  1. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Major Applewhite pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
  2. ok 2 things! What the hell is the first post about in relation to the thread title. And B, why the shoulder? Why the shoulder? Because if I stabbed you in the eye, you wouldn't be able to find any cookies for me.
  3. I know lots of people may think that Chips Ahoy is a hum-drum generic cookie, but I did some investigative work several years back at the factory where they make the cookies, and when they are warm and fresh off the production line, they are A-f*cking-MAZING. I would probably stab you in the shoulder for a couple of them right now. I can only imagine how good the Chewy ones would be hot and fresh. Seeing this old thread for the first time brightened my day, by the way.
  4. I was in college when DeAngelo left the program and said some disparaging things about Solich and complained about playing time. The season that he finally left, I purchased a #4 jersey on discount and wore it for Halloween, along with an adult sized diaper and tear drops painted on my cheeks. That jersey is still in my rotation for gameday wear, though. He did have an amazing freshman year.
  5. One of my favorite lines from "A Few Good Men" is when the judge rebukes Jach Nicholson with: "The witness will address this court as Judge or Your Honor. I'm quite certain I've earned it." I love that movie. A lot of judges can get persnickety about how they are addressed, and every single one of them will demand respect and order in the courtroom. One's attitude and demeanor can go a long way toward making things harder for you or easier for you in the courtroom (and attire can certainly influence how you are perceived as well). And judges and county attorneys tend to remember someone who is making a repeat appearance in their courtroom, especially if you look or sound less than respectful. Most judges are grounded enough in reality that they don't need to be treated like royalty, and most have a good sense of humor, but decorum in the courtroom is a must. I think a lot of judges will look at it from the perspective that if you can't set aside your ego and attitude for a quick hearing in front of a judge, you probably aren't going to do too well outside of the courtroom either. I work with a lot of juveniles, and stubborn douichebaggery in the courtroom only makes their lives more miserable! In your case, Dude, "sir" was probably good enough, although it probably wouldn't have done well to tell him why you refused to address him differently. Your attire probably didn't matter if it was a quick hearing in a county court that they were trying to process quickly. Most judges will be pretty understanding that a lot of people won't have fancy clothes for a quick appearance in court and that most won't be remarkably well versed in courtroom etiquette, but they would not tolerate tomfoolery, either.
  6. My favorite moment was getting excited texts from friends about the 2011 Ohio State game, after I had already turned it off and given up completely on the Pelini era. I turned it back on and realized that the sky had not fallen.
  7. Wired has exposed the Empire's military incompetence in their analysis of the battle of Hoth: http://www.wired.com...battle-of-hoth/ The entire Star Wars universe is crumbling around us!
  8. If I read nothing other than this thread, I get the impression that this "rumor" is only based on a single tweet in the OP that perhaps could have been a typo. Are there other sources for all of these rumors, or is this just bluster to pass the time during the offseason?
  9. He's going the Sarah Palin route. Resign and then take a job with Fox News. Also has his own reality show in the works. Mo' money.
  10. As confused as this young man seems to be, he didn't necessarily have to sign with anyone today. But I suppose making decisions seems to be a difficult task for him, so it's probably better that it's over, and I'm glad the spinning wheel finally stopped at Nebraska. I hope he makes a big impact and enjoys his experience in Lincoln!
  11. I've watched that game three times and for some reason didn't remember that was the case, thanks! I guess Fisher doesn't make the list after all.
  12. The first rule about going undercover is to never talk about going undercover.
  13. I watched a highlight video some time ago of the 2011 Ohio State game. It wasn't jsut the strip from Braxton Miller - Lavonte David was in on just about every damn play. I agree that that strip (and probably Sean Fisher's twisting of the ankle) was a career saver for Pelini. I had the same thoughts as the posts above when watching that game... David was amazing. In 2010 against K-State, T-Mart had all the highlight reels, but holy crap David made eleventy hundred tackles in that game. K-State's running back Daniel Thomas came in with a bunch of hype for that game, but he may have well been wearing a Lavonte David dress that night, cuz LD was draped all over him.
  14. I always hear the old-timers saying Jerry Murtaugh was the best. I never saw him play, but when he's on the radio he sounds like John Wayne, so that's gotta count for something. I do remember McFarlin, Foreman, and Shanle being solid players, but I never recall thinking that they were necessarily that great. Shanle has had a better NFL career than I remember him having in college. I'm surprised that OP's list doesn't include more impressive names, but it seems like Nebraska has often had LBs who had flashes of brilliance from time to time but didn't really put together stellar careers. Imagine if Will Compton had played his whole career like he did this past season. Imagine if Corey McKeon had not peaked as a sophomore and become the poster boy of the Cosgrove era.
  15. Terrell Farley, even though he shone for only one year? Even though the '95 defense was full of stars, Farley was a standout and always seemed to fly to the ball and be a disruptive force. Lavonte David reminded me a lot of TF, in fact.
  16. Maybe its the Mike's Hard Fruit Punch, but I have a hard time believing that only 36.1% of the players we sign in the 2013 class will be on the team in 2014. That number seems awfully inflated. Is Buffalo or Idaho or similar program losing their whole recruiting classes on a yearly basis? I'm no recruitnik, so only wondering/guessing, but could that low percentage at least partially be a result of teams (particularly in the SEC) oversigning so much? When you oversign, you can't possibly keep everyone on the roster.
  17. Don't forget Gomes and Hagg. I don't recall a more exciting/potent defensive backfield than when we say Amukamara, Dennard, Hagg, and Gomes back there at the same time. It's hard to rank them in comparison to having Mike and Ralph Brown together for four years, or to the 1995 unit (the DL got way more well-deserved pub, but the DBs showed against Florida that they had it goin' on), but the 2009 DBs were so much fun to watch and inspired a lot of confidence (in combination with Suh up front) when we knew the offense wasn't going to get it done.
  18. +1 I remember when the game was announced, couldn't believe it myself when I saw that Miami for once is getting off their lazy butts to come up here and play us. Really was unfair back in the day that we had to play them so much on their home turf with such huge stakes on the line. I only hope our fans treat them well.. When I went to the Rose Bowl to watchus lose to that 2001 Miami team, I was dreading running into Miami fans and having to hear them talk a buynch of shite. However, every one of the Miami fans I ran into in the 3 or 4 days leading up to the game were very polite and classy. I was pleasantly surprised. Apparently the fans who actually travel are much different than the personas of the players on the field. I would hope and expect that the Miami fans who come to Lincoln for the game in a couple years will be classy and knowledgable, and that it will be a good experience for Husker fans and Cane fans alike.
  19. I'd actually have to agree with you. Yeah, they took a nice shortcut with the whole "now the whole timeline has changed" bit but other than that I thought it was a pretty good effort. I've accepted that I am in the minority for hating that movie. I actually thought the skewed timeline angle was a pretty clever way to reboot it, but I hated almost everything else. But I feel so alone.
  20. Without answering all of the questions, I consider myself a realist - I'm happy winning 10 games and contending for conference championships, even if we never become National Champions again - as long as the program stays clean and I'm entertained. I like Bo. I don't really think he's a great head coach, but he's pretty good. My biggest concern has been lack of discipline. He seems to have become more personally disciplined on the sidelines, now it just needs to be instilled in the team on the field. I like Martinez...now. I was not a fan of him his first couple years, but he has really grown as a player and a leader. Overall, he is good for the Huskers and I can see him having a dazzling season as a senior. Not one of the top-5 all time, however. I really like Beck's offense but harbor no ill-will toward Watson. Watson is good at what he knows, but he was not good at what Bo wanted. I'm glad Watson is successful in his new gig, he probably should not have been kept at Nebraska as long as he was. I don't have favorite (or least) favorite media personalities. Dirk is usually a tool, but I actually like his perspective in many of his articles (maybe that makes me a tool too?). McKewon is a very talented writer whom I enjoy reading, but sometimes he tries too hard. I hated Jim Rose as a play-by-play guy on the radio.
  21. I always liked Terrance Nunn - his reputation took a dive after the Texas fumble, but he had overall one of the best careers of any receiver at NU. Didn't he start as a freshman? He had a great game in the Alamo Bowl to help beat Michigan and was solid throughout his career. He faded some during his senior year but overall (except for that one fumble) was a bright spot during a dark time. I wouldn't necessarily put him near the top of the list, and I even think all of our current starters are better than Nunn, but I was always a big fan. Nunn was overshadowed in his last year or two by Mo Purify, who I think was one of the most talented receivers we ever had. It's too bad Purify only really had a year and a half to play, and he was under-utilized. He seemed to be able to make insane grabs when the ball was not on target. In the 2007 Kansas game, which was a horrible debacle, one of the few bright spots was Purify having a really good game against Aqib Taalib, who was regarded as one of the best CBs in college football that year. Kenny Bell has that same kind of ability as Purify to find the ball, with more speed, and four years to showcase it, which is really exciting. Also, I lol'd at seeing Frantz Hardy's name anywhere close to a best-of list. Niles Paul had some good talent and flashes of brilliance, but way too many drops and mistakes (I think Paul's drops made us forget how many Hardy had). Paul had some clutch plays that won us a couple games, but some really bad performances that lost us a few. Never lived up to the hype.
  22. J.J. Abrams is going to direct it. http://movies.msn.com/movies/article.aspx?news=787250&affid=100055 Kind of weird that the same guy doing Star Trek isnow going to do Star Wars. I think a lot of people like Abrams and the stuff that he's done, so maybe people will be happy with this, but it does nothing for me. I've never been impressed with Abrams, and I thought the Star Trek movie he made a couple years ago was really frickin terrible. I mean gawd-awful. But I haven't found many people who agree with me on that, people seemed to love that movie for some reason.
  23. If that was no-holds-barred wrestling, that's still legal.
