Matt Rhule confirms that WR Malachi Coleman plans to enter the transfer portal. Due to the incoming roster limits, he expects 30-50 Nebraska players to enter the portal. "I want them all to stay here and develop. It's just the new world we're in. It's going to be different."

“Go-to Guy” & “Momentum Changer” are two great handles for Brian Walker! Couldn’t agree more @CaryMoyer ❗️ 🐏🔵🟡🏈
#D2FB - #UFL Free Agent, former Shepherd @SURamsFootball TE Brian Walker, a D2 Elite 100 Selection in 2022 who was with the NFL Ravens last spring in 2023. Saw this combo (QB Bagent now with NFL Bears to TE Walker) in the post below connect so many times in person covering the PSAC. @Bwalllk was the go-to guy to extend a drive or take over a series to change the momentum in favor of the Shepherd Rams. #PSACFB

Mike Tomlin said, "There's no substitute for work. You can talk about all kinds of stuff, but at the end of the day, it's about the work." Success comes from doing the work. It takes discipline, commitment, and sacrifice. People notice when you succeed, but they don't see the hard work, discipline, consistency, and sacrifices it took to get there. You have to commit to the process and do the work. 8 Things to Know about Commitment & Hard Work 1. Put in the work every day - Commitment isn't a one time event. It means committing to the process of improving and putting in the time. It takes consistency and work to improve. Success is the result of consistently showing up and doing the work day in and day out. 2. It takes sacrifice - Commitment means prioritization and sacrifice. Ask yourself: "What am I willing to pay for this?" If you work hard then sacrifice isn't something to regret. It means you have chosen something to fight for and you have defined what matters to you. 3. Expect adversity and challenges - Expect that there will be sacrifices, failures, criticisms, and rejections. Build the muscle of resilience. Being prepared for obstacles strengthens your resolve. It equips you to navigate through tough times with determination and focus. 4. Strive for perfection, accept excellence - When you put the work in every day, you want to give everything you have. Focus on consistency with daily intensity. Put in quality work every day with a growth-mindset. Have a growth mindset because it will keep you motivated to grow, learn, and get better. 5. Choose discipline over motivation - Motivation will come and go so rely on your daily discipline. Stick to your routines and build good habits. Act regardless of how you are feeling. When you stay disciplined, you build habits, routines, and ultimately build the self-image of who you want to become. 6. Be intentional - Be intentional about how hard you work and what you work on. Little details make big victories. Set clear goals and stay focused. You create big changes and reinforce your commitment when you are intentional every day about how you work. 7. Your mindset matters - Your mindset can make or break your commitment and work ethic. Believe in yourself and where you are headed. Have faith that putting the work in will make a difference. If you believe that you can't do something, you're unlikely to try. 8. Know that there will be good days and bad days - Putting in the work is hard. Embrace the ups and downs of the journey. Celebrate the good days. Know that persistence through challenges is what leads to growth. "It's not what you're capable of. It's about what you're willing to do." - Mike Tomlin

Mental toughness is going from frustrated to focused. Mental toughness is going from angry to aware. Mental toughness is going from complaining to competitive. And every day you have gotta choice to make because 'it's hard' will rule your life - one way or the other. @TomCrean

In his first career start, our very own, Tyson Bagent, led the Chicago Bears to their first home win in 392 days this past Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. He went 21-29 with a total of 162 passing yards, and 1 passing touchdown. Here we go, TB!

ATTENTION ALL CFB PLAYERS: If you want to get noticed by NFL scouts, play with type of relentless effort shown here by NC State’s Payton Wilson. All strain. No give up. This is an ILB hawking down a WR. 👀
