      I live near the Aksarben area.  Can confirm the only thing that happened was me consuming delicious Jones Bros cupcakes.

      I’ll admit, I jumped the gun (no pun intended).  Surprised that it was so incorrect but I should have at least waited until I heard more.  I’m glad it was wrong though.

      Hey no worries at all.  It's definitely somewhat plausible given the proximity to UNO.  I'll admit, my jaw hit the floor when I saw your status update!

      I totally agree.  Fit us crucial.

      And timing. Lots of good coaches get fired because they came in at the wrong time and the admin and fans got sick of them. Best be lucky enough to hit it big before the grace period expires.

  3. Anybody else use a Keurig? I like regular brewed coffee's taste better but like the convenience of it. What I dislike most is that it's not tall enough to fit a "to go" mug under it.

      My two options are either be irritated with the Keurig or drink a pot over a couple of days. I'm the only coffee drinker in the house and powering through one pot a day is far too much coffee.

  4. Lol @ Wisky and Texas going from unranked to #10 and #11

      Because you are looking at the coaches poll. The AP has them at 10/11.

      I have no problem with them jumping that much. There is plenty of time to find out if they deserve it.

      I'm thinking like huKSer - i think every good play OU makes, they should do horns up.  Hey, it's not horns down.  And i think it would stink that much more.  HORNS UP Y'ALL!

    3. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      On the boards used to call in plays, there needs to be an image of UT's logo, and then a anatomical diagram of a uterus right next to it...and just the tiniest equals sign so it's not seen at first glance.

      after an announcement like that i think you can be guaranteed that there will be some horns down gestures before the night is through.

      But if you cheat and still lose then you must really suck...

       

      Seriously what else did they do besides stealing signals? (Something everybody does anyway)

      Deflate gate, I forgot that one. But we all know it was just some ball voy swooney of Tommynn and old TB had nothing to do with it.

      I'm a Broncos fan, I don't need any verifiable reason to be hatin' on the Pats.

  7. So Nebraska paid a company in CO $28 million to come up with our new tourism slogan of "Honestly, it's not for everyone"

     

    Edit:  They only paid $450,000 (still too much).  Radio told me fake news

      The scary part is that somebody accepted it and decided to use it as the slogan. Should've refused it and not paid a dime until they came up with something acceptable.

      Wow, I just read Knapp’s status update, and saw his comment on this. So a re-read it. I am getting old,

       

      I thought when I initially read it, it stated  “Honesty” not Honestly.

       

      In other words: Honesty - it's not for everyone

       

      That is why my reply above was made, yikes. I need glasses obviously:wacko:

    4. ladyhawke

      ladyhawke

      Frankly, I think it’s stupid and knowing it came from a Colorado based company you have to ask: Were they high when they came up with that crap?  

  8. So I feel like the general feeling is that the players lost this game, not so much the coaching. I blame both. You don't try to run out the clock when you are down by a td in the first half, with 3:30 left to go and 3 timeouts. I don't understand that logic at all and don't think any other team would do that.

      Landlord is wrong. We were trying to run the clock out. We started with 3:30, gained 10 yards in 2:30 and were running the play clock down before each snap.

      The first 2 or 3 episodes give a good outline on the show, but after that the characters fall more into their permanent groove.  Keep in mind the incredible attention to detail the pour into each scene.

  10. Kraft foods is re-branding Ranch as "Salad frosting".  Un-American, IMO.

      I hear that, @Enhance. I remember eating canned sliced carrots with butter and brown sugar or canned green beans with a Velveeta sauce. I never liked peas because they were always just stuck inside something else. Now I eat just about every damn vegetable I can get my hands on. 

    3. Toe

      Toe

      @Enhance Yep, the ol' boiled can of vegetables. Turns out most vegetables taste better either sauteed a bit or roasted. I'm bad about not eating fresh produce before it goes bad, but lately I've been keeping my freezer more stocked with frozen fruits and veggies.

      Every store-bought ranch I've tried is mediocre at best.  Kraft and Hidden Valley are awful.

      Trademarking "The U" isn't as dumb. They weren't trying to trademark the actual letter U, just the phrase.

    3. HuskerInLostWages

      @Moiraine i was just asking because you'd think "the" would be spoken for in terms of trademark as it's basically the same usage.

      @RedSavage Drop a regular season game then. Also, top G5 team should automatically get in with an 8 team playoff. 

       

      Make this a real NCAA playoff.

      @jaws, agreed.  The remaining 3 are at large bids.  No more UCF situations.

      Colder it is, the better I sleep is part of the problem with turnin it on. I decided to just turn it on to 60 so at least it wouldn't get any colder and suck it up.

      What's the logic behind entering 3 teams and mixing players, other than trying to gain an advantage with multiple teams. Imagine them facing each other, who would play on which team? After watching some of my nephew's youth baseball games, I've seen some coaches/parents blatantly cheat/manipulate rules to gain an edge. Its sad.

      Our defense could compete against most anybody I think, although those top tier teams would give our LB'ers fits with the speed they have.

      How do they decide which semi final sight the two teams go to? Location closest to the higher seeds? If Mississippi State or Florida State were #1 would they go to New Orleans? If Oregon is number one would they play in Scottsdale? Or is it predetermined so Sugar will automatically get 1 vs. 4?
