  1. If you're having the "page not found" issue described below, make sure to clear your browser cache.

      If you're having the "page not found" error, then you're not going to be able to see this message.

      Not necessarily -- the issue is if you tried to visit huskerboard.com during the downtime, it might been cached. Later, when the site came back, specific URLs to the forum (i.e, including index.php...) would've worked, but clicking on the home logo would've sent you back to the "Page not found" page.

       

      That was how it was for me when we first got back online, anyway, and was resolved by a cache clear.

      We actually still have a Confederations Cup playoff? After all this?

       

      Well, that *is* good news.

      I think the backlash will be much ado about nothing really. We played well against Jamaica, somehow lost, and had no motivation to play against Panama. Happens.

  4. Earth is *so* yesterday. I'm off to Kepler 452B! How much change of clothing should I pack?

      Well its 1,400 light-years away, so pack lots of deodorant

      I thought Kepler 452b was a clothing optional planet. When in Rome...

      I would bring two changes of BVDs, a guitar, an address book, a pair of socks, four Masked Marvel comic books, a tennis racket, and 497 1/2 feet of rope. But that's just me.

  5. Thrilling first half in Georgia so far. Jamaica getting a 2-0 jump on the USA.

      I start to worry when the basics can't even be accomplished by these players. Players couldn't even trap the ball from a pass directly to their feet, then giving up the ball. Drove me nuts watching the game and Bedoya trying to trap the ball wide open and it going 10 feet from his body giving it up.

      Kudos to Jamaica though, that free kick was beautiful. The throw in goal was just piss poor goal keeping and marking.

      Yeah, throughout this whole tournament there was just a little bit of energy missing in the US team's play. Except for Cuba, every other game it felt like the other team was bringing intensity that the US wasn't really matching. I was hoping as it went on the US would just kick into form...but they didn't, and finally got punished for it.

  6. GOOOOOOAL! Dempsey is a joy to watch.

      That'll teach Cuba to bring their national team to US soil. Lose 6-0 us and have four players (so far) defect.

  7. Gold Cup quarters tomorrow (Saturday). Go Team USA!

  8. HAPPY B-DAY, LOMS!

  9. Wow, very class. Fans throwing trash at Trinidad and Tobago player as he attempts a corner. http://screamer.deadspin.com/trinidad-and-tobago-tie-mexico-with-last-second-corner-1718139507

    1. ZRod

      ZRod

      I'm sorry, but mexican fans and players are just plain dirty and worthless. I know it's not necessarily a one to one correlation, but you don't have to wonder why we think so little of the country with stuff like that.

      Fantastic that T&T still scored on the play.

  10. USA-Panama about to tee off in the Gold Cup. Let's go Das Jurgen Machine!

      btw, if anyone else is watching, the Gold Cup intro sequence feels like it should be the intro theme of "The Americans." How odd.

  11. U.S.A. ! U.S.A ! U.S.A !

      And Gonzalo Jara is banned for the remainder of the Copa, for fingering Cavani in the butthole

      On the fence with this guy still as a DC, but damn, they are not afraid to take every/any avenue they can to be better coaches and revive a lot of tradition.

      Heard this and a few other bits from Banker on the radio today. I really like this guy.

  18. It's not been a good year for Brazilian soccer. Ouch! Women's team knocked out of the Round of 16 by Australia today.

      Personally, I've thoroughly enjoyed watching Brazil crash and burn. Especially the men's debacle last summer against Germany.

      That was the most fun I've ever had watching a soccer game.

      Oh, it sounds like he somehow missed getting banned for the Gold Cup. That's odd -- it seemed that by the letter (ripping up ref property), a 3-month ban was mandatory?

       

      Today I also learned that MLS is the only major US sports league that doesn't have its initials.com as a URL. Come on. How can U.S. Soccer get ahead in this world if they can't buy out MLS.com?

  20. I can't believe this, but I'm kinda rooting for Lebron and the Cavs.

      It would be *his* championship if they can pull it off.

      Yeah, I think that's mainly the appeal. It would be legendary.

      Sort of doing the same. It's knowing the odds are so long; two starters out, lack of depth, etc. The "underdog" syndrome, I suppose...

  21. Does anyone have Fox Soccer 2 Go for the Women's World Cup? How is it?

  22. Wow. This 49ers exodus is really something.

  23. It's going to be interesting to see final offer lists for a lot of these early guys. Our recruiting template will only show other offers at time of NU offer.

      Why not change the template so that offers after Nebraska's are a different font or color?

    3. zoogs

      zoogs

      I don't really keep up with the recruiting stuff, so that's not up to me -- but I guess it makes it so they don't have to edit the profiles all the time with each new offer.

       

      Sounds like a decent idea for at least the commits. You can just put in "additional final offers" as a separate category, or another color as you said.

    4. zoogs

      zoogs

      You can suggest that in the recruiting forum :)

       

      Yeah, I think mainly, some of these guys have either no other P5 offers or only very minor ones. I wonder if a lot of them won't have at least another major P5 school or two jumping in before Feb.

  24. Women's World Cup only a week away! How do we look?

      Before the FIFA indictments, I'd say the USA had a very strong chance to win. After Blatter's comments though...I wouldn't be shocked if the officials come out and red card the entire damn team out of spite.

      Women's world cup? Is that like two girls one cup?
