In prep for my weekly piece, I decided to spent time watching the offense and what they did. I found that we ran the sprint option pretty effectively when we showed read, and we were on a rhythm with our jumbo set, pulling Piper, and running off tackle. Those were frequently reused plays. I also found that we are in max pass pro a lot when we pass, which makes sense, but it still doesn’t work all that well. What I saw was La Tech knowing that the trickiest thing they need to prepare for is... Read more

We decided to post a little early this week but will add any nugs Friday if there’s more. Random Nugs Hearing that Jeff Sims is in line to start this weekend. Hoping that he gets rolling and shakes off the nerves that Lincoln have clearly caused him to have. However - do not be surprised if HH also gets significant playing time. (This is not set in stone and I honestly would not be surprised if HH has a better last few days of practice this week and ends up starting. This is just what I... Read more

I turned 40 on Saturday. I had it in my head that the last time we played on my birthday, it was against Oregon and we won. I was going to do some research on games played on my birthday and see what the record was. “We beat UO last time so there’s a good chance we’ve never lost in my birthday!” Whelp, we played UO on the 17th. The last time we played on the 16th was when NIU beat us. And the time before that was the 28-10 loss to USC. I didn’t care to keep looking... Additionally, I’m on... Read more

Random Nugs I just learned there will be 60-70 recruits at this Saturday night’s game. I have no names yet. Already reported but confirmed again that Sims will be out this weekend. Negative news but I have to report it. Carter Nelson is at risk of flipping. We need to improve and improve now to keep him. WaterBoy Nuggets Team morale has been good and hasn’t changed since the start of fall camp. Everyone is bought in and not waivering from Rhule‘s process and how he is building the... Read more

I want to open with a public service announcement. If you are that weak of a person that you have to call out another human being who’s choosing to be reasonable or positive--that you want nothing more than for everyone else to be as miserable as you--please go back to whatever in your life makes you so pathetic and fuck off. Saturday Night Overreaction This section is meant to be sarcastic and excessive. It’s a rehashing of whatever drunken thoughts and feelings I may have had. It... Read more

I told you I'd do better, he sent me this last night. Complete with his signature line, enjoy my brethren: After watching this team scrimmage a few things became even more apparent to me. 1- I love the way coach Ruhle runs his practices which is physical, with ton of contacts, a whole lot of 1s vs 1s and a lot of coaching and development going on. This is something that Scott and Riley failed to do which showed on game days. You can not win at Nebraska by out-scheming every opponents and... Read more

(We decided to throw it back to the OG EPP image) @alt f4 baby update. Due date came and went, with no baby. She's getting evicted on Aug 24. Collegiate season still unsure. Water cooler thoughts from the WaterBoy We will unfortunately start with how bad the offense looked before last Saturday’s scrimmage. There was no WR that looked good and they all seemed to make mistakes. Betts quitting sucks because he was a special talent and Washington needs to get healthy soon. I'd put it at a... Read more

Special thanks to @Lionsfan93 for compiling this post of all of the Rhule information so far. Timeline 11/5 I will update this as more information comes available, but I’ve heard from 3 separate sources today and all were confident that this is solid information. Matt Rhule is set to become the next head coach, pending his final decision. All contracts were written and signed Thursday and sent over to Rhule’s team. It’s his job if he decides to take it, and it sounds like we are... Read more
