That's fair, I guess my bar is just so low for Russ that any "improvement" is good. Payton gave VJ his support today; why? Dude has to go. 

The crazy thing is, Russ isn't the problem. He's actually playing pretty well. But the defense is absolutely atrocious. VJ should not have been hired in the first place and needs to go, immediately.

I slept through like 90 minutes of the first one, and didn’t feel like I missed a thing.  Never bothered to rewatch or move on to the next.

 

My hot take:  LOTR might be one of the most boring epics ever made on screen.

I'm with you. I just don't get the love of those films. I found them to be incredibly boring, and I've taken a lot of heat for that.

Interesting, I had always felt that there were a few "rock" bands that no one "hated", not saying you hate them but you get the idea...I don't mean they were loved by all, I just mean that they were not hated.

 

Guns N Roses

Def Leppard

KISS

AC/DC

Rolling Stones

Whenever the conversation comes up in our group of bands that people seem to really like but that you hate, my answer is always Def Leppard. Man, I can't stand that band or their music. Well, and Nickelback of course, but that's too easy. 

I have been critical of him, but this was well said by Deion. The fact that some jackholes posted his and his family's information online, and they have been receiving death threats is absolutely ridiculous. Hopefully this helps squash some of this. 

@Guy Chamberlin Okay, I just checked, and if you just enter Nick Chubb in the search box on X, it will come right up. I didn't want to put it in here because some folks may not like to see that kind of thing. It's not overly graphic, but legs are not meant to go that way.

My son came home, we were discussing it, and he had it up on his phone within seconds. Social media is a powerful thing, but I wasn't about to look for it. I believe that he found it on Twitter/X.

That's really cool! I mean, it's not Sandman or Jump Around, but I appreciate that they are trying to do something to get the crowd amped up. 

We are particularly sensitive to knee injuries in our house after my son's injury a few months ago, but that Nick Chubb injury last night was brutal. Knees aren't meant to do that, ugh.

What is the over/under for how long he is at sCUm?

 

1.5 years?

Well, two games in, and Paul Finebaum is already suggesting that he goes to Florida. 

I can't wait for Shadeur to talk about how this is personal, because the coach disrespected his dad.

Suddenly all those people who called me an idiot for drafting Trey on my fantasy teams have seen how wise I truly am. Granted, I'm not starting him yet, but he's got potential to have a very nice season. 

Wow, this thread is exhausting. I do appreciate the commitment to making the same point, over and over and over again though. Gotta respect the dedication!

Just for clarification though, is Nike better than Adidas?

Okay, I'll bite since the ban hammer will probably be arriving soon...

Ugh, never mind, not even worth the time.

Last night was wonderful to see. I fully expect to see the Chefs in the upper tier of the league again this year, but an opening night loss at home (with a ton of Lions fans in attendance) was outstanding.

Not so great? My decision to pick up and start Toney last night based on everything that I read saying he'd go off with Kelce out. Oof. 

First off, I need to publicly apologize to Orlando Franklin. I called him out for predicting a sCUm victory, and he was right. I for one can't wait for this game to be over (obviously hopefully with a Husker win, but I have my doubts). Local sports media has been insufferable this week, and if the Buffs win on Saturday, I'll need to wait at least another week before tuning back in. Got to hand it to them though, Denver has always been a Broncos town, but all of the talk is about Deion and his brilliance now.

Speaking of the Broncos, it's rivalry week for them too with the Raiders coming to town, and what does Payton do? When asked about the rivalry, he pulls a Hackett and doesn't address it. He says that rivalries are for college football. Why in the hell can't the coach just say "Yes, it's a big week against one of our rivals, and we can't wait to play them." Doesn't seem that hard!

One thing that I wish would have changed but clearly has not is the number of new dipsh!t posters who create accounts during/after games to drop a couple of "hot" takes and get banned. It's exhausting.

The positives: 
The D played hard, and I was really impressed with a lot of the tackling

Special teams were good, except when big old number 0 let the Minny guy blow up our punter (why is he one of the protectors? I don't understand that one)

I found it oddly comforting to see Rhule on the sidelines; I know there were issues, but it finally feels like we have someone competent running the show

The main negatives:

Our QB1 is a pretty good RB, but dude is a turnover machine

Play calling, ugh

It is very difficult to win a game with four turnovers, especially a pick in the endzone, and we also dropped a pick in the endzone that immediately led to a TD afterwards

My main takeaways:

I didn't expect to win this game, but it sucks to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

Very concerned about QB play

Minny is not good, and I am concerned about the sCUm game next week; they have athletes that will give us fits

Ugh, poor kid, that really sucks. My son is currently rehabbing his own ACL and Meniscus tear. It's a bummer, but he'll bounce back. 

Interesting article here; I really hope Coach Prime falls flat on his face. What a douche nozzle. 

Minnesota 27

Huskers 17

Rushing: 170

Passing: 140

Well, guess that clears up the eligibility issue. What a dumba$$.

Maybe that was misinterpreted from yalls point of view, but you up your level to defcon 6 and include 5 pictures of 5 teams wearing B1G patches.  A slam dunk and "haha In your face!".  It wasn't needed at that point.

 

Just giving a quick jab because I like you @admo, but one thing that I have learned from the Big Bang Theory is that the higher the Defcon level, the lower the risk. So, Defcon 6 would just be a lovely walk in the park, smelling the wildflowers kind of situation.
