People can raise awareness about the dangers of playing football without making an ass of themselves. Ed turned every situation about him and turned it into The Ed Cunningham Show. We're all concerned about the health of the people who play the sport we love. We can show that concern without becoming jerks about it. Ed couldn't do that, and rightfully retired.

Here is a bold prediction. By the time we play Wisconsin and Iowa, we will be favored.

Hello all, The following is an updated and summarized guideline of Huskerboard’s policy surrounding politically-themed content, specifically in areas outside of the Politics & Religion (P&R) sub forum, though not exclusively. If you have questions or concerns, please comment below or send a private message to a board moderator or admin. No politically-themed content in status updates Please do not share news or commentary related to politics, policies, elected officials, the president, or topics that would fall under the political umbrella. The P&R forum is the only place to share these opinions and discuss a candidate, elected official, or policy. No politically-themed content in Huskerboard user profiles This limitation extends to profile avatars, user names, signatures, and other forward-facing aspects of user profiles including those featured in posts and updates. Moderator/admin discretion will determine what is acceptable and what isn't. Deference will not be given to ambiguity If a mod or admin believes some element of a user profile violates any of the above, that user will be required to remove the violation. Refusal to do so in a timely fashion may result in the account being moderated and/or suspended until the violation is corrected. The account may also face a ban if the violation is deemed intentional, the user has a history of abusing this policy, or at moderator/admin discretion. Only members with a minimum of 250 posts will be granted access to the Politics & Religion sub-forum The limit is in place to prevent abuse of the P&R sub-forum, however, Board Guidelines will still be enforced to the fullest extent once a member is granted access. If a moderator/admin believes a member with less than 250 posts is trying to improperly increase their post count in order to access the sub-forum, the member in question may face penalties up to and including a Huskerboard account ban. Actions that may be considered improper include, but are not limited to, multiple and repeated posts in the 'Last to Post Wins' thread, multiple posts in a thread when a single post would've sufficed, or multiple posts across several threads that appear to be of no real value. If this behavior is uncovered posthumously, after a member is granted access to the P&R sub-forum, that member may still be held accountable for their actions up to and including a Huskerboard account ban. Why such a hardline stance against politics? Most users come here for the primary reason of discussing Husker sports. The board has experienced situations in the past where political debates made their way into other forums outside of P&R. These debates often featured personal attacks or other board violations. Some members have also complained the political spillover into other parts of the board is a turn off. Keeping political discussions inside the P&R forum gives users a specific place they can go to discuss these topics. As always, any political comments made in the P&R section must adhere to our Board Rules. Thank you, Huskerboard's Leadership Team

I heard crosswalk is a real baller. Does a good job of cutting off traffic

It's kind of ridiculous to claim that playing football is the only activity that will do that for a kid.

(This is actually a pretty good idea, and one we should have done a while ago)

The season is close, but not close enough. Enjoy these few videos while you wait for the soon to come glory (or doom depending on who is reading this).

Sounds like the 90s to me. I'm all for WINNING football games.

Unfortunately, we are the Dark Horse. We need to get to the point where the West is a One Horse race, Wisconsin is backing the Wrong Horse, Northwestern is the Dark Horse, and Iowa losing is like beating a Dead Horse. And the Gophers can go row a boat, or something.

Why couldn't they have done a spot featuring the acclaimed Sheldon Art Gallery?

WTF.....you said this would get me through till Saturday. That's something like 33 hours from now. You only posted roughly 9 minutes of videos.

I also agree with this. Sadly, I gather most of my news and heads up of current events from Huskerboard. I just cannot stand to watch any TV news and I don't have the inclination to go looking for news on other sites. The handy thing is when someone posts that such and such happened in a status update and then I am aware and go search further information if I want. But, as you say, it can be a fine line between posting something factual that has happened and taking a shot at Trump or beginning to troll the subject. It probably comes down to wording, presentation and subtlety. And that's why mods get paid the big bucks

I think the main point is to stay away from the stuff that is just going to lead to bickering. That can stay in the P&R Forum. We've not trying to say that stuff like "Make sure you vote today" or "Asking for prayers for my surgery" can't ever be in there. But stuff like "[Insert politician here] doing this again" or "If god was real he would/wouldn't ....." isn't productive, takes away from the main focus of the board - Husker sports, especially football - and many would appreciate not having to wade through that to find other information they really came here to find. That can have a place in the forum where people who are more interested in those conversations know where to find it.

NU wins a close one, we have work to do.

I'm a little late to the party but wanted to add my two cents. The processor isn't as important to upgrade as it used to be. If you're only going to game, an i5 is plenty. I've got an i5 3570k overclocked to 4.2ghz and it still isn't a bottleneck. However, if you do more intensive stuff like 3d rendering, by all means, go for virtual cores. You want to have a great PSU especially if you want to future proof. I mean you can always buy another one, but why not have a great one out of the gate. Go for bronze rated at a minimum and shoot for gold or plat. rated if possible. All that means is it delivers more of the rated power. As for monitors, I refer VA and MVA monitors for the eye candy, and the tech is getting better so there's not too much of a drop off in response time between those and an ips panel. My computer is getting a little old, but I'll post specs since we're all being nerds here.

Too dark in here for a more recent pic, but all the equipment is the same. Monitor is on a white folding table that i tuck in the back when I'm using the big screen.

And as much as Husker fans will when Josh visits A&M with Jordan later this fall?

True. And NU wasn't good enough to completely rise above it too. But local media have hinted that Cunningham's crusade in that game got Eric Martin suspended. Also, you'll never convince me in a million years that the Texas A&M game wasn't influenced by the conference.

That chair is my heart and soul. It keeps me going through the rough days

Fair enough. Have you always been this curmudgeonly, or is it just me that you seem especially so this week?

I think this would be a fun weekly topic so why not? Some of my bold predictions for week 1: Wyoming will beat Iowa Nebraska will excede the o/u by themselves FSU will beat Bama tOSU vs Indiana will be close, and BYU LSU will not be close at all West Virginia wins @ Virginia Tech What do you guys think? Leave some of your 'bold preditions' also! I am interested to see this!

Hahahaha Doug Fluties in...here's a boys medium...that'll work. Had me cracking up.

I enjoy game of Thrones references.

People are just too dang sensitive nowadays. Everything has to be reviewed for political correctness to make sure some delicate snowflake doesn't get offended. This is why Saturday Night Live isn't funny anymore. Our AD whining about this only adds to the problem. *Almost* any publicity is good publicity. Do we prefer that Fox Sports not have Nebraska in their promotional material? I don't think so. The ad is fine.

Embrace the pain. It will make you stronger

this is my bold bold PREDICTION

That's a great question. I don't personally have a problem with that because it's not an opinion or an opportunity to editorialize a political issue. Instead, you'd be directing members to engage in a conversation elsewhere. In this example, I would simply reiterate to use fair judgement. Not every thread or topic deserves to have people mention something about it in the status updates. I don't think people do it very often as it is. Plus, delivery matters. Saying it as you did is OK, but if someone says something like 'Come discuss the stupid thing candidate X is proposing in this thread <link to thread>" then that's a problem.

I'll let you know after I've decided whether or not to ban you.

I agree that top-15 is where we need to be to be competing for titles on a semi-regular basis. I also agree that winning the conference would put us over the hump. We have a ways to go to even crack the top-20, though. Look at the gaps in scores on that 2017 roster talent list: 1 996 Alabama 2 956 Ohio State 3 934 USC 4 931 Georgia 5 925 Florida State 6 907 LSU 7 874 Michigan 8 866 Auburn 9 854 Clemson 10 838 Notre Dame 11 831 UCLA 12 817 Tennessee 13 811 Texas 14 810 Stanford 15 807 Texas A&M 16 801 Oklahoma 17 797 Ole Miss 18 795 Florida 19 778 Penn State 20 749 Miami 21 718 Oregon 22 717 Arkansas 23 712 Arizona St 24 709 Mississippi St 25 707 Washington 26 698 UNC 27 697 South Carolina 28 696 Maryland 29 693 Nebraska 30 681 Michigan State 31 671 Kentucky 32 671 TCU 33 662 Virginia Tech 34 660 Pitt 35 647 Baylor 36 642 Louisville 37 636 Oklahoma St 38 634 Wisconsin 39 629 Utah 40 628 Duke 41 628 Northwestern

Holy crap yes. Yes, Memorial Stadium is surrounded by concrete, but this is an ad for the CORNHUSKERS. It's a play on Children of the CORN. It makes sense, and it's effective advertising. We don't need to prove that eastern Nebraska is "civilized." Anyone with half a brain already knows that.

Still working on this. It's now an add-on to the board. I'm testing the process of adding a separate add-on (smaller scale) to make sure everything works correctly but something isn't loading correctly. Once we get that figured out, we'll try to get the add-on implemented to "fix" the status updates.

Yeah, perhaps "main" wasn't quite the correct term. Perhaps "primary" would be closer?

We actually have a very nice group coming this weekend. Crocker possible commit???? Joshua Moore Jordan Moore Put a scare into a&m fans Crosswell Friends with Hall who we also want Brown

All this Wyoming talk (I like them too) makes me think they end up getting beat with ease now.

Officially dead.

While I agree with this idea, and will happily comply, I think "the main focus of the board" conversation should be addressed. HuskerBoard started out as a message board for Husker Fans, but it has, thankfully, branched out into a much broader spectrum of conversation. On this board you will find good conversations about: Politics & Religion Food (Thanks, Roxy!) Streaming Computers & Gaming General Life Stuff Television, movies & streaming A lot of general nonsense (which is usually entertaining) HuskerBoard is no longer - and should not strive to be - solely a place to discuss Husker sports. We're the Wal-Mart of message boards. We started out offering generic goods, but branched out into grocery, automotive, sports, TVs, etc. That should be the future of this board, with the obvious acknowledgement that Husker Football will always be the engine that drives the car.

Very similar to last year at 26. 2015 was 24 so we are seeing the trend down in Pelini's last years of recruiting. However, Riley's first three recruiting classes minor this level of talent. He needs to win to substantially bump the talent level to top 15--which is the level it needs to be for long term success and by win let's start with the West Division and finish with less than 4 losses. This level of success would allow for a strong finish for this year's recruiting class.

Yeah it kinda was. I can't find the tweets of the dude who created the trophy (he tweeted pictures of himself making it) but it started on twitter with Goldy Gopher asking fauxPelini if he cared to make an online wager a couple of days before the game. The internet ran with it, finally the dude in Minnesota slapped together the trophy in his garage in time for him to give it to Goldy to take to Lincoln. He did it on his own but it was pretty immediately embraced by Minnesota, Nebraska and the online community at least. The trophy travelled for a few years but the NUAD definitely shut it down (it appears that Minnesota is not interested in maintaining the Chair as an official trophy either): http://247sports.com/Bolt/Nebraska-wants-the-5-Bits-of-Broken-Chair-Trophy-to-go-away-49203334 This document contains pretty definitive proof that NU (and UM, too) shut the trophy down, one line in particular to pay attention to is quoted below: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2SYfiSSgUO-UkhtVkZLSlNSYW8/view ">>>No idea on the whereabouts of the chair since it's not an official trophy game. I don't think either school is interested in promoting it if we can avoid that." As for Minnesota fans? Yeah, they still talk about it, here's a thread from GopherHole just within the last couple of weeks: http://www.forums.gopherhole.com/boards/showthread.php?77418-The-Jug-Pig-Bell-and-Axe&highlight=bits+of+broken+chair

...cats and dogs sleeping together.

Someone should do a montage of his worst calls....could call it Cunningham's Greatest Hits.

Lee accounts for at least 5 touchdowns (4 passing, 1 rushing). Kalu grabs two INTs. Arkansas State will not score in the first half. Tyjon Lindsey will have a rushing TD. Florida beats Michigan, Wyoming beats Iowa, Florida State beats Alabama, and Maryland beats Texas.

Rule of thumb: don't listen to Dirk.

Here's that play- And here's highlights of the 2010 Mizzou game for nostalgia purposes. Osbourne's hit is at 8:11. Meredith gets flagged for a hit at 3:08.

I wish P5 teams didn't do this anymore
