Spring Practice

Always the high point of the year.
Back in the day I would get sky box tickets for the spring game from this charity auction thing. I think it was 8 passes. Me and my friends would be so geeked up about the day.
We would have a quick beer at my place, then of course road beers. We would park and hit up the first bar by 9:30am, hit two more before the game...hit up the box and drink in there, then off to Champions club and then more bars (Yes, @4.6.3 we would also creep out girls half our age and cuck ourselves or cuck others, I am not sure which one is the one that makes me less of a man).
Anyway, it was such a great time.
Now, 3 of us MIGHT be going to Lincoln that day, we are still excited and we will still drink and cuck the **** out of each other, we will still creep out every female we see...but it is just not the same.
If they are truly playing some sort of competitive football for the Spring Game I'm interested to see Colandrea, Mehki Nelson and if we developed any tight ends on offense and the new defensive line on defense.
Just make it a real game. There is no reason to complicate things.
DP likes boys, nothing wrong with that, I guess, now he plain creeps everyone out.
Colandrea, Mehki have plenty of game film. I don't see where develop is supposed to happen when we are bringing in a ton of new players every year that have to learn a new offense. And we are having to break in new oline and dline coaches and a new dcoordinator. That might be interesting but it will be a WIP. I guess our hope is our previous coaches like literally didn't even show up or were so terrible that the new guys will seem like hall of famers.
Can't have a real game scenario... players might get poached.

McKewon: Mess outlined in Bill Moos' book should earn Matt Rhule era more grace
Three ugly losses to end 2025 rightly provoke skepticism, writes Sam McKewon, but Bill Moos' book outlining years of dysfunction should earn the Matt Rhule era a little grace.
"Fan skepticism has kicked in, and the reasons why are outlined in Moos’ book. Imagine a whole fan base having total alignment in late 2017 and fumbling the bag as badly as NU administrators, Moos and Frost collectively did.
Well, you lived it and I covered it. Maybe last week’s reminder should inspire a little more grace for Rhule and Dannen’s operation. It’s not Indiana — but it’s not that, either."
Took in a couple of spring games in the 80s when I was a student. Not sure if you even had to pay. Nice way to spend an afternoon.
OT, but I ran into Rhule yesterday in Omaha. I was surprised to see that no one was bothering him. Obviously everyone knew it was him. But no one approached him. So I sure as hell didnt either, just walked right by.
First time I've run into the HC in the wild so I dont know if this is standard fare, if people were just respecting the man out on a walk with his wife and daughter - or indicative of sentiment towards him.
I cant say that im drinking the kool aid right now. But I also dont hate the man by any measure. We've gone bowling dammit. That's at least something. So I hope spring game turnout is still strong, whatever it ends up being.
/Done contributing nothing of value to this thread on the spring game.
I guess I should also mention no one bothered him in the 20 seconds he was in my FOV. For all I know when he got around the corner he was swallowed by a mob...

Caught Sam M on with Benning and Ravi. The take on Barthel and the RB room is a big 180 from several folks on the board. Sam said the question in his mind is whether Ives can be an effective short yardage guy. Damon said Barthel could have coached his room when he was there for sure. The view on Barthel within the program vs. some of the fans is starkly different.
I think the problem most people have with Barthel is his RB recruiting. We’ll definitely find out about his recruiting this season.
Eh, still basketball season. Just get dem husker dogs/cats ready for battle via spring drills. I’ll pay attention come late August. Just win baby!
Who was the Nebraska coordinator after the Iowa game said something to the effect of “their practices must be a blood bath” … I remember thinking at the time, yikes we are soft.
Radio silence from Podcast Matt. Fully in his "dribbling out the clock" mode. He already knows what we will find out in 6 months, and has neither the ability nor the will to do anything about it. This will be the worst season in any of our lifetimes. 4 wins will be a miracle, but in terms of us - the deplorable rabble - this is where the levy breaks.
My money's on 10/10/26. Indiana might score 100 just because they can.
