I'd read more of the Journal Star if Sipple wrote like they did back in the Twenties.

The horseshoe was found when they started tearing down the grounds of the old Nebraska field after the 1922 Notre Dame win (4 horsemen game) Which was the last game at the old field before moving to Memorial Stadium for 1923. So when the team played Notre Dame for the rematch in 1923 they tapped the horseshoe for good luck. Nebraska won again so they kept right on tapping that shoe.

Do you like fish sticks?

Pretty sure you're thinking of a different one, but Riley was certainly 'All Apologies' last year...

You must've hated the 90s.

That is not the same thing.

From a little distance they look like ears of corn.

I may be in the minority, but I wouldn't even mind that gold color with our uniforms

Harry Stuhldreher, James Crowley, Don Miller and Elmer Layden were regarded as the greatest backfield ever. The "Four Horsemen" lost just two of the 30 games they played together, and both losses came at the hands of Nebraska http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/football/top-50/beating-the-four-horsemen/article_41969b09-56bf-5f59-aaeb-ab4bca0bf88d.html

So never tell your kid about: Lawrence Phillips Carl Pelini Frank Solich Jason and Christian Peter Andy Christiansen Brandon Reilly Avery Moss Suh (people forget that he hit parked cars to “avoid hitting a cat”) Terrel Farley I’m sure there are more I’m missing. But what I’m trying to say is that every college football programs had or will have players that make mistakes. It’s unavoidable.

I’d like it if all Husker football players had a 4.0 in pre-med or engineering. They must all be 6’ tall too, so I can tell my son that that’s what happens when you eat all your vegetables. You probably have a parenting problem if you can’t teach your kid not to steal.

These bands all absolutely suck.

Since the subject came up in the other thread, I thought I'd start a list here.

If this was playing with Husker Vision, try to not get fired up.

Might go well with these...haha.

You'll all make fun of me for this, but I genuinely know nothing about Kanye West. I know the name, I know he's married to Kim Kardashian, they have kids, and he's a musician. I have no idea about this guy other than this. So when this whole Kanye situation came up, I ignored it because the guy isn't on my radar. I live a Kanye-free life. So in that context I see this video that got retweeted onto my timeline. This is Kanye West?

He doesn't have to think it. He has to make his followers think it. And judging by comments we see right here, they buy every word that comes out of this guy's mouth.

How much of a moron do you have to be to think this? If you try to stop people whose job it is to decide innocence or guilt, you've obstructed justice regardless of whether or not you're guilty of a crime. Trump has tweeted repeatedly that he wants the investigation to stop, and any attempts to force it to stop (e.g. firing Comey? he's admitted at least once it was because of the investigation) are obstruction even if he is innocent of the topic of the investigation. I've said it many times - I don't think Trump colluded. I think the investigation hurt(s) his ego and because of that he obstructed justice.

It's why you maximize and try to sign them in the early signing period.

A common drum beat from groups like the NRA is that more guns, particularly in public places, is a deterrent to gun violence. Using this theory, a room full of gun-carrying NRA members should be one of the single safest environments for a vice president. We should expect backlash from gun rights activists, no? As it turns out, there is some criticism and acknowledgement: The bolded sort of aligns with what you were saying. Yes, the Secret Service supersedes local control, but there's no doubting the ironic nature of the whole situation.

Ohio St is really the only one I'd put in another group, that's a very tough one. Michigan is that catalyst game....don't expect to win it, but if you do then it can create a positive snowball.

I've made the point Mav is making several times, it's a great point. The reason it's not more commonly cited is because SOS filters are designed to be universal. But they are not, or maybe you could say shouldn't be, because some games it doesn't matter much if it's at home or not due to the margin between teams. It's a difficult schedule either way, but I think Nebraska can run the home slate, I really do. Troy will get everyone's attention after last year and they lose a lot of experienced production. Great coach, though, glad this one is early. Michigan St is another one circled, but I just don't have much respect for them. There is just such a gulf between what people think of them and their actual production in about any given year. It's like they get the respect of a blue blood with the expectations of a mid major. One of my favorite metrics is yards per play differential, you'll see me cite it a lot when trying to evaluate how good a team is compared to their record. Michigan St was a 10 win team....out gained their opponents by +0.3 yards per play. Your typical top 10 caliber team is in the 1.5-2.0 ypp range. Riley's best year, his first, was at +0.2. (Cited for context) By Pythagorean win expectation, another good "double check metric" Michigan St expected win total was 8-5 last year. The home game that scares me as much as any is Purdue. They had such a difficult time last year converting on plays that were there for the taking. They were overvalued, IMO, last year, but they fit the profile of a team that should be much better.

Don't forget that ole samich eater Eric Crouch. He had the audacity to eat a $4 ham sandwich—an infraction that caused quite a stir within the halls of the ncaa.

The sooner your son realizes that some people get advantages in sports due to their insane talent or size, the better. Yeah, it's not always fair, but in most cases talent trumps everything.

What makes you think we’re in a spot to be picky? If a talented player, especially one that fills a giant need, wants N we shouldn’t turn him away. Mistakes were made. He paid the price and deserves a second chance imo

So you don't want him to learn that people can make mistakes and find redemption.

I think that's fairly well-reasoned. I'm still sitting at a best case scenario of 7, maybe eight wins. I would be a tad surprised and a little disappointed with anything five wins or less.

We are paying him darned good money to coach them beavers, he better do better than that!

That is the most bogus statement I have ever read. Bo tried his damndest to win here. He gave seven years, if you don't think he is a "HUSKER" then you surely aren't either.

Committed to Alabama No one wins

Sounds like the staff is moving forward with this. Had a long meeting with Farmer yesterday to get going and figure out what all needs to happen over the summer to make this happen.

But let's not joke about someone's makeup.

This is the first time I've heard this song but so far of the ones nominated I like this one best. High energy, jump around vibe and decent lyrics.

No, that's not how to figure it. It's how many kids there are in the schools, not just playing football. And the Metro has not been pulling it's weight - nor has Lincoln for that matter. The Huskers missed on Fant but all the guys the Huskers have gotten the last three or so years have been Class B/C guys.

Was a JUCO All-American in 2016 but redshirted last year. Will play this year, graduate in December and have two years to play wherever he goes next.

He moved to this school because his dad switched jobs. But yeah, it's his fault. Sure he did.

He screwed Nebraska while he was here, and now the Cowboys. Useless is the word that describes him for me. It was while he was here and it still is today. He got his money to burn. Have at it. As to those that say it does no harm. I live in the mountains. California has legalized growing it on a permit basis. We now have grow houses in our remote community with the low life that goes along with the business. I have a friend that has been a weed user since the middle 60's. He is blind, can barely hear but takes his medicinal MJ every day since Viet Nam. I have not seen it do him any good in any way. He could never hold a job, lives in a 30 year old trailer that is falling apart. But he tells me every time I see him, how it has no affect on him in any way. And he does do harder drugs, if it led him to them who knows. My son has an upscale home in Beaumont, CA. Across the street were renters. Hardly showed up, but never got out of the car, pulled in the garage and went in the house. Never spoke to anyone. It was an illegal grow house. 500K in damage to the home, stole electricity and water. Yea there is no problem with it. We need it on every corner. And the good part is, no charges for destroying the house, but for stealing the electricity and water, it was a felony. The owner lost his ass on it. There are more sides to it than just feeling grovey.
