Haha.  My 12 year old walked in last week during the game and said, "Hey dad, its closer than it usually is."The sad state of the program.  Then my wife listens to me vent about all the dumb stuff that happened during the game.  

At least the HS team is 10-0 and playing really well.  

For me it’s hard to tell my son why he should be a Husker fan at the age of 7 when all of his friends are Hawkeye fans while Iowa has thumped on Nebraska for 4 straight years. My son hasn’t seen Nebraska beat Iowa yet which is sad and pathetic. 

Even if it's without fans I really hope so too.

When we moved into our new house last summer, we were the only ones on our street, and we struggled to get internet installed. We resorted to a hotspot in the meantime, and it bit the dust earlier this year, so it's been a pain to get online. Couple that with being stuck at home most of the last 30 days, and it's been rough. We got CenturyLink Fiber installed (finally), so I'll be around more now. 

Of all the times not to have Internet.  lol 

Um, gulp, you're aware of the whole virus thing, right?

Enjoy!  Hit up Barry's and Sandy's...and JJ hit up The Bar...it will remind you of your time on campus.

Come to Fairmont after game for some poker, only about an hour west of Lincoln.

That's the part I remembered too.

Well, watch again and see what you think:
 

@VectorVictor: no

I kind of thought he'd go The Athletic route. 

@Xmas32 Completely agree, but I sadly can see it going that way. 

@Cdog923 

Yeah, it makes too much sense for them not to put it behind a paywall.  I was super bummed to hear he was leaving when I learned about it on the last Podcast Ain't Played Nobody.  I was hoping for The Athletic since I was planning on subscribing to it.  I'll be anxiously looking forward to where ever he lands and hope he fires up a new podcast although it won't be as good as the product he and Godfrey had.

And he’s already drinking the $EC koolaid based on 

That didn't get me hype at all!

Yeah, fox was better.

No Nebraska... Even 3 win Michigan State got some publicity there.

I think this decision should be delayed as long as possible.  And...hopefully, if they decide to announce something soon, it can be adjusted, to a certain extent, in the fall to acknowledge reality at the time either way.

@Dewiz  What am I, chopped liver?

@Comfortably Numb haha no he asked first 

Thanks @Dewiz keep me in the loop!

Glad the Iowa game is not 11am.

Good news so far. I've never been to a home night game. May have to do N. Illnois.

Just don’t flee into bear territory again this time.

I hear nukes work well to get rid of them

@JJ Husker Nah, we just moved into the new house. I'm getting a case of redneck beer and riding this thing out.

As they say, crime is higher in Urban areas

Difference between Nebraska/Clemson and Bama is that Saban is a scum bag. I'd be fine with a good guy like Dabo being dominant.

Well sure, Dabo is better than Saban but TO was a pretty good guy and most everyone other than Husker fans had their fill of Nebraska by the late 90's early 2000's. So, not being a scumbag helps but anyone on a long dominate run is susceptible. Patriots and Belichek are another good example. I just understand it better now whereas I didn't at all when people first started hating on us.

Yeah, people want to see competition if it's not their team on top. It's definitely more interesting to see fresh blood in the title game.

Did you just say never has being wrong felt so right? If so, thumbs up

Can't wait. Picked up 2 season tickets for the first time ever since student tix. Probably only make it back to Lincoln for 3 or 4 games but that's 2 or 3 more than usual. Plus we got the CU game out here this year.

Meanwhile, Colorado is at 55th, a jump of 15 spots from last week. 

Riddle me this: "When is a win not a win?"

@ladyhawke This is a computer ranking so sports media has nothing to do with it

Ah, Thanks for info 

Oh sweet baby Jesus tapdancing on a cracker, that song was at EVERY SINGLE OFF-CAMPUS PARTY in the late 90s. Even the people hosting parties got tired of the song and only played it out of some misguided sense of obligation. 

Plus, it's really awkward to be on a road trip with the kids and wife somewhere, hear that song start up on a 90s station, and then remember some of the rather questionable things you did as a youth and who you did them with. 

Oh, hell yeah! @ZRod

Because I have kids, this is the first one that came to mind with me

My mom pre-ordered it for my birthday (yes I'm a 35-year-old man who just said that), but I don't know if she plans on waiting until December to give it to me, because she'd be wrong.

feeling that cough and fever come on eh Saunders?  Want me to write you a doctors note?

Do it! Who's going to stop you?

Didja?

Is the subscriber Plus cheaper than the paper subscription?  Because, you know, paper and delivery costs don't exist

@huKSer Yes - I think the going rate for unlimited access to all their content online is like $10/month.

@Saunders I think I'm picking up what you were getting at now. I think The Athletic and the OWH are incomparable from a business standpoint. The Athletic is purely an online experience and, although they try to place people in local markets, they're a national brand. The OWH still delivers newspapers to tons of people still and have a lot fixed costs associated with that including print, production, delivery, management, carriers, etc.

I'm sure they also have a lot of advertisers that want to get in front of their audience. So, it's just different business models. But, like I said, their online subscriber program gets rid of ads almost entirely.

Hmm, I swear I saw ads when I did the trial last year, and I was shocked. Maybe they fixed it. Still, the price is quite high for what it is.

You have to answer one question first.

How would this positively benefit tOSU and Wisconsin?

If you have an answer, I'm sure they would consider looking into it.  ....sorta serious.

I saw that. F those guys. Seat Geeks all the way.

It's almost like Pearl Jam tried to warn us about this years ago.
