Looks like he is on track to join KC in 2016 or 2017. The kid is an amazing athlete, and the article says his defense is major league ready. I am sure the Royals hope Bubba will be able to move into the starting CF role in 2018, as Lorenzo Cain is signed through 2017 and will probably get big...

http://www.si.com/college-football/2016/02/17/big-ten-college-football-2015-lessons Did NU really learn this? I think Newby can be a solid back, but I don't know if he can be leaned on for a heavy work load in 2016.

The discussion about the possible transfer from Tulane coming to NU, and why Riley is even looking at him. I don't know if that Tulane kid is going to come to NU, let alone beat out Pat O'Brien in 2017. But, I think he could be a solid, veteran backup QB, even if he ends up with 1 year of...

With a lot of talk about recruiting, and a lot of people having "fond" memories of Callahan's amazing class of 2005, I thought it would be good to re-visit that Callahan class of 2005. I am going to use Rivals star rankings Harrison Beck -- 4-stars -- supposed to be the QB of the future, did...

I don't have a link for a podcast yet, but Mike'l Severe's The Bottom Line radio show is having a round table discussion on NU football. The panel includes Joe Ganz, Sam McKewon, Dirk Chatelain, and Jon Nyatawa. I think that's a pretty fair group of observers on the season, and they give their...

I saw a comment about Johnny Stanton doing well at JUCO this year on another board, so I thought I would post it here. I am not saying he didn't get a fair chance at NU, but I am happy that he is prospering at Saddleback College in California. He left NU in a classy manner...

I have seen a lot of posts from people giving A LOT of credit to Mark Banker for making adjustments and improving the D. Yes, the Blackshirts did play well against Rutgers and Iowa, to me, 2 games isn't a trend. If it is, why did it take 10 games for Banker to finally make necessary...

Now that the regular season is over, I thought it would be good to give out grades for the entire coaching staff. Mike Riley - Head Coach - F - As the head coach, he's ultimately graded on the win-loss record. A 5-7 record, no matter how many close losses, deserves an F. Adding to the poor...

I don't think Mike Riley is a very good football coach, but he appears to be a genius retirement planner. 1. At the end of the 2014 season, Oregon State had just finished 5-7 under Riley, with a 4-year starting QB at the helm. Riley knew his team was going to be terrible in 2015, and there...

SCREW UP!!! And that's what Nebraska did against Iowa. They royally screwed up. So despite nearly doubling Iowa's yardage, NU never seriously challenged Iowa in this game. This was paraphrasing what Sam said in his post game recap on Omaha.com. If someone is able to post a link, it's worst...

Sam McKewon and Jon Nyatawa had a great conversation in this week's Pick 6 podcast regarding the "rivalry" of NU and Iowa. Sam makes the point that for most of the past 35 years, the 2 programs are very similar. In the 1980s, NU and Iowa were in the middle of the tenure of their "legendary"...

Mike'l Severe sent out some tweets this morning regarding Nebraska's Fremeau Efficiency Index (FMI) according to Football Outsiders. If you aren't familiar with Football Outsiders, they are basically a website that does in-depth and innovative statistical analysis for NFL and college football...

Let's say NU is able to win the last 2 games of the regular season. I know that's a big if, but NU will have finished the regular season at 6-6, but two wins over teams that were ranked in the top ten. But, what if the season was like a typical Bo season. I am not saying Bo is the coach, but...

I have been going at it 4 days, and it's awful. I have the worst facial hair ever.

Jason Peter was on Sharp & Benning this morning, and made the comment that "over his entire career at NU, Grant Wistrom is the best NU defender ever". I thought this was a pretty interesting comment, and he may be right. I am the same age as G-Dubs, so I was never in "awe" of him, but...

in the 1980's. I was going to say something about Riley, but I thought better against it, because he's got bigger things on his mind. Unsolicited by me, he said to me "Hey, I am sorry that Riley isn't doing well for Nebraska. I didn't think it was a good hire at the time, and I don't...

Even after the debacle of the 3rd and 7 call, NU still had a chance to stop Illinois from going over 70 yards in 50 seconds. Yesterday on the OWH The Bottom Line show, Joe Ganz did a good job of breaking down the long pass that Illinois hit over Gerry to get inside the 10 yard line near the end...

I was pretty happy with the way that Riley/Langsdorf's offense played the first 4 games. They were a pleasant surprise to me. But, watching yesterday's game showed me that they are Callahan 2.0. The new version has a slight upgrade with jet sweeps and a few QB run calls. After the offensive...

Worst coaching decision I have ever seen. What an idiot.
