  1. Sweet baby Jesus tap dancing on a ************* cracker, nabbing one XBox Series X presale was hard enough. Nabbing another one for my brother who is a teacher...I think I wore out my mouse getting the second system.

      Hardest sale I ever got in on was when HP killed the TouchPad just six weeks after launching it and put it on fire sale for fifty bucks. I was sitting there trying to order it pretty much day and night while their servers were getting hammered, lol. Ultimately managed to snag one for me and one for my brother.

      I'm glad I recently did a PC rebuild which is staving off my thirst for one of the new consoles, but I've heard of a lot of people having problems/issues getting ahold of one. Glad you managed it!

      Thanks. I'll probably get a PS5 too next year when they become (more) available. But yeah, the presales were crazy insane. 

  2. Szechuan Sauce back on Feb. 26th at all McDonald's. Plenty for everyone this time.

      You could make gallons of it to have at home and then you don't have eat "chicken" "nuggets"  or go to WacArnold's :dunno

  3. T. Boones (Farms) Pickens is dead at 91. Tens of Oklahoma State fans are inconsolable.

      A man died.

      The grandfather in Texas Chainsaw Massacre was more alive than Pickens was for the last 15 years.

       

      With that said...Is Gundy happy or sad about this?

  5. Thanks to everyone who voted me in as WR. I'm proud to be part of our new corps and will endeavor to grow the most porn-starish of post-Westerstache porn-star mustaches, or my name isn't Ronald Jeremiah.

      WR Crew rolling through!

      As one of our new dynamic WR trio, I solemnly swear to get down to svelte 180 from my current... more than that. #10 will have the shiftiest moves and the grooviest grooves. Mark it down!

      I'm sure you guys will be wide-open all game long, just wish you had a QB.

  6. The announcers doing the UCLA/Cincy game are an affront to humanity and almost as bad as a HuskerMax ad with the volume on.

      They were more concerned about trying to hear the whistle blow than whether the player actually fumbled at the end.

      Well, considering FS1 is running a lot of the former ESPN talent, something tells me we’re in for a bumpy ride on ESPN this year.

      I've listened to McAfee's stuff before so I kinda knew what to expect with his over the top schtick and Amin is generally pretty good.  That being said...that thing was rough.  

  7. The Boys on Amazon Prime is Justice League gone corporate (and the implied toxic effects that would have) and worth a watch. First episode is great, but certainly earns its MA rating.

      Thanks for posting this, I remember seeing an ad and being intrigued and than I kinda forgot all about it.

      Hard pass from me. My superheroes don't need to be grimdark, and Garth Ennis should be locked up in an insane asylum.

      Im on episode 6 and I like it.  Kinda watchmen vibe to it.

  8. The whispers around Microsoft buying EA, Valve, and/or PU (along with other game companies) are deafening.

      Difference is EA is looking for xbox exclusives and EA is multi platform games.  This will not benefit them as they would lose the licensing from the NFL, NHL etc if they were to lock them into just the Xbox.  Valve is all PC so they could pick and choose the exclusives from there and PUBG could easily be made into an exclusive.

    3. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      You meant Microsoft right? And yeah, they’re looking for exclusives. And Madden and FIFA could easily become exclusive, and as long as Microsoft guarantees a set level of profit/royalties it’s all good. 

       

      Then again, look at Minecraft and Mojang—they could buy EA, and keep pumping out FIFA and Madden multiconsole, but make everything else exclusive. Battlefield, Anthem, Star Wars KOTOR 3, Dragon Age...all could go exclusive no problem 

    4. HuskerInLostWages

      HuskerInLostWages

      I did mean MS, yes.

       

      As for exclusive the franchises I mentioned above will never happen, NFL contract even states will be on all platforms simutaneously and I'm sure the NHL and FIFA have similar licensing contracts (former IT guy at a company EA screwed over that made C&C).  Some of their IP, yes they could but the majors not so much.

  9. This video has to be the best one concerning a total eclipse...

     

     

    ...of the heart.

      Correction...this is the best "eclipse" video.  There's a few absolute gems in here...hahaha!

      How are you getting here - air boat?

      Q39 is my favorite just because they have the best burnt ends. Ribs, brisket, pulled pork are comparable between the big names (Q39, Joe's, Jack Stack, etc.).

      @huKSer from Dallas, we're coming up Hwy. 75 and going north on it all the way to I-44, then I-44 east to I-49, then I-49 north to Kansas City. 

       

      As for getting there...I'm driving a minivan and I've played Oregon Trail. I'm gonna caulk the van and float it down the river. Hopefully one of the kids doesn't get dysentery before then.

  11. Who has concrete plans to buy a concrete from the concrete Freddy's? 

  12. Wow...you can tell who the old-school, anti-expansion B1G folks are on these BTN broadcasts. You’d think our basketball team  was last in conference and playing at Iowa considering how much they gushed over Iowa tonight. :-|

  13. Guardians of the Galaxy 2: Electric Boogaloo teaser trailer dropped:

  15. *looks up* Nebraska at #3 MSU, the same MSU team that looks better than half the NBA teams? When is opening day for Baseball again?

  16. In all honesty now with no spin or bulls$$t...who is picking up Destiny 2 today? And for what console?

      I'm probably going to wait and see what the PC reception is like before buying in. A YouTuber I follow pretty closely (LevelCap) said it has some odd issues right now including aim assist and/or some kind of shot registry issue, and aim assist is a really poor PC mechanic.

    3. HuskerInLostWages

      HuskerInLostWages

      @Enhance I played the beta and not an issue at all.  Yes aim assist was there but it took 1 look in settings and disable no more worries.  I played with it on originally without even thinking about it and it was smooth either way.

      @VectorVictor Not a fan of consoles myself so i stick with PC whenever possible.

      @VectorVictor Alliance is a bustling metropolis.

      @Cdog923 LOL...I think your definition of "bustling metropolis" and mine differ slightly. :)

    4. Cdog923

      Cdog923

      @VectorVictorProbably true; I haven't been to Alliance in maybe 15 years. I hear they have a Sam & Louie's, though! 

  18. Another year...another sad reminder that we don't have a new college football game to play and that NCAA Football 14 isn't backwards compatible on the XB1.

      If you guys still have 14, I have rosters for this season. Check the Game forum.

      Best game ever on PS3.

    4. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      @ZRod, I only mentioned XB1 since it actually has backwards compatibility with many 360 (and soon original XBox) titles and could actually be made compatible.

       

      Problem is, it's purely EA's decision on this, and EA is being willfully obtuse on not making this game BC--it won't violate any of the terms of their legal agreement, as they're not selling the game, and EA still has the servers up (as CDog reminded us above). 

  19. Any chance we could get a superthread that catalogs all of the superthreads on the board? I get tired head looking for each superthread on its own. 

  20. Are the corner A sections for Volleyball good seats? Haven't been to volleyball since the 90s, so I'm a n00b here. 

    1. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      Or the lower A endline seats, for that matter. Looking at what's available on StubHub, taking kiddo to her first VBall game. 

  21. At this point, isn't it just easier to list who isn't going to be the Head Coach at Tennessee?

  23. DFW-area Huskers. Scott Frost will be in town vs. SMU Saturday night. Anyone interested in wearing your finest Husker gear and cheering for UCF?

      Frost and UCF could use the support.  I'd go if located in DFW area.

    4. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      I am with MacNCheeze on this one.  it's just dang weird.  If you want to go to the game that's fine, but wear normal clothes.  Everything doesn't have to be Husker related.

  24. Does anyone here teach in Nebraska? Needing help navigating the state site and getting answers. If you'd prefer to PM so you don't out your profession on the board, that's cool. 

     

    I dunno...maybe it's just me, but it's kind of a cluster**** process for new teachers to get certified in the state...

      The state isn’t taking phone calls from that number unfortunately. It just has a message saying to email…

       

      …regardless, the state seriously needs someone to clean up their sites and processes ASAP.
