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. 

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

I'll take Bama vs. Florida St.

Oregon will be #2 unless they slip up, they have a much tougher schedule than FSU's

Also, it's laughable to think that KSU is #2 in the nation. They aren't even top 5

Oh Ewwww!  I can't stand Colin Cowherd.  You're being nice calling him by his proper name!  I have another name in mind but will not voice it.  I remember he ripped Nebraska on air for being an 'option' football team.  He said it had no place in college football anymore and that the NFL certainly didn't use it.   I haven't listened to him since.

Ok, after listening to it I think the topic is pretty interesting so I don't agree with the caller that it's much ado about nothing especially given that Nebraska isn't going to a bowl game so you need some topics to fill the airwaves.  Now, I do think Bahe seemed to get defensive really quickly and came across really thin skinned.  Bahe seemed to take personal offense that the caller disagreed with his take which is really stupid for a sports talk radio to do.  The caller didn't personally attack Bahe or anything but it just reaffirms my opinion of Bahe's show which is there are better ways to spend my day than listening to his show.

Xmas32-I agree with your perspective 100%.  Good grief!  Bahe is supposed to be a professional!  You get all kinds when you open your program up to the general public to comment.  We've all talked about whether Scott should coach the Peach Bowl or not but no one got nasty about it!  Thanks for your perspective!

Bottles are always better!

A for effort but 

Glass ones that is.

anal warts flare-up

There is no lie. If you schedule during Husker Football, then f#*k you.

nope, got to lie. I might be able to work with the anal warts idea

Get him a tie. Kids LOVE ties.

air hockey table, football bean bag for watching his movies. aircraft carrier with jets and whatever 20 things my parents decide to buy

get him a 20 year old brazilian maid. Kids love em

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

Yeah the link you posted looks like fake news (If that's what you meant.). What I posted is from Husker Board Rumor Board so take it with a grain of salt.  Mr. Del Conte sounds like a promising candidate but I'm sure there are others out there that are just as qualifies. I want the search committee to take their time. 

It's official. Del Conte is NOT. A candidate. http://www.omaha.com/huskers/blogs/tcu-athletic-director-chris-del-conte-says-he-isn-t/article_12e1feea-ac73-11e7-b46e-2f49683fc11c.html

Disregard the post above. 

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!

Chappelle's the man.

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

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.  

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.

"Over Dwayne Bowe" is still the GOAT fantasy sport name.

Haha B.B.  

Xmas32, might have a winner 

Just saw Knapp’s and Nuances. 

Yeah, so I'm wondering why it was OK that they reflipped it. Interesting.

Also interesting: they didn't let Rodgers make a new call for the coin with the new flip. The first time, the ref started the coin from H. The second time, he started it from T. Rodgers wanted to switch his call. But then we might've missed that epic ending.

Well by definition, if the coin doesn't flip it's not a coin flip.

But it *was* still a toss!

Oh good! I was hoping you would respond  Mavric.  I can provide links but I know only what I read online. Thanks!

Yeah, I don't really know a whole lot more than what I found on their web site.  I know about the difference between the ticket price and the donation because I'm a season ticket holder.  And I vaguely knew about some of what the Foundation did.  But I just got the rest of that out of their Annual report. 

It is pretty interesting that it would seem like most of it does go to more of the academic side of the University - though "Campus and building improvements" probably goes toward a lot of athletic facilities.

is there flexibility in the spending- or does it have to dedicated to building, scholarships, and so on?  Just wondering where money for buyout of coaches salaries may come from but it also sounds like there are other foundation type companies out there too.  I'm sure there is a reason for this -transparency or non transparency maybe, or maybe because every time the university wants to do some spending they can do without getting taxpayer approval?  It sure is muddy out there and there sure is a lot of money floating around universities.  Looks like they could freeze the cost of tuition for awhile.  

Is the one at Costco the Kirkland brand or the Premier Protein?  Do you have to mix them?  Shakeology looks good but I want to get started today.  

I get Premier Protein. I don't honestly remember if Costco has their own (via Kirkland) brand or not, TBH.

Check Costco's website too, btw--you can search for the Premier Protein and see what they have there.

Also something called 18shake ?  That gets a lot interest advertising. 

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

Or wipe.  Just sayin'.

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!  

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.    

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.

^ 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.  

I will be rooting for them.

Stoney brook gear will sell like mad. Economically, I doubt anyone is worried.

I hope not...nice story, nice program, helluva season.

71% of the time, 84% of all statistics contain 96% worth of incorrect data and I'm 100% sure of that

I've eaten a lot of taffy today

I wrecked a few $100 dollar bills in my day. Not in the last 20 years though.

how should it have been scored? Guy had a Fancoeur like arm

I'd probably just go with a 9-2 out on the runner and a 1B for the batter. If it was a shallow, weak hit to RF, I suppose it could go as a FC for the batter. I'm no expert by any means.

I think the guidelines to use in determining these things is "ordinary effort" and the "ordinary ability" of the players in the league you are scoring. It is a subjective determination of the official scorer.

As for Scotch, it's hard to go wrong with Macallan 12 for around $50-60, if you can find it that cheap locally. A good rum or brandy would be another option, but I know less about them.

@Ebyl, You like Tullamore Dew (Irish whiskey)? I was into it for a while. I prefer Jamesons now though.

I'm fine with any of the well known, baseline Irish whiskeys, but only to mix. I won't drink base Jameson, Tullamore Dew, Bushmills, etc straight. I usually keep Jameson around, though, above the others.

I think it also has to do with his sexual misconduct settlement and his response to it 

No, I'm talking about the instances of people tearing his head off specifically because of the flag.  Nothing to do with the conduct allegations.  There were many, many people that did so.  It was ridiculous.  So many idiots on Facebook.  But yeah, there were a lot of people going after him about the conduct thing too.

The flag thing sounds kind of dumb. I haven't followed the response but it seems like a microcosm of our poorly ordered priorities that a flag mishap fans attention and this dark splotch on his past is so freely brushed aside -- or worse, framed as an incident of bad press which he suffered and which now, as a triumphant Olympic athlete, he is overcoming.

Sometimes Too much info. Trying to figure the best metrics to compare pitching. So, so much analytics. I think I need to identity my top 3 pitching metrics. K’s obviously, maybe innings pitched? Velocity stability? Ground ball/fly out ratio? 

I prefer ERA vs. FIP/xFIP/SIERA, SwStr%, K% - BB%.

You can find all of those over on Fangraphs if you familiarize yourself with how to make a custom Leaders graph. They should have norms for how to interpret each of those stats on Fangraphs if you search for them. Obviously FIP/xFIP/SIERA are interpreted on the same scale as ERA.

Do you have a printed spreadsheet prepared for the draft?  If so, do you do it by position or do you just rank players in total? 

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.

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. 

He's insinuating that the blue-hairs will oust Pelini because he called them out.

damn right thats what i like to hear! thats the fire we have been missing in the ball coach!! love it!!!
