Agree to an extent however Rhules struggles against good teams isn’t just at Nebraska. It dates back his entire college coaching career.
That’s true. But I have always viewed that stat with a grain of salt because I believed it was skewed by the fact that he was taking over dog shit programs. But that excuse goes out the door in year 3 and year 4.
 
I just don't have it in me anymore. I am a basketball fan this time of year.

Never thought I'd lose the football obsession but seeing y'all whine this much over some portal news 3 days into the portal made me realize I just don't care as much as I used to.

We'll get the guys or we won't. Go Big fRed.
We probably won’t. Hence all the whining. It’s hard to just stop giving af with the football team but I’m with ya
 
Someone on RRS posted this morning that McKewon said on the radio this morning that we "like our RB room and likely won't be aggressive at that position in the portal." Anyone else hear that and can confirm.

Would be incredibly stupid IMO
even with improved line play, like REALLY improved line play, if we dont put a stud at QB or RB its going to be tough to stomach.

I thought they showed some good stuff in the bowl game, but now that the coaches got caught with their pants down at the QB position, they might want to think real hard about how they can become the best RTDB team in America

Or get fired

Time for me to stop being so "wait and see" and post something pessimistic.....

The entire portal strategy is confusing at this point.

We aren't going hard at......well.... anything.

At least it doesn't appear that way.

What is Pat's plan? Because it's not apparent to me.

Is it to wait for the other teams to blow their wad and then scoop up what remains? Because that seems where it's headed. Even the "visits" rumors seem to have dried up.

I guess I'm an outlier, but I don't think RB is a position of major need either.
 
Solid point.
People bring up the game he had in Lincoln because it's obviously the one we all watched. He did better in basically every other game. I mean against possible national champion Indiana he went 27/33 for 243 yards, 1 td and 0 int. AND ran for another 50. He has potential.
People seem to be forgetting his game in Lincoln was one of the most brutal winds I think you could ever play in. People looking for great QB stats that day are not being realistic. Scoring only occurred in one direction, and really any offensive output went one direction down the field.

I'd rather us go high ceiling FCS than P4 double retread like Chiles or Lagway. Between those 2 - I am definitely in on Chiles though, because at least he was brought to MichSt because he worked well with Jonathan Smith at the Beavs...

Almost all of their production came on the first few drives, Utah adjusted and they were back to being pretty average.
 


3 days from expected entrance to signature. Didn’t realize that was allowed. Doesn’t Mizzou know they should’ve offered him half the money and setup time for him to come to campus next week? What was the upper bound of their positional salary band for QB set by their GM before the portal opened?
