  1. Wasn't he the guy the won 4 more games in 3 seasons than our current coach has been able to win achieve in 4 seasons?
  2. I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully, we will be strong enough where it won't make a difference. I wonder if HCSF will suggest he not do that in the future.
  3. I'm guess they still have to mow the 95% that is natural grass. Maybe the Irish just aren't as lazy and we are.
  4. They will be leaving Omaha Monday evening on an Aer Lingus direct charter flight. The flight is about 8 hours plus the 6 hour time difference which should put them arriving in Dublin about 10 am Tuesday. They plan on returning immediately after the game hoping to leave by midnight which should put them back in Omaha somewhere around 2 am Sunday morning.
  5. If the forecast holds up it looks like it will be a nice evening for football.
  6. Win big next Saturday and they will get snatched up quickly.
  7. 3 miles outside a city of about 100k in the desert southwest. We don't have cable or fiber (satellite for TV only) so it is Century Link DSL (massively overloaded), T-Mobile home internet or rooftop microwave receiver. Actually I can get good speeds during the day up to about 20 Mbps or so. But things go down hill in the evening with speeds of 3-8 Mbps so streaming anything but 480i can lead to buffering issues. And the evening is about the only time I watch TV. I tried T-Moble Home Internet but it was almost identical to what I currently have but a little more expensive. Verizon 4G speeds are good here but they don't offer Home Internet in this area. Starlink is over capacity in the area so they are out until at least 2023 at best and even then $700+ up front and $119/mo. for 50-100 Mbps doesn't seen like a very good value. Xfinity is suppose to be bringing fiber out here but I first heard about that last year and nothing has been done so I'm not holding my breath. They would have to cross BLM land which can take years to approved. Actually there are still 10's of millions of people in this country without high speed access. There is supposedly money in the recently passed IRA for high speed but actually getting it built out is another matter. It seems like money flows into the ISP's never to be seen again and with very little infrastructure actually installed. My guess is Xfinity will halt any plans they have while they get in line for some free gov't. money. This is all parallels the roll out of electricity in the early 1900's. Most people were hooked up in a timely manner but it was several decades before everybody finally was hooked up.
  8. I'm not thrilled about any games going to streaming services since it locks out those of us without high speed internet access.
  9. Looks like it could have been but I think one of the bye weeks is a lock now that fall camp is over.
  10. Or Purdue maybe. I wonder if they will play it by ear depending on how the season is going.
  11. Kind of sucks for those of us without high speed internet access making streaming impossible but like you say it isn't very many games and I doubt they will try to put the marquee matchups like OSU/Mich on a pay service.
  12. It looks to me that this ranking is based on sheer number of fans so it isn't surprising to me that NE with a relatively tiny population base wouldn't have the raw number of fans. Now fan intensity is another matter.
  13. Wow. 5.1M views. Looks like SOS hit it out of the park with their NIL investment. Betting the ROI will be over the moon.
  14. Nebraska football’s final scores in 2021 didn‘t tell the whole story, and the ‘close’ narrative undersells the revamping that began last November. The 2021 Nebraska football team was not “close.” They were nowhere close to contending in a mediocre division, nor were they even that close to a bowl game. Yes, you can look at the individual games and see that eight of the nine losses were by 8 points or less. But let’s broaden our scope to the big picture. In the big picture, the 2021 Huskers were not “close” to anything positive. ..... Dave Feit: The Fallacy of ‘Close’
  15. Surface Perennial Ryegrass Good to have options though.
  16. Forget there was a scrimmage today. Sweet catch by Fr. Janiran Bonner and a nice throw too. I don't think I ever noticed the outdoor practice field is natural grass which is interesting since the stadium is Field Turf.
  17. That's about what I pay for Dish but way more content. Hope someday to be able to take advantage of it.
  18. I took it as it being a fairly serious injury since he referred it to HCSF who seems to control all the injury reports himself. Callahan mentioned in his podcast Crawford was hurt in the Saturday scrimmage. MJ sounded more frustrated about Manning missing practices.
  19. Yeah, but without access to high speed internet service streaming anything really isn't an option for me.
  20. Hope so. Without access to broadband internet streaming it hit or miss for me depending on the time of day.
  21. I hoping that this doesn't become a common practice. I've become accustomed watching all the games on the networks or B1G Network. Haven't had to listen to a game on the radio/internet in decades but I grew up listening to them all so I guess it won't kill me.
