I don't understand what happened to kickoff return team. Do we practice it? Last year it was absolutely electric. At one point we lead the nation We had 780 yards last year and this year it's 230. What happened???

What do regular Americans worry about in the first five minutes after they wake up in the morning? They worry about their kids. Their bills. How they’ll afford to pay the mortgage and fill the tank. They don’t worry about Iran or renovating the White House or any of the numerous other things Trump spent the last year rambling about. Republicans did not speak to the issues that directly and immediately impact regular Americans. They did not present a compelling plan to deal with those issues. That’s why they’re getting crushed. And they deserve it.

We haven't had an episode like this in years! Check it out on @Huskermax! si.com/college/nebraska/foot…

Regarding firing coaches, Rhule says: "I'm steady in the boat."

Nebraska coach Matt Rhule in a 19-minute opening statement at his weekly news conference: "Don’t take a rocking boat and a rocking sea and rock it even more. You can’t control what’s outside the boat. But your focus should be on being steady in the boat and understanding that this game against Illinois, if we play well, will come down to the end -- and you have to make one more play than the other team. "I am steady in the boat. But I’m only going to worry about the people in the boat."

"I said to my daughter, 'If daddy’s gotta retire, if I have retire because I don’t want you guys growing up in that environment..." His younger daughter, who is 10, implored him not to quit. And Rhule clarified that he's fighting through this three-game losing streak. "I'm not leaving," he said. "I'm not quitting. I’m fighting for those people. For the people who are listening to the game while they’re on a combine. We are going to fight for those people. But please don’t ever question how hard these kids are working or how hard these coaches are working or how hard I’m working."

Why I’m done with this team and Matt Rhule as HC: (long) First off, to your question Ryan, I’ve been “seeing something” for 2 yrs now. Last night was just the final confirmation for me. I started seeing red flags after yr 2 and the Iowa loss-a game in which Nebraska dominated. In short, I was seeing Rhule was showing signs of being more like PJ Fleck than Dan Lanning. I also saw a guy who I don’t think knows he who he wants to be or is comfortable in his own skin. Or as @HuskersX says it perfectly, “He doesn’t have an anchor”. So you see him wanting to be someone he is not. It’s why his actions don’t match his words. Why his details and plans don’t match his original vision (which I believed in), and why he overcorrects on everything instead of staying centered. And it’s why like Fleck, he’s freaking out on the refs all game long. It’s exhausting. Last yr, 2 events told me we had serious issues with Rhule as HC, the MN loss and not going for it on 4th and 1 vs USC from our own 32 (after calling a timeout to think about it). So for this yr, it was a bottom line yr for me to see if Rhule could be more than just a program builder and could go from “Good to Great”. A minimum of 8 wins would be needed to show that. But what I saw last night, was the final straw of what I needed to see to know that the answer is “no.” Still an undisciplined team (except on D) and a HC stressed out and yelling from the opening kick, players not making winning plays and inability to win. In short, Matt Rhule doesn’t have “it” and he never will. It sucks, but it is what is is and we deserve a Great HC, someone who can take the foundation that Rhule built,and build a winner in ever since of the word. I wish the team luck, but I’m done watching them play.
