      He slides into second, no wait, he’s now in the dugout...

      This is why it's ridiculous for the NCAA to start the baseball season anywhere before Spring Break. 

       

      Problem is, the warm-weather schools don't want to cede their advantage to the north, and considering that most of the warm weather schools reside in the old South, the idea of fair play and doing something for the betterment of the sport as a whole is anathema to them.

  2. Does anyone know or understand how the Thursday Night game is picked? I know CBS gets the AFC, FOX he NFC and Sunday night football goes to NBC (who I thought got first pick) but where does MNF and especially Thursday Night Football fall in this pecking order? I ask because tonight's game seems uncharacteristically interesting.

      They bid before the season? Is flex scheduling only for the sunday night game? 

    3. Mavric

      As far as which network gets which games, yes, the bidding is done years in advance.

       

      The schedule is set months before the season starts so the Monday Night and Thursday Night games are set then.  The Sunday Night games are also set at that time but the do get some flex options later in the season (but only from Sunday afternoon to Sunday night).

      Regarding the individual matchups on each night, with FOX throwing more money to the NFL for the Thursday night package (starting this year), the NFL rewarded them with more appealing matchups.  Sunday night football tries to get the best match-up each week on NBC, but CBS and Fox can try to protect certain games for their afternoon blocks.  Monday Night Football on ESPN has pretty much turned into an afterthought in terms of the quality of game.  

  3. Came here to make my status something about Texas losing....looks like I wasn't a very original thinker...

  4. Sad time of the year, finally had to take Mickey's Christmas hat off. 

  5. $5 says I'll have to listen to at least some of the basketball game on the radio like it's 1992 because the other game (whatever it is) will go long. #IHatePlayingSecond I hate BigTenPlus

      48.3 game seconds, 7 real life minutes to tip off....gonna be close...

      It does happen quite often.  GBR!

  6. Officially Christmas, Mickey has his hat on. 

  7. Thing I wish I would remember roughly this time next year. Don't buy Halloween mixed bags that have "Whoopers" in them. That's all we have left, apparently everyone hates them.

      I'm with you C N Red! Whoppers are the best.  They remind me of real chocolate malts.

      You let the kids pick? Rookie mistake. Kids are candy experts, of course they go for the good stuff first.

      I can offload them for ya if you're interested. Don't care for them myself, but my father-in-law loves the hell out of them. 

  8. if you're doing fantasy football and use chrome you can join now, might want to try now, I had to change some setting and stuff.

      HuskermanMike

  9. preping for the HB fantasy football draft, which is stupid because I'll suck no matter what. 

    1. B.B. Hemingway

      B.B. Hemingway

      Yes you will. 

       

      And I'm not prepping, because I'll be awesome no matter what.

    2. wiuhusker

      Assuming we find out the draft order an hour before?

      Looks like the order is the same as who joined at what time, I was 5th to join so I am 5th pick

  10. I just had notifications for the first time and it didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would.

      I got quoted a couple times in the Big Ten Bus visit thread.

      How about "'eavers"?

      RunMickeyRun02

      Nope on the "eavers" but signing day isn't until February.

  12. My back hurts again and I only made it to 8:58 AM before hearing about the KC game. Was hoping to finish it tonight.

      @Mickey: When your back finally feels better, start doing a few burpies each morning. Really loosens it up for the day. Works for me anyway.

      Careful NUance. That actually might make his issue worse depending on what it is. Though, hopefully not. That's a pretty good rule for most folks-- the more active you can be with back stuff, the better!

       

      Look into PT Mickey! Hopefully someone can figure out something that works for you.

    4. RunMickeyRun02

      RunMickeyRun02

      Yeah, it's my fault, I'll admit that. I end up here almost out of muscle reflex it's pretty sad. I get up really early for work so I was falling asleep watching the game last night. Thanks for the back suggestions guys.

  13. My back hurts. Not bad,....just felt like sharing.

      Sleep too close to the crack last night?

      Best thing for when you throw out your back: prescription pain killers and bourbon. Until you pass out. But not if you're driving. Then only the bourbon. lol

  15. Fun Fact: Texas lost to Kansas (2-9) this weekend and is now 5-6

    1. NUance

      I wonder if they will abandon their trademark application for "stronghorns." Seriously, they have a trademark application for that. lol

      That is a fun fact!

      Loss to TCU = no bowl game.... go Horny Frogs!

  16. Fun fact: There is a 100% chance either the Iowa State or Kansas football teams will win a game today.

      What if they tie?

    3. RunMickeyRun02

      RunMickeyRun02

      Normally I would say college games can't end in a tie but if anyone can figure out how it would be these two.

    4. NUance

      I predict Iowa State wins, but then has to forfeit the game due to ncaa violations. It seems a likely outcome.

      I have the best profile on HB. Oh sure, Knapp *thinks* his is the best. But it's not.

      Yours used to be better. I had to block that image of the morphing hands, tho. That was creepy.

    4. NUance

      It amazes me that people can post 5,000+ times on HB and not spend 10 minutes fixing up their profile. But maybe that's just me. lol

  18. Listening to Husker BBall w/MSU/OSU on mute.

  19. My right eye is itchy. I blame Barry Switzer.

      I don't think that's enough time to get you a gift. Sorry.

  21. I'll be at the Omaha Beef game tonight 3/6 stop by. I'll be on the 25 yard line, behind the benches about 3 or 4 rows up. Stop and say 'hi'. Of course I won't be able to hear you because it's so loud in there but it's the thought that counts.

    1. NUance

      NUance

      Sounds good! Except the 300 mile drive for me is a bit too far for a Beef game.

  22. What's on my mind? I just had to give up cable, I already have the shakes.

    1. suh_fan93

      Will you be getting it back once college football season starts? I've come close to getting rid of it after football was over but never did.

    2. RunMickeyRun02

      RunMickeyRun02

      We'll see where we're at money wise by then. I'd really hate to miss a Football game, the last game I missed was Missouri in 2005
