My head hurts from reading just 2 threads in the football subgroup. My gosh, how can people find the time to post so much self opinion? Do we have hash out the entire play by play of what was a very disappointing season?

@The Dude ... now that is the perfect response.. to the point and funny both

So here I am, on my work computer like so many others on this board. I'm looking at the ads and what they're advertising. I have an Allied Power Ad a Westlake Ace add, a Seeds ad and then.... about 15 different womens clothing ads. Guess we know what sex abuses the internet at work more. (At least where I work.) lol

Just a question... I was surfing this morning for anything that was B1G related baseball. Youtube has several college posts from virtually every conference but the B1G (even the btn youtube channel has zero coverage of baseball).. This caused me to reflect on my enthusiasm in Nebraska athletics over the years and my conclusion is, since joining the B1G, I'm simply less interested. The B1G has created a platform that is costly to the fans and profitable for their investors. There's little (if any) concern for the communities. Zero concern for the fans and what compounds it even more is the total lack of inclusion of the fans resulting in my gradual decent of enthusiastic fandome. Curious if others here agree?

As for as BTN is concerned I'm probably a little opposite of your experience. Never have to worry about a football game not being aired and I get all the NU volleyball games I want. Of course I'm not a baseball fan and I can see where their coverage of that is lacking.
If anything has caused my interest to decline, it would be the football team's performance issues dating back 20 years. There's plenty I don't like about the B1G conference and/or BTN but considering our teams had comparitively very limited coverage before joining the B1G, I won't complain.
As far as baseball goes, the B1G is more of a northern league and baseball is more of a southern thing so I don't find them shortchanging coverage to be that surprising. But like I say, I don't really care about baseball.

Not the New Word of the Day but very fitting:
Now, let's all pretend that none of us have ever experienced even one of these traits/symtoms/signs... lol, Sadly, I experience at least one every hour..

Huge Shout Out to ALL our NEW HUSKERS!!! (Recruits and Walkon's alike! Both are huge and greatly appreciated components of Husker Lore!!)

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.

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.

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!!!
-
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!!!!

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$$

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....)

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.

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?
-
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.

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.
