The first National Signing Day has come and gone, and it appears Nebraska got nothing but surprises in a good way yesterday. I still remember signing day flips such as Travis Lewis leaving us at the altar for Oklahoma, Andrus Peat for Stanford, Jean-Baptiste getting a snow delay at school and giving enough time for OhioContinue reading “Evaluating The Recruiting Class and My Terrific 10”

Our QB Room (Lack Of)
At the end of last week, I was close to writing an article about how screwed up our quarterback room is going to be in 2024 and probably again in 2025. We could get in a very difficult situation with almost no one in the QB room for a second straight year (thus my TravoltaContinue reading “Our QB Room (Lack Of)”
The Raiola and McCord Situation
Yesterday the Husker Twitter-verse went into a frenzy as we were all geeked up to have Kyle McCord visit from Ohio State to be our transfer QB that would get us to a bowl game for 2024. Then all of a sudden Steve Wiltfong said “hold my beer” and came with this bomb Let’s goContinue reading “The Raiola and McCord Situation”
The Portal QB Dilemma, Why you can’t just develop for 2024, and Nebraska’s portal entries so far
The college football transfer portal opened for non grad transfers yesterday, and we have seen a flurry of players rush to officially enter their name (grad transfers could enter sooner). It’s a wild time I hate, because it’s like high school recruiting on steroids. Every QB that goes in we get an analysis on whyContinue reading “The Portal QB Dilemma, Why you can’t just develop for 2024, and Nebraska’s portal entries so far”
Nebraska and the QB Transfer Portal
For what appears to be the third season in a row, Nebraska will be looking for their starting QB in the transfer portal. A sad state of affairs and development has been going on at that position in Lincoln. After all, the guy that started a majority of our games at that position in 2023Continue reading “Nebraska and the QB Transfer Portal”
Season Thoughts So Far and Transfer QB Talk (Again)
First, my apologies for the radio silence. Work has gotten so hectic end of year, and high school football is finally over. I’m not super important, but some of you have asked. Hopefully will be able to pick things back up again here. I didn’t proofread so apologies in advance! My thoughts on the seasonContinue reading “Season Thoughts So Far and Transfer QB Talk (Again)”
Do we take a transfer QB
Yesterday we went over where we are so far in the season, and the numerous reasons we are 3-3 (for better or worse). One of the biggest reasons we are where we are right now is due to QB play. The transfer QB we brought in to start was the active leader in turnovers forContinue reading “Do we take a transfer QB”
My Opinion So Far
We are at the midway point of the first year under Head Coach Matt Rhule, and we are sitting at 3-3. For those of you that read my season preview, I had us at 3-3 heading into the bye week and ending at 6-6 to get to our first bowl game since 2016. While IContinue reading “My Opinion So Far”
2023 Preview: Illinois
Yes, I’m well aware that I didn’t do a Michigan recap. What did you want from me, to just post a gif of a dumpster fire? That game pretty much went the way I said it would in the preview, except all my concerns were magnified by 10. Many people were celebrating Haarberg and hisContinue reading “2023 Preview: Illinois”
What The Opponent Is Saying: Michigan
For our first installment of our conference “What the Opponent is Saying” where we ask an opponent how they see the game going from their side. Special thanks to SwankyWolverine, please go give him a follow! How do you feel the season has gone so far? Its hard to be upset with 4-0 and the #2Continue reading “What The Opponent Is Saying: Michigan”
