  1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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. 

  5. I just want to say that its amazing that we are living in a time where you can watch basically any sporting event via a hand held personal computer that is also a phone and camera.

     

    Kid has soccer games at 8, noon, and 2, so I should be able to catch parts of the game, but probably not the end...

      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.

      Woof. That looks like a 2007 Husker box score. 

  12. This is what Riley has done to Nebraska fans: It seems that there is a tangible amount of fans that think we will need a 12th game against a cupcake to get bowl eligibility.  Seriously?

    1. knapplc

      knapplc

      Starting a true freshman QB who hasn't been hit in live game action since 2016, 51 new scholarship players in the past year, completely new coaching staff, routines and terminology, combined with our road schedule, is a decent reason for caution. 

       

      If this team wins 7 of our remaining 11 games, it'll be super impressive.

    2. 4skers89

      4skers89

      They might be right about needing another cupcake to go bowling.  We are rebuilding and the bowl prep would be great going into next year.  That's the reality of the situation Riley and the team put us in.  Some players have mentioned championship as a goal for this year which shouldn't mean much in terms of swaying fan expectations.  We need to see a lot of improvement on field before developing a championship mindset.

    3. Nebfanatic

      Nebfanatic

      Mqybe for the fans but as far as players and coaches go championship mindset comes before championshio results

      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.

      @sho the World Cup is expanding to 48 teams (from 32) in 2026, so it won't have a huge impact on teams qualifying if all 3 nations (US, Mexico, and Canada) are given bids to the tournament.

    3. schriznoeder

      schriznoeder

      @HuskerInLostWages Plus there will be 48 teams in the 2026 field, so even if all three hosts get automatic bids, it will be mitigated to some degree.

    4. HuskerInLostWages

      HuskerInLostWages

      @ColoradoHusk @schriznoederThat definitely makes it easier to give 3 host nations auto bids.  Should help other lower teams in CONCACAF get a shot at making it now too.

  19. 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?

      Guys--this is the FBI looking into this s**t, not the NCAA. Last time I checked PMITA prison isn't something the NCAA can hand down as punishment, and people are already singing to them. This is gonna get big, it's gonna take big names (like Izzo) down, and we're probably gonna see a lot of the top tier talent immediately up and leave NCAA Basketball overnight for the the pros. 

       

      The upside to all this is that since our guys weren't projected to be top-tier NBA talent just yet, none of them have been on the dole. This means when Michigan State, Ohio State, Michigan, and/or Purdue lose their talent, we'll be projected to be one of the top teams in the B1G next season! :D

    3. jaws

      jaws

      @VectorVictor, I know the FBI is investigating but the NCAA will react to it and deal with the schools listed in the report. Judging the list of schools and names involved, the NCAA won't do much.

       

      Why are you lumping in Ohio State, Michigan, and Purdue in this. I haven't seen any of those schools or coaches implicated. If this were football, I would be a little more worried for schools like OSU and Michigan. 

    4. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      Because the list pretty much had just about all of the first few rounds of draft picks for the NBA on it, and those teams likely have at least one key player that is a high-round draft pick this year.
