    The “Sellout Streak” in jeopardy?

    We are on an extended 4 month visit here, and building a home in Hua Hin. (Right now set to be a part time home, but that could change).

    The “Sellout Streak” in jeopardy?

    Scott Shanle looking like a genius. I wasn't happy with him going publicly negative after the hire was made - and still feel that way. But I'd run the next hire by him first, just saying... By the way, just want to say I appreciate being able to see this forum today from Thailand. Getting by...

    SEC trying to poach AC?

    "I don't think that's a good narrative for us to have out there that he doesn't have enough support," Rhule said. "I don't think that's good for our players. And not good because he's already got SEC schools calling him. I don't want Nebraska people to start saying that, because that's happened...

    Sunday Morning Thoughts - Post Oregon

    It might be worthwhile to review the S&C. I see a team getting gassed in the 4th quarter with lines melting out front.

    When did you start to follow college football?

    Wow - also the 1969 season - but the end of it - the Sun Bowl against Georgia. My uncle who is only 4 years older bet Georgia would beat Nebraska. I didn’t know anything about football, though I was 10 by the end of that season. We moved to Minnesota the next year, and watched from afar...

    Sunday Morning Thoughts - Post Indiana

    Hunchie and Doc Pretty much summed up my thoughts. I actually felt good about our chances going in. When I woke up in the wee hours here in Thailand and checked the score, I almost believed we had it in the bag. the recruiting is there, but the coaching isn’t, and the game management has...

    Super Official Huskers vs Hoosiers Game Week Thread

    Hopefully, we don't end up being the best 5-7 team in the country.

    Troy Dannen rumblings

    Well, to be fair, I don't think anyone controls the rumor circuit. I don't know if TD is interested in ISU, or looking to leave, or if everything is peachy-clean. What I do know is a rumor and a denial are about as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle...

    Sunday Morning Thoughts -- Post Bowling Green

    I’m in Thailand for the season, so all I see are post game highlights. So far, this team reminds me of late 90s K-State. They’ll get a chance to play some real teams real soon. The next game is at least a reasonable warmup for the NFL-adjacent gauntlet to follow. I predicted this would be the...

    $600m Stadium Renovation....

    I understand your point. I'm taking at face value the stated intention to make much MORE use of the stadium "year round," as was described in the stadium improvement project announcement. That said, The issue of too many fingers in the pot (along with boiling egos) is likely to outlive me...

    $600m Stadium Renovation....

    I suspect that the reason for abandoning grass has a lot to do with the imperative of using the stadium for much more than just football games. It would be difficult to impossible to maintain a turf field like that when crowds and performers are continuously walking and dragging equipment off...

    Rhule's coaching staff

    Well, when you have 200 coaches on staff, the law of averages is that someone is always coming or going.

    What are we even doing anymore

    Of course, I'm Rooting for Rhule. The multiple staffing issues are a bit of a concern, but hell, if Callahan had just fired one guy, he might still be coaching Nebraska. That said, it's the numerous in-game head scratching moments that give me pause. I mean, the guy has a gigantic staff and...

    What are we even doing anymore

    I sometimes with the Huskers would drop to FCS so I could root for them enthusiastically again. I find myself drawn to SDSU and Montana…

    RIP Jim Hartung

    A friend and Fraternity brother, who was not only a dedicated athlete, but who had a great sense of humor and who was really a regular guy. Hadn’t seen him in decades until I took a side trip to Lincoln about 3-4 years ago. He was still Jim, but years of health battles physically diminished...

    I need honest, non-placating opinions... please

    Well, if you want to make it into a Husker Jeep, you should paint it red, give it a salt bath, then run it into a ditch and leave it sitting there for another 25 years…
