@Xmas32 yeah the starting rotation is awful and this is a team that can be in the hunt for a wild card spot if they can add a legit starter, but they don’t have much in the farm to give up without putting the future in further jeopardy. 

@Savage Husker agreed.  I just don't know what they're going to do as the farm system is pretty barren right now.  I guess the only hope would be if a team is looking to shed salary and the Ms can pick someone up as a half season rental and eat the salary in exchange for a low level prospect.  I'd love to be able to get a guy like Jake Odorizzi but I think the cost will be too high.  The only starters I can think of right now would be guys like Jordan Zimmerman or Smardzija due to their huge contracts.  The Walker trade looks like a huge win right now which is great.  I feel for Walker though, he's got electric stuff and it's a shame he got hurt.

I was happy with the Walker trade and especially happy to see the results so far. It’s too bad he keeps getting nicked up but that’s why I’m happy we sent him to Arizona. I was hoping they’d consider Harvey but not unhappy they didn’t get him, he’s a headcase. At this point, they need to be in striking distance in July to go buy a pitcher, unless Kuma comes back from injury looking like his no-hitter self from 3-4 years ago. 

They got themselves a steal, imo.

Yup. Not to make a comment in haste, but the kid seems to have some issues to sort out. Some real concerning tweets

There are a LOT of things not right in Ann Arbor lately.  LULZ!

Wow! That is a disturbing picture, NUance. I mean who wears cargo pants? 

To be fair everyone complains about their jobs.  Teachers, farmers, cops, doctors, bank tellers, lawyers, soldiers—EVERYONE.  (Even me!)   

I think it’s especially sad how the teachers have had so much power stripped away. I’m not asking for the treatment my parents got from nuns or teachers and spanking them or hitting them rulers (true stories) but it’s sad when teachers get put bad in their place when they show more care for a child than a parent does. My HS baseball coach just stepped down because he couldnt handle the parents anymore. He had to have a meeting with the principal who had the audacity to talk to a varsity coach about kids’ playing time...

Historically I agree with you Nuance, but recent history (15-20 years or so), I think teachers are handcuffed and scapegoated.

That was actually really funny; Bahe is always better when Schick is around. 

BaheJay is horrible on his own.

Thanks for the heads up on this - that was hilarious.

"And we just laughed and laughed..."

It will be fine. Defenses are more about situational sets than they are about the actual scheme. If you call off the lions to try to protect a lead when getting after it was how you got there...then that's on the coach's defensive playcalling. Not the scheme.

I agree Coach. I think the USF and especially the Memphis game was more of an exception than the rule. And I’m sure there were distractions to help cause those high scoring affairs, on top of USF being a solid team and a rematch against another solid team in Memphis.

Cdog, Id like to think there are athletes on Nebraska’s defensive side of the ball who just need to have a fire lit to make them shine. But agreed, Griffin is a beast. 

@Savage Husker Guy Thomas should be salivating watching this game. 

I love his reaction. Like a commenter said in the tweet, these stories never get old. 

Love it!  Merry Christmas Tanner!

Especially with the winning streak Nebraska was on at the end of the season. Also the number of teams that went down 3-0 or 3-1 to the Husker ladies all season.  The only team to beat Penn St all year then to do it again in the semi's

How hard was it?

@knapplc zing!

Think fear boner

Nice! Yup, that’s me. Roadtripped with the gf, PSU alum, to Chicago for her bday and game. 

Cool! Which endzone are you in?

only stand in one endzone there I forgot it's a glorified high school stadium...

With all the love he had been receiving previously, didn’t think they would upgrade that position. 

At the time Washington signed Brown, Compton was still a RFA who had signed his tender yet.  Washington was most likely covering their bases.  Washington was definitely fortunate and Compton equally unlucky that a LB the caliber of Brown was willing to sign a 1 yr 'prove it' deal.

*hadn't signed his tender

Ahh gotcha. That makes sense. 

f#*k that.

I'll be sad if we end up with Chip Kelly

I'm just looking at it from a comedic stand point. 

Ahhh gotcha. 

@Maverick I vote Tre or Farniok.  Both played well, unfortunately 1 got injured.

Yeah, it was a coin flip between Morgan and Bryant.  Went with Morgan this time.  But you're right that Farniok had a good game as well.

Well that's better than it's been here. You can tell it's smoke....

Where are you at? It's really nice out here today

Sun is shinning bright!

What file are you trying to attach and how big is it? 

Lol ummm a picture a buddy sent me of the wildfires and I have no idea the size nor do I know how to find that. I do everything from my iPhone. 

I have to use Imgur to post pics that I have taken

he looks like the same old potato to me

same old potato.  yes.  same one.  

He looks like a chubby bunny. 

...the stadium & walk in to the viewing area. That's cool. You probably won't get onto the field, but ask at the north door desk if there are any tours going in the AM & maybe you can attach yourself to one.

Peek in their windows

Thank you, Knapp. I don't know if we'll be getting into Lincoln until 10-1030. I was wondering if we'd be able to catch them coming out of practice or something. Again, I appreciate the advice, Knapp.

Muller finally finishes him off. I thought it was going to be Muller with all the chances, only to blow it at the end. He did a great job of holding serve and putting the pressure on Nadal.

What a match. I was actually thinking the same thing. A few of those return vollies by Nadal were amazing, thought that would give him momentum to break Muller in one of those dueces. Muller stayed poised though.

I fully admit (proudly) to being a bleeding heart liberal (east coast). I have many gay friends, and I do call people out when they direct derogatory statements toward others - I've done it here multiple times. I think we'll all have to agree to disagree on the intent and tone of the photo - but I'm sorry you were offended. I'm grateful you seem to be the only one, but if you felt that it was offensive to homosexuals then we should only try to better understand. Admittedly...

I'm struggling to understand if you're offended that this show two straight men as gay? That it shows two leaders as gay? That gay men should be offended at being put in Trump/Putin category? I'm going to show it to some of my gay friends and see their thoughts.

I'm not offended by the photo. I like the Jerry Seinfeld and others like him, Louis C.K., etc., approach to comedy. I can see why the photo is funny based off of the liberal hatred for Trump. What I've witnessed are liberals being offended by people who make jokes at the expense of a gay stereotype or calling someone gay, and having zero tolerance for that humor or crack. To turn around and use a picture like that to ridicule someone is a double standard.
