  1. No bowl game... again.   I'm OK with that.  When the team plays like they have this season, the less they take the field, the better.

      I agree a lot with this.  Time to get some new players either that are on the roster or recruit them.  The fact that we have not recruited an elite pass rusher in like a decade is plain stupid.

      This is an insane take.  45 practices and 3 live games the program is short on the last 3 years.  That's a gigantic disadvantage if the goal is to get better at playing football.

  2. Congrats to the Gophers.  Big win.

  3. Congratulations to these guys who are getting close to a viable ocean plastic cleanup system and already deployed a few systems to capture plastics at river source.

      Some cultures just haven't developed a "don't s#!t where you sleep" mentality...

      Maybe they thought the plastic was washing out to sea.  What the OceanCleanup guys found was the mass of the plastic accumulated in the gyre didn't have near the amount of plastic known to be discharged into the ocean.  Based on the dates of some plastics found in the gyre they didn't think the plastics were being broken down into microplastics and forming a smog that was theorized.  They believe that after a few years it washes ashore and a small fraction escapes into the ocean currents and into the gyre.  They may not be s#itting where they sleep but where their neighbor sleeps.  I know in the PI people are getting a lot more conscious of plastic pollution.  My wife and I sponsored a local beach cleanup which they had been conducting for a few years and they are making a huge effort to clean up Manila Bay.

      @4skers89 The problem is, once the trash is ground up and pelletized, there aren't a lot of products that use them.  Every time you recycle a plastic, it loses it's physical properties.  So, virgin material is cheaper AND it makes a better product.  

       

      If I bought a load of recycled product, I have absolutely no clue what kind of quality I'm getting.  If I get virgin material, I know the exact cell classification, how it's going to process and the quality of the product that's going to come out the other end.  The types of plastics are an issue too.  Every type of plastic has certain properties that make it for a specific use.  You can't make a sewer pipe out of pop bottles.  You also can't make food or medical grade products out of the trash.

  4. Kind of a crazy UCLA-WSU game going on.

      Down 32 and come back to win 67-63. Crazy.

      how do you blow a 32-point lead... to UCLA, no less? Their offense hadn't scored more than 14 points in a game all season. Props to the Bruins for never giving up.

      Agree with his minor league comment. All for paying athletes, but college football/sports as we know them will cease to exist.

      The thing is the bill isn't designed to make schools pay athletes. It allows athletes to make money off of their image in a similar way to olympic athletes. I think this bill is long overdue.

  5. Sorry Mack, no extra second this time :lol:

  6. I can get a top engineering masters degree in 1 year at UW-Madison! Thanks HB!

      I should.  I only have a master's degree in engineering that took me 4 years.  In only 1 year I could have a TOP master's degree.

  7. Someone needs a timeout.  Do not mess with the prayer thread.

  8. DO NOT LET @The Dude CONVINCE YOU THAT EATING AN IHOP COLORADO OMELETTE PRIOR TO THE GAME HAS SOME MAGICAL POWERS.  IT DOES NOT!

      Had one last time I was in there.  It was not great.

  10. Whatever happened to Bret Bielema?

      If college and pro football coaches are willing to live a nomadic life, they will always have a job, and most of them are very well paid.

  11. What ads are you seeing?  I keep getting an ad for a WWIII simulator and an ad remover.

      I used to regularly check out Huskerpedia but to my recollection I never posted there. I did not follow to Huskermax.

      I was on Huskerpedia after it was free to post. I signed up here in 2008 but it took some time before I regularly started posting.

      I've lurked over there, seems like some decent folk with some dick heads mixed in.News wise they are usually behind what you learn here first and the recruiting section is a mess.

       

  14. I thought this electric car looked interesting. Single seat, three wheel, 100 mile range, 85 mph, $15k. Not sure how it would do in snow being rear (single) wheel drive but it’s made by Canadian company.

      With fed rebate of $7500, investment would be $7500. Current gas bill would mean payback in 6 years.

      @man eating mastodonI saw on the news with windchill that part of MN will be like -52, Vegas is literally going to be over 100 degree's warmer than MN today.

      Today I learned there's a town in Minnesota named Wyoming.

    3. 4skers89

      Forecast is now high/low of -16/-27... 20 year lows

    4. Xmas32

      I saw those temps for Minnesota and my brain locked up...I literally can't fathom how cold that is.  It's like last January in Nebraska except worse and that was the coldest I could ever remember it being.

  16. What’s everyone talking about?

  17. Out of curiousity I counted 3 NE boys on NDSU's roster which includes their starting QB Easton Stick and 16 on SDSU's roster. I didn't know there was a Saint Helena, NE.

      Stick was offered to walk-on by Pelini.  He was a marginal big conference talent, but has turned into quite a QB.  He will get a look at the NFL.

      You almost have to know where St. Helena is to be able to actually find it.

      I grew up on a farm straight across the river from St Helena and have driven by the sign a thousand times on 81 and I'm still not convinced the town exists.

  18. I was trying to figure out how they kept the yard lines, hash marks and yard line numbers clear of snow in Washington game.  I thought they had heaters buried in the field until I figured out Fox was doing it.

  19. Les Miles at Kansas would be interesting. Need to get the Mad Hatter back on the field.

    1. Toe

      If he's serious about coaching again, I'm sure he could do better than KU.

    2. Scarlet Overkill

      Scarlet Overkill

      Yeah, I'm with Toe on this one.  He needs to shoot a little higher if he's getting back into it, but he shouldn't wait too much longer.  

  20. You don't really notice Northwestern when they play but they don't make a lot of mistakes and make just enough plays.  By the end of the game you realize they can win it.  They're a real sidler!

      One of these days the odds will catch up to them and they'll start losing all of these close games. They're the anti-Nebraska right now, winning yet being out gained.

      They are kind of becoming annoying.

      I had sympathy for them until the Vedral issue came out.

      I was over them the moment the clock hit zero against Auburn. Schedule and beat top P5 teams and people will care about them. Or, they should work towards aligning themselves in a P5. It's the system and world we live in.

  21. To heck with the alternative uniforms.  When I check in on the 'Clones I want to see ummmh... cardinal and gold uniforms... never mind, you know what they're supposed to look like.

  22. Heupel is a loser.  UCF will lose.
