      There's a movement in Texas to secede. Jist for perspective.

      I wish Russia would secede from the US and stay out of our elections.

      There's a movement in the Nebraska panhandle to secede. We're talking about this?

  2. For those who have been to both, which venue is a better atmosphere for NU Wrestling, the NU Coliseum or the Devaney Center? I have only been to the Coliseum.

      Haven't been to either unfortunately. But I have tried many different kinds of whiskey.

      I think this Husker wrestling team will be something special. The roster is chock-full of highly ranked seniors. You should definitely catch a match.

  3. For those who saw the recent status update from MC (which I deleted), its contents was inappropriate. Religious intolerance and threats violate board rules.

      How many would we have if Ohio State didn't win the NC last season and Jim Harbaugh wasn't at Michigan?

      Frank Solich is an old man, you guys.

      Frank Solich is ten feet tall and showers in vodka.

      Frank Solich is a former Nebraska fullback. So it's basically the same thing Polo.

  6. Full Northwestern game is in the Husker Video forum. 4-0!!!

  7. Gloom and doom for a second, this year is nothing but close loses on the field and in recruiting. :-/

      It's easy to slip into the pit of negativity. Welcome back. I was worried about you, for a second.

      Just think where we'd be if we had won, say, three of those close games. That easily could have happened.

      Yeah, if we could have just pulled out the byu, purdue and Illinois games we would be a mediocre team. We can always hope for next year.

  8. Good win by Houston over Navy. Tom Herman with a division championship in his first year as a HC.

      Very impressive. He's a good coach who walked into a relatively good situation comparatively

    2. Scratchtown

      Scratchtown

      Would be undefeated and likely in the top 10 if his QB played last week vs UCONN.

  9. Got my tickets for the Nebraska v Rutgers game. Go Big Red!

  10. Got my tix for Nebraska at Maryland tonight. Looking forward to a dominant wrestling performance by the Skers.

  11. Grats to Husker Wrestling. Great individual performances at Midlands.

  12. Great weather on a Saturday. I'm going to take the kids for a hike and have a fish fry after. Plans?

      GF and I just got outside for a walk yesterday for the first time in a long while. I really need to get a bike. Interested in getting outdoors more once it gets nicer.

      fished from 7 till noon and am now eating some perch fillets and potato salad while cruising husker board.

      ....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.

  14. Here are two questions about Nebrasketball. What factor(s) went into the decision to retain Miles? Answer this first, then read my next question in the comments.

      So, cut the fat like UNO did with football and wrestling? Well, those are terrible examples as both were champion caliber programs.

       

      I guess the real problem is how much fan support and ink the basketball program gets. Maybe we should forget about basketball, and talk more about wrestling. I do that now anyway, just need some other fans from Husker Nation to get on board.

      Oh, I don't mean cut the fat. The analogy is more of like...I think it's cute when Oregon State fans talk about their program "stagnating" under Riley, for example. You're Oregon State, chaps. Be happy to make a darn bowl. Don't fire Gary Anderson if he doesn't consistently make the Top 25 in his first five or six seasons, etc.

       

      Or the USMNT. Great, we fired Klinsmann and took it out on Honduras. But you know what, it's still going to be US soccer unt...

      ...il something fundamentally changes and that takes time. So be thankful when you have a coach with the right demeanor and vision. Maybe give him more time at the helm. Like Iowa and the unfireable Kirk Ferentz.

      Nebraska has owned Michigan St Athletics.

  17. Husker wrestling knocking off #21 Wisconsin. #Fight'nMannings

  18. Huskers have the most impressive recruiting class in the top 10 (weo ND) with so many out-of-state commits. Hardest working coaching staff! GBR!!!!

      Thanks_Tom RR

      Best part, we get high profile out-of-state commits on schollies, plus much of NE talent through our walk-on program. BOOM!

      Thats funny, it says we have the 10th most impressive recruiting class (sarcasm)....

      At least we can come back with "Oh yea, our women can beat your women!" after getting kicked around on the gridiron.

  20. I just realized Bo finally broke the #4Loss streak this year (tongue firmly in cheek).

      welcome to yesterday's news.

  21. I started a Pokemon Go thread in the Games forum for anyone who is interested.

  22. I think it is high time that someone takes their civic duties seriously and posts the Nebraska spring game on Youtube. The nation demands it.
