Mel Kiper’s latest mock draft has the Patriots trading up to get Justin Fields…is he the perfect fit for Bill Belichick?

April 14, 2021 by Jake Sorensen Leave a Comment

-The top 3 picks, it seems right now, would be Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, and Mac Jones…then Fields would follow somewhere after that, possibly at No. 4 with the Falcons

-Kiper thinks the Pats will trade up high enough to get Fields…is he the right fit for that offense?

Do fans still believe a non-power run offense can win consistently for Nebraska in the B1G?

April 14, 2021 by Jake Sorensen Leave a Comment

-It’s a big question about the whole operation and what happens going forward. It’s not a great sign that Nebraska’s running backs are either injured or young. Which puts a lot of pressure, again, on Adrian Martinez and receivers/tight ends that have a lot of newcomers

-You ask yourself if Nebraska is going in circles and why they don’t go back to what worked in the past. You want to be like Ohio State but can’t recruit to their level. There’s no reason why you can’t be like Wisconsin. How hard is that to accept? Can everyone get on board for that style or not?

-Gabe Ervin has been one of the big stories of spring ball…it IS Kool-Aid season…but how much are you drinking of it when it comes to him?

-How do you feel about Nebraska’s backup QB situation? Can they go into the season with such lack of of experience behind Adrian or do they need to add a transfer QB if possible in the summer?

-What’s the biggest thing to monitor going forward leading up to the Spring Game?

The latest ESPN FPI rankings have Nebraska at 46th for 2021…right behind…BALL STATE

April 14, 2021 by Jake Sorensen Leave a Comment

-The FPI rankings give Nebraska a 0.8% chance of winning the conference this year…and has Nebraska going either 5-7 or 6-6 this season

-Other items of note: Iowa State is ranked 4^th and is labeled a “darkhorse” national title candidate…still incredible to think about. But Matt Campbell has his team in a big spot in Ames

-Other things of note? Northwestern is seen as a potential 8-4 team and just outside the Top 25

Fans seem very optimistic after Nebraska baseball’s opening series…overreaction or justified? / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe)

March 8, 2021 by Jake Sorensen Leave a Comment

-Nebraska blew a lead in the first game and lost, but bounced back with nice wins in games 2 and 3 to take the series, with really all 3 parts of the game going well: pitching, fielding, and hitting

-We never got to see Will Bolt’s team play conference play last year. There’s fans who were really impressed with how they played this weekend. How much can we take away from it?
