or watched the Utah game...
or Iowa game
or Penn St game
or Minnesota game
or the contrived halftime speech by Rhule vs Akron
or looking at 78 other schoolsthat are better than Nebraska
or Nebraska's weather is $#it
One theme has been prevalent listening to interviews of the coaches in the playoffs talk about a big key to their success – dominant offensive and defensive lines. We are going into year four with a coach that still hasn’t gotten that figured out.

Nebraska will need to pay a top quarterback a million above going rate to offset the poor stats they will have from being rushed split seconds after the ball is hiked.

We have 1 scholarship QB. 1

we don’t even have a Freshman coming in.

we are a spring injury away from having a QB battle between Walk-ons. Yes QB is very important

thank god we got Fat Pat $900k to lead the worse QB roster management I’ve ever seen
Well find a QB. I wasn’t doing cartwheels over Minchey either. His video wasn’t very good from their spring game. I would bet Dana is on the phone to late signing high schooler kids in Texas as I post.

First Elijah Robinson plays us, now Minchey.

I've tried to be as positive as I can this off-season, but our staff and admin has come out of this looking more and more inept and naive.

We supposedly have all kinds of money to spend but keep getting outbid.

But hey, at least we're a basketball school now!

How much more money are those fvckers paying more is what i would like to know.
Probably not that much more. Maybe the same (or less even), and he just prefers playing for a better coached team. Sometimes it's not only about $.



On the other hand. Raiola, I feel is holding out for $ he is not going to get.

I hope so dingle. I might go round and round with you and @RealTucoSalamanca and others but we certainly have passion for the team. Just different view points on who should lead it. At the end of the day; I just want to win. 🤷‍♂️

I’m guessing he’s going to Miami, Oregon is used to mobile quarterbacks and Dylan is far from that

You are missing the point. We have more needs than QB . We aren’t TT we can’t grossly overpay on 1 position. Kentucky basically gave 1 player a blank check they were 5-7 . They need much more than this guy.
Rhule was right when he said something to the extent that the market for players will be driven by the most desperate. Or something of that ilk. What a joke this portal crap is. Just a good damn bidding war without rules. Some of these guys, including our own guys, are declaring free agency every ******* year.

Are we even sure LaTeef is staying? Every year is a new negotiation is today's corrupt world of college athletics. I'm just about done with this ****.

Go get Phil Rivers for a year.

He's available.

There are no rules.
That's already happening in college basketball. European pros and G Leaguers getting cleared for college ball. Before you know it, a rookie that gets cut in camp will sue and be allowed to play college ball again. Just watch.

Wow. But according to someone on this board that watched his spring practice video he wasn’t a good passer. Oh well. TJ Lateef it is. **** wasting $ on someone like Chiles.
We still have guys on here who profess to know football better than most and they still haven't figured out that TJ LaTeef doesn't like to run the ball. They think he's Tim ******* Tebow.

No he not! He’s super cool, like wears-his-hat-backwards cool.

Damnit! You are right? How does one go about getting back into the good graces of Will Compton. I totally screwed up.

Do I offer some twisted tea or white claw? Is he gonna flip his hat and cuss at me?

Matt Rhule also said that Troy Dannen taught him that the day that he extended a 77-89 coach with a .370 conference record. 😏

The problem is I don’t think our Chubby GM boy genius realizes he’s one of the more desperate.

If Stewart & Rhule want to talk about guys being over paid, those two need to look at themselves in the mirror because they are the most over paid in the state, no matter who we sign at QB.

Can’t afford a QB. Fire Stewart & Snow and that’s $1.3MM itself

We are in uncharted waters. I don‘t see how college sports survive (at the current level of participation) unlimited free agency with the limited resources Universities have to pay players. It’s chaos until that is resolved.

Nebraska football like everyone else is trying to figure this out. Given the situation and next years schedule my expectations are low going forward.

I posted the spring game highlights here without comment but they were underwhelming. $2m seems like a stretch but if Stein wants him that bad and that’s the going rate then maybe we should have ponied up. Just seems like a lot to pay someone based on anecdotes that he was “close” to winning the job. For the record I thought Carrs spring highlights were much better. I seriously wonder if Minchey would’ve been 3rd string to start the year if Angeli didn’t portal to Syracuse
