A little surprised? Miller was moved to the middle last fall. Every snap he played last season was at ILB. He is a ILB for good.

Yeah, I only know him by story and legend.

Killer Kane Haven't heard that name in a while.

I think there are very few actors/actresses that are always good or always bad. Some are fairly one denominational, John Wayne comes to mind. Keanu Reeves is good in a lot of parts, he is great in John Wick and Neo or as Ted. He is bad as an English guy in Dracula. Jack Nicholson used to be really good, but as he got older he just played a caricature of himself. Tom Cruise can act he just hasn't done anything completely different in a long time. Its all Mission impossible type stuff anymore. Haven't you seen Risky Business, Born on the 4th of July, Magnolia, Rain Man, A Few Good Men he really acts in those shows. I great one by him is Collateral. He plays a hit man going around in a taxi killing people. I never think Ben Afflack is a very good actor, but he is good in some films. Usually when he plays some guy from Southie in Boston like in The Town or Good Will Hunting. He was really good in Hollywoodland playing George Reeves of Superman fame. Dwayne Johnson is actually a better actor than I ever thought he would be. Some goes for Dave Batista.

I used to drive 45 miles 1 way or 90 miles round trip to work. I did this for 15 years. Never minded the drive, because it was highway driving with very little traffic. I was a teacher and the morning drive was good to let me think about the day and the evening drive was good to unwind after the day. The only time I didn't like it was when I got home late from a sporting event. That would happen 4-5 times a year.

Pretty sure the date of the bowl game will be changing. This bowl game is discussed quite a bit on local sports talk radio in Boise. Mostly because of the Mountain West tie in to the game in the past. The game is looking at moving up the pecking order in bowls and eventually ending up on or around New Years.

Boots are often a precaution. He may be able to practice and then put the boot back on after practice.

Went with my son to see Alita Battle Angle. It was his birthday, he likes Japanese Anima and some of his internet geek movie critics ,that he trusts, said it was pretty good. I wasn't expecting much. It was actually a pretty entertaining movie. A good popcorn movie. It reminded me of Ready Player One mixed with a toned down Sin City. Which would make sense as it was directed by Robert Rodriguez.

Pelini didn't value instate talent. He always wanted to evaluate them at camp before he offered. NU lost out on Harrison Phillips because he slow played him. The kid wanted to come to Nebraska but didn't have an offer. Visits Stanford gets an offer and accepts it a few days later, then Nebraska offers. Only offers Ott and Bazata walk on stuff and Iowa offers full rides. He doesn't offer those guys but it reaching for guys like Donovan Vestal and Walker Ashburn. Only offers Noah Fant as a DE. Kid doesn't want to play DE wants to play TE. Riley tried to get back in on him, but it was too late. Going to be a second round draft choice. Doesn't offer but one of the Prater twins, they are a package deal. They go to Iowa. Sean Fisher's little brother goes to Iowa because dad a former husker can't stand Pelini. Callahan was worse, Riley wasn't here long enough to look down on Nebraska talent. Everyone of those guys that went to Iowa played quite a bit. Ott, Fant and one of the Prater twins was all conference.

The whole Mapieu over Williams was completely stupid. It should never have been we are only taking one guy and we want x. Solid 3 star defensive linemen in your own backyard don't just grow on trees. They both should have been offered and if they both excepted the offer should have been taken. Jurgens may never play a down, because he is always injured, you never know. But the guy is a talent and he is only a RS freshman it would be stupid to not have offered him a scholarship. There was a TE that came out of Millard West back when Solich was coach. Guy was actually a high 4 star or 5. Never saw the field because he was always injured don't remember his name.

Wrestle offs yes, cuts no. There were 2-3 weekends a year where we would have teams going in three different directions. Varsity, JV, and Freshman going to different tournaments. Me neither, there is no need for cutting kids off a wrestling team. You wouldn't cut kids off a track team or CC team either.

This kid is a must get. You can't let someone that is this athletic and this close to your state go to a rival school.

Good to know about Lincoln Wrestling. All it takes is a really good coach. GI was never any good at wrestling and then they hired a great coach and 4 years later they were state champs. I know they have dropped off some since, when I left Nebraska they were king of class A. Their HC was the head wrestling coach at Dakota Wesleyan before he came to Grand Island. He ran a program form little kid all the way through HS.

If by try outs do you mean they cut wrestlers from the team? I have never heard of that. We usually had at least 40 guys out for wrestling 9-12. My head coach encouraged any kid that wanted to wrestle to go out for wrestling no matter how good or bad they were. I coached at Norfolk public. We were very average at wrestling but had a lot of kids out. Most Omaha metro schools were probably in the 20-30 range for number of wrestlers participating. Lincoln was not a wrestling town back 10 years ago. It may have changed since then. Lots of Lincoln schools didn't field a full team. Having 20 kids out for wrestling at any of the public schools would have been a good number. When I say most wt classes at state in class A had 3-4 kids in them that really didn't deserve to be there I speak from experience. Norfolk always qualified 8-9 wrestlers for state and 3-4 of them were very average wrestlers sneaking into state in 4th place in a weak weight class. Most wt classes had 2-3 good wrestlers and the rest were very average.

Not necessarily true, I coached class D and A wrestling. Class A probably has more top end wrestlers overall, but they don't usually have the depth of wrestlers. Every year in class A there are probably 3-4 kids in every Wt class that have no business qualifying for state. They are average wrestlers at best. No such thing in the lower classes it is a dog fight in every district just to make it to state.

I have a friend that taught school for a few years and then got into the drug sales. His brother in laws got him on with whoever he was working with first. I was surprised he would be any good at it, because he was a terrible speaker in front of people over the age of 10. Basically back when he got into it about 20+ years ago you needed to look good in a suit, which he did, and have a good drug to sell. I think he still does it. Selling any thing like that is a lot about image. I used to have a trucking rep come and see me. Very attractive late 30's female in a very male dominated world. It may sound sexist, but she got a lot of men to use her trucking company to do their LTL shipping.

What? When I see PJ wearing that cut/style and print of a suit it says something to me. It obviously doesn't say the same thing to you and that is fine. It doesn't scream professionalism and maturity to me. He is trying to make a statement. He is dressing for effect. Sorry it doesn't work for me.

exactly

When I say I watch the PC I mean I will watch pieces of them. I own my own business and will go home for lunch. I will flip on the TV for the half hour that I am home and flip it to the B1G network and they will be showing weekly coaches PC. I am not usually watching all that close. It is just something to watch when I am eating my lunch. I am Husker fan first and for most, but I am a huge college football fan in general. That facts that he wears a suit and tie to PC really isn't an issue for me, lots of coaches have in the past wore suits and most do at least sometimes. It is more the look of the suits that gets me. It is attention grabbing. It is done with a purpose.

I think it does, it shows that he is an uptight anal person who is trying to impress us with they way he dresses. No other coach you see on a regular Monday morning PC is wearing suit.

I watch 3-4 of his Monday PC's this year and he was wearing a suit every time. That PC was from the year before they beat Wisconsin this year. Does it really matter if it is a Suit coat and tie or a form fitting sweater with a tie.

The article describes PJ as a can of Red Bull in maroon. I think that is a great analogy. I mean look at him, this is how he dresses for every PC you see him at. Always dressed in a very dapper suit and tie. He is all about the image he is projecting and his sayings. l like to watch the B1G weekly coaches PC during football season at my lunch break. Pat Fitzgerald's are great, he is funny and entertaining in what he says and I don't think he is trying to be. Harbaugh says as little as possible most the time. Dantonio can be funny or a dick depending on his mood. Frost is pretty even keeled and a little funny. Christ is boring as hell. Then you have PJ who shows up in his suit, he is the only one in a suit, and he talks a mile a minute and basically says nothing. He gives little catch phrases and a lot of double talk bull s#!t. Think Bob Diaco but with the word "elite" mixed in a lot for effect. The article also says he worked for Greg Schiano at Rutgers and that is where Kill thinks he picked up his shtick. I would say that is somewhat accurate. Schiano has a lot of the same traits as PJ he is just not nearly as over the top as he is. Rutgers also has a catch phrase similar to "Row the Boat". It was something like "Pound the Rocks" or "Break the Rocks".

good, I haven't stopped at one in a while. The last movie I got from their was The Wife about 3 weeks ago. Oh, and it was pretty good.

My mother is going to be 89 in May and lives in a place like they were at, so I understand. Most the people that live in assisted living places aren't nearly as spry as Chase and Dreyfus are.

Watch the Last Laugh last night on your recommendation. It was pretty good. I am 53 so I can relate. I thought Andie McDowell was a little young to be playing that part, but I get what they were going for, good looking older hippyish woman. I haven't seen Bohemian Rhapsody yet, I can't get anyone in my family interested in going to see it. I will have to wait until it is at redbox.
