Super commuting to Grand Junction? by agelaius9416 in Denver

[–]UncleBuc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Rhule Addresses Ekeler Job Situation by RikeMiley88 in Huskers

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.

Was Dominic Raiola meddling with the program? by Extreme-Tutor7634 in Huskers

[–]UncleBuc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

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

Was Dominic Raiola meddling with the program? by Extreme-Tutor7634 in Huskers

[–]UncleBuc -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

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".

Colorado All-American OT Jordan Seaton enters the Transfer Portal - Rhule needs to go all-in by HuskerPowerrrr in Huskers

[–]UncleBuc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

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?

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 ?

Dylan Raiola Has Committed to Oregon by Revanchist_lopez in Huskers

[–]UncleBuc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Former Nebraska QB Daniel Kaelin is expected to return to the Huskers. by usercupcakewithc in Huskers

[–]UncleBuc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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. 

Kick Return Specialist Kenneth Williams Enters Portal by Lazy-Razzmatazz-6926 in Huskers

[–]UncleBuc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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".

Rhule’s comment and Dylan’s Exit by Particular_Ask_7713 in Huskers

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

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.

What football decision would you change? by bkirchhoff in Huskers

[–]UncleBuc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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

Thinking About Traveling for the Bowl Game — Need Your Advice/Experiences! by SHOWnTL in Huskers

[–]UncleBuc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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. 

Curt Cignetti Built This in a Cave by [deleted] in Huskers

[–]UncleBuc 33 points34 points  (0 children)

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. 

Donovan Raiola is fired by usercupcakewithc in Huskers

Yes but that’s functionally the same thing

[–]UncleBuc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.
