All this Ameer chatter about "what ifs/if" he played for TO made me wonder if TO had still been coaching would TO have offered Danny Woodhead a schollie and if so, how he'd now be perceived in husker lore.

Danny would have been great at Nebraska. Over 20 NFL scouts at the pro day for him clocked him between 4.33 and I think 4.38 in the 40 while Ameer ran 4.6 in the NFL combine. There may be a case between electronic vs handheld timing, but Danny was a generational talent from western Nebraska and it's a damn shame he wasn't given a chance at UNL.

Can't help but think, 2020 will likely be my least favorite year ever!! Dad always said to "never wish your life away" but damn, this year can't pass quick enough!!!!

Gonna have to have a talk with my boy and my assistant manager. All I'm seeing for ads on huskerboard and even drudge today are models in Lingerie. (Not that I'm complaining but....)

Happy Voting Day to everyone.. Don't care who you vote for just hope you VOTE! Also, asking everyone to call their shot..
Not which candidate wins but:
1. Blow out for the winner
2. To close to call tonight
3. Split popular vote and electoral vote again
Personally, I think its both to close to call and a split thereby replicating 2016 results. Regardless, hoping everyone gets out and votes!!

I know everyone is upset with the decision by BA to cancel their game with us. Still, seeing the outbreak in Illinois now occuring I also think most of us are somewhat relieved that our boys won't be needlessly exposed.
Time to move on... Time to be thankful that are young men are safe... Time to focus on Northwestern and hopefully release some builtup frustrations. GBR!!!-
The cancellation by Wisconsin, while disappointing, made sense at the time, and I get the safety aspects of it. I am still disappointed the Big Ten didn't allow NU to schedule a make-up game. Now is the time to be agile and creative to create opportunities for teams to play football. The Big Ten is being the opposite of that.
-
I would need to see some/any proof that Illinois players acquired Covid due to playing Wisconsin before I think that is a valid concern.
I agree it is time to move on. However, I would like to remind everyone that Barry Alvarez was hugely involved, as the head of the B1G competition committee, in developing the s#!tshow rules that allow non red/red teams to choose to cancel games with no consequences. If anyone understood exactly how these rules could be gamed to a team’s advantage it was Barry. Not sure if it’s ironic or convenient that the Badgers just happened to be the first to employ this bulls#!t tactic.

Is there anyone here whom disagrees with the B1G's decision to cancel the tourneys? If so, how do you justify weighing the needs of the few over the needs of the many? IMHO, this was the right decision as is the uni's decision to close down the facilities to outsiders.

So, my cabinet was getting rather bare thereby forcing me to be creative for dinner/lunch. I made a hotdog chili and it was INCREDIBLE! Sadly, I didn't get to have seconds.. kids flippin inhaled it. Who knew?

So, with exclusion of sports, theaters and bars closed, parks closed and my Rosie's becoming more dried out and chapped by the day I'm beginning to fully understand Dr. Suess.
QuoteDr. Seuss Golden Years Poem
I cannot see
I cannot pee
I cannot chew
I cannot screw
My memory shrinks
My hearing stinks
No sense of smell
I look like hell
My body’s drooping
Have trouble pooping
The Golden Years have come at last
The Golden Years can kiss my a$$

So.. I'm sure HB has posted this but in the fog of what 2020 has been and even now continues to be I feel it deserves another shout out. Both because we can all applaud him, his teammates and coaches as well as stop and give some thought into why he is now a scholly student. Well Done Damion and to you from us (the few, the proud, the marines).. Oorah!!!

Thought about creating a thread, instead if a Mod determines the topic discussion worthy they can start it. My comment regarding coming sporting events at dear O' NU is... who here thinks now would be a great time to address the sardine packaging of fans in Memorial Stadium. Might be time to well... add actual seats?

My in-laws own several businesses (one of which is a small café) and they've taken this as an opportunity to update all the interior design of their café since they're only doing takeout like everyone else at the moment.
As for actual "seats?" I doubt that will ever happen to a significant degree. Not only would it be incredibly expensive but it would lead to a reduction in available seats, so less revenue.
-
to not take the topic of the thread off target..
(this one you know) - I like the young turks for their left leaning view
(I am certain this is new to you) - Israeli New Live for their faith based news.
(not sure you'll know this one) - I also like Adam Green's KnowMoreNews (I think you'd like him too)I don't respect Maddow any more than Hannity (both are hugely slanted mouth pieces) but I do like Tucker.
and... (shocker here), for my conservative side, I like Michael Savage. Have been a longtime subscriber to him.
I'm not a Trump guy nor am I a Bidden supporter. That said, had Bidden chose a moderate VP I'd have given him my vote. Currently I'm thinking Rand will receive my vote as both Trump and Bidden don't fit my pallet.
There's others but those are my favorites.
And you, whom do you listen too?

I follow several dozen small papers around the country. I feel like that gives me a better representation of the country as a whole rather than focusing on just the major outlets. So, papers like the Clarion Ledger, The Kenosha News, The Oregonian, stuff like that. Obviously the two local papers in Lincoln & Omaha. I also follow the local news stations in Lincoln & Omaha, and a few around the country, but not as much as the papers.
I also follow major outlets like ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and the NY Times, Washington Post, NPR, AP & Reuters, BBC North America, Salt Lake City Tribune, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Miami Herald, etc. I also follow several dozen reporters at most of these outlets, because sometimes they're quicker with the news than the overall publication.

And... whose ready for BASEBALL!!!
Season begins tonight.. 6:30 pm (cst)
Go Big Red!!!
-
Oops... it's one game and only the first series. Additionally, it's a very competitive team that is accustomed to playing high level competition. Teams from both the SEC and Big 12 to mention a few. A split in this series is in itself nothing to hang our heads on. I'm not going to say "oops" for one game of the seasons first series. Instead, I'll gladly and cheerfully support our young men and the staffs. Go Big Red!!

As a child I can remember how at the first sign of snow falling we'd run outside, stick out our tongues and dance with joy. As an old man now I run out the door, nearly wet myself from the cold, hold my fist up and stick my tongue out to say "screw you snow" and go back inside with my tail tucked between my legs. My how our lives change as we age.. What once was celebration now becomes dread. :'(

@ladyhawke Not for me! When I see the first frost/snowflakes I’m singing Hallelujah! Because all of the things I’m allergic to are DEAD and I can finally BREATHE! Ahhhhhh!
So, we can assume you'll never be a snow bird then?

Forum question... when you quote
totwo different people do you do it in the same post or post the first quote and reply then post the second quote and reply? (I posted the first and while I was responding a person posted and I posted a second..) Is that double posting and bad etiquette? -
Good for Frank Solich.. Most coaching victories ever in the MAC.. Good Luck Coach
-
Ha, so in my boredom I looked back at Solich's final season here. Funny how that team played 2 common opponents (Colorado & Michigan St.) and one other B1G 10 team (Penn State) off the 2023 schedule. Then the husker's went 3-0 against those 3, last year.. well, 0-2 but we all know Penn St would have owned us. My how times changed.
-
Hate to admit this but I think the whole of Husker nation is collectively holding their breath in waiting to see if Nebraska can earn the double-by at the B1G tourney. Bench is going to be huge in this game.. Wilcher, dude.. Hope you have your best game ever!!
-
@TonyStalloni As do I and everyone on Huskerboard. Was so relieved though when the score was out of reach for Michigan.
-
Hmm.. Didn't know this but Tyrus (former NWA Champ) was a graduate of Kearney State. I also learned he once said "upon graduating I left in a rush because I couldn't afford the gown". Who knew???
-
Huge Shout Out to ALL our NEW HUSKERS!!! (Recruits and Walkon's alike! Both are huge and greatly appreciated components of Husker Lore!!)
Thanks each of You and May your time here be filled with Many Awesome Memories, Shouts of Joy and a Lifetime of Gains!!
#GBR!!!

I absolutely, even as a Catholic, can't stand Creighton. Most snobbish, entitled, arrogant, indignant fan base in all of sports. Creighton sports disgust me to the core!!

I was talking to a certain Omaha Metro coach this weekend and he stated he hoped Nebraska could begin getting old. I didn't understand his statement and asked him to clarify. He pointed out in today's NIL, he thinks successful programs will target 3 star and project lineman (both sides of scrimmage) to avoid transferring and lower the NIL required costs. Thoughts? Never heard "getting old" on the lines before.

I think the coach was in the opinion that today's 4 & 5 star players believe they shouldn't have to wait and therefore if they aren't starting they'll transfer out. Could be wrong but I think he just felt it best to get old on the lines, recruit 3 star and project players. Kind of makes sense if the university is wanting to lower it's NIL costs I guess.

It's not the koolaid, I woke this morning to a vision of 38 - 34 and the huskers dancing on the sideline. It's happening, we win this one.
