      If memory serves, 90 minutes before kickoff is the standard, but I haven't sat in the student section for about 10 years so I'm not sure if that's changed at all.

      I love liver and onions... one of my favorite meals. Soak it in milk for a few hours first and it takes out the "gamey" taste.

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Yep, that's how I do it also. Soak it in milk, light flour breading, and fry it......when my wife isn't home cuz she can't stand the smell of it. That's why I usually get it if it's on the menu when we eat out.

      The liver I get, but I don’t think human bodies are suppose to have onions. Glad they are in good health though.

  4. I've really been liking this Jersey Mike's that opened here recently.

      I love our Jersey Mike's.  They give you so much meat and their bread is amazing.  

    3. JJ Husker

      I agree @ladyhawke the bread is awesome and there must be a solid 1” of meat on that Super Sub. I also love their oil and vinegar and seasoning. The meatballs are like 2”-2.5” diameter full size meatballs cut in half. Where is the drooling emoji? Think I know what I’m having for lunch.

  6. So is it a new goal to remove all possibly contentious discussion from status updates?

      It was pretty obviously a political post. Why would you even post that America was triggered if it wasn't? You could post a million other catch phrases and not have had an issue.

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      @ZRod Like I said, maybe it's just me and maybe I'm wrong or in the minority. I guess stating that America is triggered doesn't throw it into some untouchable realm or necessarily make it political in nature by my standards. 

    4. Enhance

      @Comfortably Numb I didn't see the status update in question but I know the photo you're referencing. I would say, on balance, sharing that topic in the status updates (given the context/intent of that photo and the general contentious nature of guns in America) is a bad idea. Adding a personal comment about people being 'triggered' is an additional bad idea because of that term's popularity and negative connotation recently.

       

      Ultimately, and as you mentioned, it's not really about squelching political speech or freedom of expression. It's more about a) what our members tell us they want b) what's best for the board. Although P&R is a popular forum here, I will always fall back on this being a Huskerboard and we need to usually make that the priority consideration. When political status updates were really at a head last year, we lost some members and had people tell us they didn't want to join our board because of the overwhelming political tones. I think ultimately trimming down this talk in the status updates, while keeping P&R open, is a healthy and amicable balance for everyone involved.

       

      I do appreciate your understanding, though. Sorry if I came off as a bit of a jerk above. The moderation aspect has helped us quite a bit but it wasn't a driving factor.

      @ZRod I had planned to crutch it but it powered right through the stall. Its at 180 now so it will definitely be done for supper. Going to put it  in the faux cambro when it hits 203. I did inject it with some beef broth. I didn't go low sodium but I did cut back a little on the exterior salt rub. I used Meathead's Big Bad Beef rub recipe and tweaked it a bit. Added some finely ground coffee (Starbucks Sumatra) and a bit more garlic and cayenne and a touch of brown sugar.

      Right before I serve it up , I like throw it on the grill on the highest flame setting for a few minutes to crisp the bark back up. And as a hair removal process for my hands and arms!

      Yes but it's Soooo good. I get a hankering for Menudo on the weekends when it's a little chilly out. I don't generally like it otherwise. The Barbacoa is just a nice change from usual breakfast fare. We have a little Mexican bakery that does both excellent. And their fresh made tortillas are killer.

  13. Been a bad week in Greeley high schools.  3 HS students, 1 from each of the 3 largest schools, have committed suicide within 4 or 5 days of each other. We knew one of the kids. Pretty sad and concerning.

      That is awful and I am sorry to hear that. We have had 5 suicides this school year at the HS. Neighboring schools have had issues too.  Kids anywhere from 12 to 18 years old taking their own lives.  Really makes you stop and think about the impact you can have on your environment.  Even the smallest act of kindness or attempt at connecting with someone could save a life.  Prayers for those you have lost and for those who are hurting and need help.  

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Wow, just found out some details on the kid we knew. More of stupidity/accident than suicide. Apparently he put one bullet in a revolver, spun it and lost.  supposedly was driving with his girlfriend, on cocaine, and he was distraught that she was breaking up with him. Yes, I said he was driving, the car was moving, and his GF was in there as he decided to play drug addled Russian roulette. And why did he have a revolver handy? There's a lot to process with this one.

      My guess is that Becky turned them down if they even offered it. I think she'll be better off in the long run staying in the NBA. Just bustin' CSU's chops because of all the talk here a couple weeks ago.

      Maybe we could get Becky to coach in Lincoln? 

       

      I mean, it's not like we could 'not' get into the NCAA Tournament any more than we have lately, right? And frankly, she's got NBA chops that the kids looking to go to the next level would love. 

       

      Find some great assistant coach talent to bolster her, and we'd be a hell of a story, and possibly a hell of a program down the road. 

  15. A bit strange being back in Huskerland. I forgot the year round preoccupation of the media with Husker football. I mean I knew it still existed but I just really hadn’t experienced it firsthand without actively searching for it here on HB.

      @MLB 51 From what I've seen with stain is you can build more depth of color, do veins etc. I want to make it look like granite or natural stone. Got 5 different stain colors. Going to put some mica flakes in the epoxy, do a few dark veins. Imma go crazy.

    3. RedDenver

      No Illegal Pete’s that I know of....Don’t think I’ve even heard of that. Just a lot of hole in the wall places around here with really good mex food. A lot of them you wouldn’t go into if you didn’t know any better. The one I wish we’d get up here in Greeley is a Hacienda Colorado. Got those down in Denver and the Springs....more Tex-mexish, pretty good stuff.

      Back in the day I played a lot of shuffleboard and was very good. Every once in awhile hustlers would show up at the bar we played at. Of course we played for money. So I would sandbag strangers early and then when they raised the stakes would reverse hustle them. That almost led to some blood being shed a few times :D

      I came very close to being in a train accident back when I was in high school. I had a car-full of friends, we were goofing off, and nobody (including me) noticed the train until the very last second. I was able to slam on the brakes and somehow slide to a stop about 10 feet from the tracks. They put up lights and a crossing arms the next year, but I still find myself thinking about what could have happened. We were lucky. I'm sorry this young lady was not.
