Thanks_Tom RR

Pepsi for sure.

Coke most of the time and especially with rum. Pepsi once in awhile.

@BIG ERN I cannot stand MacDonald's coke. Really. That stuff is awful. Too much syrup, not enough carbonation. It's always flat and too sweet. I like to imagine that the genius that came up with "new coke" had something to do with Mickey D's and they forever got stuck with the bad stuff.

Coke...not even close

The top several Nebraska hs players should *always* get offers.  For too long now we've been slow playing some of the top Nebraska recruits in the hope of getting them to walk-on.  This tactic has bitten us in the ass several times in recent years, causing us to lose top notch recruits from Nebraska because some other team offered them first and got them to commit.  /gets off soapbox.  

I'm not saying there haven't been mistakes (probably a lot, and the thing with Bryson Williams still ticks me off), but you have to draw the line somewhere every year. Some years that line might be 2 players. Other years it might be 6.

I do think if you have a player of equal talent in Nebraska and equal talent anywhere else, you always go for the one in Nebraska. Maybe even if it's lesser talent, because their motivation to help the team will likely be higher, and the chance they transfer lower.

Don't the top players in Nebraska also all have offers from Purdue already too?

And considering a couple of those top players are transplants, I don't think we'll bat 1.000, but we should do better than .500. 

The wizard of your adolescence, young adulthood, or middling adulthood...whatever age you were 7-17 years ago.

Yeah, never really got into that. Saw one movie and read about 5 pages. LOTR was my jam.

This is a Hobbit reference, but I'm thinking it works here.

Battlestar Galactica, Edward James Olmos was the actor. Can’t think of the character name.

Close enough

I would like to see us add a DT, but I still think this is a really good class.

And not only the talent is there but the teachers are in place as well. I feel great. 

I heard that we still need corner backs?

Who's this "Riley" character you speak of?  Never heard of her.

One guy knows he can make an impact first season and be a serious contender within 2. Other guy....pacing it to hopefully hit .500 by year 5.

Um...didn't Riley start Spring ball with something like 79 kids on the roster last year? That's like putting oneself on probation voluntarily if so.  

I don't think Riley and his staff exactly had the whole recruiting thing on lockdown like people thought. 

Mav has this all put together

Good stuff. @Red Five

^ That's racist

^ okay, black magic then.  damnit!

I don't always agree with Josh Peterson (the 1620 host) but he had a pretty spot on tweet last night - he said he believes it *is* possible to say Nebraska fought hard, got the W and yet recognize that this thing isn't going in the right direction. I didn't watch Riley's pressure but I also think he's just saying things he has to at this point. He's not going to throw himself under the bus.

presser*

He doesn't know what else to say at this point.

I got some new shoes from a drug dealer. I don't know what they are laced with, but I have been tripping all day.

Knock knock....

Who's there?

Good point. They really aren't commits till they sign the LOI.

Or maybe instead of committing, we could just have hs players "like" us on FB. lol

I might pre-order the Chronos 1.4, but I am still undecided.

Anything that nice is going to cost you bank. The Sony FS700 will probably be the most budget friendly.

Thanks, LOMS. I priced the Chronos between $3500-4000, which is about the same price for the Sony FS700. The FS700 looks like the frame rate max is 60 fps at 1080p. That will not work.

Any other recommendations?

....and my favorite grilled veggie, red bell pepper. But I prefer green bells if going with pineapple.

Gotta have red onions and bell peppers.

Do we have to have words ZRod?

The correct response is Walla Walla or Vidalia sweet onions.

Thanks for all of the ideas. I will have to start plotting a course for removal/extermination.

I, too, have moles. The ironic thing is that I teach chemistry.

What's the molarity of your lawn?

I'm still pissed that both parties nominated the worst possible candidates.

Mlb nailed it.was this really the best they could come up with?

It was "Hillary's turn," and the Democrats weren't going to let anyone else have a shot. That's entirely on the Democrat party.

Bookie & Cam

Maybe we could do Elf on the shelf at the same time.

You wish.

Aww is it saved anywhere for my viewing pleasure?

They have ability to clinch the B10 Championship with a win tomorrow. Thanks, Boilermakers.

I was under impression if we win and Minny wins, Minny wins regular season. Am i mistaken??

Minnesota is done playing. They have 15 wins, as does NU. If NU wins, they finish ahead of Minnesota. Michigan can win B1G if they beat MSU, and NU loses today.

Chinese women are delicious too!

My cat is missing!!!

Agree with Decked - sushi is one of my absolute favorite foods, but I've also grown to love Thai recently. Salween Thai in Omaha is intensely good.

^^^

Oregon. That will tell us a lot about our season. If we lose then they beat us with a new head coach after losing to us last year. This year we have Riley's guys

What Q said^^^

Have to beat Wiscy, but if we lose to Iowa again, Katy bar the door.

OL alone: Brokop, Gaylord, or Barnett.

Are you ready to cut a RFr and two So at OL? What does that say about OL recruiting assessment or development?

To get better players? Of course. Not everyone works out for whatever reason.

Agreed, Huskerzoo. As a new assistant professor, you got to like hearing they put a cap on the number of R01 grants and grant dollars per PI. This breaks some of that "fat cat" mentality and spreads the funding around, hopefully benefiting new and med-level faculty researchers.

That would be the hope. they already had stuff to promote junior faculty. Unfortunately granting works a little bit like ponzy schemes. You need to have gotten grants as a grad student to get them as a post doc to get r21s to get r01s. There's still a weird system.

Grant funding begets grant funding as a student or as a faculty member, but during the transition, it is more about your productivity (number of high tier publications) and how cutting edge and innovative your research is. Not to mention the prestige of your institute. If you notice, not much of that speaks to the merit of your research, so you are right to the extent that it is a weird system.
