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!!

One on Christmas Eve and the rest on Christmas Morning!

We open one on Christmas Eve and the rest on Christmas Day. 

Merry Christmas everyone. Enjoy your families today!

Won't be long now, fried mushrooms and fresh walleye shore lunch.that's living right there.

Pretty sure I could survive on nothing more than fried mushrooms and fresh walleye....might need a fee brewskies, but other than that I'm good.

Morrell and asparagus locations are like CIA secrets. 

No kidding!  But he just kicked a beauty of an extra point! GBR!

I was surprised that J.T. Barrett was in this type of game.  Doesnt strike me as an NFL QB at all.  What little i saw of his time in there, he was a clunker.

I agree.  He did NOT have a good game!  There was a running back in there, Lawry (sp?) from Old Dominion!  Wow!  That kid could move!  He reminded me of Roy Helu!! 

My goodness, that sounds heavenly.  I'm relegated to being stuck behind a keyboard and screen.  

Sorry to hear that Dilly Dilly

Just get there or just leaving?  SJPR is a fun place.

We were just arriving when i posted that but now we’re getting ready to leave. Great cruise!

Right on!

Yes it is... Their agenda is glaring to all that want to look! SEC and Politics......

The Chiefs are ahead for now but the Pats are about to score. Rex is playing so well. Gotta love that guy!

I’’m pulling for him.  I liked him when he was with Philly, but just choked in big games.  I would love for this guy to finally get a ring.

Me too! Exciting game. Glad Rex made the winning touchdown. 

@ColoradoHuska companion piece to Shevin Wiggins' foot. 

@VectorVictor I thought it was Shevin Wiggums

@ColoradoHusk I thought it was Clarence Wiggum.

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).

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. 

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

It would be great if Watson can get his game/production back. Developing Jordy to get 15-20 solid minutes would go a long way. I’m most excited to see Roby next season and looking forward to what Nana can contribute.

All great points SH!

Sure glad to have those guys back another year.   This is huge for Nebrasketball! 

Happy 4th to you Lady H!

Just curious-how many on HB are in the military or have served our country in the past?

Ditto BigRedN. It sure makes a difference when you have that hope!

@ladyhawke:  Yeah, that would be a sad time.  My mother lost her father, my grandfather, at a fairly young age.  Some of my earliest memories are visiting a small town Nebraska cemetery each Memorial Day so my mom could put flowers on his grave.  Keep your chin up! 

Thanks Nuance. Several of my friends lost their Dads this year. I remember when my grandpa died (both of them). It was like an end of an era.  

Happy Mother's Day to YOU!  :-)

Right back atcha!

Happy New Year. 

Happy New Year !

Happy New Year to you, too!

Happy Thanksgiving ladyhawke. And I am stuffinged.

Happy Black Friday to y'all!

We are fine but we did get golfball size hail with damage to the roof, window screens and trees. You be careful out there by Brush. They always get hammered in that area.

Glad to hear you guys are ok. If we had been there an hour earlier we wpuld’ve been caught on it. 

They didn’t show all of it on tv just when Scott and the team came out on the field. 

They started Sirius- then music stopped and broke into a song I have no clue about...scratching my head and asked some younger kids what it was and they did not recognize it either...

@Vizsla1  Nobody near me recognized the song, either. But the sound quality on it wasn't great, and people were clapping and making noise.

Well, it worked for me once but now it's broken.

Perhaps it does that after the goal is reached.  But that's an odd way to show it.

NOW IT SAYS $480 OUT OF $500. I WAS GOING TO THROW SOME $$ IN TODAY. DID WE MEET THE GOAL ALREADY OR NOT?!?!!?

Technically I don't think the goal has been met.  But I also think the matching donor hasn't caught up with their part either.

So we're probably good as soon as they get a chance to get on here.  But we could always go over.  

Yes, that was one of the best of the day. Can’t really think of any other good ones.

It was my favorite but I also liked the Rocket Mortgage one where the guy explains all of he different things people were saying. That was funny too. 

How often do you ever see a QB pulled for performance reasons, and how likely is that team to succeed when done? Coaches more or less allow QBs to struggle a bit. The ones that get yank happy rarely succeed.

My understanding is SF does not want his players to be afraid to make a play, or to fear failure. I think that's going to be a dynamic positive teaching environment for all our players.

I think that will happen as well, Husker John.  Scott wants to keep his players encouraged and learning how to improve their craft at the same time. 

However, why wouldn’t a coach pull a qb that is obviously not getting the job done for that particular gam brophog?  There should be no shame in pulling the guy, putting another qb in who also needs to learn and who perhaps IS having a better day.  I’ve seen coaches do that before. Isn’t that what being a team is all about?  

Patrick Mahomes is enjoying himself bigly.

It’s cold there so good for Patrick. 

Further down south they are expecting 3-6 inches of snow. KC will only get about an inch. 

Are not to hate PM. He’s even got a sense of humor. 

#FrostEffect

Nah. Titan effect!

There is a Mr. USA but it's pretty new.

There are also body building contests which I would say are somewhat similar, although they (the ones on steroids) look gross, not handsome.
