  1. Oh, shoot. I've somehow managed to (irreversibly?) schedule my Win10 upgrade for next week.

      No, but Windows 10 is actually quite good, and they've got a significant update coming in a week to fix a lot of the known bugs.

      The free upgrade to W10 offer expires in July of 2016. I do want to upgrade! Just not right this second. Isn't it a hassle? Assume there's a lot of stuff I'd have to redo.

      No, wasn't a hassle, and took approx. 30 minutes for my desktop to update, and ~45 for my laptop.

      Anyone getting more okay with closing up the US and/or being a bit more selective?

      We already vet immigrants. If I had to guess who'd be the next radical to do something in the U.S., it'd be someone who was already here and heard Donald Trump one too many times.

      I would still allow the immigration of Christian immigrants. They are much easier to vet and would assimilate better to our culture.

  3. So ...that was not great goalkeeping.

      The ball trapping itself was friggin horrible, I trapped better than that in grade school pickup games. Our midfield is pretty bad if we can only count on Jones anymore.

      Cameron is good for one piss poor f up a game that leads to a shot. He definitely had a few last night and 1 did lead to a goal.

      I hope they go with some of these young guns from the start for the 3rd place match. Pulisic, Nagbe. There's a third place match, right?

      Never read Art of the deal i take it. Trumps a wiz. Knows exactky what hes doing. Ive been saying this for months. Start extreme. Garner support. Create leverage so that under a compromise he winds up governing moderately. Right where it should be. Notall this right and left extreme bs. Its common sense. Even for uneducated folk like me.

  13. GF visiting for one day on the 16th. Uh oh, did not even think about the timing at all. Should I wait for the game to be completely over and stay away from the internet until the ESPN3 replay is up? Good thing nobody else around cares about football.

      Get out of town. Do you guys drink? If so, take her to a vineyard for the day. Pack a picnic lunch too. That way you avoid other people, get a road trip, and are drinking/eating to get your mind off the game. And have your friend with the best poker face tape the game and swear not to tell you the outcome when you get back to watch it.

  14. Titans owner Bud Adams makes the wise choice and sticks with HC Jeff Fisher over QB Vince Young. I am shocked that this was ever much of a consideration. Good move, Bud. http://bit.ly/hIZczc

      At /best/ it seems like Vince has split the lockerroom. I think it can work out for the best for both parties, but as far as the Titans go, they just had to move on.

      Can someone explain? Were they running a fake field goal? I have no idea what happened there.

    3. huskerscott

      huskerscott

      Cassidy was on the Red team. But he was the holder for both teams. So when the whites lined up for the potential game winning FG, he took the snap and threw it away on purpose. They gave Maher another shot again, but then he missed it.

      It was one of the funniest things i have ever seen. I was shocked he did that, but just goes to prove this is practically a practice.

      HuskerNationNick

      Completely agree, but if this is the true TA, and he can perform like he did tonight in big games, he could very well make it hard for Stanton to take his role. Great thing, both kids have GREAT work ethics, and enjoy competition.
