Red Five

I wonder if his teammates can pronounce his name yet?  

Nice gig if you can get it.

Wonder if he'd be willing to coach in Lincoln as a Special Teams coordinator. Figure he'd have some good insight and instincts with 18+ years of quality competition under his belt. 

36 years old

Link?

What in the name of Google have you been searching?

Sign me up, by the way

Wait, that’s a good Christmas gift. Which ad is that?

And the union has a ton of places to eat now compared to back in the day.

I also think Amigo's was hurt when people started being smart and not driving home drunk from the bars.  That meant less people stopping at Amigo's on their way home, and having their Uber take them right home.

Amigo's isn't great, but the food brings back nostalgic memories.  The OP of the scalding bucket of cheese was spot on.  That had to be the hottest substance known to man.

Romeo's was always better anyways.

looks like its on black friday to me https://fbschedules.com/ncaa-2020/team/nebraska

Luckily the new AD fixed that IIRC

Sonos is fantastic. While I don’t own one, an old roommate did and I enjoyed it. It’s my goal to have a system in my house someday. 

I have a Sonos beam as my soundbar in my living room and love it.  

Love Sonos. Have a sub, playbar and a couple ones. Hits hard. Connect Spotify, control everything with your phone....its awesome. Going to get a beam for upstairs soon.

Easy money.

Wiscy?  Well, the Huskers beat Illinois.  And Illinois beat Wiscy.  So ... Transitivity theory!!!

14 points. Should be closer to 20

Those were the good ol days....

Man that was a weird one 

Oh that's too bad.  They broke their long non-sellout streak.  

The 1 point win over UNC is probably what has them lower.  Bama has been pretty dominant.  

Bama’s schedule to this point has been terrible.  Their opponents win % is .459 (Penn St is at .630). And Penn St and Bama have very similar average margin of victories (33.4 vs 28.9).

So if you are looking at games played to this point, Penn St deserves to be above Bama because they have much better wins.

Agreed. But it will all play out. Let's just hope LSU beats Bama, and for good measure, hopefully Auburn beats Bama as well...

Visited here for that Miami game... was so impressed he said he'd vote Ameer for Heisman if he could. Then we kinda just cooled on him. 

I don't know if we cooled on him or he on us.  The story I've heard since then was he was interested but we weren't at the top of his list.

I thought the crystal ball pick was saying Nebraska for him and then signing day came and, well, he went another way. We've always heard about these 'Silent Commits" that are going to sign when the day comes up but who are unwilling to do a verbal ahead of time. Had he been one of those guys, it would have changed Husker history. I really think Bo would still be here today. But he didn't come here. Bo wasn't able to get that one super star difference maker. He got more and more frustrated and... eventually, we know what happened.

They just gave him the greatest gift...paying him not to work.

Taggert pulled in a great recruiting class last year (Rivals #18) and was working on an even better class this year (#15).  Firing him now was a stupid, wasteful thing to do.  I hope they really s#!t the bed with their next hire.  

Not surprised at all, they wanted him to be the fall guy.  Should have given him another year.

So...uhhh....was it a boy or a girl?

I could really go off on how absolutely stupid these gender reveals, couples engagement showers, etc. have become. It's just people wanting to feel more important than they are and one upping others on social media. It's stupid, please stop. But the thing that gets me in this story is that some writer chose to say they "inadvertently" detonated a pipe bomb.  They may have inadvertently killed Nana but I'm quite sure they fully intended to set off the bomb they obviously built for the event. I'd call it a Darwin moment but I'm guessing it didn't kill the correct person(s).

One family's pyrotechnic is another families pipe bomb.

Glad to see no OU in playoff.  Their defense is not playoff caliber and they’d get blown out against other top teams.  That offense is flashy and covers a lot for stinky defense. #Exposed.

What did you post? There was a giant video ad playing on top of it.

Charmin 4 ply.

We had a bit of a bust that year for QBs...

I feel you on that one but you know how it goes.  Those games usually end up being the crazy/fun ones.  Tough call!

You should go. Could be a close, memorable game.

Plus they have beer there. 

It makes me wonder just how terrible his back up is at blocking.

Meh, his blocking has gotten a lot better. He did a decent job against OSU last week from what I remember. The snaps though, it's not that hard to get right. I think he's just trying to get it back there too fast. It's more a finesse movement than a power movement. The speed comes from being smooth.

I'm surprised we haven't tried dead ball snaps yet.

My favorite...when travel teams from Omaha travel to KC and end up playing 4 teams from Omaha!  Hahaha

@krc1995 “travel” meaning that we play other twin city metro area suburbs/schools.  The team is made up of kids in our school district.  It’s about a tournament every other weekend from November through February.  It’s not AAU or anything where we are going to Chicago or someplace.

Trust me, I don’t have dreams of the kid being the next Larry Bird, and his chances of ever playing varsity is slim being that our school has about 900/grade.

But he is a good athlete and enjoys the challenge of playing against good competition.  He told me many times last year when we were winning games by 40 points in our house league that it “wasn’t much fun”.

I would consider it a blessing he has this opportunity to be one that isn't picked and the fact that it upset him would bring me even more joy.  You have the makings of a winner in the best sense. 

I was 17 in ‘96 and still remember things around that game like it yesterday.  I remember what friends house I watched it at and who I was sitting next to.  It was the most surreal thing seeing us be incompetent like that after the past 3 years.

Thanks for reminding us 

Trust me, I didn’t want to be reminded. But it popped up on Twitter feed as a “this day in college football history” or something.  So I figured I’d share my misery with everyone else.
