A comment in the status updates got me thinking about how to sync the Husker homer radio broadcasts to TV coverage. I have never attempted this so looking for some tips since the TV broadcast teams are so often annoying.

 

1- Where is the best place to get the radio broadcast online?

2- If the TV is ahead of the radio, I'm sure I can rewind a bit and let the DVR handle it but if the radio is ahead (which I would suspect is usually the case) then how do you get things in sync?

From my experience the radio is always ahead of the television

I don't disagree with your overall point, but the example you're using isn't cut and dried, where as the examples people are talking about above are. The FSU guy clearly fumbled before the goal line, the PSU guy was clearly out of bounds. With the MSU example, the rule talks about being forced out of bounds, and it looks to me like the MSU defender touches him. Even watching the replay 10 times it's still muddy. We aren't talking about muddy calls here, we're talking about clear ones.

 

We also aren't talking about MSU losing a national championship due to the call.

Fair enough,  the FSU, PSU calls were obvious, no doubt.  Did those calls affect the game ? Of course they did.  Would Nebraska have won the title in 93 if that call was made ? Most likely they would have,  but the ref didn't make the call and everyone freaked (me included) .  One could also argue that the game wasn't lost at that point,  it was lost when Bennet missed the 42 yarder at the end. So to say that we lost a natty because of a non-call by the officials doesn't make sense to me.  The win was there for the taking  if that ball sails through the uprights like we all wanted it to.   If that happens nobody cares about the FSU fumble before the goaline that wasn't called.  The PSU call is one of the worst I've seen, but I didn't even watch football then.

I think what seperates 93 from all the other teams in this poll is the 93 team was in the national championship game and the refs stole the game from them. I think all the other teams have things you have to justify or explain or debate. Does the 93 team have anything to defend other than getting screwed by the refs? 

 

I've never liked blaming the refs for the outcome of games.  Were there some bad calls ?, yes there were some bad calls that might of changed what happened,  there have been plenty over the years.  Some have gone our way some havent,  remember the NU-MSU game where our receiver went out of bounds, came back in and caught the touchdown pass from Armstrong ? Personally I thought that was the wrong call. Hate to say it, but he didn't look forced out to me.  Bad calls, or non-calls are just part of this game,  in the end though the plays have to be made on both sides of the ball to come out on top.  GBR.

Two teams that are way better than they are remembered. However, there is just no way a team that loses 19-0 can win this contest.

That game was brutal.  I watched this one at a bar in Seaside Oregon surrounded by duck fans, ( They were enjoying it ),  first time I'd seen my Skers get shutout.

I think it would be great.  Although I've heard some talk of a four-pod system, whatever that is.  

 

Anyway, would you like to have your old rivalry with OU every black Friday?  As a kid growing up in Ohio, I always looked forward to those matchups.  Every day after Thanksgiving it was time to get around the TV and what you boys slug it out for the Big-8 title.  Ah, the good old days!  

 

I'm inclined to believe that getting both OU and Texas into the B1G would help your recruiting efforts.  

 

Your thoughts?

I would have no issue with OU joining the conference,  it would be sweet to play them regularly again.  But Texas ?, absolutely not,   I've said this in another thread,  they are an INVASIVE SPECIES,  keep them out of our pond.

Maybe I have lived in Colorado for too long, but this drug paraphernalia citation is very minor.  Isn't it just a fine?

I think it is just a fine.  But given his other legal issues pending I think frost might feel pressured to cut him loose.  

5 minutes ago, ColoradoHusk said:

Why are people so quick to think that Mo will be kicked off the team?  I am not saying he won't be, but it's a relatively minor citation.  Yes, it's on top of his current legal situation, and not a smart look for Mo, but do we know if Frost has a hard stance against pot?

I Don't know what stance frost has on weed,  but he might see it as a bad look for the program if he keeps him around.

kickapoo in Springfield.  He’s a sophomore so I’m assuming he graduated in 2016

JB from Tenacious D was from Kickapoo

So did these 4 get life in prison yet?

 

What about the pizza thief, has he been given the chair?

All four received 10 year sentences,  eligible for parole in 7.  Pizza guy jumped bail and disappeared.

Don't want to be nit-piking, but I saw a lot of center snaps go very high.  The QB's were lucky to jump up and grab the snaps but in crucial games a center snap over the QB's head could be a game changer.  

 

I counted six.  Gotta clean that up for sure.

Careful what you wish for... ‘member last year vs sCUm?

Yeah,  nothing like that I hope.  More something in the 42-10 by the end of the third type scenario.

We probably won’t know where McCaffrey is on the depth chart this year. Although if we have some blowouts and he goes in after Martinez every time up to 4 games, that might be telling. I’m guessing it’ll mostly be Vedral though. 

Im hoping we see Vedral or McCaffery late in the Colorado game.

If you want a version that's flexible on timing, I've had good success using this sous vide one:

https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/can-t-f-it-up-eggs-benedict

 

You can leave the hollandaise in the sous vide bath for anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, just blend it whenever you're ready, and pour straight from the blender.

Precision control of temperature,   I like it.

Not sure how it would work in a restaurant, but try this at home. It's (almost) foolproof.

 

2-Minute Hollandaise Sauce

My version uses a double boiler and whisk,  started off with a white wine and shallot reduction.   It takes longer than two minutes though.

I was a server there in college and although I never saw them make it, I'm pretty sure it's real.  Amazing sunday brunch.

Hollandaise is really sensitive,  if it was real I'd be surprised if it was in a steam table.

Was the hollandaise sauce real or powdered ?
