  1. 0 to 10% chance of rain Monday through Thursday in Iowa. Friday it jumps to 70%.  Mid 40's for a temp.

      Sounds quite a bit nicer than this last Saturday.

      I saw today it was backed off to a 50% chance. I think our offense can be effective in drizzle or light rain.  I hope JD can play.

  2. 3 days in Vegas.  My first time and the wife had to fly instead to see her mother who is having surgery.  This is not a town to be alone in.  Running tomorrow in a Seniors Track Meet.  The competition should be the best I've seen.

      Yup, that's it.  Bentley's bar and grill 

  3. A Nebraska farmer got his foot caught in an auger and before it could pull him in and take his life he used his pocket knife to cut off his own leg 8" below the knee. The will to live was strong with this one.

  4. About a year ago some Omaha area 40 something dads got together and formed a band.  My son is one of the four and this is their first recording. Kid Nebraska is their name.

      I guess when I watch a game between two good teams I want more than the same not funny lines he's been using for 30 years.  No one would watch a comedian who used the exact same jokes in every show.  Raffs has been using the lines about "a little kiss off the glass" and "call the janitor to pick up the lingerie on the court" for so long I know when it's coming.

      I was about 35 when he was in college so he must be about 12 years younger.

  8. Each quarterfinal game today had a team with red as one of their colors.  All four lost.  Wisconsin, Nebraska, Ohio St and Rutgers.

  9. Georgia DC Mel Tucker the new Colorado head coach?

  10. Has anyone on the board ever dealt with the Quadratus Lumborum muscle in the low back? I first went to the chiropractor thinking it was in the spine. 8 trips and very little relief. Next was a trip to the PT and they needled it which seemed to make a difference but only for a few days.  I've found one stretch that helps.  Also laying on a tennis ball on the hot spot helps but the best I've found is an inversion table. Any suggestions?

      I love this guy's videos, and actually saw one about that quadratus not too long ago. I've been having different kinds of back pain as well, but none of it is actually related to the back muscles, moreso the internal connections and hips instead:

      Also another one, not necessarily the quadratus, but if you guys are like me with similar back pain, I highly recommend giving this a look. It turned out I was having problems with the gluteus mideus. This video actually changed my life:

      TonyStalloni

      Thanks Ulty.  I have seen the first one but will watch the second one. I like this guys teaching style also.

  11. I  watched several old Husker games the last 24 hours waiting on this storm.  Huskers vs Miss St in the Sun Bowl.  Nu vs Houston in the Cotton Bowl and Nu vs Oklahoma in 1988 regular season. That D was impressive.

      One thing that surprised me was how many small town Nebraska home grown kids started or played significant minutes on those early 80's teams.

      I've been watching games sporadically too this past week.  So many good one's on Youtube.

  12. I dreamed a song last night that I can't find on google or You Tube. The impression I remember from the style of the song is it sounded like the Allman Bros.  The singer was shocked that his girl friend had ended their relationship and he was trying to tell her they had something good.  Finally he realizes she won't be convinced and starts the chorus of the song with the line "It's all good, there's no bad."  Does this ring a bell with anyone?

  13. I listened to Urban Meyer's press conference after the game. He had a few good things to say about the Huskers. Listen at 5:50 and 7:50.

      Thanks_Tom RR

      @commando Here is the thing, he really could not. Nebraska played themselves into that position. The failures that Ohio St had in the game were due more to what Nebraska players (and coaches) did than what Ohio St players failed to do.

       

      It's not like their kicker slipped inexplicably. You could say Haskins INT was because of a poor decision (see Martinez's failed backward pass). However, even that I would say was because Nebraska's combo coverage baited that throw.

  14. I now understand why the Big 8/12 wanted Nebraska to go down in flames after the 97 season.  We had 3 Nattys in 5 years and it could have been 5 (Fla St and the loss to Texas in the CCG).  They were sick and tired of seeing scarlet and cream winning all the time and beating opponents by 40 points. I am sick of Alabama and the SEC and while I'm at it throw in Ohio St.

      Ohio State I don't have a problem with. They're mortal and drop games every year. Bama can suck a fart. It's disgusting watching them, they literally look like an NFL team across their front 7 and O-line.

      I've had bama & $EC fatigue for at least 5 years.  I could not possibly care any less about any of them than i currently do.  I will rejoice when someone else steps up to the plate.

      Eh, I felt that when LSU played bama for a natty that we were all getting jabbed. We being fans of college football and its rules/traditions. One team earned its way there. The other had money riding/backing it. The rest of the sport changed. As for the Huskers, everybody loves the underdog. We were heavyweights

  15. I was just listening to the Husker Game Show on the radio while I was driving.  We often make fun of anyone who says that refs have been over zealous on calls against us and underwhelming on calls against other teams that we play.  They had one of their stat guys do some research.  He found it has been 22 games since a Nebraska opponent was called for holding on a pass play that was accepted by us.  The last one was Illinois in 2016.  I'm curious if any other schools have even a 10 game stretch.

      I'm not saying we haven't had problems with our OL holding.  Replay shows that most are legitimate.  The stat that I wanted to draw attention to was our opponents not getting called for holding on a pass play in 22 games.  Todays offenses don't just pass on third down.  Granted many offenses get the ball out quickly before there is much engagement.

    3. Redux

      Redux

      No I agree, the refs has been pretty gun shy to flag our opponents, especially on holding.  It seems that when in doubt they flag us if it's questionable but opponents get the benefit of the doubt and they "let em play".

    4. whateveritis1224

      whateveritis1224

      Rutgers got called for a late hit on thorson that looked exactly like the hit on Martinez last week when he slid. Not saying we don’t deserve some/most of the calls we have, but more and more it feels like refs are calling things differently with us vs our opponents. 

  16. I'm not a fan of the Rams, but I hope Suh tears Brady a new one!

    1. Thanks_Tom RR

      Thanks_Tom RR

      It would be cool to see Suh deliver the “Colt McCoy treatment” to Brady.

      I have a sick feeling this is going to be a big Patriots win and I don't like it.

  17. Impressive day for Husker sports.  Ladies Volleyball in the Final Four and the mens Basketball team beats Creighton.  Now we just need a few of the visiting football players to commit tonight or tomorrow.

      Yeah he's one of the good ones. I don't know about others but Ed and Clete are the only two I really know by sight or name, all others are just run of the mill refs or zebras.

  19. It was a rough day yesterday at Nebraska Kearney.  4.6 million dollars in budget cuts throughout the university forced them to cut $450K from the Athletic Dept.  Adios mens baseball, tennis and golf.

      The truth is this is not unique to Nebraska, however, it does seem to be unique to states that currently have a sitting Republican governor with Koch brother support. Walker has done a real number on the University of Wisconsin system. Why is this bad? Becuase the university systems in rural states tend to be one of the most important economic drivers within a state. Not only do they train the next generation of workers, but they also provide valuable resources to farmers, ranchers, small businesses, and more. Diminishing the University systems to correct self-imposed budget shortfalls will overall weaken the state's economies and opportunities for future growth, as well as encourage, rather than discourage, the "brain drain." That rural states are already facing.

  21. Michigan basketball looks to be pretty formidable this year.  They devoured the Tar Heels like a Thanksgiving turkey. We play them at Ann Arbor this year so it will be a tall order for the Huskers.

    1. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      So what you're saying is that we'll beat Michigan...but then turn around and lose to Penn State at home?

  22. Michigan is going to be sick this winter.  OSU woke up.

      I'm good with this.  Now just need NW to bear OSU.

  23. Most of the NFL pundits I hear are saying that the display that KC and LA put on last night is the future of the league.  I've heard the phrase "Playing basketball on grass" many times in the last month.  I'm thinking that should play into Nebraska's recruiting speech for QB's, WR's and RB's that want to go beyond college.

      They're catering to the lowest common denominator. Too many people don't appreciate a good defensive battle. They think a 9-6 type game is boring. They know nothing.

    3. TonyStalloni

      TonyStalloni

      Exactly JJ.  On the D side I think Frost and Chin try to sell the idea that a great defense with this meteoric offense is capable of winning championships.  The National variety.

  24. My youngest son and 3 team mates are representing Nebraska in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Golf Championship today and tomorrow in South Carolina. They won the regional in Lincoln then won the state tournament in Valentine a month ago.
