  1. Nothing like a fun trip to the ER today. Started having chest pains last night when I went to bed last night, and they got worse today around lunch. Was basically pushed to the ER by my boss/wife, but tests came back fine. I'm only 33, I exercise a ton, and am pretty damn healthy, so it was weird. Doc was a bit confused, and said it was "chest wall inflammation" which is a catch-all for IDKWTF is wrong with you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      I've been treated for the same thing in my late 20s/early 30s--Doc told me unless it gets severe, that I pretty much have to ride it out. Kinda messes with your mind/makes you think you're having a heart attack.

      Take care Saunders!  Glad you went to get it checked out.

      On a serious note ive had heart issues over the past few years.  Had a couple stints that wound me up in the er over me worrying about it.  Ill never forget the last time ISU played Nebraska, i was so worked up i felt my heart beating outside my chest.  I was bright red and had to sit down and just tune everything out.  After that, i never get that worked up over a game anymore.  

  2. Wisconsin game is a 7PM kickoff on BTN.

  3. I mean, I knew it, but reading it is that much more depressing. Nebraska has only won 3 of it's last 9 games.

      In baseball that is called a HOF average...in CFB it is called Mediocre Mike

      Definitely not a good trend. Obviously this was considered in addition to simply the NIU loss.

  4. Boy, do we need a win this weekend.

      That would be nice but we are playing Rutgers so.....

      if the current last place team wins we might get to be ranked the worst o the worst.   

  6. Looks like our house escaped unscathed. Somehow, our house still has power, so my parents are headed there to stay until they get it back. We'll be heading back early Wednesday.

      Brother made it back to Tampa, one tree down and a bunch of debris but house is good and I assume he has power because he didn't say he didn't. So good news.

      Great to hear! My parents got their power back earlier, so they're good to go.

  7. So, since we're stuck in the mountains for a few days, wife and I decided to go for a walk this evening. We got trapped on a dead end road by bears and had to climb a 40 foot near-cliff to get back.

      I was going to say what a problem to have to be stuck in the mountains.. Then I kept reading

  8. Been up since 4:30AM, but we made it to Gatlinburg and at least we have a place to stay for a few days while we figure everything out. Tried to follow the game on the road, I'll check in on the post game tomorrow. For now.... sleep.

  9. We're headed out of the state. Not sure where we're stopping tonight. Trying to find a hotel anywhere in the southeast along our path is... hard.

      I was streaming the 1st quarter in the car, but shut it off. No need to watch this embarrassment. Thanks though!!!

      It got a lot better.  :-)

  10. As of now, the plan is for us to stay and hunker down. This could get interesting.

      Yeah, we're 35 miles inland, north of Tampa. My dad lives here too, and was a meteorologist in the air force, so we've been talking alot. He feels comfortable to stay, so I do as well.

      Stay safe buddy, I'll be thinking about you guys. My wife's two aunts tried to leave and their flights got cancelled so they're stuck now. :(

      We have relatives in St. Pete. They are hunkering down too. Praying for your safety. Keep in touch. 

  11. Welp, latest NHC forecast moved Irma farther to the west, right up the gut of FL. We might have to evacuate after all... :/

      My Brother in Law used to live in Hunters Green. That's about 15 minutes south of us.

  12. LOL, UCLA with the 34 point comeback. Rosen gets the go ahead fake spike TD pass with under 1:00 to play. WOW.

      If I remember correctly, Nebraska won 142-12 going away. Could you make sure your version of the game accurately depicts the real events of the evening? Thx

      I 'forgot" to record.  Was that really roughing on AState's last drive?  I was busy trying not to look and I haven't seen it mentioned. I think it made it 1-10 on the 10ish yard line.  

  14. Ball State 2007. Same thing tonight.

  15. WatchEspn no longer does Multi-view. WTF..

  16. Planned on having a BBQ and a bunch of friends over today. Kids got strep. :(

  17. Scott Frost has UCF up 37-10 at the half on FIU and Butch Davis. They are substantially better than last year and the offense has been rolling.

      Pelini's best year was his his 2nd as well.

      The comparison to Bo and his 2nd year is ridiculous. 

    4. VectorVictor

      @ColoradoHusk What if Scott Frost wins a NC in his second year at UCF? Or at least makes it to a top-tier bowl?

  18. FIVE STRAIGHT DAYS OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!

  19. Ed Cunningham resigns from ESPN, citing discomfort of seeing brain trauma inflicted on field. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/08/30/sports/espn-ed-cunningham-football-concussions.html?referer=https://t.co/lHRHEWUGFm?amp=1

      His commentary caused me brain trauma.  It made me want to put my head through a wall and drink until I dont care about how awful he is at his job.

      Good, one of the worst announcers in football, glad to see him go.

      I believe this status update is targeting. And all these comments, well they're targeting too. In fact, everything is targeting ... and leading with the head.

       

      Hopefully Ed stays away from all contact sports.  At least we know now why he was so overly preoccupied with TARGETING :lol:

  25. Looks like some changes in my schedule might let me take the family up to Lincoln for a game. Anyone dumping 4 tickets for Rutgers or NIU?

    1. Mavric

      Mavric

      Rutgers is a bit too far out to know but there's a good possibility I'll have 4 for NIU.

      Cool! We'll know for sure by this weekend if we're gonna make it, so I'll be grabbing plane tickets then.
