Nebraska will never be once they once were. Lol @ Nebraska extending Rhule's contract. They deserve what they get with him.
Agreed. There is only one Devaney, Osborn, Pellini, Solich, all had winning records, Ruhle is a different animal who speaks his mind out loud and contracts are just that and they're made to be broken, he's welcomed in Lincoln very well, had a chance to talk with him at a football camp and the guy exudes energy and knows what he's talking about. He doesn't get the 5 star recruit, albeit they landed Raiola mostly because Lanning saw how fucking slow he moves his feet etc., and he's slow afoot, Mahomey moves with quick twitch back in his younger days, since then he's gotten his bangups in the NFL, but Raiola is far from Mahomey's talents, I once scouted for the Bills besides MLB so I know the talent Raiola has, Lateef is a different beast, he either excels today or gets his ass handed to him, all in all, he'll compete with Emmet Johnson and the receiver troops, look for Williams on special teams to make a splash again, I'm not betting this game, there's better stuff on the board, but yeah, Nebraska won't be what they once were give it to Osborne & former strength coach for allowing other teams to come in and copy what Nebraska was doing in the strength room thanks to Boyd Epley and thanks to the portal and bad past juju Nebraska had by firing Solich, Pellini bringing in Bill Callahan, Scotty fake a groin injury Frost whom I know personally, top recruits didn't want to come to Nebraska when other programs developed better strength rooms and had better karma with many of them switching over to coaches who went thru the wars like Saban who climbed the mountain from being an assistant to low D1 coach to LSU to Bama, Alvarez when he was at Wisky, Joe Pa rest his soul, Lou Holtz the greatest talking spitter in coaching ranks back then, Carr at Michigan, Urban getting the talent whereever he landed who rose from assistant to low D1 ranks in the MAC to Utah to Florida to Ohio State, etc. Nebraska won't be the same again, but they are better now than what they were the last 20 years!!
Hook'em horns. I grew up watching Darrell Royal coaching, Street, Woorster, etc. With the ugliest of football helmets back in the early 70's LOL!! When he retired, I lost interest in the Horns and with all the political shit going on in Texas, irked me then and to this day. What Sark is doing is commendable, he's had a rocky past and rose above the past ashes to where he is now, thanks to Nick Saban, same with Lane Kiffin, his father was a big influence along with Tom Osborne but I believe Nick opened Lane's eyes and made him grow up and utilize his abilities on and off the field.
Good stuff!!
