      Some of the best FM songs were written by her: You Make Loving Fun and Little Lies are both her (and YMLF was written about the lighting tech she was having an affair with, not her husband John).

      Yes RIP.  But honestly, I was more of a Peter Green fan.  He was the sound and soul.

       

       

       

      Reminded me of bluesy Waylon Jennings 

       

       

      (It always comes back to blues & country....guitars, soul.... then rock, country, metal, rap, hiphop...etc....)

  4. Brisket smoking advice?

     

    I’ve only smoked a couple briskets before. They turned pretty good but, after watching some YouTube vids, thinking about doing a couple things different. 1- I’ve always done them fat cap up but going to do this one fat side down. 2- I’ve wrapped in foil but this time going to use pink butcher paper and pour some smoked wagyu beef tallow on the meat side as I wrap it.  Any comments? @BigRedBuster?

      Turned out awesome. Best one I’ve done by far. The flat sliced well, will accordion but not fall apart and not dry. The point….got some to slice  but most kinda ripped apart. That point meat is money. Took about 1.5 lbs of burnt ends. Too tired to finish them today. Hopefully they’ll reheat okay with some sauce another day (next Saturday for the game) If not they’re fine as is.

      @JJ Husker What was the internal temp when you pulled it off?  Did you test the temp both in the point and flat?

    4. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      @BigRedBuster It ranged from 198 to 202 in the 4 places I checked it. I don’t recall what it was specifically in the point. I think the long rest is where the point went a bit too far.

       

      As far as carving, the flat was perfect, got good slices that would accordion but not fall apart. Slicing the point was a bit dicier. Got some slices but some fell apart. I was using a serrated bread knife so a better knife would’ve helped.

       

      I may separate the point from the flat next time…?

    Missouri State is not a real school and, if it were, nobody cares.

      I am cautiously hopeful that between the new coaches, portal additions and easier schedule that we can turn the corner next year. To me the most important fix has to happen on the O line. 

  11. Happy New Year Huskerboard.

      It was 8 weeks straight and 3 hard losses against legit teams.  This was fatigue.  And a terrible kicker.  Get an O Line, this team wins all their games this year 

    3. JJ Husker

      There always needs to be “ifs” or excuses for this team to explain how they’re going to or should’ve won. Sick of it.

  14. Is it too late to switch directions on the new football temple? I’m imagining an ice rink with a future hockey facility built on the former memorial stadium site.

  15. Talk about an antidote for Kool-Aid. Just watch this clown show for one half of football. RIP hopes and dreams.

      No indication whatsoever that this team should be investigated for practicing too much.

      I guess the silver lining is he's got a full season to get it fixed and if he can't excuses won't save him. So we'll at least know what we've got.

       

      We're in sink or swim territory now. I don't think anybody really cares what they say before or after games now. Results matter and those are on Frost.

  16. Going to be some of the very first guests in downtown Lincoln’s newest hotel this weekend.

      I am very happy to see some new hotels downtown. It's been ridiculous how much hotels are on game weekend.  More competition should allow for some more reasonable rates.

    4. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Well, it wasn’t terrible but there were some issues. First the good. It is brand new and clean. The location is good for games and access to the Haymarket area. It should help slightly with price and demand.

       

      The bad. They struggled with being able to confirm reservations and the person who checked us in was not sufficiently trained. Our key cards did not work first time and had to go down to have them reprogrammed. There was an extraneous tv stand left in our room still in the bag. And the outer appearance was nothing at all like the artists rendering presented online.

       

      The ugly. Valet parking was not as promised. Told us if we called down ahead they would have our vehicle out front. Called 15 minutes before we went down but they didn’t go to retrieve until we got down there…and it took another 22 minutes. And the street noise from O Street traffic was almost unbearable. We were on 2nd floor (avoid that). My sons room was on 3rd floor and it was slightly better. A few more floors up might be tolerable. The good thing was the AC unit was so GD loud that it would drown out the street noise when it kicked on. Overall, don’t plan on staying there again but maybe it will lighten demand and pricing on others in the area.

  17. It is time once again to care about obscure sports and pretend to understand them.

      Watched USA vs Mongolia womens 3x3 basketball this morning. Myself and any two neighbors from the cul de sac would destroy Mongolia and probably give the US a run for their money. It was so sad.

      I'm curious too and can't believe they're up to 12.  Doesn't feel that long ago I when thought about getting the iphone8 lol.  My one year experiment with Apple was iphone4 s.  :woo

      I had Verizon years ago, switched to T-Mobile, and now have Google Fi. If you don't use a lot of data over the cell network, then Google Fi is the way to go IMO. Cheaper than T-Mobile (a LOT cheaper than Verizon) with slightly better coverage/reception than T-Mobile (Verizon has better coverage/reception in remote areas like the mountains). My bill for two lines with all taxes and fees included range from $50-$65/month.

    4. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Well we made the change. Everything seems fine. I think T-Mobile may lack service in some remote areas but so far I'm getting 5G everywhere I go. I've definitely noticed a big uptick in speed.  And I like my new iPhone 12, not as drastic of a change from Android as I imagined (but I'm fairly accustomed to iOS from my iPad).  We got 4 lines of service for $35 per, all taxes and fees included. Unlimited everything. They can throttle a line when it exceeds 100GB in a month. We were sharing 15GB on Verizon for quite a bit money and only flirted with that volume a few times (because my son is constantly streaming something...) 

  19. Figures.  2 to 3 weeks from being able to get the vaccine and catch the 'rona. Luckily I don't think it's going to be very bad at all.....unless it gets worse than the last couple days.

      First couple days was like a mild chest cold, thought I was getting better. Then day 3 or 4 headache got worse, started a fever and lost sense of taste and smell and pretty fatigued. I've felt better for sure but it won't be terrible if it doesn't get worse. Got the PCR test today so should know for sure in a day or two.

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Test was positive. Worst part is this frikken headache. I'll be glad when that subsides. And I have the feeling not being able to taste is going to get real annoying quickly.

      Ha, funny you say that. I had "in a playoff game" originally but since they weren't really in it, I changed it to involved. Maybe I should've said supposedly participating.

       

      Either way, I like seeing some different uniforms at this point. And way glad the Pats aren't one of them.

      @knapplc I was surprised to hear them claim that was not reviewable. I thought anything involving targeting and player safety was reviewable. I can understand how they missed that one in live action though. Lots of stuff happening on that play....goal line, pylon, fumble....

      Yeah it's kinda nice though.  Pitt and Baltimore have owned that division for so long...

      Well, I guess 2020 was good for one thing. It made today seem not quite as strange as it should have. On second thought, I guess that's not a good thing.
