Just seeing this, @Xmas32 and @funhusker, but I don't believe so; I just heard NebrasketballMike call into Sharp and Benning earlier this week.
-
@Cdog923 thanks for the news. Not that one death is better than the other, but I just always appreciate the calls from NebrasketballMike. Even if its about something negative, he always seems to phrase things in a respectful way.
It seems like the hosts really appreciate him too. I remember one time his call got cut off short and there was "cussing" or something as the call was disconnected. It did sound a bit off. The USC hosts were beside themselves. They were begging for folks that knew Mike to check on him and let them know if he was okay. They were wrecks for like a half hour. It ended up being something really silly like Mike's cat jumping on his desk and hanging up the phone and unplugging cords.

@funhusker Yea, Mike's one of the best regulars that 1620 has.

For anyone looking for Husker gear, Homefield Apparel is dropping Nebraska stuff tomorrow. Their stuff is incredibly comfortable and well made. They have a tendency to drop some really cool items so I'm sure it'll be a big hit.

I'm digging this throwback t-shirt to the 70/71 NCs:

I dig all the stuff, my only minor nitpick would be getting this crewneck sweatshirt in hoodie form:
I love that version of Herbie.
-
Granted, this is pretty close I just like the quality of Homefield's stuff.

Really fun story on The Athletic talking about the 2004 HC search. For those that don't have a subscription, the NFL coach that Stevie P always hinted at was supposedly Mike Sherman.
-
For as much guff as Dirk gets on here, at the end of the day, he's a phenomenal long-form story teller. Great article about the '01 Nebraska CWS team.

@RedDenver depends on what type of writing.
Dirk is fantastic on the long feature pieces that takes more thought and research. He’s actually very good.
-
Looks like Nate Clouse is moving on from Husker Online. Will be interesting to see where he ends up.
-
Also RIP to Beverly Cleary. I guarantee that almost all of us read at least one of her books when we were kids.
-
RIP to Larry McMurty author of of "Lonesome Dove", "Last Picture Show" and "Terms of Endearment" plus a lot of other great stuff. "Lonesome Dove" is a banger. So freaking good.
-
Man, today would be a great day to knock off from work early and go catch an early season NU baseball game. Saw a tweet from Sam McKewon that essentially echo'd the same thing. They'd get a sneaky big crowd with state basketball going on.
-
Seeing Mike Sautter getting let go from the OWH is quite the head scratcher. Makes absolutely zero sense and I hope Mike is able to land on his feet. He did a tremendous job covering the prep scene.
-
So I just found out about this Runza secret menu and my mind is just blown. I can't believe I was too dumb not to ever order or ask about chili cheese fries. I shall be correcting this over the weekend.
-
I tell you what...a 30 for 30 on the '95 Huskers if it dropped this fall would sure go a long way to soothing some pain on a missed season. Actually, having HCSF and TO breaking down some of the big games of the 90s over Zoom would be pretty darn cool. Hat tip to the guy who I saw recommend this on Mitch Sherman's Athletic mailbag.
-
I love the concept of relegation that European soccer leagues use and wish it would make it's way to American sports. Fun article about what it would like in CFB.

I hate the ties, but I really like the relegation factor.
@Undone the long baseball season is definitely a factor in why the sport is very regionalized until the playoffs.
-
Fun SI article that lists what school are the 'Modern U' at each position for CFB:
-
CU looking close to hiring Karl Dorral as the next HC. You might remember Karl from a completely forgettable stretch as head coach for UCLA in the mid 2000s.
-
Part 1 of the 30 for 30 on Mike Vick is scheduled to go tonight at 8pm CDT on either ESPN or ESPN2. Should be pretty good.
-
Man this gave me all the feels and took me back to my college days. Peak Ringer!

For anyone looking to subscribe to The Athletic here's a link for 50% off for the first year. I appreciate everyone who gave me insight into their experience. Just took the plunge.

Not quite sure, if I had to guess, probably until 4th of July or maybe a day or two after? I found the 50% off link on June 28th on Adam Hansmann's (who appears to be the co-founder of The Athletic) Twitter. They always seem to have a 30% off promo floating around but I guessed they would run a 50% off promo over the 4th of July and thankfully, I guessed correctly. Hard to beat $2.50/mo.

Colt .45 or O.E. 800? BONUS CONTENDER Mickey's

Big day in the Xmas household for sports. Tottenham plays in the Champs League final at 2p, Skers at 7p against Okie Lite. A sweep would be oh so delicious.

Ugh, yup pretty awful all the way around. That Champs League final was frankly...a pretty bad match. So disjointed. The early penalty (which was harsh) really threw a wrench into the flow of the match. Credit to Liverpool, they were the ones doing the mucking and outside of a free kick and maybe one other chance, completely locked Spurs down.

Any HB members subscribe to The Athletic? If so, what are your thoughts? Thinking about pulling the trigger next time they run a big sign up sale.

A buddy of mine lent me his credentials a couple of months ago. After checking it out for a few weeks, I haven't used his subscription since. I don't seek out content for professional teams or national sporting news very often, and when I do, it's mostly from other outlets (i.e. the Trib or something like that). I don't fault The Athletic for this though - it's just not really worth the cost to me personally.
Mitch Sherman is OK, but his quantity/quality of content isn't enough to have a subscription just because of him, IMHO. I also think there are a few better local reporters who have better connections. He's more of a salad to the main dish.

Oh my...well done Los Angeles Chargers social media team! This is pretty darn funny.

The Packers did a Pac-Man theme:

Well done Purdue. Well. Done.
Did somebody cut some onions in here?

After watching this last season of Last Chance U I'm absolutely floored something like this happened...

After watching the first couple episodes of the INDY Last Chance U made me feel this coach wasnt fit to be around young men. This quote is not surprising at all, and the way he treats players is unacceptable. Add on the fact he was extremely unorganized and had a limited knowledge of football and this guy's incompetence was quite impressive.
