No wonder Tanner threw so many INTs, the defense could hear the football coming.

Might as well eliminate the kickoff and place the ball at the 25.

Hi, @1994 Husker First, thanks for your service! I've been to any Fan Days over the years, and like @Enhance said, I've posted pictures of many of them here. Depending on my schedule I'll do it again this year as well. They change the format just about every year, but in general the field is laid out like this, from 2010: You have your position groups in various parts of the field, lines snake around the field for each group, and it's very difficult to get through more than two groups in the 90 minutes allotted for Fan Day. Like others have said, the line for the Head Coach is very long, stretching the length of the field every year. The two lines down the center of the field in this 2010 photo are for Bo (one line) and for the assistant coaches (the other line). You wouldn't, for example, be able to get through both of these lines in 90 minutes. The crowd is a little sparse in this picture, but that is not the norm. Usually the field is chock full of people, like in this 2014 photo for Bo's final year when fan interest was waning again: I took that picture from the West Stadium where the Freshmen usually sit. If you're going, and you want to get some early autographs, that line isn't usually as long because most folks don't know the Freshmen sit up there. The lines are ALWAYS long to get in, because only four gates are open (one on each corner of the stadium, usually). People arrive hours early and wait in line. It's tough on kids, and it's helpful if you have two adults available - one to watch the kids and one to run for food/drinks while waiting to get in. Here's the line in the north parking lot waiting to get into Gate #3 (top left corner of the diagram above) from 2015: Like most people are saying, expect this to be the craziest, and longest line for the Head Coach that we've seen in... probably forever. While the line usually goes the length of the field, sometimes it doubles back and is longer than 100 yards. It will easily be that long this year, and probably much longer. If you want to get Coach Frost's autograph, odds are good that is the only one you'll get. And unless you get there really early, it's very possible that you could wait in that line the entire time and still not get his autograph.

If we were talking about professional sports that are businesses designed to create profits, then I'd agree with you. But we're talking about universities that are supposed to be about learning. How is a revenue metric even relevant for a university? An equally valid question is: why not eliminate revenue in university sports? Answer: because it provides funds for additional learning opportunities outside the specific sport making money. That's how you end up talking about fairness and equality - fairness and equality in opportunity of education. If we're not talking about sports in the university as part of education and learning, then split those sports out as minor league teams and let them profit or fold as a business.

Cottage cheese is wonderful.

maybe the resistance could make some money selling these

Space X launch in gif form.

Dang...look at me!

Ah yes, the old "my point is obviously true, it's you who needs to go research why I'm right." But it's easy to refute your claim, so here's the first link in a google search (bolded in quote to refute that your claim that boys are somehow ignored in school): Boys vs. girls: What's behind the college grad gender gap?

Phillips made a point to say that NU’s done a good job of recruiting in-state players. But he also said that “if Nebraska had offered me six months ago, I probably wouldn’t have made that trip to Stanford in the first place.” But NU didn’t. So Phillips took the trip. And he’ll attend Stanford. (from 2015) http://www.omaha.com/huskers/blogs/recruiting-harrison-phillips-picks-stanford-over-nebraska-k-state/article_6d2f6fa0-083c-5130-86b2-e7724482f3db.html IMHO, I do not think kids like this will be leaving for lack of or a late offer from Frost and Co. They might go elsewhere, but not from lack of a timely offer....

The man speaks the truth. Just be prepared for the aftermath.... Lazlo's or Fireworks are favorites anytime I come back home (same owners for both). The Oven has great Indian food and a nice cocktail bar downstairs. Leadbelly's is an awesome American Bistro with good burgers (Raspberry Beret, get it!) The Wateringhole opned up another location in the Haymarket, great grilled wings. Hiro 88 has good sushi Those are the one I can think of when I was back for Christmas...

Dunno. Depends on what Moos has set in his mind for criteria. If Miles needed to make the NCAA tourney to keep his job safe, he most likely didn’t do that. Yes we had substantial improvement, but history shows that won’t be sustained next year. Frankly, I’m to where I am indifferent about giving Miles another season. We’ve been flirting with competence under Miles but whenever the big games happen, we typically show little in the way of preparation, progress, or a positive/loose mindset. Don’t know that Miles has the basketball mind to make the improvements necessary for sustained success. It’s as if Miles is a much nicer version of Bo Pelini—he can build up win totals and occasionally steal a game from a better team, but when the spotlight is on the team, they usually crap the bed (unless we’re at home). Bottom line: Nebraska basketball and its fans deserve measured, sustained progress and a coach that can make the adjustments and win the big games away from home. I don’t think we have that, sadly.

thats gonna leave like 10-15 schools playing football. lets do it.

What on earth are you talking about?

If I were a kicker I'd be entirely against this. If you spend years and years practicing to have the ball have as much hang time and land as close to the one yard line, that is a money making skill the NFL looks for. The rule making committee sure tries to bend over backwards to make it seem like they are all for player safety. What they are doing is chipping away at the game until there is no more game left.

I’ve watched bits and pieces of the combine and read some highlights. The best stories are thise of kids like Griffin who have had to overcome so much. Here’s a kid with only one hand absolutely tearing it up. Griffin is 227 lbs., has one hand, and put up 20 reps on the bench press. Nick Gates, at a doughy 307 lbs., could only muster 20 reps. Imagine how much better Gates could have been if he had anywhere close to the heart and desire of a player like Griffin. Gates is a Husker in name only. Kids who waste talent by not caring, trying, or putting in the work don’t deserve to play for Nebraska.

i liked the catcher barking at him after he stood and watched it a bit. suck it schockers.

I'm in my 30s and I just spent about 30 minutes trying to get an Enderman out of my Minecraft base.

Spring Schedule: First Practice: Friday, March 16, 6-8 AM Practices will be Tuesday and Thursday from 7:30-10:05 AM from March 27-April 19 Saturday practices on March 31, April 7 & April 14 Last Pre-Spring-Game practice on Friday, April 20, 4:30-6:00 PM Spring Game - Saturday, April 21 @ 11 AM Final Spring Practice - Monday, April 23 Notes: Tuesday/Thursday practices are earlier than they did at UCF but they're trying to go early enough to not have too many class conflicts. Still working on what they'll do in the fall. Other schools have had a "clean-up" practice after the Spring Game but Nebraska has not. Gives a chance to go over what happened in the Spring Game. But it sounds like the main reason for it is the timeframe between Spring Break and April 21. Frost wanted the Spring Game on April 28 but couldn't get it to work. So they had to have one practice before Spring Break and one practice after the Spring Game to make it work.

Doc Sadler at Nebraska: 101-89 (53.2%) Tim Miles at Nebraska: 97-96 (50.3%)

They've changed up the format subtly over the last several years but the general format has been pretty consistent - player lines are set up on the outskirts of the field by position group. Brand new recruits sit up in the stands at a table. The head coach usually sits in a tent right by the north end zone and a line for him extends all the way to the southwest exit. They usually put all of the assistant coaches around the 50-yard line so people can get those and then stay in line to get the head coach. As a general rule of thumb, you'll need to pick and choose what matters most to you. If you just want Frost (and don't want to stand in line for hours before the gates open) then Frost might be the only autograph you have time to get. You'll be standing in that line almost the whole time if you're not one of the first in the door. If you do get in line hours before the gates open and you're one of the first to get the coach's sig, you may have time to get sigs from one or two other position groups. Just keep in mind that thousands of fans come, this year is probably going to be on steroids by comparison to last year and they usually only give something like 60-90 minutes for autographs. PS - IIRC @knapplc has taken photos from some in the past and posted them on the board

Cannot let Nebraska kids like that leave. If he went to Stanford just for the degree, then I get it, but dang. All American from Omaha who puts up 42 reps.

So not only has he actually proposed taking away guns from people who purchased them legally; he now makes remarks about trying to get rid of terms to stay in power...... Pretty sure this was the crap my crazy cousins were scared of happening under Obama.

I think for S&G's, we should offer THIS 3 STAR QB from MO

Being masculine is probably a lot like being pretty...it really depends on the other persons point of view.

.i missed one day in the series...that’s okay though. I’m glad to have what I have. If your sentimental like I am, or desire memorabilia of historic events, the. this series is probably something you are going to want.. ..I’m trying to figure out a display case type project in my wood shop..preserving newspapers is no small task..

Yes, but how many Nebraska fans are message board nerds like most of us on here. It was a good series to give details to the average fan, and try to pump some life blood into their subscription service.

I've hidden one of your posts and moved one to Offending Posts. If you're still not getting the hint that I'm trying to do all I can to NOT give you a warning/suspension for Trolling there there is only one more step left.

Why would I care?

Maybe, maybe not. Looks like they still COULD have been in the Top 30. Depends on how everyone finishes. I've seen a couple guys on Twitter bemoaning the same thing. Which does stink for us - that our best win is so marginal that it's barely good enough to be good. But others are trying to use it as evidence of a flaw in the system. Which of course it isn't. It's how math works. And it's because the only RPI that matter is the one at the end of the year after all games have been played. So the fact that it can change as the season goes along shouldn't be surprising to people. And it's kind of odd to me that so many seem to be surprised by that.

Facts are neither liberal nor conservative, they are facts. Holding each other accountable for fact-based discussion, leaving emotion as far off the table as possible, is a hallmark of this site. It comes from conservatives, liberals and moderates alike, and it is absolutely the best way to handle difficult conversations. That you, and people like you, continue this plaint that "the board is liberal" while speaking at and with conservatives shows that you neither understand who you're talking to nor care to find out. Why? Because you're not interested in legitimate discussion, you're interested in having your opinion heard, and you don't care about the opinions of others.

Sloth, by far. Sometimes I'm too lazy to fi

To be clear, there's a tangible difference between discussing something involving sports and politics and taking pot shots at certain political affiliations. That should've been made clear based on one of the posts that was moved and those that weren't.

It's the difference between formal and informal address for me. When I'm introducing my boss to someone in a formal setting, It's "This is my boss, Robert Debondehaven." But when I'm introducing him to someone in a familiar setting, it's, "This is my boss, Bob." Nebraska Cornhuskers is the formal name, what you should lead the article or broadcast with. After that, Huskers is OK. If an announcer uses "Cornhuskers" all game long it seems unnecessarily formal, as if we're not part of the club, outsiders. It always made me feel like they were talking about their buddy, someone personable and approachable, when they call us Huskers after the game starts. It always seemed like Keith Jackson would revert to calling us the Huskers as the game wore on.

Yikes! I understand your point, but please never put Frost on the same level as MR. Frost inherited a 0-12 team, and was a first time HC. Winning 6 games was very good. MR would have found a way to have a record worse than 0-12. I believe it will take time to recover from the mess MR, SE and their accomplices left behind, maybe all we get is six wins this year, but it will be a momentum building year ... I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

There is nothing wrong with using both names just as we do now. Huskers is great for cheers, etc. but Cornhuskers is our legacy and heritage and the team represents the state of Nebraska and derived its name from the crop which is the very lifeblood of the state's economy, etc. Without our irrigated corn, Nebraska would essentially be South South Dakota economically. There is nothing to be ashamed of and certainly much for all Nebraskans and Nebraska fans to be proud of. It is completely apolitical and represents the hard working productive people who annually harvest the most useful and valuable renewable commodity on the planet!

We're not Iowa, where one good season every 6 years equals a lifetime contract and a ridiculous paycheck. Not even in basketball.

I just want to say kudos to the Nebraska bench mob. Those guy's excitement on the bench is fun to watch and brings some energy to this team. Some great stuff by them.

I tried a cardio campaign a couple of years ago, walking a minimum five miles a day, just about every day, for about 14 months. Didn't change my eating habits at all, and I didn't lose any weight at all. I badly hurt my back at the end of that (which is why I stopped) and I really haven't done much by the way of exercise in the past two years. Haven't really changed my eating habits much, but I did start drinking quite a bit more wine. I've lost about 15lbs since hurting my back. Which pretty much goes to show you that nature is evil and much of your weight is genetic.
