Who dis?

Colin Amick, Montana. Didn’t give up a sack last season (per Tim) at RT

 

[Kinish]

Two threads
- Port Hole Discussion...for obvious reasons.
- Portal News

2nd would be the most boring thread of all time

I just don't know if these kids are signing deals while they are on campus or not. If not, it will certainly become an issue.

Yeah I dont know either. Is it even valid until they enroll in classes. Have to admit, I’m in the dark here on rules.

…which will eventually get cancelled when they commit to Texas Tech

Good luck! There are a lot of binary thinkers on this board, and specifically in this thread.

People are just looking for any reason to bitch about Rhule at this point. If you’ve convinced yourself that Rhule is a lost cause then you’re going to spin everything to fit that narrative. I would refer to it as Kong Syndrome.

After Black what are the other portal needs?

• 4-6 DL/DE
• 1-2 LB
• 1-2 WR
• OT
• Another QB
• 1-2 Safeties
• RB

I don’t think we ca afford it because of what we are paying him but I wish we could get two OTs. I think Pritchett needs to get pushed by another player, I’m not completely sold on him.

It’s not really saying much, but I thought outside of EJ, he was probably one of the better players on offense in the latter half of the season.

Can you imagine if NU had a billionaire like @CodyC64 , more than willing to open his wallet? How much fun would this time of year be?

.1% of Buffets liquid net worth would fix EVERYTHING

I swore on a sports nightly in the last month Dannen stated we would have over 30 million to spend on football in 2026...maybe I am dreaming

Yes but that is with an estimated $15mm in rev share. The remaining $15mm is covered by the shift of the media deal to NIL and Adidas and others. Problem even with that number is that the top teams had $30mm+ rosters BEFORE rev share kicked in. NIL shortfall was discussed in 2025 and I think the consensus was NU was trailing the top NIL schools by $15-$20mm. Based on the roster talent and Rhule’s slow building, plus not high level hs talent this makes sense to me.

So conceivably we’re currently $10-15mm off the current pace likely more. I may have misunderstood and am a big dumb animal however that is my gorilla math.

Cliffs anyone?

I’ll have to go back and try and rewatch some games 🤢

After getting ejected from the Minnesota game he played well the rest of the season. Very low penalties and did a good job holding down the left side.

It's only embarrassing if you haven't been paying attention and/or you are a completely fucking idiot.

Texas Tech has proven that 1) they are willing to outspend anyone and everyone for portal players they want - they targeted White as a top priority. On top of that, they also have a proven track record of taking portal players and them having tremendous success.

Lastly - players don't follow their coaches all the time! Remember last year when Tony White left for FSU - Princewell ended up transferring to Ole Miss. The majority of our defensive players that left ended up at other schools than FSU.

Don't be so simple minded...

It’s possible I overreacted

 

[Fargo Husker]

Cliffs anyone?

[Kinish]
