Another Monday, another week closer to football season. I am most excited to see how the offensive line performs under their new coach, Geep Wade. It has been frustrating to watch Nebraska football locked in a cycle of underdevelopment and underperformance. Husker fans love the ethos of the Pipeline and celebrate that position group as much as any fanbase in college football (and more than most).
What group are you most looking forward to watching this season? Let me know in the comments!

It had to be an incredibly bittersweet day for him to be added to the list of greatest players ever and reveal that his chosen vocation will make his life much more difficult soon. I hope all of the research and effort being put into player safety is leading to a future where players do not suffer the same consequences.

“It’s different. With coaches and players, we have a lot more talent than we did at Nebraska,” Raiola said. “I don’t say that to knock on them, but I think everybody will know that.” It didn’t come across as malicious, but it was an unnecessary shot at a program that invested heavily in him from the moment he arrived.
