There are no redshirts anymore. They'll have to think of a name for a 5th year senior.
Super Official Nebraska vs Ohio Game Week Thread.

So if they opt to go by years in the program versus academic class standing or automatically cycling them through the class standings as as each season goes by...
1st Year = True Freshman
2nd Year = Redshirt Freshman
3rd Year = Sophomore
4th Year = Junior
5th Year = Senior????
I expected an "OR" but Stoudmire is listed as the clearcut #1. Given this development, I have a theory why Rhule is not announcing his single digit jersey recipients before the first game like he has all the previous seasons.
I suspect the reason is because RVP has lost his single digit and he didn't want the media making a big deal about it leading up to the first game.
With the jersey recipients being identified during the Ohio game, it won't get the same level of attention. Anyhoo, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it---uh, until I'm proven wrong.
The amount of unchecked spambots overrunning this place in November will be WIIIIIIIILD!As long as there is no late season collapse...
Sorry Mods and Admins, but I just couldn't help doing a little
not really
Mrs. Fumble doesn't.
I told a friend a couple weeks ago that my gut is telling me "THIS is the season!" The wifey overheard me and stole my thunder by dryly adding that I've said the same thing every year since 1999.
It was really annoying. You'd think the law of averages will work in my favor this time around.
The term Redshirt no longer applies. As such, they are not attaching the term to any "year."
Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, 5th.
Another takeaway from Rhule's Monday presser:
He announced that he's returning to his previous long-standing policy of no season-long team captains.
I had decided long before Monday that his announcement on the issue -- either way -- would tell us A LOT about last season.
IF COACH ANNOUNCED CAPTAINS. This would've told me that he had finally, by Year 3, bought into Nebraska's historical 'Team Captains' culture.
IF COACH ANNOUNCED NO SEASON-LONG CAPTAINS. This would tell me
that he felt pressured into doing it last season in order to "Keep Dylan Happy." No more Dylan? It would be back to the old way--which is what we're doing.
For the record, I would've been fine with it either way. GO BIG RED.
