      I spent many hours watching that show when I was a kid.  Fond memories.

      I heard Parler is pretty good for that.

  2. Family has Thor: Ragnarok at the Alamo Draft House at 1pm, looking good to making it home by the second half.

      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.

  3. Folks--this Bill Moos hire was/is vital. Not only are we looking at a new football coach in 2018, but potentially a new Men's Basketball coach, and even a new Baseball coach as well.

      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...

  4. Forgive my ignorance, but what's the best way to get good tickets for Volleyball? Gonna be back home next Friday, wanted to take the family to the Minny game.

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

       

    3. knapplc

      knapplc

      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. :)

  5. Hey @killer cacti, so how do you feel about being conference mates? FSU, Washington, Clemson, and Oregon to the #B1G as soon as next week supposedly:

      Let's do it. 

  6. Hey...at least the defense only gave up 7 points and ~250 yards today to a potent offensive team. That's one of the few things keeping me from thinking this season is going to be a complete clusterf***.

      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. 

    3. Danny Bateman

      Danny Bateman

      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..

  7. Honestly, the best thing we can say about Eichorst's tenure is that he didn't f*** up the Volleyball program.

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

    3. VectorVictor

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

    4. HuskermanMike

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

       

  8. I couldn't settle on a number for a Youth Soccer Goalie jersey (scarlet and cream colored) for our team, so I went with #79.

      69 was taken? :)

      You're the goalie for a youth soccer team? 

    3. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      @GSGno, but I've been coaching a very successful one for four years now. I needed to order a communal goalie jersey (an in-case scenario) and I went with the number of one of the best defenders of all time. 

  9. I need help coming up with a six-character specialized Husker plate. I tried 'Frosty', Fro5ty', and 'Fro57y', but they're all taken. :(

      From time to time, I do enjoy playing an older version of Flight Simulator on my pc.  I really really want to get Flight Simulator 2020 :wub:

       

  11. If you're wanting to see a great DC Comics Justice League team up, make sure you're watching Crisis on Earth-X on the CW. It's a four show crossover, and it's more fun in its first half than the entirety of the Justice League movie.

      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. 

  12. It's time: the Sock isn't the hero we need, but he's the hero we deserve to post rumors about our coaching search.

  13. Jordan Larsen to Texass as a Volleyball coach? What in the actual f***?!!?

    1. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      Settle down dude.  Sometimes you take a job wherever you can get it.  Regardless of what we feel towards Texas, they are a great program and it's a great opportunity for Jordan.

    2. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      @ColoradoHusk I get that she needs a paycheck and a gig.

       

      But damn...couldn't she have found a landing spot with another program that's not diametrically opposed to our existence as a program?

    3. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      @VectorVictor NU would only play Texas in the NCAA tournament and the occasional non-conference match.  It's not like Larsen is getting her start with a conference rival, which even then wouldn't be a big deal.

  14. Just a shout out to all the kids (especially Seniors) playing what is most likely the last game of the season. Thanks for giving your time to our beloved University, and here's hoping for success for you in the future.

      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!

  15. Last minute Halloween idea—put on a Nebraska shirt (and pants), and *BAM* instant “Disgruntled Season Ticket Holder” costume!

      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

      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.

  16. Mods, could you please fire Riley and Eichorst so we can move on to aviation and flight-watching threads?

      That's what it sounds like, to be honest. Sad that we continue to march backwards while the rest of the world marches forward. 

  18. Our defense has given up 748 total yards and 23 total points the past 14 quarters (read: after the first quarter debacle at Oregon). That's 53 yards/quarter and only 1.64 points/quarter. Granted, the competition hasn't been the best...but this is pretty damn good considering we're running a new defensive scheme. 

  19. Question--how's the IT job market in Lincoln/Omaha looking these days? I've heard conflicting reports from the friends I've talked to back home about the job market up there...and I've given serious consideration to moving back to Lincoln if I can find gainful employment.

      Thanks everyone. I’m in the development and process side of things as a Senior Business Analyst for IT...so while I don’t directly code, I work on project/process/problem management for all the different groups involved with hardware/software deployments, from PCI/SOX compliance, Operations, Marketing, and Tech Support (among others). 

       

      In short, I wear enough hats day to day to start my own haberdashery.

      Minnesota_husker

      Very familiar with the BA side. There are jobs out there. I suggest looking at a place like Lincoln Financial Group in Omaha. Plenty of contract work out there as well or some full time. Shoot me a message if you want some connections. 

      To answer your question there is some work in that realm. Not bubbling over like it is for Developers but I bet if you put your nose to the grindstone you could find something in 2-4 months.

    4. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      @Minnesota_husker thanks, I'll take you up on that offer in the very near future, if that's alright with you?  

       

      And thanks everyone for the info. This would be a big move for my family if I can pull it off--a big, yet positive one I would hope. Public schools are decidedly better in Nebraska than in Texas, so I'd primarily be doing this for my kids.

      And season tickets. 

  20. So Bert got a (road) win against a Top 10 team his first year. There’s no way you can tell me Illinois is better in Bert’s first year than we were in Scott’s first, second, third, or fourth year.

      Penn State's play-calling in the OTs was weird. They got too cute (where have I heard that before lol) 

    3. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      @GSGI said the exact same thing myself watching those OTs. 

      Also, swapping end zones during OTs was a beating. Would much rather have the old OT back. Or after the second OT, make it sudden death rules, a la the NFL. 

    4. GSG

      GSG

      @VectorVictor Yes! Bring back the old OT. I think under the old rules that game probably ends in 3rd or 4th OT and not the 9th 

  21. So if we're playing on Friday, shouldn't we have CAPS LOCK Thursday instead? Or will you all be shouting at each other in the gameday thread?

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

  22. So...if Nebraska fans have to choose between going to K.C. for the Volleyball NC match or a non-conference basketball game vs. Kansas in Lincoln...the fans will choose Volleyball, right?

    1. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      I'm guessing we'll be very well represented at both venues. My choice would be a bit of a trip to KC.

      Already had tickets for the basketball game.. I'd imagine they'll do a nice job of updating throughout the game.. Hopefully

  23. So...Turner Gill just did with Liberty what he couldn't do at Kansas--beat Baylor.

  24. The ultimate indictment of the Riley era is having to score a last-second TD to get an upset win against a 3-3 Purdue.

      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.  

    3. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      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. 

    4. STL Husker

      STL Husker

      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.
