Guy Thomas comment was disconcerting
Guessing I just threw Ward in when mentioning Hampton and forgot Ward was mentioned. Thanks for the correction!
Agree about Thomas. I still have high hopes for him as he is young.

Nebraska football player Breon Dixon‘s fight for immediate eligibility could be coming to a close. His former team, Ole Miss recently told the NCAA they had “no further response” on the case of Shea Patterson and others.
ESPN reports the SEC school had been fighting the transfer waiver requests of the former Ole Miss players but on Wednesday had decided it didn’t have any more to fight with. Thomas Mars, Patterson’s attorney, says that Ole Miss’ move clears the way for the NCAA to officially rule.
Thanks HBK4life, kind of a double edge sword.
If Nebraska gets Dixon eligible , Harbaugh gets Patterson eligible.

Off topic but how long before you get the seed in the ground? And where abouts are ya
If UM getting SP meant a win vs NU in 2018, but not getting SP meant a win for NU...
SP definitely makes their crappy offense better.
SW Nebraska, just west of McCook about 30 miles at the moment.
These two pivots will be soybeans, so they won't be planted for almost a month.
The next pivot will be corn. We generally plant irrigated corn starting May 1st.
Last year we planted our dryland corn the last week of April and it came back to bite us. This year, we will wait until after the irrigated seed is in the ground.

Not necessarily. Patterson and Harbaugh screwed up the wording on his waiver request. Basically, the school would have to admit the NCAA accuastions in order to approve his release. I don't know if Dixon used simmilar verbage as Patterson or not.
Dixon also said he was misled by the Ole Miss staff with regards to the severity of the violations and how severe of a penalty the NCAA was going to dish out.
The problem I see is that Dixon is a year younger than Patterson. By the time Dixon signed his NLI the severity of the violations was pretty well known and most people believed the NCAA penalties would be more severe than a bowl game ban and a couple of scholarships.
I could see Patterson getting approved and Dixon being denied, even though they filed similar waiver requests.
I've been told yes. But who knows. Obviously someone with great access and knowledge of the inner workings at NU.
