James Palmer Jr. lands a contract with the Clippers and now we’re left to wonder what in the hell really went wrong last year / Shut Up Sipple

July 29, 2019 by Leave a Comment

-Nebraska had 2 NBA players on last year’s roster and still fell apart. How much better was that roster than what Fred Hoiberg has to work with this year? And you have to wonder what Hoiberg could have done with that type of talent last year….almost feels like a Callahan-to-Pelini type of thing with elite development

Is it fair for us to expect similar numbers for Dedrick Mills this year from what he did at Georgia Tech?

July 29, 2019 by Leave a Comment

-In Mills’ one year at Georgia Tech, he played 9 games and had 152 rushes for 771 yards and 12 TDs. That averages out to just under 17 rushes per game. Keep in mind, the Yellow Jackets had a heavy option run attack, and that’s not the system at Nebraska now…

-Is he going to be a workhorse type of back? Will he get 20 carries per game? Sip’s pretty confident he will have well over 1,000 yards rushing this year….

Put the Kool-Aid down for just a second: What is the FLOOR for Nebraska football in 2019?

July 26, 2019 by Leave a Comment

-Is there any way Nebraska could miss a bowl game for a 3rd straight year? Seems very unlikely with the schedule in favor of the Huskers—-toughest games at home, and not a very daunting road schedule. However, if Nebraska were to lose the 2nd game at Colorado, things could get weird

-Is there ANY SCENARIO that Nebraska doesn’t find a way to 6 wins? We hate to predict injuries and won’t do so—but what would it take for Nebraska to hit the floor? We promise we’ll be all optimism going forward after this topic today…don’t throw anything at us!

Could Pac-12 ‘After Dark’ soon become Pac-12…..’Early Morning’?

July 26, 2019 by Leave a Comment

-Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott mentioned at their Media Days that many coaches are frustrated that the league doesn’t get primetime games all the time and that they start so late compared to the rest of college football….and he mentioned that they’ve looked at possibly doing 9am P.T. games to get in the noon ET time slot

-Can you imagine playing football at 9am? What would that look like in the Midwest or East Coast? Do you want to see that? Sounds horrible, honestly.

Maurice Washington’s next court date is scheduled after Nebraska’s season-opener…how should Scott Frost handle this for playing time?

July 26, 2019 by Leave a Comment

-Washington’s next hearing is a preliminary examination setting on Sept. 3rd, which is after Nebraska’s home opener on August 31st.

-Frost said at Media Days that Washington would be a part of Fall Camp, but wasn’t sure about the season beyond that yet. Washington faces 2 charges in California—one a felony—for possession of a video of a person under age 18 engaging in or simulating sexual conduct

-Would it be a huge distraction to the team if he were to play in the season-opener? Or a bigger distraction if he didn’t play?
