  1. 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!

      Hope you continue feeling better and are able to enjoy the trip.

  2. Found out that the high school neighbor girl who babysits our kids was one of the dancers in JT's halftime performance.  That's pretty cool...

      I can't count the number of times my coworker has brought her up (he grew up a couple of blocks away from her).  So, yeah, i could go a lifetime without having to hear her name again.  But, hey, if that's your cup of tea, enjoy your concert!

      @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.

      @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.

      This guy had the balls to send a letter to the judge in the case stating that "he is struggling to deal with victim statements and is uncertain in "my ability to be able to face witnesses these next four days, mentally.""

       

      My response would have been to force him to listen to every statement, on loop, for the entirety of his life-long prison sentence, which would hopeful be short and agonizing.

      My grandfather was born 2 years before the outbreak of WW2. Their grandfather was born 7 years after the conclusion of the American Revolution. Only 147 years in between those dates.

  8. Just bought Super Bowl tickets!

     

     

     

    Ok, it was tickets to the Super Bowl Experience.  It's kinda the same thing, right?

      Oh wait.  The SB 'Experience' and not the actual SB!  I'm sure that will still be pretty cool as well.  

  9. B1G refs had a terrible night (especially if you are a UGA fan).  They missed or called incorrectly at least 3 game changing plays (blocked punt, facemask, unsportsmanlike) that all benefited Bama.

      All four of those plays in the sbnation link were awful mis-calls.  A couple of them are perplexingly bad.  I mean, this crew is supposed to be among the best in the nation, right?

  13. Off the Disney boat and checking in from sunny (and windy) Cozumel.  The number of adults (including males) who wear Micky/Minnie/Disney shirts at all times is staggering. And the adults who go to character/princess meet and greets w/o children have a screw loose.

  15. I took the kindergartner to soccer then coached the 2nd grader's basketball team.  Anything happen when I was out?

  16. Fun Tennessee fact:  They have lost the last game they have played against every other SEC team.

  17. Clay Travis, online provocateur, routinely rants about how twitter mobs are killing our society.  Clay Travis, Vol fan, incites a twitter mob (including posting AD Currie's cell #) to stop Schiano from getting hired.  I mean...

      @dudeguyy except that he's only linked to Sandusky because someone on the stand threw him under the bus. He was investigated multiple times (including prior to his NFL gig) and was found to not be involved at all. 

       

      And Schiano would have been a good hire for Tennessee IMO. Oh well, looks like Tennessee will go from having a coaching vacancy to possibly having a coaching, AD, and possibly School President vacancy. :facepalm:

       

      Oh and to add insult to injury, multiple sites have suggested that Schiano could successfully sue Tennessee for the $20m that the contract was worth. I know he didn't sign a contract, but a LOI was signed by both parties, which would be enough.

      Is Tennessee still OK with Manning or is their outrage just selective when they didn't get the coach they wanted? 

  18. You want an 8 team playoff?  Well, this year you have a 9 team playoff.  Aub/Bama vs UGA.  Miami vs Clemson. OSU vs Wisc. OU vs TCU.

    1. Cdog923

      Cdog923

      I'll pass on the 8 team playoff, but it's nice that the CCGs are acting as defacto quarterfinal games, like they probably should. 

    2. BIG ERN

      BIG ERN

      8 is a tad much, but I don't get why there are 120+ D1 football schools when not even half of them can make the playoff.

  19. 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:

      @ladyhawke I wonder if McElwain sours the waters in Gainesville to replace him with another group of 5 coach, like Frost.

  22. Hey mods, 2 suggestions 1) Can we get a "Frost Megathread" and whenever someone starts a thread with "Frost" in the title it gets dumped in there?  2) Can we get a "Talent Megathread" and whenever someone starts a thread with "Talent" in the title it gets dumped in there?  thx

      ^if he the seasonally miraculously turns around and we finish relatively strong Riley retires. If we limp out the rest of the way, he's fired. Personally I think he's a good coach who played his hand too late. Husker fans think in warp speed. 

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