  1. Would Alex Gordon have the same legacy and career had he not been a Royal?

      He did crush AA. I think the Royals might have moved him up too fast, but it all worked out in the end. 2011-2016 was a fun time.

      @krc1995 the Royals probably did move Gordon up to the majors too quickly, but they were also hurting for attendance during that time, and knew that Gordon being up in KC would bring droves of fans from Nebraska to go to games.

       

      As a Royals fan, I am very happy with the way his career turned out, and how he was a big component to their World Series teams in 2014 and 2015, especially the World Championship in 15.

      Scherzer vs. Gordon 2005 ish. Missouri 1-0. Gordon only guy to get a decent bat on it. 

  2. ;)so still 7 wins this year? 

  3. Advice on feeding a 13 year old boy. I may have to give him up. An entire Costco box Of 17 hot pockets in a week. That’s in addition to his normal ration of 5 meals a day.

      My 13 yr old went through a half dozen eggs and a pound of bacon last night.  He makes it himself so I'm not complaining to much.  My wife has to hide her salmon that she buys cause he will eat all of it if she doesn't.

      Damn, all those Hot Pockets! You must be going through toilet paper at the same rate!

      Ha ha!  Been there done that.  At 13 I could eat a ton of food and stay the same weight.  If I ate 17 hot pocket in a week now I'd gain ten pounds.  lol

        

  4. And meanwhile it’s been 45 days since the last Husker football game.

      Just notice there was a thread created about this. I guess I can’t delete this.

      No worries - I'll leave a link to the thread HERE.

       

      I think it's OK to have status updates like this even there's a thread. We generally let that kind of thing slide since the status updates move along pretty quickly and this story will be of high interest :) .

  7. Any educated guesses about the start time for the Michigan State game? Trying to pre-plan my planning

      If I were you I would fly up just to hang out in bars like teach. I will never understand coming to Lincoln on game days just to hang out in bars when you are an adult with a job. Go to the freaking games if you are coming to Lincoln, or just stay near your home.  

    3. krc1995

      We're going to the game.  I'm thinking of giving our 12 year old his ticket and telling him to meet us at the seats 40 minutes before kickoff.  A right of passage.

       

      I'm really not going to do that.

      Ha, he'd probably find a tailgate and show up late and drunk. Oh wait, that was me.:lol:

  8. Anyone doing the Amazon deal day thing today?  I don’t really understand how it works. I just keep checking for deals on an hourly basis or what? I am a prime member

      No deals for me, in fact, just canceled membership yesterday altogether.   We are trying to slim down both in material things, and financially (as we want to move out of state sometime this year)

      I wish I had the guts to cut it off. Didn’t buy anything

      I didn't buy anything this year, either. Like 95% is basically just AliExpress with faster shipping.

  9. Anyone regret cutting the cord for cable/satellite?  I know there’s been threads on here with this discussion but I can’t seem to find them. I’m pretty nervous about it

      I don't miss it at all.  I subscribe to Netflix and Amazon Prime year round, and Vue during football season.  I usually run my Vue subscription for about five months then cancel as soon as football season is over. The five month Vue subscription is probably close to one month of a cable subscription. 

    3. CheeseHusker

      I have no regrets. The one thing is I've gone back and forth between DirectTV Now and PS Vue a couple of times; DTV has the better channel package but the service is much worse (buffering).

      I have three Rokus and I run PS Vue, Netflix and Hulu on all of them. I have the middle package with PS Vue and I'm getting BTN, a few ESPNS, the Golf Channel and three of four networks (no FOX atm due to a dispute).

       

      I was very apprehensive about doing it because of the sports angle, but it has turned out to be better than I ever thought it would be.

       

      Not being locked into a contract and being able to switch on / switch off is a godsend.

      I called today and played the "cancel" game with them...they got me down to 52.99 a month

  10. Anyone see a pack of drones out their windows this week? Some weird stuff going in the York area. 

  11. Bring back the funny Chris Rock! This new, skinny, botoxed, hateful man is not a funny man.

      No Sex in the Champagne Room is still one of the greatest comedic tracks ever. “If someone steps on your sneakers - let it slide, it’s not worth going to jail over someone smudging your puma.” Reminds me of riding the jam packed subway to the Bronx for a Yankees game and this young punk started tripping after a dude stepped on his kicks.

      I don't watch too much of any of these guys but while we're mentioning Chappelle, Black Bush always gets me. Hilarious, but also cutting and profound. 

       

      Do you know what the *bleep* you can do with an aluminum tube? ALUMINUM!

      Anyone remember Rock's HBO talk show?  I used to watch that all the time.

  12. Can’t believe we’re already making reservations for a ski trip over next Mardi Gras. So much for living in the moment

      Actually never been so I should reserve judgement. Noticeable cheaper then our usual

      so I’m assuming it’s not as nice. I just can’t believe that I’ve come to place in my life where I make plans for March the May before. Adulting is sad

      Where is your usual?  And where are you staying at Steamboat?  Steamboat is expensive from my experiences.  Not Vail expensive but it's not like you're going to Loveland or Granby or something.

    4. krc1995

      Lol. We usually go to Vail/Beaver Creek-for the last six years skipped 2 in there. Can’t remember the name of the place we’re staying at, but it has West in it. 

  13. Daydreaming about making the football playoffs and then having the rules change to home field advantage rather than a neutral site. Wouldn’t a late December game with LSU in Lincoln be wild. 

  14. Do real baseball players celebrate pennants with beer goggles  on?

     

  15. For all you hunters out there- do you ask farmers if you can hunt their land? I've been asked by a neigherbor, and I really don't care, but does the landowner have any liability?

      Short answer: you owe certain duties to invitees/licensees who enter your land - so, yes, you can be found liable if you breach those duties.    

    3. The Dude

      The Dude

      I guess you technically could be held liable, but in Nebraska it wouldn't be likely.  They like to encourage landowners to give permission.  I reckon the exact statutes could be looked up fairly easily.

       

      Never a bad idea to do what you got to do to cover yourself, though.

    4. Cornhole

      ^ This is correct.  Have your attorney look at Neb. Rev. Stat. 37-372 and Bronsen v. Dawes County, 272 Neb. 320 (2006) for the specifics.  

  16. God, yesterday was awesome. It’s going to be hard going back south this week. Any school districts need a school psych? I might just stay

      Still trying to figure out some basic stuff like how will I wash my hair. 

    3. Scarlet Overkill

      Scarlet Overkill

      Or wipe.  Just sayin'.

    4. ladyhawke

      ladyhawke

      If you're married have your wife wash your hair over the kitchen sink. You could also take a cab or have a friend drive you to a hair salon. You might want to cut your hair shorter until you get to the point where you can shower again. 

        Also, invest in a roll of press 'n seal wrap to cover your bandages so they don't get wet.

        I was also going to tell you to make sure you stay in the sling during your waking hours. I slept with it on the first week just so I wouldn't accidentally hurt myself.  Mine had a little loop on it for my thumb so I wouldn't accidentally reach forward.  

      Dilly Dilly-Tell me about it!  :(

  18. Happy triple crown day. Can’t believe I was the first to mention. There will be another soon as they come in groups of three

  19. Has anyone tried any of the Mind Pump fitness programs? They have a podcast I enjoy and then sell MAPS (workouts). They’re all lift  programs. 

  20. Help a Cajun out. What are the necessities of dress for Friday’s game?

      Base layer: warm clothing

      Next layer: Husker gear - red, not black

      Outer layer: Hawkeye layer just to walk around the tail gating to get free food and drink.  Then remove this layer and burn it before entering stadium

      Tuesday I attended the C2 High School championship game and wore a wicking tee as a base layer then a cotton tee over that and a long sleeve shirt over that.  Next was a light weight polyester jacket with fiber fill and a medium weight water resistant jacket with a hood over the top.  I had jeans and bib insulated coveralls over my legs.  a neck warmer and a stocking cap on my head and kept very warm.

  24. I don't want this day to end!  Let's play another game right now!

  25. I normally don't care much for Nick Bahe, but today's segment with Ryan Leaf was pretty dang uplifting.  Give it a listen if you need to remember what life is really all about.
