No way am I answering an 865 telephone call anytime soon.

I used to watch Arrow religiously, and kind of got into The Flash. Nowadays, I just watch the crossovers, so I've been looking forward to this one. 

I'm so proud of those guys!  They went through the Bo firing, the Riley hiring and bow his end but they kept fighting.  I'm especially proud of our home grown boys. You will be missed!

Good coach.  Better than any we've hired since TO by a damn sight.

I remember all the arguments for why his success doesn't count.  They we never very convincing.

Yeah, I was one of those too. Mark Richt is a class act. I would’ve loved to have had him as our coach. But I’m hopeful that like Richt going back to his alma mater, Scott will come home to his. 

Plus the beauty of the XBO:X is that it's backwards compatible, and they're even providing XBO:X upgrades to 360 titles (e.g. Halo 3, Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion). 

I highly recommend a XBO:X for third party console, online gaming, and MS exclusive titles. It's the most impressive system I've seen since when the 3DO dropped. 

Good on the backwards compatibility. I remember feeling pretty hosed when Sony decided to not make their later run PS3's backwards compatible. Shameless money grub, IMO.

I'm personally holding out and going to try to grab a Switch this Christmas as well. But now I'm tempted to look at that...

For the rig, I specifically really nice monitor not too long ago that was Freesync capable because I was planning to put a Vega in this baby. But then that launch kind of flopped... Holding out to see if I can find one discounted around Black Friday.

Perhaps get a 2K monitor instead with FreeSync? Not only will it work for your PC, but the XBO:X also outputs natively at 1440p (2K), and is rumored to support both AMD and NVIDIA monitor sync platforms in the very near future. 

He's forsaken us. Too busy in the top drawer.

Better chance he's in the dirty clothes hamper stuck together.

He's a filthy, filthy sock.

Thor is probably the good choice.

I heard the latest Thir movie is the best one yet. VectorVictor we'll be waiting for your review!

It was very well done—probably top three or four of all Marvel movies, easily (behind Avengers, Civil War, and maybe Winter Soldier).

Stinger sets up directly into the next Avengers movie to boot.

I dunno...I think it depends on if we make the NCAA Tourney again this year and how we do in B1G play.  And if we choke in the B1G/NCAA tourney again...I think you'll be seeing *at least* the assistants being looked at, if not Erstad himself. 

We honestly shouldn't be having problems consistently being at the top of this conference for Baseball...

FIRE EM ALL! GET THE PITCHFORKS OUT!

@MacNCheeze inquiring minds want to go. 

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

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.

I dressed up in my Columbia Husker coat and 17’ sideline coaches hat and a chick (mid 20’s) goes “ooohh you’re dressed scary dressing up as a Husker fan” as here and three other dudes with here started to laugh hysterically.  If my son wasn’t by my side I was going to say “not as scary as you dressing up as a skank” haha

I dressed up as a Huskerboard poster

Ha. My daughter said a kid at her school (in Colorado) wore a Husker shirt as his costume...said he was a disgruntled football fan. No, she wasn't aware of this status update.

Goodness people!  I think the Riley era is done but this was a solid win.  It was not a we are back moment, but Purdue is not a bad football team.  Like knapplc said they have lost some close games, and with the way they are playing they can play with just about anyone.  

The problem isn't that Purdue may be a decent team this year--it's that we have to say that we got a last-second upset win. That means Purdue played us evenly, and that that they were favored to win--two things that shouldn't be happening, period. 

I think a bigger indictment of the state of the program is that our fan base can't enjoy a victory.  There is a difference between being critical and being negative.  With your mindset there was nothing the team could have done that would have left you with a positive attitude.  There are lots of reasons to want a new coach, but don't let a victory be one of them.

I got a chance to see him in CB during his Mandatory Fun tour, well worth the price of admission.

@Judoka you may want to check this tour out then--no predefined setlist, no A/V or costumes, just simply Al and the band performing (mostly) B-Sides and originals in smaller venues. Think one half Unplugged, one half Storytellers. 

Especially one that ditched the option for the West Coast offense because he thought it was his way to the NFL.

CHEESEY CAPS LOCK FRYDAY! 

CLEARLY TRADITION WORKS WELL AROUND HERE, WE WON LAST WEEK DON'T CHANGE IT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

But will we use CAPS Lock on Black Friday too? I'm asking because I think our tradition is being confused around here...

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

He did get rid of Bo. That wasn't a bad thing IMO, just failed on the other side of that coin.

Do the best thing we can say is that he got us a great deal with Adidas? 

Outside of Volleyball I would say that was not a bad deal he got for us.

Are they good seats though? And what's the going rate for scalped tickets?

Depends who's selling them, and what they're asking for. Face value is $20 for A&B Levels, $16 for C.

There really isn't a bad seat in the Devaney Center. It's big for a volleyball venue but it's no stadium. Even the upper C Level tickets give you a good view. 

Cool. Thank you Sir.

I would be a very happy person if that happened.

Idk. Bo, Taylor and co were like cartoon characters. This staff is a horror show. Really nothing cute or funny about it. 

We need some comedy other than what we see on the field.

@huskered17 To be fair, though, the playcalling has been a problem since Riley's first game against BYU in 2015. And Illinois 2015. And Pur-f******-due 2015. 

I'd like to see that defense in a real test before I deem it not a problem. Oregon coasted the 2nd half and I wouldn't exactly classify NIU as a legitimate test of it. I want to think you're right but what I wanted to believe led me to thinking we'd annihilate NIU so I'm going to require concrete proof from here on out.

NIU played pretty conservative after we spotted them a 14 point lead.  They also missed several easy throws that had nothing to do with our defense.  When they actually tried, they scored easily.

Far from convinced about anything.

I dunno about Diaco as HC, but it would be worth it to keep him and the defensive staff intact when we get a new HC. 

Yeah I jacked up the middle of that. Fixed it.

That's an interesting idea. It worked OK when we heldover Watson for Bo. Could make us an interesting landing spot for an offensive-minded HC...

Maybe Les Miles can work his way in to interim..

Ironically I had 2 charges back to back about a month ago on one of my cards in the amount of $1.50.  I closed the account, but do be on the look out for incremental charges, often from the sort of place you "might" have been (tolls, restaurants, etc)

@NM11046 Very good point. They do that to test the proverbial waters and see if you're paying attention, then soak you with a large charge at a later time. 

I've caught a handful of those, partially because I'm very anal when it comes to receipts and finances. 

@VectorVictor It's not that you want to sue, it's more that the free credit monitoring is only for a year and doesn't account for any future damages.
