There are smart fans on there talking about how Rhule is not gonna be happy with (a) the player who leaked this and (b) Will for tweeting it.
Genius level stuff. I can't believe Rhule didn't see that player in full pads taking his cell phone out and filming his whole HT speech. Said player was even panning from side to side to get individual reactions, & doing hard and soft focuses, can't believe no one saw it.
Rhule will have to be more attentive next time. Hopefully he finds out which player shot this video in full and then leaked it.

Im a lifelong panther fan and any panther fan blaming rhule in 2025 is a certified dumbfuck lol. Our 2 best players are Rhule draft picks and they still cant figure out that its the dipshit owner who tanked it with meddling and bad choices

Step 1: Label the weekly "What the B1G is saying" thread as TOP SECRET NUGS.
Step 2: Watch as Dipshit Dittman "leaks" the next opponent's fanbases insults into the public ether.
Step 3: Inform Dipshit Dittman that Rhule would like to hear more nugs from where these came from.
Step 4: Inform Rhule that Dipshit Dittman leaked the Akron Week info to the public.
Step 5: Set up rendevouz for the two in Cornhusker Hotel basement. BCC Jason Peter on the invite.

I sort of like it when grown men are petty like that for good reason.
Never shit talk and never embarrass someone and think it cannot come back to bite you in the ass.

It's really weird.
I mean we're bent about Frost, but Panther fans go out of their way to weasel into Nebraska social media.

I used to like Andy and Ari but these clowns will do anything to bait Nebraska fans for clicks and views

I was just gonna post this.
Andy is making a joke that this is not "leaked" in any way. If it was leaked it wouldn't have bleeps in it and video panning and hard and soft focuses on players, etc. It's obviously carefully curated and put out by UNL. This is different than actual leaks - like the one from Kirby or the one from Pelini. That's all Andy is saying.
Our NU fans (who aren't always the smartest) are attacking Andy in the replies for an "anti Nebraska" tweet. It's not. They just didn't get the joke.
Andy is very fair towards Nebraska, so this is a bit cringeworthy that our fans are attacking him over this.

I do agree with everything you said. I just don’t respect them for using us more than any other program for engagement farming.
I do not blame him though because Nebraska fans on twitter are softer than baby shit.

Maybe he should have reworded it to "Leaked Bo Pelini speeches didn't have bleeps."

We're lucky because we have an amplification system that broadcasts all of our propaganda out to the world (thank you Will).
Cockeye doesn't have this. Oklahoma doesn't have this. Etc
If we want our program to be marketed across the CFB universe, then you have to be man enough to take people commenting on your shit.

That would have been funnier.
I do think he worded it poorly. It read as a "SEC is better than the B1G" type of tweet... but it wasn't that.
He was saying this is propaganda and obviously not a real leak.
It was worded poorly and I think a lot of people didn't get the joke. But hey he's not a comedy writer.

Totally serious response to this though: (and I'm a whiskey in tonight, so pardon the length and embellishment)
This is a nice antidote to some of the fanbases' emotional misgivings with what they have seen so far. You can look at it as Rhule saying "I see you". The OL and DL issues? Rhule's not oblivious to it. As far as recruitment and talent goes, we're effectively stuck with what we've planted for the season. Yeah, you might be short a couple ideal components, but so far most teams beyond a select few have a roster that are in similar boats with some missing reliable pieces. We can keep playing this game of "This team got X in the portal, why couldn't we get that?" But what did we get that the other team doesn't have? We have our acquisitonal wins. And we have our near misses. So do most teams. It makes sense we might still be missing a component or two though. We're not backed by Phil Knight unfortunately.
Michigan could totally make this post one to respond back to with receipts in a few weeks, but we have a 5-star sophomore QB who is so far acing his girdiron exams this season, even if it's a small sample size. Michigan is going through their own growing pains with a true freshman 5-star QB. But did they go into this season willing to put up with those developmental snags? Even when Dave Portnoy and Oracle's ex-CEO Ellison are willing to shove a shit ton of NIL money to get their ideal candidate? They didn't feel the need to portal a more experienced and reliable QB to mitigate any true freshman stumbles? Portnoy judges his pizza by the first bite. How does that new nibble in Norman taste to him?
I see this as Rhule knows what he has, and what he knows needs to get better. Fall camp is over. We're in season. Transfer portal isn't an option to fix things at this point. The ingredients list is set. But now he's putting his best pressure on the team to try and turn the pieces of roster that still resemble coal and hoping to develop them closer to diamonds as the season moves on. There's no Mike Riley "Hip hip hooray"s for simply winning a game. There's no pointing the finger and not the thumb, beyond his press conference appraisals that is merely for public digestion. Rhule sees the same stuff we see. Whether we arrived at this point is due to some mismanagement or a myopic view on his 2024 to 2025 roster, or simply money limitations is up for debate. Whether that insight means we clear all hurdles set forward this season is yet to be seen. Admittably, there is potential we could be fucked. It's what we're used to after all.
But it's nice to see we have a coach that actually gives a damn about the margins, and if the last two off seasons are any indications, he'll likely gravitate towards the proper priorities to correct through portal, development, or other after this season.
In the meantime, when things get fucked sideways, we can scream in the stadium or at the tv screen, or throw our remote or beverage container into the TV and continue screaming into the void that the dark monolith of a now-defunct viewing appratus presents us instead of a live game feed, but we can also understand that Rhule is a Cornhusker conduit likely screaming our frustrations directly into the faces of the players responsible. Probably more eloquently than us. He's the son of a minister after all. But he brings the fire and brimstone to where the team will hopefully Mongo-punch the Horsemen of the Apocalypse on their asses Blazing Saddles style.

I’ve been hard on Rhule but I’ll give credit where it’s due this is exactly what I wanted to see.
Hope we drop 100 on the Houston Bible Thumpers

This was a great HT speech by Rhule. We played a great half of ball against a far inferior opponent. That is not nearly enough.
This was effective - we came out and even the deep subs were out there on a mission in the 2nd half. If we want to be great again, you don't get there by one nice half against Palooka State. You EXPECT to not only win these games, but to obliterate the opposition, even when the backups are in.
The next step is doing it again next week. Then going out and beating Mich the following game. EXPECT to win. Play angry, play like anything besides kicking the opponents ass is a let down.
This was good stuff. And going by the looks on the players faces, it put into focus exactly what they need to do every damn qtr of ball if they expect to be great again.
