Xmas32

I'm almost ashamed to post this but I finally got around to watching Breaking Bad. Holy. Crap. It was stupendous. I immediately fired up Better Call Saul afterwards.

Not too stray too far off topic but I remember this documentary as well. I want to say GSP was the focus of the documentary. Props to the UNL administration for making this happen. I can only speak for my own personal experience but I didn't hate late afternoon/night classes as the parking situation was much more tenable. Granted...I didn't have this viewpoint until I was a super duper Senior.

Woof. All Star Break is coming at a great time. Mariners are leaking oil!!

Why choose Texas Tech when you have physical evidence of what Frost's offense looks like in UCF? If you'd prefer a P5 version, check out Oregon when Frost was the OC there.

Haha, you should see some of the rules for betting on sports, it's enough to make your head spin. I don't bet a ton of soccer and I was taken aback with the sheer volume of stuff you could bet on for the World Cup.

Kerblamo!

I get the feeling there is going to be a much tighter ship run with Frost when it comes to media access/information getting out. We as Nebraska fans have been pretty spoiled when it comes to access. I have no basis for my guess, just a gut feeling that when I hear Frost speak, he comes across as a more buttoned up guy which in turn leads me to believe he will run a more buttoned up program.

All comes down to the odds, if you gave me +10000 again next year which is what NU was listed at on Bovada I could find it in my heart to take a swing at it.

A shared Big Ten title seems like a difficult situation to me when there is a championship game unless I'm completely brainfarting on a scenario. 40/1 is still too low for Nebraska this year...you give me 75/1...ehhh I might start to consider it.

If Colorado could ever get it together again they could become a giant thorn in Nebraska's side. Boulder is an absolutely breathtaking campus. Plus, you know the herb.

Wow. Just wow. I'm terribly sorry to hear about your situation @sho. The national database they are most likely referring to is the National Student Clearinghouse, http://www.studentclearinghouse.org/ they are the 'go to' for college education. The line about you faking your official transcript is a bold statement by the HR individual. In my opinion you still have a couple avenues you could pursue. One would be to contact your potential future boss and physically show up and present your degree. Another option would be to call your former school, find out who in the registars office handles education verification and have those people speak via phone. I'll level with you, the fact that 3 candidates have all had issues verifying education is absolutely mind blowing. Something is rotten in Denmark in regards to the 3rd party firm that is doing the background verifications.

Damn you SS for pushing up Paxton's start by one day. Why! Hope his injury isn't anything serious. Agree about the As, they put a thumping on the Astros. Man...the AL West is a gosh darn rattlesnake pit.

Thanks for linking up. I've been voting as many times as I can too.

I wonder if Engelhaupt has second thoughts about flipping to Nebraska at the very end. He was locked and loaded to Wyoming. At the very least, he has his school paid for at UNL which is good.

Agreed. His SNL skits were pretty funny. This one is my favorite...

GIVE IT UP WISCONSIN. GIVE. IT. UP. CAPS LOCK FRIDAY. DROP THE HAMMER.

I got a solid chuckle out of that story. Well played TO. Well played.

This thread has become a late 80s/early 90s sports movie thread. Please adjust accordingly haha.

Yeah Clayton is fantastic. I will always give baseball beat writers a pass for wanting games to get over quickly though. 4 hour baseball games are torture. I dunno, I might be going through some small sample size bias because I got caught up on the Extra Innings podcast Divish does with Larry Stone and in all 3 episodes I listened to, Divish came across like a whiner. I will say this, he does throw some good snark when someone gets overly idiotic especially when it comes to personal attacks on him.

Haha very true.

Yeah, I agree with that take. At the same time, I don't know if it's a McKewon thing or a local paper guy take. I follow the Mariners religiously and their writer, Ryan Divish comes across the exact same way, especially on Twitter. It makes sense through their lens as their industry is in serious decline and frankly it's a tough industry in terms of transferring to do something else. I would guess it's either do this or go teach somewhere if you want to say in the industry. The space is incredibly crowded and super competitive. Now, if I were in his shoes would I choose to come across like a smug know-it-all? No, because people buy from people they like (Sales 101). But, I understand why he would feel threatened. As for Lee, he's just washed. Ain't no changing him lol.

Ahhh, this is going to be hopefully just delicious. I did like when the OWH writers would do live chats once a week or so for 1 hour a pop. I'm surprised they got rid of them, especially given the fact they need subscribers. Granted, you could argue that having the majority of the writers doing a weekly hit with Severe takes care of that.

Would love to see him at Nebraska but I agree with @Warrior10 here. This dude has USC or UW written all over him.

That's an interesting way of looking at it. I'm not sure I would invest in Nebraska right now as I think it's probably overvalued and will come back to earth and then I would be a buyer again. Now, I would've bought heaps of NU stock after the Iowa game...man that would've been rad.
