    When did you start to follow college football?

    Great story RR. You epitomize what it is to be a true Husker fan!

    Huskers Rhule

    Fair enough Doc. As I pointed out, my criticisms are directed at a coach with a career winning percentage of 53 leading a blueblood program. Coach Osborne was being criticized for not beating one specific coach and program that was implementing NIL type behavior 50 years before it was legal. :)...

    When did you start to follow college football?

    Damn, we're all around the same age and started watching around the same time. I was 5 years old in 1969 when my dad was stationed at Offutt for a second time. We lived in Omaha from 69 to 73 and our entire family has been hooked on Cornhusker football ever since! We have been back in New...

    Celebrating 25 Years of BHF

    Well said ramelbm. I too left the NFL for good about 10 years ago. I honestly think I'm still clinging to college football because of BHF. Each of the two last off seasons I find myself sickened by all the talk about player salaries, what can we afford, and who can we pick up in the portal. Then...

    Huskers Rhule

    In today's presser Coach Matt said the 4th and 9 on the wrong side of the 50-yard line with 6 minutes to play he was simply following the analytics. He wasn't challenged at all, but what analytics conclude that is the right call? It looked like panic to me, but I've never claimed to be a great...

    Sooo...now we are comparing Matt to Coach Osborne? Or Coach Switzer? I honestly don't understand the correlation. Osborne was 96-24-2 his first 10 years as a head coach. Switzer was 98-17-3. If you want to give an honest assessment and comparison of where Coach Rhule stands in the pantheon of...

    Huskers Rhule

    The Chesney comment was a throwaway line meant to get your attention, Doc. It worked. If you are comparing Coach Matt and his 71-63 record as a college coach to Cignetti and his 85-11 record at JMU and Indiana, I'm going to pound the gavel and pronounce "Case Dismissed." Please don't bring up...

    I get all that, speen. There are numerous metrics to suggest this team is different, but I still think it was all circumstantial. Doc Fum described it better than I ever could. It was the perfect trap game to restore order, and still the Huskers found a way to blow it. Believe me, I want...

    Oh, I think we have a pattern, Uenth. Nebraska has lost 31 games in a row to ranked opponents and is 0-11 under Coach Matt. Coincidentally, Matt is 2-26 against ranked opponents in his 10-year college coaching career. We definitely have a pattern, or two, or three.

    I agree with this because Colandrea is the X Factor. We have upgraded the QB position immensely with him at the controls. What I know for sure about this year's Huskers is that we are the best team in the MAC, and we are better than at least 4 teams in the B1G (Maryland, Rutgers, Michigan St...

    Our only hope is maybe Colandrea's moxie can overRhule Matt's insecurity.

    Super Official Huskers Duck Hunt Game Week Thread

    I'm afraid this game is setting up very much like Penn State and Minnesota last year. Oregon, a team struggling to find their way, will finally wake up at home and lay the wood to the wounded Huskers.

    Husker fans know from the Bo Pelini Era when a coach begins a statement with "At the end of the day..." nothing good will come from it. That one stupid statement from Rhule could wreck this season. I wouldn't be surprised if Coach Aurich tells Matt, "Hey coach, we need to talk." "We held the...

    Huskers Rhule

    It can happen to any team at any time, but it DOES happen to Nebraska. Every single time. I watched UCLA v Oregon yesterday, and in a game that looked eerily similar to Nebraska v Indiana, UCLA, despite dominating for 3.5 quarters, did everything in their power to give that game away against a...

    Tidbits from the post-game presser. "We should have called a timeout." Who, Matt? Who should have called a timeout? You're the head coach. I used to chuckle at Mickey Joseph's go to line in post-game pressers "It's on me. It's on me." whenever things would go wrong. Now I get it. "At the end...
