    (OT: Football) The Roster

    Not recruiting or landing the right NE kids also has played a roll. I believe the last Husker from a NE HS to get selected in the NFL draft was Andy Janovich back in 2016. He was recruited by Bo - that means the last 3 coaches have failed to recruit and/or develop a NFL draft worthy NE kid...

    83 Carries

    No doubt the most unproven RB room in my 50+ years of following Husker FB. Hopefully someone steps up and shines.

    Game One: Vs Ohio. What score do you need to see to feel good?

    NU has only scored 40+ a few times in the Rhule era and those were games against very weak noncon opponents. Bobcats are better than that. Plus so many unknowns with our offense. I also agree the spread is too high and don't think we'll score enough to cover. Will be happy to win and very...

    What is your level of engagement?

    And at a substantially lower cost than Rhule. Vigen's base salary at MSU is $295K, while Rhule has a few extra zeroes involved in his contract.

    OT - POS Gets another B1G job

    Shocker is apparently Wisconsin actually does think Eichorst is good and Barry didn't refer him to sabotage NU as we all thought. I guess Bo won't be replacing Fickell.

    RB1

    Sounds like he scratched her up pretty good. They released a new mugshot of Nelson

    TO's offense = Identity

    Does OSU = Okie St? TO's career record against the Cowboys was 22-0-1.

    TO's offense = Identity

    The last sentence has been our problem - what has our offense done consistently well against P5 teams in recent years? The face of the team the past 2 years was a passing QB who was at risk of getting sacked 50% of the times he dropped back, and was zero threat to run. We had our first AA...

    TO's offense = Identity

    Agreed. Osborne figured out the offensive identity incorporating a duel threat QB much quicker than he figured it out on the defensive side. His defenses worked great through the 80s against run focused Big 8 schools, just not against the Miami's and Florida States with all that WR speed and...

    TO's offense = Identity

    We saw first hand what TO's offense looked like without TO running it or overseeing player recruitment/development. It centered around Jammal Lord improvising and running for his life behind a declining offensive line. If anyone could have duplicated what TO did, it should have been the guy...

    NU portal players - 247 rankings

    95% might be too low. I'm struggling to to think of any good examples of the other 5%.

    MyHomey... my goodness. Cool half a billion extension

    Does the hyperinflation of NFL quarterback salaries ever end? 20 years ago, Peyton Manning signed a record breaking contract getting about $14 mil/year - Mahomes new deal is close to 5x that. QB legends like Staubach, Bradshaw, Tarkenton made less than $2 mil in their entire playing careers...

    OT: Kitchen Cabinets

    Of course there are contractors that do a great job at a reasonable cost and don't need you looking over their shoulder, but there are plenty that are not like that. For as much as it costs to outsource work to contractors today, if you don't adopt a trust-but-verify approach, its not a matter...

    OT: Kitchen Cabinets

    Getting home improvement work done has turned into such a conundrum - particularly as contractor pricing goes higher and higher. Do it yourself and save some big $ while sucking the life out of your free time, or pay contractors big $ and then still have to supervise them like a hawk to make...
