Saunders

Sup?

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 

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.

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.

Give me the cold, I'm not a fan of the heat.... A perfect day to me is 55 and cloudy, with a nice breeze.

I'd rather be too cold than too hot.  

Not much better here, low 90s.

@Enhance I thought the same thing. Decided to give it a year to see if it's worth it.

@Enhance The draw would be the access to the plethora of talent that The Athletic has put together over the last couple of years. Sherman would be the main draw, but you'd also have access to Mandel, Feldman and Auerbach for CFB, among others for other sports. 

That said, I am cheap, so I haven't subscribed yet. 

If you guys want my login/password, just ask....

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.

Here’s your preview: Vedral plays the second half.

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.

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

I appreciate all that you do here

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?

Thats gotta be somebody like Dave Grohl f#&%in around

Haha. I expected him to throw the sticks and kick over his stool and drum set when he finished. Now we know what Neil Peart is doing these days.

Kinda plays like Travis Barker... Japan is cray...

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. 

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 

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.

If a HB tailgate gets going I’ll stop by. Otherwise planning on pregaming at the railyard/Haymarket. 

Yeah, that was kinda my plan too. Worst case, maybe we can meet up somewhere in that area.

Sounds good. I’ll have my son and daughter with me and maybe wife and others. I suppose we can PM through HB to meet up.

Yeaaaaah he isn't looking real smart at the moment. 

I  wonder if its been hacked

Sadly, Zach Smith is perceived to be the wronged party and a suffering hero in some circles, so it likely won't happen anytime soon. 

Is Gebbia #4 or #5 to leave?

 8 of 20 gone or never made it to campus by my count

Roberts, Gebbia, KJJ, Hampton, Ward, Miles, Blades, Watts

12/20.  Yeah, 60% is not great.  Then again, these are Riley's recruits.  They no doubt felt disenfranchised when they suffered through a 4-8 season and their coach got fired.  

That's the part I remembered too.

Well, watch again and see what you think:
 

@VectorVictor: no

@jaws - pretty sure we'd already know if Meyers had reported it. In fact I'd wager this either wouldn't be a story at all if he had, or it would be ended already.

@Moiraine maybe so but Title IX stuff can be very complicated. Sometimes it isn't as cut and dry as people are making it out to be. It might be black and white in this case, I don't know. 

The AD is going to go with this and the wrestling investigation.  

As they say, crime is higher in Urban areas

I might be down for a possible pre-game meet up. 99% sure we'll be going to that game. And I still need about 3 tickets also.

Admit it, you just want to meet up with people so you can poach their tickets.  I'm on to you.

Well @NUance they should! lol.

YES! Glad to have him back!  He is a class act. Excellent choice

Very good news!

Could also serve as director of player spiritual development

Starting to look like old home week around there. His hire only makes it better, imho

GBR!!!
