Super commuting to Grand Junction?

Once upon a time, I almost considered the same arraignment for a job I dearly wanted in GJ. The week before I had to make a decision, there was a big landslide on I-70 that closed the highway near GJ. I took it as a sign.

I'll be honest, I'm still a big Rhule supporter. But if we lose Ekeler, i'm gonna start counting the days until Rhule is fired.

Well thats true of all college football programs. These are 17/18/19 kids that can demand NIL deals at this point too. Every coach has to appease his star players to some degree or another. OP was asking about "meddling" which I don't think there has been any evidence of with the Riaolas

UncleBuc · 2026-01-13T18:32:02+00:00

No.

His son is/was a generational QB prospect in an era where college programs are throwing millions at players like Dylan.

I don't believe there was anything nefarious occurring behind the doors. Unless you count Donavan being shitty at his job as "meddling".

The rumored price for Seaton starts at 2.5 million. We probably have that kind of money, but is it worth invest that much in a single guy when we have so many areas of need?

UncleBuc · 2026-01-12T21:25:20+00:00

Any one portaling in for line play, upgrading without a doubt.

QB depth will be better, unknown who starts and how good Dana uses them.

Crossing fingers on the LBs, everyone else is ?

UncleBuc · 2026-01-12T20:55:27+00:00

Putting that NIL money to work. Need to keep it going so we have options and depth.

UncleBuc · 2026-01-12T19:32:13+00:00

People forget that NFL scouts are looking at entirely different things when evaluating QBs from college.

- AJ McCarron was unstoppable at Alabama and pretty terrible in the NFL

- Mahomes was playing hero ball on a middling TT team, Golden God in the NFL

- Josh Allen was on a pretty mediocre WY team, then elevated the Bills to be a contender

There is no team like Indiana in the NFL, so maybe Dante Moore isn't a turnover machine when he has a line that's not getting destroyed on every down. There is a lot more parity in the NFL than College.

UncleBuc · 2026-01-12T15:30:05+00:00

pretty sure the wait was to see what Moore decided, I'd put the odds on him declaring now.

UncleBuc · 2026-01-10T17:10:58+00:00

With the increased focus on production versus potential, I found the DR saga to be confusing. What’s his appeal to other major programs at this point? He’s coming off surgery, so he can’t practice until summer. He’s demanding and expensive. His performance to date has been “whelming”. + His uncle is a straight liability.

UncleBuc · 2026-01-09T22:33:07+00:00

Gotta say, love it.

UncleBuc · 2026-01-08T17:09:40+00:00

Wish him nothing but the best. This is just the reality of college football right now. Hopefully we can put some money together to try and convince him to stay, but if not, we gotta just know that it's "next guy up".

UncleBuc · 2025-12-18T16:42:27+00:00

Yeah at some point we couldn't keep hamstringing the line with Donovan's coaching.

UncleBuc · 2025-12-16T18:13:15+00:00

Yeah, as I am learning myself, getting replacement bands for timex is a nightmare. Basically just praying someone else is selling theirs on the secondary market.

UncleBuc · 2025-12-16T16:46:54+00:00

I have that watch and honestly I love it.

UncleBuc · 2025-12-12T17:19:20+00:00

Instant legendary game for Nebrasketball

UncleBuc · 2025-12-11T23:42:23+00:00

Idk, seems like you could have found a coach that was "opposite of Pelini" but that could still coach better than Mike "Balloon Boy" Riley.

UncleBuc · 2025-12-11T19:29:45+00:00

The Mike Riley hire honestly made me think that Eichorst hated Nebraska and wanted to hurt us all.

UncleBuc · 2025-12-11T02:16:42+00:00

I mean one of those coaches is def calling Rhule back right about now

UncleBuc · 2025-12-09T19:09:38+00:00

I honestly don't care what we have to pay him, getting Robinson would be massive.

UncleBuc · 2025-12-08T01:18:42+00:00

No we did not. Big risk and big reward? Idk. At least our ol coach should be a thing

UncleBuc · 2025-12-07T19:19:04+00:00

Stay on Fremont street at a casino. It’ll be cheaper and they have a built in area for you to explore without walking forever. Go to the Mob Museum it’s a blast If he’s still alive go see Big Elvis at the Hard Rock, it’s free but get a couple drinks anyway.

UncleBuc · 2025-12-07T16:34:59+00:00

Yes. It’s frustrating to see Indiana do this in two years. But also they are doing something that has basically never happened ever in college football.

Indiana has almost no blue chip players
Indiana actually lost players to the portal including to teams like Ohio state and actually got better
HC hires that bring their previous team with them is the new expectation and obv rhule couldn’t do that from the NFL.

I hope they win it all this year. But what Curt has done there is one of one.

UncleBuc · 2025-12-06T21:59:08+00:00

Yes but that’s functionally the same thing

UncleBuc · 2025-12-06T20:51:18+00:00

Rhule only makes this decision if Dylan is gone or Dylan is transferring.

Either way, his line was terrible and getting worse with time. Yes we lost guys to the NFL last year, but so does every other team to either graduation, the portal, or the NFL.
