    Huskers QB Casey Thompson Compares Nebraska To Texas

    Casey Thompson disputed the notion that everything’s bigger in Texas.

    Since transferring from the Longhorns to Nebraska Cornhuskers in January, the 23-year-old quarterback has noticed some differences. Per Sam McKewon of the Omaha World-Herald, Thompson said he’s come across more Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities at his new school.

    In fact, per Brian Christopherson of 247 Sports, Thompson said he’s received too many NIL offers since joining the Huskers.  

    “Nebraska is probably hands down one of the best programs in the country for Name, Image and Likeness opportunities. The support and the fan base here, I would say there’s nothing that really compares to this,” Thompson said. “I’m kind of even surprised, and a little bit blown away about how much football is a big deal around here. But it’s been great, it’s been fun. I’m kind of at the point now where I’m having to, like, tone down a little bit of the (NIL) opportunities just so I can focus on ball.”  🙄

    To some, it may feel like heresy to suggest football is a bigger deal somewhere outside of the Lone Star State. Yet Thompson explained that Austin, Texas, is more spread out than his new home, which is a “tight-knit” community.

    “Here at Nebraska, if I go to a restaurant or go to a local high school basketball game, or even just going to the gym down the street to try to get some lifts in on the weekend, I’m going to end up getting stopped and having to take pictures and stuff like that,” Thompson said. “But it comes with it and I’ve really enjoyed it so far. I think the Nebraska fan base is awesome.”  😂😂😂

    NIL opportunities are a new element notable NCAA athletes can now consider when choosing a program. Thompson, who is competing for the starting job this spring, reflected this adapting mindset that could soon become far more prevalent.

     

    Wait, how does he have time for lifts on the weekend after watching film 23 1/2 hours per day?

    Thompson portals to Wisconsin. Card portals to OU. Caleb Williams portals to Texas. Ewers beats him out but is injured in the second game. Williams takes over and beats OU in Dallas after Card, inexplicably, throws a late Pick Six when the Sooners were ahead. Williams becomes the only person to QB to victorious teams in the RRS.

    It is written.

    I mean- if I was Red I wouldn’t want to pull the trigger now if people are getting themselves hyped up for Stewart. 
    On a serious note I have no official or actual knowledge that Stewart is coming to school here. All indications are it’s actually not happening and it’s exactly what I said. Still, a part of me refuses to give up hope that it will happen. And that’s the part of me that’s been repeating the mantra- “it will all be on when we pull Ewers from the portal, flip Stewart ink some stuff offensive linemen and get a good WR and starting OL from the portal. And I was repeating that since about November 1st long before Ewers was in the portal. It’s just sort of a feeling. Not based on anything. 

    Wait. So did you piss on the dog or not?

    So what must Nahlin and Vogel have heard to be putting out such confident statements despite Ewers having an in-home with Tech today? Maybe it's just PTSD but I have a hard time trusting the $9.95ers on this one. But I want to belieeveee 

    My guess is they heard QE is visiting Austin soon, perhaps with some other ‘croots.
