  1. 3-D is getting to be the norm anymore. Directv has a handfull of 3-d stations and almost all the new movies will be in 3-D format. Im not a big fan of it myself. Our local movie theater is a non profit group and they have to shell out a ton of money for a new projector otherwise they wont have access to new movies starting in January.
  2. So when we win the Big 12 championship, do you think Bo, Carl, or anyone else makes any comment over the BS with Beebe or the Big 12 refs this year? Just picture it ****IF**** Beebe has the balls to present the trophy this time any parting shots from Bo and crew? Would be epic if it happened but Im sure it wont.
  3. I always park in the north lots by the basketball arena. Went to the Utah game was pretty packed but had no trouble at all for parking. I would show up 3 hours ahead or earlier.
  4. Wow! I would say it will drop to 3 by gameday. That is a crazy spread already.
  5. Thats our logo but the people on the board asked me to give it a little more "flair" you could say. I was thinking of doing either doing the logo in orange on a black shirt or vice versa.
  6. Hi guys, Looking for a little help with a design for my daughters swim team. I totally suck at photoshop but were trying to get a nice looking tshirt made for all the girls. The colors were doing are Orange and Black. If I had the money I would pay for someone to do it so any help would be appreciated. Here is the logo were going off of.
  7. Doh was already posted.... sorry mods can you delete please.
  8. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/ Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to a new generation of fleet-footed quarterbacks: Michigan's Denard Robinson, Auburn's Cameron Newton and Nebraska's Taylor Martinez. All first-year starters, they've ignited their teams' offenses, generated a bevy of highlights and sparked giddy anticipation of more to come. Robinson -- a.k.a. "Shoelace" -- has been the undisputed star of the season's first two weeks. His 186-yard rushing day in the Wolverines' opener against Connecticut proved to be a mere appetizer for Saturday's Herculean performance against Notre Dame, in which he accounted for a staggering 502 yards of total offense (258 rushing, 244 passing) and led a game-winning drive to beat the Irish 28-24. He is currently the nation's leading rusher, regardless of position, and is completing nearly 70 percent of his passes. "I've had some terrific quarterbacks," said Robinson's coach, Rich Rodriguez, "but I don't know if I've had anybody that's had that many yards rushing and passing combined." Not under his watch, at least. Among his previous FBS standouts (Shaun King, Woody Dantzler, Rasheed Marshall and Pat White), only Clemson's Dantzler had a bigger game (517 against N.C. State in 2001), and that was after Rodriguez had left for West Virginia. White came the next-closest, notching 424 in a 2006 game against Pitt. Meanwhile, viewers who tuned in to ESPN last Thursday night got their first taste of Newton, Auburn's 6-foot-6, 250-pound dynamo, who put up more modest numbers against Mississippi State (70 rushing yards, 136 passing) than he did the week before against Arkansas State (171 rushing, 186 passing), despite personally outgaining the Bulldogs, 146-125, in the first half before cooling off. Right now Newton looks a little bit like Terrelle Pryor did earlier in his career (albeit in a completely different offense): capable of moving the chains with a simple scramble, but still clearly a work in progress as a passer. "We have some designed run [plays] that we feel good about, but the thing you really can't account for is the runs that aren't designed," said Auburn coach Gene Chizik. "That's what he brings to the table with his athletic ability. There's obviously been moments where there was much-needed improvement, but for the most part he's tried to do exactly what we've asked him to do." And then there's Martinez, the budding phenom in Lincoln who most of the country has yet to see. In two games against Western Kentucky and Idaho, the redshirt freshman -- a.k.a. T-Magic, a.k.a. T-Mobile, a.k.a. whatever nickname 'Huskers fans dream up next -- has rushed for 284 yards and five touchdowns, including a 67-yard dash Saturday against the Vandals. If White is the default comparison for Robinson, former Nebraska Heisman winner Eric Crouch is for Martinez. That may seem a bit premature for a guy who's yet to face a BCS-conference opponent. (He'll get his first crack Saturday at Washington.) However, Wendell Barnhouse, longtime college writer for the Fort Worth Star Telegram who now works for the Big 12, tweeted this Saturday: "People [are] comparing Nebraska QB Taylor Martinez to Heisman winner Eric Crouch. Here's this opinion: Martinez is faster than Crouch." Crouch, lest we forget, was pretty darn fast when he turned on the jets. Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, note that each of these guys is still just two games into his respective tenure as a starter (though Robinson played at times last season), and faces tougher days ahead. Even with those 502 yards, Michigan went nearly the entire second half without scoring against the Irish. Robinson can't keep running 28 times a game, not just because he might break in half, but because the Wolverines will eventually face faster defenses capable of squeezing his running lanes. Just as White had Steve Slaton and Noel Devine, Robinson will need running backs Vincent Smith and Michael Shaw to become viable zone-handoff threats if Michigan hopes to keep defenses honest. Meanwhile, Newton and the Tigers ultimately needed big help from their defense to fend off mediocre Mississippi State. He figures to be a hot-and-cold guy for the time being. Saturday will be the first chance to see whether Martinez can be as effective against a more respectable foe. He's got the help of a capable I-back in Roy Helu, but it remains to be seen how he'll fare as a passer. But whether next week or next month, chances are all three will be regular fixtures on SportsCenter's top 10 this season, which is a good thing. We were due some fresh highlights. Meet Petersen 2.0
  9. here is what i found. http://www.ketv.com/news/23845547/detail.html The Nebraska Board of Regents will meet Friday to discuss conference affiliation. ESPN reported that the school was making final preparations to announce a conference change and that Athletic Director Tom Osborne had already informed staff members a move was imminent.
  10. Sorry for the double post but am looking for 2 tickets to the baseball game today.
  11. Will be in Lincoln for the spring game and am looking for 2 tickets to the baseball game. I couldent get any on the website last night.
  12. Took my daughter to the game last night, our first one. Even though it was a loss was well worth the 2 hour trip there. Next game I better check the Lincoln weather. It was 75 and sunny when we left Red Oak. We both froze our asses off wont do shorts and a tshirt again in April lol. She spent half the game huddled in the bath room.
  13. Lol what i get for late night posting... Yah it was Jones
  14. Not sure if there is another one out here but here we go. Dont remember the year but my first game was when Calvin Jones** played a hell of a game against Kansas. It was a eithere a kickoff or punt all the way to the house for a touchdown had to be 90 yrds plus. The place was amazing. I still remember to this day wondering why the hell everyone had balloons at a football game..
  15. link They said it couldn't be done. In fact, almost everyone, except for Husker fans, said that it was impossible, that Colt McCoy was too strong, that the offensive line and wide receivers would expose a defense that hadn't played "anyone" yet this season. Todd McShay gave Nebraska a one percent chance of winning the Big 12 championship, and Texas fans didn't even give the Husker's that, saying that Nebraska was the "whipping boy" of the Big 12 South. Some even said Nebraska was at the bottom of the Big 12 South. For 59 minutes and 59 seconds, those fans and McShay looked pretty ignorant. It was Nebraska's D-line that exposed Texas' offensive line. It was the Huskers' secondary that ate up the receiving corps of the Longhorns. And it was the kick-returning of Niles Paul—not Jordan Shipley—that almost made the difference in a game. Then, we come to that last second, that last fateful play that proved Nebraska still wasn't able to overcome years of losing football. Forget about the fact that changing clock time isn't reviewable by rule. Forget about the fact that even Herbstreit and Musberger questioned call after call made by the Big 12 officials. And forget about the fact that no pass-interference penalties were called on Texas' defensive backs for doing basically the same thing Nebraska's did all game. This came down to one second. One play that would define a season, and Husker fans knew which way that play would go even before Bo called the time out to ice the kicker. That's right, it would go Texas' way. Why? Because, that's just the way things went for Nebraska in close games this year—one play, one second, and one turnover away from being a 12-1 team and Big 12 champions. Ironically, it's the number one that defines this season. A one-point loss to Virginia Tech, one fumble inside the five against Iowa State, and one point against Texas that separated this team's good season from being a great one. But in football you have to play above the officials; you can't let a blown call or biased (whoops, that slipped) call get in the way of winning a game. You have to take it out of the officials' hands, and Nebraska didn't do that. You could pick a myriad of plays to separate Nebraska in this game. One foot out of bounds by Brandon Kinnie forced a field goal instead of a touchdown. One more move by Niles Paul could have burst him into the end zone for his second punt return for a touchdown in two games. And one less interception in Texas' territory could have given Nebraska the one win they needed to put themselves back on the map. One. It's the number I will always remember this season. It's the number that will float around in Husker circles until the spring game. Then again until the season opener against Western Kentucky in September of 2010. One. Forever, fans will remember the plays that got away this season—instead of the plays that made a difference. People will forget about the miracle of a fourth quarter against Missouri, or the Gomes' forced fumble in the red zone against Kansas. Instead, they will focus on the one play in the Virginia Tech game, one of the eight turnovers in the Iowa State game, and, last but not least, that one second left on the clock in the Big 12 Championship game. Before we go on blaming refs for the loss, though, an important note must be addressed—Adi Kunalic. Kunalic is probably the worst-feeling Husker this morning. He's probably the one who will relive that moment over and over again until it turns his mind to liquid. That kickoff, instead of going through the end zone, took a freak of a bounce and landed out of bounds. It was something he hadn't ever done before, something he'd never had a problem doing, but he did it. My heart sank, and my head got hot. Angry to the core, I began to realize that, once again, a game like this against a top-10 team would be taken away from us by someone's inability to perform. Then, the next play happened, and Asante, in true Larry form, made the worst tackle a guy can make: the horse collar. That's really where it ended. Even as Colt McCoy lazily rolled out to the right and threw the ball out of bounds, I knew that those two mistakes wouldn't go unpunished. Indeed they didn't. And Texas won. Had Nebraska won, there would undoubtedly be an influx of Texas and BCS fans screaming "foul" because of the lopsided statistics in the game. Texas fans would be up in arms, screaming about losing, despite putting up nearly twice as many yards as the Nebraska offense. The reality of the remaining second on that clock still eats away at Husker fans. Whether it was the right call or not will be debated forever—as long as college football is still around. That's really not the point I'm trying to make here, though. The point is that this season is defined by three plays: one play, one fumble, and one second. It's not often that a season is encompassed in an instant. There are plenty of sports that define themselves on last seconds. Basketball and hockey are the two that come to mind. But even then the season doesn't seem to be defined by these last-second miracles—just the one game. For Nebraska, it's the definition of a season, of a program scratching and clawing its way back into the national spotlight. It's a season that still has the fans in a tunnel but finally able to see the light. It's a season of almost-but-not-quites and a season of unforgettably forgettable moments. Nebraska has one game left to end on a positive note—one more game, one more chance to right some wrongs, one more opportunity to get a 10th victory and momentum into next season. There is one more game for one more man trying to make his last mark on the football level. For Ndamukong Suh and the defense to continue their dominance and for the offense to right some wrongs. If this season is defined by the number one, then there is no better time to rise up than now. With one game to go in a season that could be defined by one second.
