Nebraska 2018 Season Thread

[MarqHusker]

I am a big fan of a lot of (alt rock/rock/weird) bands with female lead vocals, or solo artists (I'm listening to Bjork's new album right now in fact), but not that one.  Hole is terrible.

That might be a good off season tournament.  At least a mini-tournament.  Though probably low participation.

The hiring of Scott Frost has Nebraska fans so excited, even the athletic department's ticket office is overwhelmed. 

The 2018 football season ticket renewals were launched the same weekend Frost was hired, and the speed of renewals was noticeably quick, assistant athletic director for tickets Holly Adam said. 

But the amount of requests to be put on the waiting list for season tickets is something the athletic office has never seen, Adam said. 

"This type of push is unprecedented, so we don't really have anything to compare numbers," Adam said. 

Season ticket holders are asked if they want to renew, and if they do, the tickets are theirs. If they don't renew, those tickets are given to whoever is next on the waiting list.

Since Frost was hired last Saturday, Adam says there have been more than 1,300 people put on the season ticket holder waiting list.

To bump ahead in the process, Adam said fans can guarantee the chance to purchase season tickets by placing a $100 down payment per ticket, which will count toward the cost of the season ticket.

Nebraska’s walk-on event Wednesday landed commitments from Lincoln Southwest’s Collin Shefke and O’Neill’s Wyatt Liewer.

Liewer received a preferred walk-on offer Oct. 8. Shefke received his offer Wednesday.

Liewer — a 6-foot-3, 175-pound wide receiver — and Shefke — a senior lineman — unofficially visited Nebraska for game days numerous times this season.

Nebraska senior linebacker Chris Weber added his name to the nation-leading list of Husker Academic All-Americans on Thursday. Weber was one of 25 Division I football student-athletes named to the 2017 CoSIDA Academic All-America Team.

Weber’s selection increases Nebraska’s nation-leading total of Academic All-Americans across all sports to 330. The Husker football program now has 108 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, including 70 first-team selections. The 108 honorees are the most of any athletic program in college athletics.

The recruiting event held at Memorial Stadium on Wednesday night has spurred a run of commitments from in-state football players who will join Nebraska in the fall as walk-ons. 

The latest: North Platte wide receiver Bryson Krull. 

On Wednesday, NU received commitments from offensive lineman Colton Shefke (Lincoln Southwest), linebacker Chris Cassidy (Lincoln Pius X), linebacker Jake Archer (Omaha Skutt), and wide receiver Wyatt Liewer (O'Neill). On Thursday, running back running back Brody Belt (Millard West) and lineman AJ Forbes (Bellevue West) also joined the group. 

The addition of Krull makes seven walk-ons in three days for the Huskers. 

Others already in the fold before this week include defensive lineman Ryan Schommer (Norfolk) and LSW's Cameron Pieper (long snapper) and Justin Holm (wide receiver).
