  1. What happens when a player on a NCAA tournament team tests positive for Covid, and that team and their opponents need to be quarantined? Say a team makes the Sweet 16 and needs to be quarantined?

      @knapplc I'm curious how one could transmit Syphilis during a sporting event. 

       

      Well, unless it's Greco-Roman Wrestling. That one's pretty obvious.

      @VectorVictor back in the day, didn't KSux accuse us of....activities....on the bottom of the pile that could directly induce syphilis transmission?

    4. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      @JJ Huskeryup, but as I understand it, what happens at the bottom of the pile stays at the bottom of the pile.

      Inconvenient truth: the real +1s, such as they are, are not back.

       

      Mavric just renamed "like" and changed the blue heart icon to this one. It's not even the same color as the original "+1" icon. 

       

      Mavric doesn't have a heart.

      It was a choke job. Atlanta had a 99.6% probability to win at one point in the 4th quarter. They collapsed and choked.

      Atlanta's choke job was greater for sure.

  6. Was supposed to fly to Cancun this morning. Woke up at 1am, puked on and off til 4am. Needless to say I was not getting on a 8am flight. Wife called Delta, explained the situation, and they changed us to tomorrow with no charge (didn’t think that was possible in this day and age). Woke up from a “nap” a bit ago feeling much better. Hoping tomorrow will be a go...

      Delta is usually pretty good about giving you a once a year exception to move a flight around when life happens. I've had to do it a couple times. Godspeed with you recovery!

  9. 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.

      It'll be interesting to see what a spring game would look like if Nebraska had an ordinary fan base.

      Coaches hate spring games.  I see this as an excuse for most to cancel them and just have another practice/controlled scrimmage.

      @Red Five Yeah but our coaches love it for recruiting purposes because of how our fandom is. 

  15. Mods, can there be a new forum called "arguments over coaches" where all the Solich/Callahan/Pelini/Riley crap can go?

  16. Heading to Vegas tomorrow.  I am just tagging along as my wife has a conference Thurs-Fri, so my days are free.  Thinking poker tournaments and just wandering.  Should I hit a "dispensary" and get some brownies?

      Those are the best trips. My wife had a conference in Orlando for a week. I tagged along and had the days free. It was awesome. Saw a space shuttle being ferried in on top of a 747 purely by accident as I was driving over to the Johnson space center and I could now lead tours at Epcot. We had supper every night in a different country at Epcot. Good week. If it was Vegas, I'd prly still be in debt. :lol:

      Zach Smith, former WR coach at Ohio State got fired.  He had this stupid Zone 6 thing he did.  He and Keith Williams fired some shots at each other via social media and we all had a good laugh.

      Maybe. Either he was completely absorbed in the early signing period or polishing up his resume for the NFL because he certainly was not preparing his team for their bowl game.

      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.

  24. If the CFP committee is going to rank Penn St above Clemson, then Penn St also needs to be above Bama.  Penn St has 2 top 25 wins, while Clemson and Bama have 0.

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

    3. Red Five

      Red Five

      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.

    4. ActualCornHusker

      ActualCornHusker

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