I was a Dylan fan until I heard that Papa Raiola demanded Rhule fire Dylan's QB coach. You expect prima donna players and prima donna parents at this level (that why coaches get paid to deal with it) but that one seriously crossed the line in my book. I also look back NOW at DR in a different...

Given their performance last week in black, I'm going to chalk up Oregon in black as equivalent to Nebraska wearing their 'surrender' all-whites. :thumbsup:

Well, Dante Moore is officially out, so for better or worse, we'll see Dylan Saturday.

Based on the near-universal reaction to Saturday's game time, my scientific research study suggests that we don't have many teenage or twentysomething fans posting here.

Like RR, I have early memories of listening to Lyell Bremser call Husker Football on KFAB on my Grandpa's lap on his tractor. But my true fandom didn't start until I'd earned my Life merit badge at 14 which allowed me to join the older boys from my Fairbury Boy Scout troop as a Husker Football...

I didn't question his analytics, but somewhere here today I said I'd punt the ball every time in that situation. This is Big Ten Football and playing for field position is the Big Ten thing to do. I was comparing your criticisms of Coach Matt to the same criticisms I once heard of Coach Tom...

The most remarkable thing about the ranking was that no Nebraska QB made the list. That’s when I noticed the list started in 2024, not 2023. Whew!

My money is on Dante coming back.

Okie dokie, Hunch. But back in the day, Nebraska fans would have said the same exact thing when asked to compare Coach Tom with conference rival coach, Barry Switzer. It would have been hard to argue with them. Barry had whupped Osborne five straight times, had won 2 natties, and sported a...

One of my pet peeves when it comes to Coach Rhule is his willingness in close games to go for it near midfield on fourth down instead of playing field position with a coffin-kick with a punter like Archie (who, btw, had a hell of a day on Saturday). When asked about it, Coach said his decision...

Honestly, I've never heard that take before, Crusader. But, thinking about it, It's VERY insightful. Something that blew me away when I first heard it was that Matt Rhule and Scott Frost are the same age. :huh: Maybe it's Rhule's gray hair, but I think of him as MUCH older than he...

Using this model, we're one of the top 11 teams in the nation.

When I hear folks blasting Matt Rhule for being a piss-poor coach compared to the sport's 'Greats,' I take it all in stride. One of the, ahem, few advantages of being an old time Husker fan is remembering how fans used to rail mercilessly against our now-anointed coaching legends. My first real...

Me thinks Huusker was being a teensie weensie bit sarcastic. :) When we WANT a night game (for our Blackout game vs Washington), I doubt we'll get one.

valiantsailor nailed it. :thumbsup: We're back to a level where we can say we've got ourselves a damn good team that can compete. As much of a gut-punch that yesterday was, I'll take it that kind of loss against the defending champs over the empty dull ache in my stomach I felt the day we lost...

Young man, do you want me to wash that filth mouth of yours with soap??!!??

THE BIG SWING. Colandrea breaks free for a touchdown. Memorial Stadium was rocking. The noise couldn’t have been louder. I knew if we could get a three and out or force them to punt after ticking off some clock, we were on the cusp of putting the defending champs away. Then a (blanking) missed...

My Dad was the same way, Uenth. But unlike your FIL, he never changed (at least outwardly). My Dad lived long enough to see Osborne get a Natty but his assessment never mellowed much. In the end, his take on TO was, "He ain't too bad." :)

I can remember pregame jitters before another big Husker game back in 1977. We weren't undefeated then--we'd gotten upset by Warren Powers' Washington State game in our home opener that year. But, like today, we were home underdogs against a Top Ten team led by a "Walks on Water" grizzled...

It's been a quiet couple of days. "The calm before the storm" I guess. I'm heading off early tomorrow for the wild pregame at the Railyard down in the Haymarket. (I don't give a crap about Fox's Big Noon crew outside the Student Union.) I'm expecting a really ramped up Sea of Red for...
