  2. Bad Husker takes should be illegal.

      But that would shut this place down instantly :dunno

  4. I got rain water pooling in a 3-inch gap between my shed and a garden plot. Any thoughts how to prevent this?

      Thanks_Tom RR

      Lot of great ideas. Thanks.

       

      @JJ Husker think I will try the perforated pipe with pea gravel. Not sure if the water is draining from the garden or accumulating from direct rain fall, but this idea has potential to resolve both issues.

       

      @huKSer no slope in real life just looks that way in the picture. Everything is even and on flat ground.

       

      @teachercd kids are too old for GI Joe. Otherwise, this could be the site of a great battle. :thumbs

      Use some fill dirt and make a mound 3" tall in the middle sloping down to ground level at both ends

      Fill with gravel. If it's overflowing, then put in a French drain first.

  6. The state of Nebraska has two HS prospects in the 2021 recruiting class within the Top 50 Nationally. When has that ever happened?

      1) I'd guess never? 

      2) They're legit prospects. If they weren't, Alabama and Michigan and OSU and LSU (etc.) wouldn't be rolling through the school. 

    3. RedDenver

      RedDenver

      I don't follow recruiting much anymore. Who are the two prospects?

      Avante Dickerson from Westside

      Teddy Prochazka from Elkhorn South

  7. Does Husker Football now hold the current longest spring game sell-out streak in the country, with 2 consecutive years?

  8. I am always asking my beard to help me out with stuff...

      That's amazing. Bottom left looks like a serial killer. Top left is the guy who takes you white water rafting in Colorado.

      Bottom middle looks like Al Bundy. Top left looks like Ted Bundy.

  9. Those Husker jerseys look like UNO throwbacks.

      They do! That's what I thought they were the first time I saw them.

      The logo is a callback to the old University of Nebraska system logo which was used at UNL and UNO.

      @RedDenverThey can't, the transfer portal, if I recall has personal information as in address, DOB transcript info as well.  It's not just a simple sign your name here kind of thing.

    3. Thanks_Tom RR

      Thanks_Tom RR

      It would be possible to have a redacted public (or non-member) version with player name, position, and school.

       

      There is a fansite that already does this for grad transfers.

    4. RedDenver

      RedDenver

      Yes, I meant that the public information like the names of the players would be visible, not all of their personal information.

  11. Huge road win for the Huskers.

     

     

  12. Heard a rumor that Ryan Held put his name in for a HC job at a DII school. Not sure how long ago this was, but it sounds like he was not considered.

    1. HuskerNBigD

      HuskerNBigD

      Believe it was McNeese State. Probably a move suggested by his agent.

    2. B.B. Hemingway

      B.B. Hemingway

      I understand wanting to further your career, but would he really want to get off this train 1 year in?

    3. Thanks_Tom RR

      Thanks_Tom RR

      He was a HC before. Maybe that’s his goal. Although, you could argue that with success at Nebraska, he could position himself for a better HC gig.

  13. Apparently Breon Dixon and Mo Barry had any interesting conversation on Twitter. Someone want to post it here?

      I think we are all hoping that guys will shut up and just go to work. Nothing else.

      IMO, Twitter and social media are nothing more than a huge problem as it relates to players, team chemistry and trying to keep players from transmitting the wrong message. Maybe the general public not seeing these things wouldn't matter or change anything but I'd be real tempted to out and out ban it's use for my players if I was a coach. What good ever comes from it?

    4. 4skers89

      4skers89

      Even if you ban the players, their families can still tweet stupid stuff. It sounds like Noah Fant’s brother was criticizing IA coaching staff recently.

  14.  Can we talk about Ozigbo's 1990's style crop-top jersey for a minute?

      Probably should go with vertical stripes to thin him out a bit 

  15. Does anyone else watch the game by live streaming it on Hulu? I had to go to a work function midway during the 3rd quarter. I get home to find that Hulu did not record the full game.

     

    Is that just me? Now, I have to wait until it is replayed to see the full game of Frost's first win. Lame.

      Looks like Hulu only recorded 2:14:20 worth of the game. That's the first time that's happened, weird. It recorded all of overtime for the Northwestern game...

  16. I listened to the most recent HOL podcast. Nate Clouse said he was not surprised Gebbia left the team.

     

    What a clown!!! Nate 'Clown' Clouse.

      I can't say it wasn't in the back of my head if he didnt get the nod.

    3. desertshox

      desertshox

      i dont think anyone was really surprised he left, it was more when he left. why the hell would anyone stick at a school then transfer a week before the first game? had he left in the spring he probably would have been eligible to play this fall.

    4. Thanks_Tom RR

      Thanks_Tom RR

      You are trying to split hairs, but you are validating my point. No one would have expected Gebbia to leave the way he did. To say otherwise makes me annoyed because reporters, like the coaches and all of us, were completely catch off-guard, but now, some want to pretend to be smart guys and say they could have guessed the situation would play out the way it did.

       

      It just makes them look bad at their job.

  17. 247 has a new "Commitment Watch" feature. Cool stuff, if you got to know about the future plans of 17-18 yr old HS boys in real-time. :)

      FYI last light was at 9:47pm tonight here. There is definitely still light in the sky right now at 10pm. What does last light even mean?

      The Dude- If I dont work on the 5th, who is going to take a nap at my desk? Someone has to do the hard work.

      ZRod- Quit lying to the people of Huskerboard. 

  19. Burroughs and Green are wrestling in the Final X event at the Devaney Center this Saturday.

     

    There are some other notable wrestlers, including the current pound-for-pound best wrestler Kyle Snyder.

     

    https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/6212283-final-x-lincoln-match-order-released

  20. I watched the BTS Super Match between Burroughs and Chamizo. First, Jordan is a beast with that blast double, and he is so persistent and focused on winning. Second, you have to think the event coordinators could have done better with weather planning by having the mat under a canopy. Both wrestlers were sliding all over the place, but that made Jordan's double all the more impressive.

      Only thing better than wrestling is wrestling plus techno.

  21. My anniversary is tomorrow. I got stuff planned, but still looking for something to really make is memorable. Any ideas for the KC area?

      How did it go? Were you able to get in to Lidia’s?

    3. Thanks_Tom RR

      Thanks_Tom RR

      Lidia's wasn't available, but my wife and I definitely need to go in the near future. Since it was rainy that morning, I decided to cook breakfast at home (as I like to cook anyway). After the rain dampened down, we went out that afternoon/evening to celebrate.

    4. ladyhawke

      ladyhawke

      Well, glad to hear you had a nice time. Do give Lidia’s a try. I try to go there when I get to KC. I’m from Missouri. My daughter lives there and knows about all of the nice eating places. Westport has some nice places to eat as well. 

  22. I'm going to get the use of our new 'hot take' emoji rolling with these fiery hot takes:

     

    :HotTake:Rewatching the spring game, I got to say, Jerald Foster's play was very lackluster, and Tyjon Lindsey spins too much.

     

    1. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      That was hot :HotTake: Hadn't seen it presented quite that way before.

    2. RedDenver
  23. I think it would be great to have a 'hot take' emoji. It would do wonders in the recruiting forum. Maybe some combination of the fire emoji and thinking face emoji.

      :HotTake: Fresh hot take, but that's fire! :D Thanks for adding it, Mav.

  24. What is up with the lack of cornerback recruiting? It is arguably the most important position in this cycle for the Huskers.

      Definitely. The east coast states, by enlarge, really fall short in that department.

      My fav place in the LA area was a little hole in the wall place south of LAX in El Segundo.  The place was called La Paz and no one spoke a word of English.  Not even the waitresses.  The menus were in Spanish too.  I used to go there at least once a week.  Best Mexican food I've ever had.  Then it got closed down by an INS raid.  LOL
