    Tater Island MASSIVE scoop

    HS FB coaches GITT... How prevalent is the rugby style punter in America HS football? I know a lot of CFB programs grab these guys from Australia, just curious if this is being taught at a lot of high schools. Or is this something punters learn in college?

    And so it begins...(tracking Coach Prime decommits/transfers)

    I forgot about that. That was actually a ranked team at the time. Though I think they finished 5-7

    What was Shadeur's biggest win?

    ***Official don’t buy any bullshit they try selling you, offseason thread***

    I think it's not a secret that NU has had athletes these past 7 years ... I think even casual fans know our problem has been STs and coaching. Which is funny bc I remember when Rhule was hired someone asked Tim Brando why Nebraska has struggled and he said "you just can't get good players to...

    ***Official don’t buy any bullshit they try selling you, offseason thread***

    There is a kernel of truth to the general sentiment though. NU under Frost (and Rhule so far) and FSU 2024....all those teams way underperformed their talent level. Specifically recruiting star level. Frost recruited in the top 25 final rankings IIRC. The record that corresponds with that is...

    If you were NU AD would you move on from Hoiberg?

    I'd keep Fred around for a yr 7. But you're not wrong. The big difference is the finishing in bottom 3 of the B1G. Everyone's like "if you fire Fred, the new guy might be worse." But if you're already 16th in the B1G and missing the B1G tournament, it can't get much worse. If he goes 16-18...

    If you were NU AD would you move on from Hoiberg?

    I think the yr 7 is deciding year. Fred's actually at the point in the movie Step Brothers when they're interviewing for a job with Seth Rogen. He thinks something is off with them but assumes they're being quirky on purpose. Then John C Reilly let's out like a 1-min fart and Rogen goes "now...

    If you were NU AD would you move on from Hoiberg?

    They are both "retain"....but I was attempting to separate the confidence votes from the 'actually he sucks but Nebrasketball' votes. I think Hoiberg would have been fired by now from probably 95% of P4 schools. I'm not sure how many P4 programs bring a guy with a conference winning percentage...

    If you were NU AD would you move on from Hoiberg?

    I think you can explain away those first 3 years with excuses/explanations like "COVID" and "FH re-assimilating to CBB" and "FH had to learn NIL era" etc.... I think it looks explainable after last season where we did well and made the NCAA tourney. It looks completely different after you miss...

    What would you do if you were Troy Dannen?

    Are the Huskers always going to be a 5,6, or 7 win team or will they actually get to 9 or 10+ in 2025?

    I'm thinking 10-2 CFP team. Here's the deal: money will start to = success. Nebraska is a top 15 money team (I think) with a top 10 QB. They should be in the CFP. We're seeing this with basketball. In hoops Nebraska is a 12-15 level in Big Ten NIL team. And guess what? We perform in the 12-15...
