  1. Minny game is going to be mid-30s and a 40% chance of snow.  I want to go, but my couch sounds so good in that weather...

      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. 

  2. Mizzou is hiring someone named Eliah Drinkwitz as their head coach and paying him $4m/year.

  3. My goal for this weekend is to run into Fred while I’m attending various Final Four activities around town.

      He better be in Lincoln making the team run gassers :lol:

       

      ...and then I might be able to run into him.

      Just let him know you're on HB and that will get you in the door.

  4. Nebraska has the longest current losing streak in FBS. Let that sink in...

      yea. and probably the only team with a walkon QB. i blame the riley calabassas movement. that was just all around the worst thing to ever happen to our program. a bunch of rich kids from california and a grandpa coach.

    2. Red Five

      Minnesota is 2-0 with a walkon true freshman QB

      @Red FiveI do believe that is called "Point, Set and Match"

  5. Nebrasketball takin care of business tonight.

  6. Oregon St won at Colorado 41-34 in OT.  Beavs came back from 31-3 deficit in the 2nd half.

      I slept on this game and was going to dvr it.  Wow.

  7. Pour a little scalding hot nacho cheese out.  Downtown Lincoln Amigo’s is closing.

      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.

      The Spurrier reaction to the interception was awesome.

      Florida looks terrible. Zero discipline. For sure not a top 10 team, probably not top 15.

  9. Rex injured Brady’s hand!

  10. Ring or Nest doorbell?

      We went with SimpliSafe.  They had some deals on different packages that included a free camera.  You can add on however many sensors/cameras/fobs/etc... you need.  Picture is very clear and the speaker function with the doorbell camera works great.  Notifications come through almost instantly when there is motion detected.  

  11. Rutgers would like the thank Maryland for dominating the CFB news cycle yesterday so that this story was buried

      A player charged with attempted double murder should get you a better record. Rutgers isn’t doing something right

  12. Sam Koch has been punting in the NFL for 14 years and earned almost $30M.

      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. 

  13. Saw the Gopher Football equipment truck on I-80 about 15 miles from Lincoln at 8:15 this morning.  Using my UNL math, that means it would have left Minneapolis at ~2AM.

      I was trying to find a relevant gif for sneaking or parachuting onto the truck to steal the trophy and I found this and now I feel sad for all the dead pigs. I ate pork like 10 mins ago.

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

      @Comfortably Numb last week the day before it snowed we hit 68. What a kick in the nuts to drive home from work the next day in a snowpack.

    4. Scarlet Overkill

      Gonna get our share in a few hours here... the kind of snow that lost us power for a week, a few years ago.

  16. So is Blackshorts a thing? I’d never heard that term until today.

    1. knapplc

      knapplc

      It's lo-casual been a thing for a few years. Not a big deal. Just something fun for the VB team, and a nod to the great Husker football teams of the past.

      The volleyball program can do whatever they want and I’ll buy into. 

    3. Red Five

      Agree @Savage Husker.  If anything, the football program needs to be copying volleyball stuff.

  17. So is this rock bottom?

  18. So Michigan has an Amazon documentary out about their 2017 season and gets ESPN to send a reporter to cover their spring trip to France.  Can you imagine the coverage they would get if they would actually finish higher than 3rd in the East?

    1. NUance

      NUance

      Yeah, they really put the lipstick on that pig that was the 2017 season.  Must have great marketing personnel in the Meechicken athletic dept.  lulz

  19. So my work Net Nanny blocked Huskerboard today.  The reason is because "website has swimsuit/lingerie content".

      When my son played Squirt level hockey (ages 9-10) our work filter would block all the team emails with the word squirt in it.

      I think we're going to make our next board fundraiser a 'donate a dollar every time someone mentions a journalism organization requesting money for their content' drive.

       

      Should be able to hit the goal in a week's time.

      @Enhance Use the money to buy a subscription for the board.

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

    3. Red Five

      Red Five

      @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”.

    4. HuskerForTrump2020

      HuskerForTrump2020

      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. 

  22. Taking the kids (10, 7) to the zoo in Omaha on Friday before heading to the game on Saturday.  First time I have been to Henry Doorly zoo in 10+ years.  Anyone got and zoo tips/must see/etc?

      That new Asian Highlands exhibit was a work-in-progress when we went this summer.  Maybe skip that.

      If they have it open, my son (9) really enjoyed the sting ray exhibit where you can touch the sting rays. He also really enjoyed the aquarium and the swamp. The desert dome wasn't the best in his opinion. He also liked the monkeys and the giraffes.

      Sorry- I just noticed you said Friday.  I thought that was a lot for one day.  lol

      The zoo is so big that it might be kind of hard to sustain the kiddos attention to see the whole thing-but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try. We normally end with an Imax movie-entertaining and restful.  I haven't been since summer 2017, but the aquarium is by far our favorite as well as the giraffe nursery. Don't know if they continually have babies there. And if you can believe, we love the petting zoo.  Kind of weird since our kids are far from young, but on our last trip the baby goats were play fighting and it was adorable. 

  23. Thanks Bo and Tim!

      @HuskerInLostWages Instead of the XFL, really wish the CFL would make another go at trying to get American teams added/expanding.  The games are fun to watch, and the timing doesn't interfere with anything of import, sports-wise. 

       

       

    3. HuskerInLostWages

      @VectorVictorI have never watched the CFL actually.

      Instead of just taking NFL leftovers they should try taking the best players out of high school who don't want to attend college.
