    Way to ruin a perfectly fine board

    the new owner doesn't give a bleep about this board. This site is almost unusable now.

    it will kill Huskerboard.

     

    pretty sure that's the goal.

     

    RIP Huskerboard.

    Colorado, supra, asserts that I am a crazy old man. 

     

    Yes, I fully admit to being mad. Mad about the Huskers. 

     

    In the video below, Belinda is Big Red and I'm the boyfriend. And the luckiest guy in the Universe!

     

     

     

     

    Belinda Carlisle was the headline act at this year's Hinterland music festival in Iowa.  They had it the same weekend as Lollapalooza so that's why she wasn't playing Lolla this year.

  3. I don't think the Big 12 is going to let their Grant of Rights expire.  I fully expect to see them extend them sometime in the next couple of offseasons.  If they don't, then you know for almost absolute certainty that the league is breaking up and schools not named Texas, Oklahoma, and probably Kansas would do anything in their power to prevent that from happening.

    Could very well mean an 0-10 season if that were to happen. I agree that the payday would seem to be a stroke of good fortune for them but who knows if they can stay afloat that long.

     

    Yeah but it's 0-11 though because B-C is a replacement for Akron.  So technically, it would only be one game lost due to cancellation.

    I grew up 20 min outside of Chicago and everyone used Sirius during the Bulls' glory.  I also hate the Bulls so I tend to not like the song.  I would rather listen to hooked on classics by the royal Philharmonic.  I also think the the fight scene music from Conan would be cool.  

     

    Yep.  Everybody used it.  It was cliche and cringe-worthy when the HuskerVision crew decided to use it for their tunnel walk montage in 94 when they installed the Diamond Vision screens in Memorial.  A few years later when K State finally got their Jumbotron screen they also used Sirius for their "tunnel walk".  But to say that it is somehow unique or traditional at NU misses the mark, IMO.

     

    If we hadn't won the National title that year I would imagine we'd have a different tunnel walk song now.

     

    And as far as I am concerned they could just have nothing playing when they show the players walk through the tunnel and the fans would still get just as fired up.  To me it wouldn't matter one bit.  Maybe do the Husker Power chant while the boys are walking to the field.

    Maybe just a money move?  Not sure either.

    But a lot of times these coaches get out while the getting out is good.  I mean he probably got a longer deal and more cash...might as well take that lotto ticket when you can.

     

    He was making $275k per year at USD, and there isn't any news of what he's going to get paid at USU, but his predecessor there was making around $375k, so a pretty nice bump in pay for sure.

     

    But it is most definitely a step up in prestige - in the Mountain West he'll be going up against the likes of UNLV, New Mexico, Nevada, Boise, Colorado State - and potentially Gonzaga in league play next year.  That's a significant increase in schedule strength over what he was facing week in and week out in the Summit League.  Plus, USU will be on national TV much more frequently than USD was.

     

    ...and the fan environment when it's rolling in Logan is among the best in the country:

  7. Looks like a bunch of fun to me!  People have ALWAYS talked about weather being a disadvantage for Nebraska but somehow we've always managed to overcome.  Funny how things seem to actually work as opposed to the way message board weirdos like to think things work.

    I realize Creighton isn't getting to the Final 4 this year and they play in a tough conference.  Their record will probably be at most 20-10 or maybe as low as 17-13 depending on injuries.  They have good athletes, good 3 point shooters and I think a man on the bench who can coach.  Nebraska flushed out 5 players last spring and brought in 6 new kids.  If they improve and get better shooting they maybe could sneak into the NCAA as a 15 or 16 seed.  Outside of MSU and probably Purdue the BIG 10 is really down so who knows.  I see a team that is inching their way up and to me they are fun to watch.

     

    No way a Big Ten team is ever getting a seed that low, it's just not possible.  Those seeds are reserved exclusively for the MEAC and American East conference champion type teams.  The lowest seed you'll ever see an at large team from a power conference get in general is about 11 or 12.

    I read a post from a UCF fan claiming that Nebraska has 4 months of 6-degree weather or colder :lol:   Most of these southern people have no f'ing clue what they're talking about

     

    They were probably talking about 6 degrees Celsius (about 45 F).  In which case they are just about spot on.

     

    (also, they probably did that on purpose to make it sound colder than it is)
