  1. On the Big Red Wrap-Up page it names hosts Kevin Kugler and Jay Moore.  No more Blake??  Can't seem to find any verification of that.  Anyone?

      According to this report Blake is still going to be with Big Red Wrap Up (Although this report is from April of this year.  I couldn't find anything that said he had left?

      I'm pretty sure that when Jay was on Sharp and Benning, they discussed him being on BRW. 

  2. I'm convinced RTB is a product of a 3 way with Riley, Diaco, and a televangelist.

      Never understood his year 0 campaign.  He took over a program with a lot of momentum that was coming off a bowl victory over wash st. They had talent and were competing in the West.  

  3. The last step of erasing the last 3 years from my memory:  accepted a job offer to return to the same job (sorta) I left 3 years ago to work for the company from hell.

      I thought it would have had something to do with a lot of 180 proof booze and a friend who watched some medical shows. To each he's own Dilly.

      Well, another year of Riley and another year of this joke of a job, and i would have!

  4. Is this the year we have our first 1000 yard receiver?

      Interesting question, @huKSer - i went in search of, and found an article that said us and VaTech were the only P5 to never have had a 1000 yard receiver, but the article was three years old and i am too lazy to see if they had one happen since 2015.

      @Dilly Dilly I just looked VT had a 1000 yard receiver in ‘15 and ‘16.

      Grandma Snyder is a good one, i agree.  The rest of them are made to look a little creepy, with old man pornstaches.

  8. When prepping a house for later sale, would one touch up paint that already exists, or repaint everything white and let new home owner pick what to change to?

      I think we got 6 complete sets (3 from each mint) collected.  I don’t recall Nebraska being a tough one but quite a few from the Philly mint were hard to come by around here.

      I believe these are laser projectors and the cheapest is about 25k.  Betting something for a football field is probably in the 500k to 1 mil and would probably need about 10 of them.  I have a buddy who does it for the Golden Knights and they spent in the 15 mil range.  The software and hardware to run it in sync costs a pretty penny in itself.

      I lurk on their forum occasionally, mostly to see how Frost had done things his first season there and because it's the off season. Some of it's pretty funny. E.g. they've convinced themselves their new coaching staff is an upgrade

    4. Scarlet Overkill

      Scarlet Overkill

      Same, @Moiraine.  I pop over sometimes if I'm super bored.  They're going to score more points than they did, play faster than they did, have better coaches than they did -- considering Heuple comes from a deeper coaching tree and whatnot, and bonus -- they have clown cars full of talent.  They reminded me of Kansas Fan after their orange bowl season.

      It's a pretty sad, when FCS and DII players are taken - because they worked hard to get noticed.  Meanwhile, we had talent here that went completely undeveloped and allowed to slack off.

      @Dilly Dilly Ok, I'm busted and so is @Branno at 7-5 but like I said I really felt it would be worse.  I was ready to move on from Riley early in the season when it was obvious to me that we weren't where we should be as a program.  Fire Riley talk was discouraged but whenever the fledgling Frost train came up (usually after a loss) I tried to push it along.  As UCF's season took off and ours tanked, the Frost train became unstoppable.  By season's end I can only think of 1 poster that thought we shouldn't fire Riley.  My only concern with Frost was that our defense would become soft(er) practicing against his offense.  The coaches stress being physical so I'm no longer concerned.  I'm pessimistic about next season since I don't believe 1 off season will undo what wasn't done the past 3 or more years as far as development particularly in the weight room.  Changing offense, defense is minor compared to attitudes, habits and mentality.  7-5 this season would be amazing and regardless of how good we look in the spring game, I won't be more optimistic.

    3. Scarlet Overkill

      Scarlet Overkill

      I wasn't here to bust you - i just couldn't believe anyone saw a 6 or fewer win team.  I saw that happening before Callahan's last year (when everyone had such high hopes and thought the sky was the limit).  In both coaches' last seasons, they were worse than I could have even imagined it would be.  Hope that changes this year, but i'm willing to be patient.  Takes while to build that thing back up.

    4. Branno

      Branno

      @4skers89 my exact post was “I see 5 losses, 5 wins, and 2 toss ups. I really hope I'm wrong, but I see us as 7-5 max but possibly 5-7.”

       

      Please tell me how that means my claim that I saw the team going 5-7 after the spring game is busted.

      Kraft mac & cheese was a staple in our household when I was growing up.  Velvetta had a weird texture to me for whatever reason.  I bought some about a year ago and it just wasn't the same as how I remembered it.  I was surprisingly bummed I didn't enjoy it more since I had such fond memories of it growing up.  The other problem is my SO makes absolutely dynamite homemade mac and cheese so my taste buds have been elevated slightly haha.

      How experimental are we talking about? Putting pot in Runzas experimental? Dropping LSD and doing the Tunnel Walk experimental? Having your MILF wife hook up with a co-ed on campus while you record it on your phone experimental? 

       

      All of these are acceptable answers for collegiate experimentation--I just didn't know how far you wanted the ADs to experiment during Spring games. :dunno

      Well, maybe if Nebraska can lead the way by removing the stigma around alcohol for children by letting them buy beer, we won't have as many alcohol-binge drinking issues going forward?
