A local 4th grader had a simple Christmas wish “to play catch with Dylan Raiola” and then the QB showed up at his school today. Props @RaiolaDylan and other student athletes and the impact they have with simple gestures.

Mickey made an interesting point on how he had to be show he was a good person before a good coach to gain trust of players. Relationship building 101.

Hearing from coaches that have met Rhule or his staff today. They were rooting for Rhule to get the Nebraska deal done, they are headstrong about the plan and for the first time since Solich a head coach feels authentic sitting across from me.

Saw this Adrian his first game at Nebraska in ‘18. Tons of confidence, weapons around him and healthy and in a good head space. Been rare to see the kid smile, good for him tonight.

40-0 with no doubts and more belts than a leather factory. Can you remember when Bud looked this good? Where are those that said he was beating nobodies for years? This is what domination looks like.

UCLA 27, Nebraska 20. Worst loss in Rhule era. Looked unprepared, out coached and now 0-5 in November (last 2 years). Take this into a bye week before a trip to USC.

Things you look up while waiting in line. Nebraska will add 5 "legacy" players tomorrow (Clark, Smith, Benning, Koch, Raiola). Fathers went a combined 178-45 (.798) at Nebraska.

How do you say goodbye to someone that gave you your name? My mom’s journey ended this week. She was a nurse for 51 years from RN to CEO. Twice kicked cancer & still volunteered and tutored ESL nursing students, in her final days. Time well spent adds to life well lived. 🙏

Nebraska has played 23 games, in the last 2 years. 14 have been one-possession games. They are 1-13. I don't care so close, so far or whatever. This is an unreal stat.

Rest easy, CJ. One of the best to carry the rock. He told me how he became a Husker. "Coach came to visit and he was too tall for our doorway, and man, you would have thought Jesus came back. My grandma saw him, she said I don't care what you say, you're going with Osborne."

Vrz was always for the kids. The kids that worked for him, the kids he trained, the kids he coached and even the kids he let draw on Piezon's wall. He was slated to join me on TV tonight doing what he loved talking football and telling stories of the kids playing.

Lesson learned from this significant addition is Nebraska’s semi-truck is unbeaten in recruiting.
I am excited to announce I am a Cornhusker! Although there were great things about all of my top three schools, I firmly believe in what is being built by Coach Rhule and his staff. I want to thank everyone who has helped me and made this process special. God bless and GBR!! 🌽🎈

Sitting near 90-year old Starkville native. MSU grad with tickets to multiple sports. Said his health isn’t great, but his neighbor told him he had to be in Omaha so they drove up yesterday. Fan for 80+ years and now 3 outs from witnessing history. Pretty damn cool.

And. Here. We. Go.
NEWS: Top quarterback recruit Dylan Raiola (@RaiolaDylan) told ESPN he’s switching his college commitment to Nebraska from Georgia. He’s the highest-ranked recruit — No. 8 overall in ESPN’s rankings — to pick Nebraska since ESPN began ranking high school players in 2006.

The last time Nebraska allowed a TD was 1:31 remaining in the 2Q at Illinois. Since then they've faced 26 drives and none have finished with a TD.

The inability for this program to seize good fortune is beyond words. Nebraska got the ball at their own 45 with :31 left and Iowa wins it on a 38-yard FG with :00 on the clock.

Nebraska just broomed #2 and #4 in the same week. My takeaway from the banger of non-con matchups, 2 of the best are just 50 miles apart.

Among things that stood out today was Donovan Jones and Caleb Benning. Both redshirted this year, with minimal regular season snaps, got extended playing time and looked like they’ve been regulars all season.

This leaves a hole in our heart and our community. Vrz was one of kind and myself and so many others are better because of our friendship or interactions with the Man from the 308. RIP brother
Omaha lost a good one tonight. Rest in peace @Vrz51 - you will forever be a @Huskers and pizza legend around here.
A true, genuine human. He cared about everyone he encountered. He never left you wondering what he was thinking. He always served you incredible pizza.

Omaha has parted with Derrin Hansen as the Mavs MBB coach. Lots of thoughts that I will share in due time. We’ve become close friends, sharing the highs and lows of life and hoops. As my grandpa used to say “he’s good people.” Huge impact on people and a program. Thank you, DH.
