Thanks to all who shared in this thread. Fun to look at this stuff.

Hohl is injured or did I misread that? When is Alvanno supposed to be back to 100%?

We are cursed at kicker. Nebraska high schools should go the way of 6 man....kicking the XP is worth more.

we need some nugs to reaffirm my belief that we go to the CFB playoff this year

Both are still in their red practice jerseys, which hopefully is a good sign. But Hohl was on the bike yesterday and I might have missed it but I haven't seen any updates on Alvano.

Lack of nugs because we're more focused & dialed in than all those previous years where we got nugs. No surer sign that we're CFP-bound.

What's ironic about the Nebraska element of this comment is there have been plenty of decent kickers from Nebraska who have gone elsewhere the last few years. This program can't seem to evaluate a kicker to save their life.

Cockeye on the other hand, seems to find the best kicker, punter, and punt returner in the country every God Damn Year.

This is the kind of shit we need to leverage our relationship with Addidas for more often. Doesn't cost us much and gets top flight talent here to see that we're not just a freaking cornfield. Getting past that perception is probably our biggest hurdle.

Maybe they do and I don't know about it but you would think between Battle and Adidas they would have some kind of big tournament every year. I don't know the legalities of it but if they could have it on campus it would be a good way to show off the facilities and the multiple practice fields.

Robinson in the second round #57 to the Panthers.

Fidone at #147 to the 49ers.

Tommi Hill at #205 to the Commanders?

Looks like Quinn Clark solidified his spot on the 105 ☠️

I’m really struggling with the quote feature right now. I selected multiple posts but can’t get them…

Thoughts after reading through:

1. Dylan losing 5 pounds doesn’t seem like much nor does he look different to me. Seems like the media is all just agreeing to say positive things there to help the narrative.

2. Tim said “nickel” when talking about our fifth DB. The last two years our terminology was a bit all over the place but we didn’t run nickel. We ran right and left safeties (they stayed on their side of the field) who both had coverage responsibility for their side. Nickel would indicate someone is switching sides to be a cover guy. Also, sometimes we referred to our rover as the free safety but both terms referred to Gifford.

3. The video of Brix and Knutson sort of looked like a special Olympics try out. Yeesh.

4. We should be worried about our defense next year. There is a ceiling that is probably higher than it was in ‘24 but the floor is much much lower. The DBs and DL could be worse and those tend to have a compounding impact on the overall performance. Going into last year I thought we’d have a drop off into the 50s in defensive rankings but we didn’t. I’m going to re-predict that again this year and hope for the same outcome.

5. Very excited to see what the offense will do. Fewer 3&O’s and more points is exactly what the defense needs.

And offer the kids a dip in the recovery pool at the end of the day.
