  1. (I’ve tried to post this twice but it didn’t seem to go through) Northwestern lost their qb-Thorsen. Kentucky lost their top running back Snell. NW playing well.

      I’m not sure what quantifications you are looking for. I said I am probably in the minority because I think there are a lot of posters on this board that care how well the Big Ten teams do, especially in bowl games. Myself, I really don’t care. I’m not openly rooting for many other teams other than Nebraska, unless those games have a DIRECT correlation on where NU will end up in a given season. As it currently stands, Nebraska had a super s#!tty season, so I could give 2 s#!ts about how well the conference does during bowl season. All the games are having an INDIRECT impact on Nebraska.

      You said: “Caring about how other teams in the conference do is something that fans of losing teams do.“. How so? Nebraska was a losing team this year but that hasn’t always been the case. Other folks on this board root for other teams in our conference-so are you calling us losers? 

      I just like to watch football period. I will always root for a B1G team playing against a team not in our conference. I also root for old Big 8 teams. I will never root for Texas or Notre Dame.

      @ColoradoHusk, I root for ever B1G team except the Huskers to lose unless they're playing the SEC, then I root for the SEC to lose. If every single team but the Huskers lost every game, I'd be cool with that. I don't give a crap about the conference or who thinks which conference is the best or whatever.

      Yes they do-I sure did in this thread and I apologize. I especially apologize to C N Red.  He was just joshing me and I blew up. I'm not usually like that. My two brothers and my Dad used to do that to me and my hubby does it all the time so you would think I would just roll with it.  

      So, sorry everyone. Please forgive my outburst. GBR.

      Unless of course it the Huskers or the Broncos in victory formation. Then, obviously the opposing team should be classy and just accept the fact that they lost.

      Hey Knap, the Tour has been brutal. Geariaint Thomas, who is the lead out man for Chris Froome, who is currently wearing the yellow jersey and will probably win it all, crashed out as did second place rider Richie Porte. Richie was going 40mph around the curve hit the edge of the road, flew off his bike and hit the wall on the other side. Two Americans, Taylor Phi net and Nate Brown both got to wear King of the Miuntains jersey. Andrew Talansky is in the best place. He may win a stage when t...

  8. Going through old newspapers I’ve kept relating to the Huskers. Ran across the OWH edition of Bo’s firing and laughed at these headlines:

    Shatel: Eichorst Sounds Like a Man With a Plan

    Shatel: Don’t Expect AD Eichorst to Flounder as Pederson Did in 03 (No he just set out to destroy our program!)

    Chaitlain: Eichorst Proves He Understands NU Tradition, Standards (HUH?!)

      I’ll bet both of these reporters cringe at these articles!

      whateveritis1224

      For those headlines.  Eichorst was a man with a plan (the plan ended up not working, but it was a plan).  Eichorst did not flounder like Pederson did in '03, he found a guy and hired him.  Again the hiring ended up back firing on him, but he did have a plan.

       

      The Chatelain headline is one that does not work, but was there anything at that point that indicated that firing Bo was a bad move.  IIRC most fans were at the point ready for Bo to move on. 

       

      Hindsight is always 20/20 and I don't see a problem with 2 of the 3 headlines (with the Chatelain one coming off the fact that most of Eichorst's firing press conference was spent discussing the fact that while 9 wins was ok, we should be striving for more).

    3. Thanks_Tom RR

      Thanks_Tom RR

      If Eichrost had a plan, he would have fired Bo the season before when Bo challenged him to do so. Eichorst did make a quick hire, but it was heavily questioned by all, though everyone agreed Mike was a "nice guy". To say we had to wait until hindsight before we could understand the missteps of those choices is misleading.

       

      Also, it was well documented that the fan base was completely split about firing Bo. 

    4. Thanks_Tom RR

      Thanks_Tom RR

      Simply, if you had a plan and understood the standard of this program, you don't hire a perennial .500 coach.

  9. Does anyone know where you can find morrell mushrooms around the Omaha area?  When I was a kid we would go mushroom hunting all the time in the Spring. They are delicious when deep fried and served with homemade onion rings made from Vidallia onions.

      I wouldn't worry too much about him @ladyhawke.  It wasn't "his" fault and if anything, this will make people not from Gretna more likely to remember that GHS won the state title game in 2021.

      and, the medals were not taken from them. The administration bares the blame and hopefully the young man, his family and the team knows it's not "his" fault. Absolute let down by the school, the coaches and the NSAA.. (hard to imagine why this wasn't addressed before the playoffs, maybe they couldn't for legal reasons) Still, heartbreaking for the athletes

      It's a good watch.  Severe is pretty critical, but nothing that many people haven't been thinking about the o-line.  Severe is originally from Louisiana, so he probably has a number of contacts who let him know what NU was getting in Tanner Lee.

  16. Favorite Christmas movie?  I love the original 'Miracle on 34th St.' with Maureen O'Hara but my all time favorite is one they never show anymore. It's called 'A Christmas Story' by Truman Capote. It's a story told by Capote when he was a child. I can watch it on YouTube. The music score makes the film. The late Geraldine Paige stars. What is your favorite Christmas movie?

      Actually, I would make them #2. If Alabama or Georgia wanted that they maybe shouldn't have lost any games, and either one can still get #1.

    3. Enhance

      Enhance

      The CFP committee has been pretty consistent - UCF didn't play a tough enough schedule and is being penalized for it. I think they have a point but only to a degree.

       

      I don't think it's wholly fair and a system should be in place that would allow a team like UCF to compete for a title. There just should be. That said, should an undefeated team that played the 54th strongest schedule get a spot over say a one loss team with the 6th tough schedule? I think that's dicey.

    4. zoogs

      zoogs

      Yeah, I just feel like they got penalized enough by missing out on the playoffs. Then they played a pretty legit team on New Year's. SEC. Beat both MNC finalists, right? Supposedly they were going to get creamed, finally. And they didn't just show they belonged, they beat Auburn. #2 is the only fitting consolation I think. It doesn't actually mean anything. If other teams feel like they deserved it more maybe they should have avoided losing games. If we all want this to be more clear in the future than don't have a 4 team playoff.

      I think that no matter what UCF does, they'll get left out of the playoff. The Committee will find a reason not to include them, if for no other reason than that it'll kill TV viewership.

      We never used to open gifts on Christmas Day.  We always went to church and came home to gifts and appetizers (grown ups drank :) )  Then on Christmas Day we would have a big dinner without the "hub bub" of presents.

       

      Now, with a wife that sometimes works on Christmas Eve (like tonight), and living in different towns than our parents and siblings, opening gifts are a crap shoot.  We'll probably start tomorrow and finish sometime around New Years Eve..haha!!
