  1. I was expecting news today but google told me tomorrow is first practice following spring break. Arrggghh! At least Riley would be doing something today like having an ice cream social. I’m not sure about this Frost guy now.

  2. 1 Colorado omelette consumed.  Now I wait.

      Was it a little spicy and you are waiting for the "end" results

  3. Buckeyes do things a little different.  Just watched a youtube video with a bunch of reporters interviewing Tate Martell in the locker room.  In the background players were naked as they were changing and at least 1 female reporter was present.

      I'm not aware of any female on site sports reporters for either LJS or OWH. It is common in pro sports though.

      :facepalm: You didn't watch long enough. That wasn't an interview, it was the opening scene for a porno and you apparently stopped watching too soon. :D

      @Comfortably Numb that’s about the only thing that makes sense but isn’t it some kind of NCAA violation to appear in pornos?  Apparently Urb is impressed with Martell so getting him suspended would be excellent.

      @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.

  5. 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.

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

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

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

      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.

  12. 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.

  13. i JUST PUT IN A BID ON A MOTOR GRADER ON RITCHIE BROTHERS AUCTION SITE!   I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS POSSIBLE UNTIL I SAW THE AD.  THANKS HUSKERBOARD!

      THIS WILL LOOK GREAT IN MY DRIVEWAY!

  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.

  15. I was half watching the FSU-VT game but I believe the Hokies just wanted it more than FSU.  Hoping to see the same desire from the Huskers on Saturday.

  16. 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.

      Say what you will, but Incognito was one of the best Husker O-linemen in a loong while.  If could've just kept that temper in check.  (And didn't spit like a camel at D-linemen. lol)

      TonyStalloni

      Bad liver, bad kidneys and a bad temper.  Possibly something at the end of that trail?

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

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

      Someone has to pick up the slack since the wacky WAC went away.

      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.

  18. 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.

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

    2. Nebfanatic

      Nebfanatic

      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.

  19. 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.  

    1. chamrocck

      chamrocck

      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.

    2. The Dude

      The Dude

      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.

  20. Not so fast my friend.

      Lee is a boss and college gameday was an amazing idea.  I remember hating that it was only 30 minutes long.  It is probably overkill now but it is still great.

    3. teachercd

      I think I was working on a class project for Radio 100 (my high school had its own radio station) during the first ever gameday show.

    4. NUance

      NUance

      Yeah, Gameday is great alright.  The live crowd, the signs, Lee putting on the prediction mascot head.  It's a great way to kickoff a college football Saturday. 

  21. 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.

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