I know I sound like a broken record, but Nebraska was only one score away in several games this season. Just a couple playmakers can make a big difference in the B1G West, the Huskers should have everything they need to get to a bowl game this year.

A shit stain on the universe. Hypocrites.  Liars.  Helped create the instability in the Big 12, and then tried to pin the blame on someone else while they ran off to a paycheck and irrelevancy.

Nebraska to host transfer portal target WR from Texas

Chris Basnett    May 19, 2022 

6286c5db764f2.image.jpg?resize=1200,800

Texas' Marcus Washington (15) catches a pass against UTEP on Sept. 12, 2020, in Austin, Texas. Washington, who is in the transfer portal, will visit Nebraska this weekend. 

This weekend marks the beginning of official visits for 2023 football recruits, and three prospects will take visits to Lincoln to check out what Nebraska has to offer.

So will another athlete out of the transfer portal.  Former Texas wide receiver Marcus Washington, who entered the transfer portal on May 1, will make a visit to Lincoln as NU continues to look for reinforcements in its wide receiver room.

Washington caught 18 passes for 277 yards last season, largely from the right arm of new Nebraska quarterback Casey Thompson. The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder played in 31 games for the Longhorns.

Nebraska has already added a pair of transfer wideouts — Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda from New Mexico State and Trey Palmer from LSU. Washington visited Lincoln while being recruited in high school.

Bo Pelini Still Mad About 2009 Big 12 Championship

"They f---king lied. That was a screw job," he said. "They wanted Texas to go to the National Championship game. Let's face it. They wanted to make sure that a team from the Big 12 went.

"We won the game. The game was over." 😋

Has someone shared the graphic from r/collegefootball about a month ago with a side by side comparison of Nebraska and Texas football since the B12 Championship game twelve years ago?

What that they're about the same?  Doesn't take much to figure that out.  Who's excited about seeing that? woohooo

Maybe if you didn’t suck, Adrian. And maybe if your coach had recruited anyone else to challenge you for your job. 

He's going to a better roster with better coaches. Schedule is a bit tougher if the goal is a bowl game, but I think he's going to have a good season.

I was thinking about asking if anyone thought Frost could turn in this upcoming season's personnel and roster into a cohesive whole that was more than the sum of its parts or just a team that scraps to a seven win bowl season.

Is there a third option, like he goes 5-7 and loses his job?  Perhaps he is just a bad head coach (currently) and looked like a rising star due to an unreal season from his QB at UCF.  He has a losing record in 5 of 6 seasons as a HC.

The schedule is favorable this year but he has a lot of work to do.  Nearly the entire offensive coaching staff is brand new.  Likely half of the starters will be transfer players.  The roster lacks depth in several crucial areas.

I'll be in Vegas this weekend, fucking around with my wife and gambling. Do any casinos have the O/U on each CFB team's wins for the season yet? Because if they do, I'm going to assume that Vegas is severely overrating Nebraska and Frost again, and I'd like to put $500 down on the under and collect my winnings when I visit for a conference in January 2023. Anyone know?

I think that somewhere, in his tiny little brain, he believes that if he had won that game, he would still be the Nebraska HC and racking up conference titles left and right and in the hunt for the NC from time to time.

What are the dominoes from that game...

NU wins, plays in a BCS game, gets some recruiting momentum.
Thin-skinned petty Tom Osborne does not decide that NU should leave the Big 12,
Pelini is still winning 9 or 10 games per year in Lincoln annually (alternatively he was forced out some years later due to a scandal)
Missouri gets the Big Ten's 12th spot.  
When A&M leaves, the SEC ends up with WVU as #14.
Big 12 never goes fishing for Big East schools, so ACC never preemptively adds low-value Pitt or Syracuse, destabilizing the Big East.
TCU never gets a Big 12 invite and ends up in the Big East as originally planned.
Ten team Big 12 - with NU instead of WVU - makes more money per team, gets along better in the boardroom, provides a better home football slate to Texas and especially OU fans/donors, and holds together.    


The irony of NU leaving was that the round robin format, in the Big 12, was their ideal situation.

Bo Pelini was absolutely correct that the game was rigged.  The phantom holding, phantom chop blocks calls that stifled the Texas offense really created problems for us in addition to the Nebraska d-line.   

I will never forget Ndomukongh Suh ragdolling Chris Hall and Cedric Dockery every single snap throughout the game. It looked like he was running pass rush drills through tackling dummies. I remember one replay where he literally picked Hall up and threw him out of frame.

The online sites have had the odds out for a couple of weeks, so I have to assume every Vegas book will be offering them as well. Draftkings also has the O/U set at 7.5, so my guess is that is what you will find.

Really interesting Game:  

Sept. 17:  blOU vs CORN   (in Lincoln)

 

Scott Frost making key analyst addition to Nebraska staff from Army Black Knights

In his young career, Wes Fleming has coached on both sides of the line of scrimmage

JOHN BRICE           JUN 22, 2022

Quote

Wes Fleming’s steady climb up the college football ranks is set to continue with one of the sport’s most tradition-rich programs.

Fleming is joining Scott Frost’s Nebraska Cornhuskers staff as an analyst.

Specifically, sources tell FootballScoop that Fleming is going to work alongside Nebraska defensive coordinator Eric Chinander, the Huskers’ fifth-year defensive play-caller and a 20-year college coaching veteran.

Most recently, Fleming served on the record-setting Army staff of coach Jeff Monken, and Fleming also has deep ties to one of the Black Knights’ rising stars in the coaching ranks – Matt Drinkall. The Black Knights’ tight ends coach, Drinkall is the former Kansas Wesleyan head coach who led that program to unprecedented heights – and had added Fleming there to his KWU staff.

In addition to Kansas Wesleyan, Fleming also has served at Midland and at his alma mater, St. Ambrose University.

Part of Fleming’s quick rise through the ranks has been his willingness to work on both sides of the line of scrimmage. Though he assisted the Black Knights’ defensive unit, Fleming helped serve KWU as both offensive and special teams coordinator during that program’s 2018 surge to the semifinals of the national playoffs.

Not sure if mentioned already. But the shine is coming off of the guys on the Oregon staff that had so much success about ten years ago. The rules changes allowing defensive substitutions is probably the biggest reason the "jet tempo" isn't the most effective thing in the world right now. Chip Kelly has turned into Mr Mediocrity after getting two big paychecks in the NFL and now at UCLA. I remember listening to radio guys who follow PAC-10 football back in the day telling me that the high flying Ducks teams at the time were running peanut butter and jelly plays with an average quarterback (like Masoli and Darron Thomas) but they just run the plays faster and the defense would get tired and couldn't sub their guys on third down like they do in the NFL. Later interviews with Chip have him giving a large credit for his success to the flashy uniforms from Nike. Helfrich didn't even last that long as a head coach. Now Frost is at Nebraska where the weather is cold and windy and overcast for half the season and he doesn't have the hot skill players.

Whipple is new OC at Nebraska...

Pat Narduzzi sounds off on his former offensive coordinator

Seven months later, the Pitt head coach still isn't happy about how often his team threw the ball... in a 24-point win.

ZACH BARNETT              21 HOURS AGO

The 2021 season was a good one for Pitt. The best in years, actually.

The Panthers won the ACC for the first time ever. In fact, it was the first outright conference championship ever for Pitt, a program that claims nine national titles and did not join a conference until 1991. The trio of offensive coordinator Mark Whipple, quarterback Kenny Pickett, and wide receiver Jordan Addison created a passing attack that was darn near unstoppable. Pitt threw for 337 yards per game and averaged 41.4 points, both top 10 numbers nationally. Pickett won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, the ACC Player of the Year Award, represented the program in New York as a Heisman Trophy finalist, and went in the first round to the Steelers. Addison won the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top receiver.

All three have since moved on, and it sounds like their head coach may... prefer it that way? Or, at least Narduzzi isn't bemoaning Whipple's departure to Nebraska. 

Speaking on a podcast of a local Ford dealership -- yes, really -- Narduzzi said this:

See for yourself below. The comments come around the 4-minute mark, but Narduzzi gets into it around three minutes in.

For those who didn't watch the clip, the context here is that Pickett was beat up by the end of the ACC Championship and, as a defensive coordinator, Narduzzi would've had an easy time stopping Whipple's one-dimensional offense.

The other context here is that Pitt won that game, 45-21. Running back Israel Abanikanda carried nine times for 55 yards and two touchdowns -- a nice day at 6.1 a carry, but not quite 10 a pop -- while Pickett threw 33 times for 253 yards and two touchdowns. The longest run of the night was Pickett's infamous fake slide, which sprung 58-yard touchdown and is now illegal. Otherwise, Pitt didn't produce a run longer than 16 yards. 

Pitt also ran the ball on its last eight offensive snaps, gaining a total of 13 yards. They also, as stated previously, won the game by 24 points.

Anyway, Whipple is now at Nebraska, Frank Cignetti, Jr., is now Pitt's offensive coordinator, and the Panthers will surely run the ball to Narduzzi's heart's desire.

Texas stabbed Nebraska in the mind and they still haven’t recovered and probably never will.

They had a good setup in the Big VIII. They had two games to get fired up about CU and OU and more often than not CU sucked they could steamroll the rest of the shyte conference on autopilot and so only had 1 real game a year.

Texas definitely came in and busted up their party in the process both by pushing their shit in and removing the annual OU game which in turn made them pick up their things and go to a conference that had no rivalries and now kids coming out of high school today were not alive when Nebraska mattered nationally and for the entirety of their formative paying attention to sports years Nebraska has been downright mediocre or outright horrible.

They crossed the Rubicon there is no point of return. Even when they get games in LA and not the Midwest/Rust Belt they will still have the problem of sucking and not being anything close to enticing to 'croots.

I have a picture from that Ryan Bailey game, showing a close-up of Colt McCoy (soph yr) with snow flurries during the 1st Half of that game. He actually autographed it for my son later the following summer. It’s still matted and framed at my house.

The best thing about them running from Texas, is they lost the pipeline in Texas. They will forever be known as a has been and can have pride being the premier flyover state in the nation.

I love karma.

Hook’em!

I remember hearing postgame comments on Cornhusker radio talking about how beefy Colt was and how Nebraska had to get their QBs in the weight room. Kinda funny given that Texas fans at that time thought of Colt as being on the scrawny side.

BTW, Colt was a RS-Fr in 2006.

There were lots of Texas women at that game wearing inadequate shoes for the weather (some even in open toe shoes). I told one guy next to us to get a Valentino’s Pizza and have his wife stand on the box (empty) as a barrier to the cold concrete. By the 4Q, there must’ve been a couple dozen women, children, and soy boys around us standing on pizza boxes. /csb
