-Long-known hot take maker Doug Gottlieb will be the next head coach at Wisconsin-Green Bay in men’s basketball, sources announced yesterday
-The twist here is that Gottlieb will continue doing his daily FOX Sports Radio Show (2-5pm CST, M-F). It would be strange for Bill to be doing our show if he was still coaching at Nebraska or elsewhere—but it would be cool---but as a head coach? Bizarre…right?
-Imagine if Bo Pelini back in the day was doing a 3-hour daily radio show and was the head coach of the football team….ratings gold!

-Nebraska/Colorado is officially a night game (6:30pm, NBC, Sept. 7)…will the lead-up to that rival the 2014 Miami game?
-David Sanders Jr., the No. 1 OT in the country (out of Charlotte, NC), visited Lincoln this past weekend and said he had a great experience…do you believe Nebraska can start landing 5-star players again?
-CBS Sports ranks Matt Rhule as the 29th best coach in the country…if he puts together a 9+ win season, how much does he elevate up those lists?

-CBS Sports—the apparent kings of the offseason---are at it again, ranking the best coaches in college football. They start with 26-68, and will save the Top 25 for today.
-Husker fans won’t have to wait that long, as Matt Rhule shows up at 29th in the rankings, down 2 spots from where he was at last year. He’s behind the likes of Willie Fritz (Houston), and Jonathan Smith (Michigan State); but ahead of Jedd Fisch, Mario Cristobal, Brent Venables and a few other big names..
-Also, welcome to NFL Schedule release day…something that no one could have ever predicted to be a big deal 10+ years ago. Jake is already pissed about a game announced for the Dolphins…

-That’s the title of a new article out by Yahoo! Sports’ Ross Dellenger, who points out that a proposed new model has power conference leaders considering reducing rosters from 115+, down to 85-95 players
-At a place like Nebraska, that hurts---obviously proud in its tradition of walk-ons…

-Circa Sports put out their overs/unders on Sunday, and has Nebraska soundly in a bowl game with their 7.5 number; most Husker fans feel that is attainable and not unreasonable
-Other numbers in the conference: Illinois (5.5); Indiana (5.5); Iowa (7.5); Maryland (6.5); Michigan (9); Michigan St (5); Minnesota (5); Northwestern (4.5); Ohio State (10.5); Oregon (10.5); Penn State (10); Purdue (4); Rutgers (6); UCLA (5.5); USC (7.5); Washington (7); and Wisconsin (6.5)
-Might have been a good year for the B1G West to stay in place for Nebraska’s sake with the numbers listed here…same as USC!

-It’s a day and age where NIL seems most important for players than facilities---unless proven otherwise---but Nebraska’s 315,000 square foot new facility puts them inside the top 10 of CBS Sports’ list for the first time
-Oregon sits at No. 1, followed by: Alabama, Georgia, Texas A&M, Clemson, LSU, and Ohio State, before the Huskers enter at 8th (ahead of Auburn and South Carolina)

-We talked about this last week when Bill wasn’t here, but now that he is---recruiting strategy talk. Dylan Raiola is going to start as a true freshman barring some surprise, and so Lateef would be coming here knowing he likely would sit at least 2 years before playing
-Is this standard procedure or is it different since Nebraska hasn’t had a high-profile QB like Raiola before?

-Nebraska led 5-3 entering the 9th inning on Friday before blowing up and giving 7 runs and losing 10-5, before bouncing back with a 5-2 win in 10 innings on Saturday night (3-run walk-off HR by Cole Evans), and a 4-2 win yesterday to clinch the series and give the Huskers a chance to win the B1G still
-When we mean all eyes on Nebraska…how about 19,552 fans in attendance over the 3 days?! (including Jake, Elizabeth AND Scotlyn on Friday)…that’s pretty significant
