We'll have to see how it ends up. But one day I would like to feel like they are playing chess not checkers.
Damn. This hurts more than losing Davis.
Feel like they’re playing connect 4 tbh
Keona leaving is a bigger loss than most think.
Played a ton as a young player out of position with a poor coach. Nebraska invested a lot of playtime into a guy who will likely play his best ball elsewhere. Feels like another Princewill.

Or they didn’t want anybody Nebraska had. Seems like they were right about that.
I will say I am surprised by the amount of overall discontent with our portal so far.
I’m sure a lot of it has to do with lots of commits announcing today, but there’s still a long ways to go.
Get a few more commits announced for us and I’m thinking it’ll die down a bit.
Yeah I don't know if you guys saw it but while Cignetti was prepping for Oregon yesterday they had 13 portal guys visiting.
Other than Keona i dont think anyone will be upset with the departures.
Not even getting a visit out of our new DCs former DL studs is a abject failure though. Huge position of need and couldnt get a visit
I’m disappointed in what appears to me as Nebraska either A) refusing to play the game or B) not able to play the game properly when it comes to player acquisition over the past few years, not just this current.
Nebraska calls itself a blue blood, says they have the best fan base in America and acquires talent at a Kansas St level.
The excuse of “well they have more money” or “well they are the hot team right now” shouldn’t be acceptable. Does Nebraska want to compete or not? You can not compete with this type of talent acquisiton.
Seems to me Nebraska is stuck between wanting to be Cockeye or Texas Tech and isn’t good at either
He was a hot commodity that had no interest in going to Texas Tech until they put a number in front of his agent that made him become interested in Texas Tech. That was the point of the comment I made - apologize if it wasn’t clear in how I laid it out
Based on results were the equivalent of the Cubs. Top overall revenue, best fan base that travels that you could ask for, best facilities. Poor AD historically, poor investment and selection of coaches, to soft and tight following the rules handicaps the program.
Look back at when TO took over as interim AD. He said coaching salaries where to high and selected a cheap option in Pelini vs the best we could get. It’s been fuck up after fuck up with the same crowd running the show for decades. It’s a cash cow money maker that is halfa$$ed in a number of areas.
It’s clear we just need to do that to get things halfway back in order. Boosters aren’t on board and when they do begrudgingly raise their commitment levels those have already been surpassed three years prior.
Do you know who Penn State has coming back at OG? They had a pretty good OL, IDK, but they may already have their starters at OG.
I get it, Tech has the Double Eagle guys footing the bill.
But Tech recognized that they aren’t in a desirable location and overpaid guys to get there. McGuire isn’t some great mastermind. They just built him a roster.
Nebraska is building a roster like Cockeye and Minnesota and then getting out coached by Ferentz and Fleck.
He’s a loss if he isn’t replaced with similar quality and similar or less dollars. He is another hole to fill who may have panned out and they had dumped a ton of time and money into.
