@The Dudeyeah, I thought that was common knowledge, but maybe not anymore since he's not been in the public zeitgeist for a while now.

Considering the scope of the FBI's probe into NCAA Basketball players being paid and the top teams from the B1G being implicated...does this mean if we return all of our kids, we're a favorite to win the conference next year?

DirecTV Now Streaming TV service is $10/mo. for three months for their base package--good enough to watch 63 of the NCAA Tournament games.

Great price if you already have a streaming device and want to try out the service.- Show previous comments 2 more

@knapplc Minimum two years of indentured servitude.
-
@Enhance Incorrect. You can cancel any time after the three months are up or during the three months, penalty free. You're probably thinking of terrestrial DirecTV.
-
@knapplc they also have the Apple TV 4K deal going on as well--prepay three months of service at regular price, get an Apple TV 4k 32GB sent to you for "free".
And with this package too, you can cancel any time after your three prepaid months are up.

Disney and Fox have an agreed-upon deal, folks. Let's welcome the Fantastic Four and X-Men (and more importantly, their associated villains) to the Marvel Cinematic Universe...

Fox only owned distribution for Episode IV: A New Hope in perpetuity--everything else Lucasfilm (nee Disney) owns lock, stock, and barrel. And Disney wouldn't go to all the trouble to have Fox take money off the top...just like Disney won't ever release a standalone Incredible Hulk movie because Universal owns distribution rights to that and any standalone films (also why Namor was a no-show in the MCU as well).
But yes, this was a fly in the ointment that was keeping Disney from releasing HD versions of the original, unaltered trilogy. This...and Lucas saying there was no copy of the original Episode IV left in existence...(though one was stitched together by fans in Europe last year, IIRC). Disney doesn't like to share profits on distribution.

Folks—if you’re taking Friday off and you’re in the vicinity of Omaha...get your happy a$$ to TD Ameritrade Park to cheer your Huskers on tomorrow night.
Get lit, and let’s watch our kids kick some Hawkeye a$$. #BigTenAfterDark

Gotta love how people confuse the eschewing of toxic masculinity in society with degradation in male social ability and blame everything (e.g. video games, Internet, porn) but the root cause.

@VectorVictor It would be best practice to keep comments about a thread within the thread itself.

Heads up: eBay has a 20% off anything coupon for today only, $100 max.

This coupon works on all specialty stores too, including Best Buy, Dyson, etc. Hell of a good deal if you shop there.

Holy hell...my youngest is graduating preschool today, and I've got all sorts of feels.

I don't know what I'm more excited for: Avengers 3: Infinity War or the Spring Game.

I don't know what's more shocking: that Urban didn't learn a damn thing from his stint at Florida, or that Brett McMurphy still doesn't have a job yet.

@Toe LOL...you're right. Good catch...though in all honesty, I should probably subscribe to both.
@ladyhawke Don't forget shops like BTN (which is majority owned by Fox). After the current deal is done, I wouldn't be shocked if we have another expansion and then more of the Top Tier games are saved for BTN exclusively (instead of ABC/ESPN or FOX OTA/Sports)--remember, the conference gets more ad revenue from the games that air on their channel compared to Disney/FOX.

I just rolled the dice by getting tickets to the Purdue game...plus it will be my youngest kiddo’s first game.
In my head I f****d up, but in my heart, if her first game is ScoFro’s first win...

@TAKODA thanks. We may try to do the S&C and Memorial Stadium tours Sunday if they’re open. Otherwise we’ll come back during the summer.

I miss Tunnel Walk of Shame. It's been forever since we've had one of those.

I want to apologize to the board for forgetting Crick's name and switching him and Suh's number up. I plead for leniency from the mods to let my ban start after the game.
