    Lundon Hampton- do we have a legit chance with this kid?

    I would say based on the fact he is from Michigan and that two Michigan schools AND Penn State are after him, that it is a longshot. but we have pulled a few rabbits out of the hat before. Just don't getyour hopes up, is what I am saying.

    It's the offseason, right?.......Would you be OK with this conference realignment?

    I am pining for the "old" days as much or moreso than any other football fan. I would love to see seven big boy conferences with 10 teams each, playing a ROUND ROBIN schedule to ensure a LEGETIMATE champion every year. they could play 1 or 2 marqee matchups interconference to add to TV...

    affirmative. you hit the nail on the head. Sooner or later it all comes down to money, andI think we all know that.

    30 former Ohio State football players join Dr Richard Strauss Sexual Abuse Lawsuit

    seems kind of strange that it has takenthis long to see the light of day. But if they have paid out $61 million so far, then there must be something to it. nothing like this really shocks me anymore.

    Starting OL: Trevor Lauck, Leighton Jones, Kade Pieper, Lucas Allgeyer, Jack Dotzler (Mike Myslinski out)

    yes, I am really hoping that young Mr. Fitzgibbon can be our hero, our breakout player on defense this year. While I am far from being an expert on anything that happens on Saturday afternoons, the distinct feeling I am getting from this message board is that the D-line, and the tackles more...

    Starting OL: Trevor Lauck, Leighton Jones, Kade Pieper, Lucas Allgeyer, Jack Dotzler (Mike Myslinski out)

    That is what I am ferventl hoping as well: that it will be a reload every year. It is a foregone conclusion that we will be losing a lot of guys prematurely to the NFL. Sometimes they surprise me and stay, but the more likely path is for them to leave early an we have to reload. but it...

    Chad Leistikow's Depth Chart heading into Fall Camp

    that's right, I had forgotten about Leighton Jones. So, in 2027 we should have two returning guards. The tackle spots and center will probably be something like Parliament, Leonarrd, and Winter, which seems like a lot of young talent but not a lot of game experience. I am not holding out...

    Chad Leistikow's Depth Chart heading into Fall Camp

    I would almost expect him to be a starting tackle in 2027. I know that that is a long ways away, but just going on what I hear and what we are losing on the O-line for next year. We have, what, one returning starter (Allgeyer) for 2027 from the 2026 O-line?

    I Will Be a Nebraska Fan in 2026; is anybody with me?

    well, sorry to disappoint you, but it is late April, the spring game is over, and we have to get some discussion going to fill the void before things get busy in August. And since Nebraska is our version of Neil Rogers (i.e., the man south Florida loves to hate) I cannot think of a more...

    I Will Be a Nebraska Fan in 2026; is anybody with me?

    At first blush this sounds very counterintuitive, but allow me to explain. Matt Ruhle showed signs of progress in 2025, IMHO, but still is kind of mediocre overall. Nebraska expects better, and there has to be some win-loss threshold that he meets in order to stay on as coach at a school...

    Why Did Emmett Johnson of Nebraska Fall to the 5th Round?

    I am not Mel Kipper or anybody likethat, but he seemed to me like one of the best backs in the Big 10 last year and a lot closer to the first round than the 5th. Does anybody know why? Perhaps I am still too traumatized still by that 80-yard end-around that he pulled on us early in last year's...

    NFL loves KF players

    That statistic is pretty damn amazing abd gratifying. I will never forget that video clip of Hayden Fry (probably somewhat early in his tenure) saying that "there are only five or maybe possibly six Iowa high school football players annually that are worthy of Division 1 scholarships."...

    NFL loves KF players

    sorry, I did not read the thread too well. Hopefully my high school will not be calling asking the diploma back.

    I would have expected florida and texas and California to be much higher.
