Virginia Tech was #3 for a while, too, but theirs ended I think in Beamer's last season.

We just need to convert all the benches to stadium seats, knock 10k of capacity, and we'll be good for a while

@Red Five Or just widen the bench spaces (fewer people per bench). They're kinda cramped.

These guys aren't bad 

I like their TE, he's pretty good himself.

NU will need to try and establish a run game against Ohio State or Lee might end up getting killed.  

@RedSavage those studies, IIRC, were only for K-3, and didn't really consider 4-6 grades. And frankly, once kids get to third grade, you should be giving them some homework--partially to reinforce learning in the classroom, but more as an exercise of responsibility to get the kids ready for higher grades and the work necessary to succeed.  

I mean, I don't remember how much homework I ever had over the weekends in elementary school. That tells me it probably wasn't much. However, it's school. My parents would have never sent that kind of note to a teacher. Honestly, since when is this OK?

Fair points and I agree, if it's a light amount of homework I don't see the problem with that.  I also agree about prepping kids and teaching them responsibility they'll need going forward.  I just think when they're too young, there really is no benefit of homework.  This is what I was referring to:  http://columbusnewsteam.com/local-news/nps-elementary-students-reap-benefits-of-no-homework-policy/

cancelled over here by Des Moines, several highways listed as impassible in the area. As much salt etc as we lay down its impressive the roads remain crap 

Some Omaha highways still had snow in lanes as of this morning and our neighborhood (despite being plowed) has an inch or two of packed down snow on it.

My favorite thing so far is downtown: they cleared the crosswalks on the street CORNERS, but not the actual streets. So, everyone basically has to walk into oncoming traffic to cross the street.

Enhance and the 4ft piles in the middle of roads in mid town was a nice touch as well. 

Again, I don't root for conferences, I root for my team.  I won't say anymore about this, as it's not the popular opinion around here.

I didn’t ask this to throw you under the bus ColoradoHusk, I asked to see if I was the one that has an unrealistic perspective here. I’m probably in the minority in rooting for our conference. Others might root for the teams in the B1G but have nothing to do with thr B1G as s conference. I apologize if you felt dismissed in any way. That was not my intention. I consider you a strong and very credible voice on our board. I would hate to lose the opportunity to discuss football with you. 

@ladyhawke I don’t feel dismissed. I just think it’s a fruitless conversation.  I’m not mad or upset, this is message board that I post on to kill time.  I just think the whole idea rooting for the conference is silly. I think it’s dumb when SEC schools chant for SEC, SEC, SEC. I don’t want NU’s opponents to do well in bowl games and have good seasons, because that could lead to better recruits for them, and make it tougher for NU to beat them down the road. When it comes to it, I’m a Nebraska fan first.  I care the most about NU victories and the easiest path to those wins. 

Did Petrino have another motorcycle accident?

Sounds almost as fun as watching people play video games professionally

Hanging right next to our B1G conference champ banners

I meant being an elected official you nincompoop!

1a) We have a more experience QB running the offense

1aa) Ferentz flipping sh*t

Yup, @Savage Husker has it. Will give Ferentz a new thing to complain about ala Tanner Lee situation, although he should've been happy about that in the end, no?

Does someone have any examples of something like this being accepted?

Football? No. Volleyball, yes. 

Haha.  That’s hilarious.   Dude might want to consider another profession if that is where he draws the line of appropriate.  

It's just a Philly thing. Philly fans are trash and it turns their players into trash 

Never in 10 years - must be his first time on the opponents sideline?

On episode 2, I'm conflicted about the QB. I get what he did was bad, but I'm also of the opinion that it should not kill his entire future. Def should not hit women, def should have walked away, but it definitely looked like she threw the first punch.

mit wagnuhhhh

I agree about the QB and how that one thing is just ruining him. I also agree that the coach is an a-hole.

Oh that's terrible news....said no one.

I'm sad......

If BTN picks him up I vote we join the MAC

Spoiler alert: he will ruin it for you. 

Cdog beat me to it.

i will be watching wrestling as usual.

Just got mine as well... I have been attending off/on since 1985.  I hope we have a great year

No it didn't get rescheduled and UCF added Austin Peay later in the year I'm pretty sure.

Yes, you're right. They didn't play that game.  Sorry about that!

I don't think so, I don't think the powers at be would ever let a non-power 5 team in. 

Congratulations! Daughters are such a joy!  

Sleep when you can, invest in lots and lots of patience, remember.....you will be her pattern for the husband she picks one day.

Congrats!

A part of me will always be an angry vegetable. I think that will always shine through in my posts.

You'll always be an angry artichoke to me.

That truly means a lot to me

I think that is all new starters now on the line.

@teachercd yup, though two of the kids have playing experience, so they're not exactly green. 

Still, it seems to be somewhat of a mismanaged situation in Wisky with their line. I mean...that's their bread and butter there. That's a large gaffe that I wouldn't expect from Wisky.

@VectorVictor, why is that a gaffe? They played the best player at each position and now a bunch of them are moving on. Didn't the 1995 NU starting line have like 4 or 5 new starters?

First, don't be in a tent. If that's unavoidable, just find a pool of water and sit in it all day.

I'd suggest going into Hill City or Rapid City And going to a brewery..

Shade & water.

Thank you! I was shocked!  I heard them say STFU!!  I couldn’t believe their coach led them in that cheer!!!

I thought I was going crazy! I thought for sure Twitter would have a field day with that but I couldn't find a thing on it.

I looked for it too but nothing. 

If Bo had a mullet, we would have won.

I saw that and had to laugh out loud. A bad memory.

The right call tough... 

Looking to become NCAA eligible next season due to the hardship of wanted to live closer to a sick family member, his grandfather.

They are far from being a super competitive team but they were INCREDIBLY young if I remember right. Add in two possibly dynamic transfers and a very solid top portion of the recruiting class. Could be building something a bit more competitive.

As someone said in the recruiting forum (paraphrasing), "Illinois' next coach is going to have some nice pieces to work with"

Iowa St??

Iowa Offensive Tackle

I interpreted OT as over time, not offensive tackle - 

MORE BOURBON

What are these newspapers you speak of? Is it like twitter or instagram pages?

Yes exactly! Except you have to wait for it to load on your door step for 24 hours. You also can't respond to any of it and it may be outdated when you get it. 

Which one has the better crossword puzzles?

He would’ve been great depth for Tim’s team and would’ve started over Tanner B. When Copeland went down with that horrific injury. 

What you are watching is what the Big East is...an afterthought

Barry's gameday atmosphere might be the best in Lincoln.

Great play! And I'm digging the U of N throwback jerseys.
