I appreciate this sentiment but I think Texas and Notre Dame beat us pretty easily based on their form this weekend
We are bad and it’s because of the big ten but when we are good we aren’t better because the big ten. All roads lead to the big ten being bad!
I have tickets to Saturday’s 1pm CWS game. Already regretting the decision. 1. It better not be Arkansas. 2. It’ll probably be 100° out.
Cant even muster up a care for this playoff expansion talk knowing we’ll never have a shot to play it in.
knowing the clowns in north stadium, they were fucking furious at the run the baseball team made. - gritty motherfukers - cocky motherfuckers - anybody/anywhere and mean it and not just words and actually not try to back door our way out of Oklahoma I mean Arkansas - take the talent you have and build them up while supplementing some young guys - make no fucking excuses, that’s for the fans, but the team said fuck a pandemic, we will come back stronger the next year Literally, they have to hate Bolt & company. It’s a 180 from everything we ever see from football for the last 20+ years.
All the baseball told me is I still give a shit about this dumbass athletic department. Apathy can come but it can also go. Football is full of it. Fuck a season, when does basketball and baseball start again?
Spoiler: Traudt Nebraska basketball hosted an important official visitor over the weekend, bringing in four-star Grand Island (Neb.) forward Isaac Traudt for an official trip. The 6-foot-9 205-pound Traudt told Husker247 that the trip to Lincoln and his time around the players at Nebraska couldn’t have gone much better. After a year of Zoom calls, texts and phone calls, he said it was a welcome change to seeing people in person. “The highlights were just definitely getting to hangout with the players and the staff for about 48 hours or so,” Traudt said. “It was a great experience and I got to get a better feel for them as people and not just on the basketball floor.” Friday was a facilities tour and breaking down film with Nebraska’s coaching staff. Saturday brought a campus tour and academic conversations and hanging around with Nebraska’s players at Fred Hoiberg’s house on Saturday night. On Sunday, Traudt played golf with Hoiberg and NU walk-on guard Sam Hoiberg. “I didn’t really know what to expect facilities and campus-wise, and their fan base has always been awesome, but their facilities are top notch,” Traudt said. “They have some of the top facilities in the country for football and basketball, which not a lot of teams have.” During the film sessions, Traudt said he saw an offense that would showcase his athleticism and ability to shoot from the outside. “Yeah, a lot of it is a free flowing offense, and they get up and down the floor,” Traudt said. “They get a lot of threes up, which is one of my strengths, and they have a lot of high IQ guys who know how to play the right way. It would be a good fit for me.” On his visit, Traudt spent plenty of time with Trey McGowens and Bryce McGowens. The younger McGowens was spending his first weekend on campus, and Traudt said there seemed to be excitement around the group that Nebraska is close to turning a corner on the court. “They’re really excited for this year,” Traudt said. “They think they have a really good chance to be special this year, and they think that 2022 class — a guy like me and some other players came in too, they could turn into a championship-caliber team.” The weekend was also an opportunity for Traudt to be around Fred Hoiberg. The Husker head coach has become the main point of contact for Traudt in his recruitment, and while the four-star forward talks to other Nebraska assistant coaches and staffers, he said the bond with Hoiberg is strongest. “He’s definitely the one recruiting me the hardest,” Traudt said of Hoiberg. “I’ll talk to Coach Gates, Coach Sadler and Coach Loenser and Abdelmassih here and there, but it’s primarily coach Hoiberg, which is really cool because my relationship with the head coach is always the most important for me. “I’ve got a good relationship with him. He calls once a week, probably texts a couple times a week — not really about basketball stuff, just how I’m doing, what I’ve been up to, I feel like we have a really good relationship and this weekend obviously helped solidify it with being able to be together in person.” 3COMMENTS The trip to Nebraska is part of a busy month for Traudt. He unofficially visited Creighton last week, and has official visits scheduled later this month for Virginia, Michigan State and North Carolina. An official visit to Oklahoma could be an option in the fall. Traudt is a four-star prospect with an overall rating of 0.9763, according to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite, making him the No. 50 overall prospect in the country.
Spoiler: Biliew The round ball could be put down for the afternoon. The five-star recruit was on a Tuesday getaway, in pursuit of putting something else in a net. A fishing trip to Wisconsin was calling. Of course, so were others. They're always calling when you have the basketball talents of Omaha Biliew. When it comes to those calls from Nebraska, the 6-8 prospect is paying notice. Whether Fred Hoiberg can get Biliew to join him in his boat, you shouldn't discount the possibility even as he attracts attention from all the heavy hitters across the country. The big man remains plenty interested in Nebraska after his weekend visit to Lincoln to check out the Husker basketball operation in person. "It was my first time there. The facilities were great, and how the coaches just welcomed with me with open arms – it was just beautiful," Biliew told Husker247. "Nebraska's just beautiful." The five-star recruit out of Waukee, Iowa, who is ranked No. 5 nationally among all prospects in the 2023 class, was actually born in Nebraska. You can guess the city by his name. He lived in Omaha before moving to Iowa in his early years. Now all the college coaches in the country know who he is: Kentucky, Kansas, Gonzaga and Ohio State among the programs pushing hard along with Nebraska and programs in Iowa. All over the map, really. He has some family connections to Nebraska, but it's something else that had him spending the first weekend in June in Lincoln with all those options available to him. "First of all, it's Fred Hoiberg, that's the first thing," Biliew said. "It's just a pro atmosphere there. They've got everything there that any high-major has, any blue blood has. They're willing to develop me into a pro as I want to be. That's really it." He's also definitely noticed the type of recruits Nebraska has brought into the program under Hoiberg, including a five-star signee in the 2021 class in Bryce McGowens. "It's just showing that there's a trend with Nebraska, and people are starting to believe that you don't need to go to a blue blood to get to the NBA," he said. "That just shows there's an NBA atmosphere over there." Biliew said he's always had that confidence he could take his game to the highest levels. "Even when I was like 8, I always believed I could do anything with this basketball," he said. "It turned out a couple years later, after all the work I'm done, I'm where I'm at (with opportunities) right now. ... I'm just glad that I made it. I still look back on those days back then, just grateful. All glory to God." He's used to standing out above the crowd everywhere he goes. "When people saw me, they're like, 'I'm never seen a human like that before,'" he said with a laugh. "Until I got out and started playing basketball across the country, that's when I started seeing people my size. But it's still like that here in Iowa. When people see a big, tall, African basketball player, it's crazy to them." It takes patiences sometimes dealing with all the recruiting attention, but Biliew handles it in stride. He's dreamed about this since he was a little kid. He's rightly proud of the position he's put himself in. On the court, he takes particular pride in his defensive work and versatility. "I can do anything on the floor: I can play any position. I can guard all positions, and I just believe I gotta work on everything. I've got to work on ball-handling every day, getting my shots up, separation moves, just attacking the rim. Just being who I am and trusting the work." He puts in three workouts a day, and has a few more visits on the docket before mid-June, including Kansas, Iowa and Iowa State. 11COMMENTS His trip to Lincoln gave him a chance to meet Simeon Wilcher, a five-star prospect ranked No. 7 nationally from the 2023 class who is the brother of new Husker C.J. Wilcher, as well as some other prospects his age. He's got time on his side to decide, but he liked the vibe and he knows he's not the only big talent looking Nebraska's way. "Cool people," Biliew said. Nebraska is a great place, they told him throughout. "And I can feel that."
Dean in hot water over there because a bunch of his subscribers are now getting mail sent to their homes from that stupid mortgage lending company he allows to advertise on his board

Hmm. Hmm. I guess this makes me think the kid is bad and Scoot Farts wasn't as bad in this case as I thought. He's still bad though.
“Dad stop acting like you were a great NFL player, you were a wide receiver! God you are embarrassing!” “I wish uncle John (Elway) was my dad!”
Taylor Martinez just barely getting by making children's apps/selling real estate in S. California thinking "yeah but at least I played QB"
I don't think the man who led the nation in fumbles for three out of four years would have had consistent success at catching the football
But he excelled at disconnecting from his body and going completely limp at the point of contact with any opponent making me think he’d have been a serviceable gunner on punt team.
Watching Taylor de-accelerate before taking on a LB or Safety always made me wonder what exactly he was thinking
Simple physics, duh. If one object on a collision course with another object reduces speed, the force of the collision will be lessened.
Probably exactly how his brain worked, ‘hitting a fastball perfectly means the ball goes much farther! I’ll just slow up, less moon shots!’ Without understanding that it might not go as far, but a good hitter still is going to smack the fuck out of way more 50 mph warm up pitches and thus Taylor is going to get absolutely hammered every single time instead of arm tackles and what not.
