Panthers. Unfortunately.

Panthers

I agree with JJ

JJ, you insensitive bigot. Welcome to the age of moral relativity, where no action can be taken that would benefit 99.9% of a population if it offends the .1%!!

Have patience, my friends.

This has got to be an incredibly uncomfortable status update for some.

Yep, wish everyone could come a little closer to the center, but it is what it is. A time out getting away from all the bad vibe, might be the ticket!

Remember when unflattering comments of President Obama were removed from the status bar because "we always do that with political posts"?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Alright, see you in 2020.

He's a Godsend.

I'm offended.

Are you making fun of fat people?

It's too bad everything he had ever done in his entire life didn't warn us.

It's too bad the Dems thought a robot was their best choice to run

Yep, if they'd run literally anyone else we wouldn't have the sh!tshow we do now.

We cancelled school that day so shift liability of injury back on the parents. North Platte is taking all the kids to the football field to watch. I worry that kids will not listen to directions and will take off the glasses and burn their eyeballs!

It's absolutely worth it if you like that kind of stuff. It's literally a once in a lifetime, very magnificent experience. There's videos on youtube of crowds reacting to full solar eclipses and they're just incredible.

Coach- Who's going to keep them from staring at the sun all the other days of the year? I heard about schools cancelling for liability on the radio....IMO, pretty stupid. Although I don't mind if it's because they realize the day will essentially be wasted.

Make that 4

Hello....McFly....Anybody home? 

We're still relevant if we attract trolls.  

I prefer to live in the moment. Plans are for losers!

I wasn't commenting so much on that type of planning. I'm not real big on planning ahead for my personal time either....unless it's something that is vital. I've just had a bunch of customers lately that request things they have obviously known they will need for a long time and they want us to sh#t it out in a day or two and it's not the types of things that usually get done within a month let alone in a day. Gettin' kind of annoying.

Example...one of them is building a chain coffee shop and it's well along the way but they just now are asking for custom designed and built decorative awning deals that need to be powder coated......they want them now but out of the goodness of their heart said they could wait up to two weeks. WTF, lead time for the painting alone is typically two weeks. More of 6-8 week type project. It isn't just them though, seems everyone has severely shortened expectations. I laughed and told them to let me know if they find anyone that can do it within a month because I might have a bunch of work for them.

Well, I thought BB’s was great. Liked the atmosphere, they had a good beer selection (had Kinkaider Devils Gap Jalapeño Ale) and my meal was excellent. I went with the crawfish platter (Etouffee and fried tails) and fried gator appetizer. My fave was the Crawfish Etouffee and rice. My wife and daughter really liked their meals also. Wanted to round it out with Bananas Foster but couldn’t talk anybody into splitting it with me. 

Earlier in the day we had lunch at Mellow Mushroom. Was very happy with that too. Their lunch special, $6.99, is a steal. Had half order of wings and a bowl of mushroom soup. It was a pick two deal, also could’ve gone with a salad or hoagie or slice of pizza. Maybe the best value, least costly meal I’ve seen in a long time.

Visit any old bars or the old frat?

@teachercd No. We were pretty occupied all day. Plus my old frat (Kappa Sigma) doesn’t exist as I remember it anymore. They got their charter pulled shortly after I left and lost the house. They may have made a comeback, colony or something, but I don’t think they have an actual house on campus right now.

I will say I just perused the Huskermax site and the ads did not appear overwhelming and I experienced no pop ups. Sure they’re there but they were fixed in place so I could tune them out. Maybe it will be tolerable.

@JJ Husker, the pop ups are very sporadic, can not exist for months. I’m pretty sure they’re unintentional. See the cafe forum there for some examples of problems people have ran into.

@JJ Husker my only qualm with digital advertising is what kind of impact it has on site performance and load times. Certain types of digital ads (particularly one kind known as programmatic in the industry) can cause sites to take anywhere from 5-15 seconds longer to load. Google started penalizing sites that utilized pop ups within the last couple of years, but that hasn't stopped them from being used, of course.

Overall, digital ads have never really bothered me. I know I'm going to be served them, so if I'm going to be served them, they might as well be targeted to my interests. Part of this may be because I'm almost 30 and digital ads have just been a part of most of my life practically. Advertising is also how most online content publishers subsidize themselves. Look at The Athletic. They require a subscription and don't serve any ads, but they also have YET to turn a profit, and it's still unclear if they will. People want their cake and they want to it eat it, too.

15 posts on something like the gameday posts makes it damn near impossible to follow now.  You post and then bam, a whole new page and a second page as you're trying to catch up, easier to just skip pages and go to the end.  I finally got to the point I just said screw it i will just miss a bunch of posts, im not fighting with it anymore.

@JJ Husker I agree the 15 posts/page is super annoying.  As for the new poster influx, I think that seems to be the case every football season.  A flood of new posters and without fail 99% of them are troll accounts/super negative.  Definitely a 1-2 whammy out of the chute and if you (not you specifically 'you' in general) were annoyed over the posts/page thing, loading a new page and seeing it full of of new posters spouting garbage would be aggravating.  I've found that staying away on gamedays works well for me as the game threads are hellscapes of negativity and there is far too much wild overreaction.  I'll pop back in on the 'What did we learn' thread and during the week it calms down.

Will be bummed to see you go if you decide to make that step.

@Xmas32 that's pretty much it exactly. Although I learned to stay away from the game threads a long time ago. I'll pop in there from time to time just to see what asinine takes are being pushed. But it's definitely just for entertainment purposes and nothing I take too seriously. The typical influx of negative posters is never welcome but coupled with the 15 post thing it is really rubbing me the wrong way. Of course having my Kool-Aid bubble burst in game 1 isn't helping either.

PiHole FTW

There used to be a link at the bottom of the main page that allowed you to switch back and forth from mobile to desk top version.  Now it's gone.

Using safari.  

@BigRedBuster I think it disappeared with the last major board update prior to the purchase.

Oh I'm speeding alright  Just hit Ogallala. About 2.5 hours left.

@RedDenver ha, it’s funny that you link that. I saw more than a few yard signs around Lincoln on Saturday for College Hunks Hauling Junk.

He was working that overhand right the whole fight. If Brook didn't just happen to step into the one that damaged him his eye would have been swollen shut before the end of the night. That was his weakness and Bud saw it early.

The first fight, the aussie got robbed.  Bud did well but prior to that it was a pretty even fight, then he caught him when he stepped in.  Enjoyed the fight.

I would love to see Bud fight the winner of Spence vs Garcia.

The season will be here before you know it, imo

Now that IS relevant GSG.

What's your opinion on "fact". Is that relevant?

I know the difference BBB12. I DON'T GIVE A f#*k! Excuses or explanations explaining why we underperformed or didn't succeed- I'm tired of needing explanations. It's time for results. Adapt, overcome....and leave the cry towels at home.

This whole tirade is not aimed at you btw. It is aimed at our inept coaching staff. If they worried half as much about preparing this team and actually coaching them to win as they do about f'ing twitter and some asshat journalists and boo hoo poor officiating, we would be seeing different results.

I'm in total agreement JJ. These kinds of excuses never flew for decades. So why accept it now? Because some asshat talking head says we should? Expect excellence, and accept nothing less.

Manning talking about havin a BL last week just seals he's all about the bad boy life style and cold one city. That load Brady is probably worried about his fuzzy boots. Idiot.

and with manning, papa's in the house, you guys. a couple bold flavor bad boys. so money. man.

Who's playin'? (I hate the offseason)

The way I'm drinking at the moment, I'M going to be as incomprehensible as the Broncos. I don't even want halftime to end. That says alot

The offseason is going to see lots of people try to copy the Seattle defense.

Don't give up on em yet fellas.

i'll second Bray, we craigslisted for a bunch of stuff for our new place, if youre careful and selective you can get awesome stuff real cheap

The food is decent. (Seriously, some IKEAs have a cafe in them.)

Thanks guys. We went, got him some housewares crap etc at Ikea but got his desk and a chair at American Furniture Warehouse. I would've liked to try Ikea's cafe or some of their Swedish food but we were ready to get the hell out of there. Sort of felt like a mouse in a maze in that place.

Aleve woulda worked fine.

Did you try rubbing dirt on it?

Tried rubbing it out......is that the same thing?

meh, all those guys are just pissed because they rushed out and bought a closet full of sweater vests.

I would argue that you can use this logic on any coach that's not a winner moving to a bigger program. Resources don't mean much if you don't have a winner, ask Michigan or Florida. It took Notre Dame several hiring/firings to be competitive.

I'm not impressed with the hire, but I'm going to reserve judgement on him as Nebraska's coach until he's coached at least a few seasons.

Honestly we have the talent, in the past it's just come down to depth and coaching.

We did go toe to toe with USC, so its not like we are Purdue. But our line play needs to get a lot better

I was going to mention that strig and I remembered we're supposed to have so highly touted redshirt freshmen on the OL next year.

Okay, I just read the "Biggest winners and losers" thread. Maybe that's what you're talking about? Meh. Just message board crap.

Not everyone is going to agree with what you think.

Lol welcome to the last two years of Bolievers harassing the Boleavers

Ok, so you know where the Embassy Suites in west Omaha is? This JJ's Place is about 9 hours west of there.

What is your address...we can all stop over!

I know the place. Just follow me in the black truck.

GSG- Could you make that sound more angry and hate filled? I'm just not buying it.

Uh oh, time to be worried again. Tickets fell through. Back on the hunt.

I'm not really an angry guy, sorry. But I am liking the FFF = f'ing fairweather fan lol
