    I wonder if this influenced Lee Barfnecht to retire:  http://www.wowt.com/content/news/Omaha-World-Herald-eliminates-23-jobs-including-10-layoffs-491410312.html

      Of course. I mentioned this in the thread about Lee's retirement.

    I’m sure the answer to this question is buried somewhere in the 15 page Gebbia thread but I’m going anyway: Did anyone else hear that Gebbia didn’t want to leave Nebraska but his Dad wanted him to leave. This is sad-nothing like helicopter parents.

      It's a mixture of that and coaches hounding him once Adrian was named starter. Coaches are just as concerned with tracking guys they lost in the recruiting trail for reasons like this. I am sure coaches called him and his dad and explained why transferring now was better.

    I’m watching The Pride of the Yankees.  Wow. Lou Gehrig was an amazing baseball player. This is probably my favorite sports movie.

    If Michigan pulls off the win tonight the Huskers have the satisfaction of knowing that we beat them this year. (Beat the NIT champs-Penn St. As well.)

      And we beat the CBI Champ as well. North Texas.

      It's funny, Adam Cariker said that he hopes Michigan wins the NCAA Championship because then they will win a true championship unlike the one in 1997! :lol:

      Once again Michigan goes to great lengths just to disappoint us Nebraskans.  Way to go Meeechicken!!

    Is it just me or did Adrian look injured?  He was SO off today!  He looked like he was either physically injured or wasn't feeling well. (Flu?) Our O-Line needs some major work but our defense looked pretty decent.  Those penalties killed us.

      I also wondered if they worked a lot on his throwing mechanisms over the summer.  He seemed to lack confidence.

      He looked like he received really bad news right before kick off or something. Just kinda distracted.

    IT'S GAME DAY!!!! GO BIG RED!!!!

    (Can you tell I was a cheerleader in my youth! Lol). I want our boys to win today just for them! Just for the fact that they've worked so hard and have not quit even when they were pummeled!  GBR!

    It’s a thing of beauty to watch Scott Frost teach on the sidelines. He was talking with Martinez after the last 3 and out and you can tell he was teaching. 

    It was so refreshing vs watching the previous coaches who screamed at players or simply did nothing. GBR!:bigredn:

    It’s Husker Day at Coors Field here in Denver. I bought the coolest hat-It is purple (Rockies colors) with Huskers written in script on the front, Go Big Red on the side and the CR in the back. FUN!

      macroboy, the 25th anniversary team intros were very cool.  The crowd went wild on every player.  They showed each player up on the big electronic board. I'm not that familiar with the Rockies but the crowd sure loved them.

        There were some Husker cheerleaders there and Herbie Husker was there as well.  Lots of folks wearing red or the 'N' on hats and T-shirts.  Frost Alert t-shirts were seen as well.  Beautiful day for a ball game although we left after the 6th inning. Kind of glad we did as the Marlins hit a grand slam home run in the top of the 7th and scored 5 runs!!

    Just read that Rick Neuheisel (sp?) is interested in the Oregon St. job-It just hit me as funny/interesting. http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/21255973/rick-neuheisel-interested-oregon-state-beavers-open-coaching-job

    Just saw Ant Man and The Wasp. Loved it! Nice little fun break from reality. But! Make sure you stay until after the credits for what comes next!

    Knappic did you see this?? The Tour de France won’t be the same without him. I always figured Phil (Ligget) would go first. So incredibly sad:(

      We really should be discussing this on the football board and how Ligget's passing will impact the Nebraska football team.

      I’m glad you agree VectorVictor except it was Paul Sherwin who passed away not Phil Ligget:D

      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.

      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!

       

       

    4. ladyhawke

      ladyhawke

      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.)

    Leaving sunny San Juan for the freezer of Omaha. San Juan has recovered nicely from Hurricane Maria. We were here last year and it was a mess. 

    The cruise was great. We heard Omaha got 8 inches of snow. Is that true? Wish you all were here!

      San Juan was the first to be rebuilt because it's a tourist destination. Everywhere else...it's still months to years away from the people I work with on the island. 

      And what the hell happened to you Omaha that you keep getting dumped on? Hell, you're only four inches away from having a white Canadian Jamacian-style rapper call you Informer.

    Looks like our Rex gets a Super Bowl ring! I’m not a Patriots fan but love that Rex! GBR!

      Can't believe he has a Super Bowl ring and that he also contributed and was definitely a part of it all.  He so deserves it.

      I agree! I also read that Jack Hoffman was at the game! Team Jack continues :)

      This reminded me of the time when Kansas was #1 and lots of people (including me!) picked them to win it all and they got beat in like the second game!!  Well, at least this Dance is entertaining!  (I love those Charles Barkley/Spike Lee/Samuel L. Jackson commercials!)

      That was such an exciting game to watch!  Michigan didn't know what hit them!  They played such smart basketball.  I just hope they can continue to play that way.

    Nice listing of the 2018 I drafted free agents and where they went. Some Nebraska kids on this list:  https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2018/4/28/17293694/nfl-draft-udfa-signings-tracker-results-2018

    O am a Happy camper this evening!  We found a Tony Roma's restaurant here in Denver!  We used to have one in Omaha during the 90's but they all of a sudden closed!  It was so fun!  Great Onion Loaf, baked potato soup and baby back ribs.  BUT! No dirt cup for the kids! Lol   We also found out there is one downtown as well. Good times!

      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.

    3. ladyhawke

      ladyhawke

      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!

    4. JJ Husker

      @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.

    Penn State fans are livid! “It’s like the 2012 Nebraska game all over again.” Indiana came back and beat Penn State in overtime.
