Talk all things Huskers with Steve Sipple during his weekly chat, every Monday.

@PTHUSKER: I think part of the reason he's been successful is his energy and ability to sell not only himself, but his system. He clearly believes in his system, and has parlayed that belief into a handsome living. Nebraska fans hope he can parlay his passion and belief in his system into a Big Ten Championship within the next three years. You have to belief it can happen or it will never happen. -

Ok Sip I'm confused. When we switched to the B1G, one of the common ideals was that Bo struggled because he had recruited for the Big 12 with smaller/faster guys and also general lack of opponent knowledge. While I disagreed (fast tends to always be better and the lack of opponent knowledge works both ways)....you supported this reasoning. Now we hear the 3-4 will be better to get quicker guys instead of the 4 brutes or "run stoppers" on the DL. Can you effectively make sense of all this to me?

@Trashman: You would agree that Bo's defense was better suited to stop spread offenses, correct? You would also agree that Bo used defensive backs -- 200-pounders -- in his base defense, correct? The Diaco defense won't have linebackers that small. Riley said he is interested in linebackers in the range of 6-2, 210 to 245 pounds.

@Steve: If you're referring to Diaco's emphasis on strong red-zone defense, yes, I think you're on to something. And, yes, I think Nebraska's chances to overtake Wisconsin in the Big Ten West Division just improved significantly. But Wisconsin's stability -- starting with Barry Alvarez and his blueprint -- is why I will give the nod to the Badgers. And, yes, that is probably good news for the Huskers. :)

@HuskerDan: I think it's possible we could hear from Kurt Rafdal, the tight end from Carmel, Indiana, before signing day. And maybe Bryan Thompson, the receiver from Rancho Verde High School in Moreno Valley, California -- the same school that produced Quincy Enunwa. Seems like most players, at this point, push it right to the limit.

@Chris: I once watched Mike Krzyzewski explain his offense and was struck by the simplicity of it. Of course, the Blue Devils' roster is a bit more gifted across the board than Miles' group ... Even so, I like the idea of providing just the right amount of structure for great players, but not overloading them. There exists a fine line. I sort of feel like Hubie Brown answering that question. :)

@Steve: Austin Allen, the tight end from Aurora, really intrigues me. You hear coaches (and quarterbacks) talk about "catch radius." Well, Allen is 6-foot-8. That has to be appealing to any quarterback. And both Mike Riley and Danny Langsdorf like using the tight end in their offense when they have a capable tight end to lean on. Allen is an excellent all-around athlete. I look forward to watching him develop.

@rickylee41: Flea is exceptionally cool. He's also in his 50s, so he remembers well when Nebraska was rolling as a football program. He might even remember when Danny Nee had Husker hoops rolling into the NCAA Tournament as a No. 3 seed. Yes, 1990 was a grand year for Nebrasketball, until Xavier spoiled the postseason party.
