Makes me wonder if EJ went to the coaches and either A. Asked they didn't bring in a portal RB in this winter. Or B a guarantee that he was given 1st team guaranteed.

EJ was the lead back for a few games late in the season for a 6-6 team. He was weighing the risk of competing with Parker (5.9/4*, number 6 RB recruit) and any RB(s) from the portal vs. moving on. In this scenario, he could possibly end up RB4 instead of competing with Dowdell for carries. He decided the risk wasn't worth it.

That's true. RB is also one of those positions that usually a guy after 1 year you figure out if he's the GUY or not. Sometimes earlier. Emmet's good but he's not about to turn into Ahman Green or anything.

For all we know they were already planning on giving someone like Nelson most of the carries in the bowl game. Rhule already said he's treating the bowl like the first game of next season. If EJ spent the last week seeing Nelson getting more carries with the 1s then his departure is understandable. I personally can't wait to watch the bowl to see some of the younger guys on the field.

Does anyone know anything about Mekhi Nelson? He apparently had a relationship with EJ Barthel before Barthel came here. He had offers from UConn, UMass and Bowling Green. I'm wondering if he and Ives will be 105 roster causalities.

According to Benning. Mekhi Nelson was the player DH said could help us a couple weeks ago. I bet we see him in the Bowl Game.

True, but we haven't even had "good" in a while.

This is why I don’t trust Rhule to turn this around. Too much blind loyalty to a bum like Satterfield.
Rhule’s predecessors at both Temple and Baylor outperformed Rhule at each respective stop

I don’t trust Rhule to turn NU around because he’s never done it in his entire .500 career

If Ryan day was born on 3rd base and thinks he hit a triple, Rhule was born in the dugout and tells people he hit a homerun

It really destroys the whole "coaches know more than some guy on the internet" deference.

That’s not according to EJ, it’s what happened
RB for whatever reason wasn’t getting the snaps he wanted. Podcaster trying to stir up interest in his podcast gives account of what EJ supposedly said. That’s chickenshit. EJ needs to go on the air and say those things if that’s what he thinks. Taking the word of some clown podcaster who says he “WOULD DIE FOR THiS PROGRAM “ is just foolish.

What happened? He didn’t set himself apart in practice. That’s the bottom line. This is a hatchet job and I’m certainly no fan of Satt.
Practice?

EJ has been by far the most productive back of the Rhule tenure

There isn’t a close 2nd place

Plays his balls off

Satt is a braindead waste of oxygen and I haven’t even listen to that clip yet

He should have been fired a long time ago. If this info is true, Rhule needs to make a statement.

It's not, look who posted it. That guy is a clown who has stirred up **** at every turn and then moved on to the next identity. He used to go by "HuskerJuan" and pretended to be a Hispanic grad student.

But still, Satt should be gone because of his coaching. Not because of this fairy tale.

Carriker corroborating, it appears

I’m not sure (just kidding) why people wouldn’t believe this when Dana flat out said our offense was a joke and coaches were playing favorites

It’s the offseason and head-up-*** time, I understand, but people don’t really forget what actually happens on the field under these dopes

Microscopes are out, honeymoon’s over.

In 24 games has Rhule won a single challenge?
