I think this past season was an important season for Fred's future here and it put us in a position to have a good off-season in the portal, which I think we did. So, next year is another important season. Need to maintain that upward trajectory. Need to maybe do a little better than people expect. And, notably, we still have a couple of spots open and there's still a chance we could add another important piece.

Can you explain the Torvik numbers to me? I don't know what some of the abbreviations stand for. Some I can figure out. But what is this "talent" thing? I mean it looks like we are by far the least talented team in the league. (Insert joke here.) I mean, yeah, that's what the eye test tells us, but how does he crunch those numbers to come up with that?

Agreed. But seeing the prediction for Michigan, it reminds me of the immortal words of Michael Ray Richardson: "The ship be sinking." Been a lot of off-season bad news for the Maise and Blues.

Wut

Agreed.

Entering Lat Mayen territory.

She sounds hideous.

He's projected as a late first round pick by NBADraft dot net. Others have him early 2nd. I would think modern day players take the cash and dash.

Pull quote: "DOUBLE CORNHUSKER HONOR ROLL: Give kudos to Nebraska: They are the ONLY public FBS athletic dept with NO subsidy from the school, and NO athletic debt. That's pretty impressive, Cornhusker friends!"

In France?

Are we counting smoking and grilling as the same thing? Because I would change my answer if we are.

Top 5 for me grilling is tough because there's just so much to choose from. 1. Prime ribeye steaks. Clear winner for me. Buy the whole rib and cut by hand myself. Two inches thick. Salted generously, allowed to air overnight, tempered, and then grilled on a super hot grill to get great crust but leave the inside a perfect medium rare. 2. For #2, I'm going to have to go with Jamaican jerk chicken. Jamaican jerk is really God's gift to barbecue. It's a flavor profile unlike anything else you've tried. It's spicy. It's savory. It's sour. It's sweet. If you can grill it over a hardwood fire, so much the better. 3. Picanha with chimichurri sauce. 4. Teriyaki chicken. I have an old family recipe. 5. Salmon filets on those copper mats. Plus 1 on that. There's a salmon seasoning I used to use and ran out of and can't find it anymore. Shame.

Love is a top 20 transfer and the best available PG on the list at 24/7. The overall best available is Grant Nelson, listed at #3.

Wow. Creighton has two of the top 20 transfers. Of course, both of them are *leaving* Creighton. Still, they had two of the top 20 transfers.

Damn that Grant McCasland.

Wasn't the portal closed like a week ago?

Well, one thing that also impressed me about Sam is he has lightning reflexes and amazingly quick hands. If there's a loose ball bouncing in his general vicinity, there's a good chance he'll come away with it. That stood out to me watching him last season. Yeah, he might not be the most athletic cat out there, but he's got some other tools that provide him some advantages.

Okey doke.

In football, there are 250 players ranked 4 stars or better (by the major recruiting services.) Raiola is a 5-star and was the overall #1 ranked recruit. Nebraskans had good reason to believe that, with his family connections to the school, we had a legitimate shot at landing him. We made his final 3. In basketball, there are usually around 110-120 players ranked 4 stars or better and Bol is currently a 4-star ranked #34. He said himself that his *unofficial* visit here was "great," "enjoyed every moment," and couldn't have gone any better. He releases a top 8 and we're not in it. Are we really having a discussion about Nebraska fans giving Dylan Raiola a little love during a basketball game?

Unless the O-line really kicks it in gear this year, his uncle's job is no doubt in jeopardy. "YOU HAD ONE JOB! Well, two, but you already failed at the first one, so ..."

It was known as a tobacco smoke enema. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco_smoke_enema

You ever wonder where the phrase "don't go blowing smoke up my ass" comes from?

Who's writing checks for Wake Forest?
