Good luck - I might need it in the near future

Good luck. Had 2 shoulder surgeries in a 2.5 year time frame. Same shoulder. You never realized how much you need 2 arms for things until you can only use one. Once your through the first week its all downhill from there.

Hope it goes well. But realize your chances of a MLB career are probably over now.

Yes they seem to have gotten a fire lit under them at half time. I'm concerned again.

My biggest concern is our offensive line and an immobile quarterback. If we can't protect Mr. Statue or get a running game going....

And they have a great run D

That was a great read!

Wow i didnt know some of that, we are as fans really bad to people sometimes.

One part of the "Husker fans are the greatest" that I am sour on is how we treat our own.  We pride ourselves on welcoming opposing fans to Memorial Stadium and clapping for the visiting team win or lose.  However we can be the most lame, sour, bitter and nasty bunch around to our coaches and players.  The way I look at it is this:  Our coaches are my coaches till they aren't and I will support them.  Same way with players.  The day I am perfect I can expect the players to be faultless and perfect.  Till then and long after their playing days are over they will be a part of the Husker family.

Yep, it was Eichorst.

Maybe it wasn't Eichorst. Yori said she had a chance to stay at NU and chose family.

Thanks, ladyhawke

Hey Dilly Dilly, you have to get one of these!!!  https://imgur.com/gallery/ITAuK

We don't get out to eat very often, as we are busy with kids and their activities.  There are a few locally-owned places in the north suburbs which we try and support.  Our kids are old enough so they don't force us into the Chili's or other big chains when we go out.

ColoradoHusk-we have two grandsons (ages 4 and 16 months) so it’s easier to eat in.  We steer clear of the chains too with the exception of Chilck fil a for lunch!

@ColoradoHusk if you know of any locally owned BBQ joints in the Denver area that are good please share. We've eaten at Bennett's Pit BBQ out in the Stapleton area, around Havanna and I-70 I think, and it's been pretty decent but I really don't know of any others. I think it may even be a chain. Would like to know of any really good authentic BBQ places, seems all I'm aware of are chain places and they typically take shortcuts.

It was an amazing race today.  Riding at 30mph over those granite cobblestones-brutal.  Knappic-I also read a UK publication called The Guardian.  They give a moment by moment breakdown of each stage. 

@ladyhawke

Those cobblestones are no joke. Worst part about my trips to France. My feet still wince at the thought of them.

Too bad for Richie Porte. They shouldn't be riding on those surfaces at all, and now he's out due to those stupid cobbles.

Also, I can commiserate with Froome about this. Been there!

Knappic-I agree with you about the cobbles. I was surprised that Bob Roll was so adamant about leaving them in while Christian V agreed with us.   I felt really sorry for TeJay Van Garderan.  Bright side is that Greg V is still in yellow for BMC and I was really happy for John Degankolb. Rest day tomorrow!

(Have you rode the tour route in France? A friend of mine did that a few years ago. Very cool.)

If it's the recipe from the green bean can, then no. The way my mom makes it awesome though

I'm not really a big fan of green beans because if I am eating green vegetables, it's usually fried cabbage (or boiled/steamed), steamed brussel sprouts, sauteed collards in olive oil with garlic and bacon bits, or grilled okra (or fried).  That's it every time.

I love grilled brussel sprouts with bacon bits. So good! That caramelized flavor is so good!

btw, I was shocked--SHOCKED--to hear Bo disclose an injury during the presser. He usually keeps that sh#t close tot he vest.

Opportunity for Moore and Westerkamp?

Sucks for Jamal. He LIT UP an Illinois DB today on a great block. The ball wasn't thrown his way today but he had an impact - pretty literally, actually.

Holy sh#t people are f'ing stupid.

The offense was stagnant. Doesn't matter how many yards you put up, its pointless if it doesn't turn into points. tOSU's defense created some turnovers at key times. Offense couldn't do sh#t with it.

Freudenschad!

Glad you're safe. You are babe #3 on HB, can't afford to lose you!

I was in a car that rolled on that stretch of road. The driver lost control and slid off I-29. Rolled 1.5 times. (No one hurt though.)

*that was many years ago, btw.

Meh, rather have him then "mr rogers" who does nothing when getting blown out. Twas a good game and it's over, respectable road loss.

Yep. It's all good. We won't be a national contender until we can beat Wisconsin at Wisconsin, Ohio State at Ohio State and Michigan at Michigan. I'm hoping Scott Frost comes home!

We already had a similar "Mr Rogers" and it worked out quite well, the current one...ehhh not so much.

I hope they can win on Sat. (Lol sorry about the repeats. I was writing this on my iPad and it kept kicking me to another page!)

IMO, sometimes a reporter needs to ask a question even if they know they won't get a response. This isn't one of those situations. A coach shouldn't comment on their interest (or lack there of) in another coaching position while they're currently coaching at a school. It's just unfair and wrong, perhaps even unethical, to ask or answer that question. But, it is the elephant in the room. A lot of people seem convinced Frost would be elated to get this job and I'm not so sure.

I'm not sure if he wants either but any comment on a position that's not even open would be disrespectful to the current coach and both fan bases. 

Teachercd you crack me up. I was thinking more of the press as I realize administrators can’t ask. I’m not sure Scott will come or if he is a good fit for NU. (I’m ducking in case I start getting stoned by irate fans!) Yes he’s winning and he’s ranked but who has UCF really played? The Navy game will be interesting. I’m a huge SF fan but unless NU can not only offer Scott big money but also for all of his assistant coaches (he wants to keep the band together according to an Orlando reporter) he probably won’t come. 

I just noticed my stupid spell check changed Ameer to Alert!  Grrr!  I wish there was an edit feature on the status updates as well as a delete feature on the regular board.

6 carries for 14 yards isn't gonna cut it.

Is that all he got? I thought he had an 18 yard run when I first noticed he was in the game?  Maybe I'm confusing him with Nikes Paul, who I also saw got some playing time last night.  

Yeah. It sucks, especially since we beat them head-to-head on their court.

I know! I figured volleyball was like football and there was a tie-breaker!

Minnesota wins the third game. PSU leads 2-1.

Shawn Watson

Tim Beck

Danny Langsdorf

LES MILES!

Yeah, I had thought of Les Miles too.  Wow.  I wonder if Scott would consider him, considering his son is on the team?  But I suspect that this first year, at least, Scott will use all of his own staff and then go from there.  Exciting times folks!

He's uber articulate!  I remember thinking roughly the same about Cody Green.  Hopefully our staff will develop this kid more than Bo's staff did with Cody.

I was impressed with how wel he know the game of football! He was explaining to Damon his favorite play that would be difficult to defend using ‘football lingo’. Wow!  Even Damon was impressed.  I agree that he was very articulate. I can’t wait to see him play. (Shout out to Tristen Gebbia-Tristen went on home visit for Martinez! Tristen is from California as well and shared with Adrian what life is like on campus. Adrian thought Tristen was great and made him feel relaxed. 

@Dilly DillyCody Green was a heisman qb if he beats out TMagic

The Raiders have one more year in Oakland.  They don't start playing in Las Vegas until 2019.

Didn’t Gruden coach them before? (Raiders)

Yep, Gruden was head coach with the Raiders from 1998-2001.  He was then "traded" to the Buccaneers where he was coach from 2002-2008.  He defeated our very own Bill Callahan with in the Super Bowl following the 2002 season.

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! 

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.  

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?  

Doesn’t he sound like a California ‘hey dude’ surfer type?  I laughed out loud when I heard him speak! ‘Hey Dude! Let’s Party! 

Except Sunshine went to South Carolina....

I have to say that Trevor Lawrence is an amazing young man of character. 

(Despite the WAY he talks.)

Anyone who gives kudos to the Lord Jesus Christ not only for their talents but for their life period rates in my book. Well done young man. 

Position coaches, I believe, but not a head coach. 

Also, why no love for Zach Taylor from Nebraska's media department?

@VectorVictor I don't get that.  Why not be proud and splash that all over the internet just like they would with an NFL player?

Congrats !!! 

Congrats Ladyhawke. Enjoy your time with them.

Thanks all! Looking forward to seeing them all over the 4th holiday.
