  1. Voting is closed. Congratulations to da skers!
  2. When I tell my wife, "I gotta go check on that thing with the people from the thing," and she says she doesn't know what I'm talking about, does she REALLY not know, or is she messing with me? How could you not know?

      She's just glad you're not into internets pron. You're not, right?

  3. Second Badger. Hate to see him left hanging.
  4. I typically type my full sentence, or even paragraph, then go back and format if I want to bold or italicize something. Seems easier to keep typing until you're done than to go back and forth between keyboard and mouse.
  5. First thing I thought of when I saw this: Luke Skywalker's Bespin fatigues.
  6. It's not just Nebraska Fan doing this. Pretty much every fan base has someone concerned with this stuff. We are neither unique in this regard nor immune to the foibles of vanity.
  7. Job Description: Offensive Coordinator: 1) Relayer - "The OC" (as he may be called) has to hand down the offensive play call from the Head Coach for it to be implemented in the game. So, this poster is someone who likes to give out new breaking stories or updates to players & coaches, and does it very often. 2) Tactician - The Offensive Coordinator has to sense weaknesses in a defense throughout the whole game and can sense changes quickly enough to call a play that will exploit the opponent. In HuskerBoard-land, this poster is able to find flaws in weaker arguments and rebut it with the most pertinent facts and stats to gain himself "yardage" in the thread. 3) Student of the game - Offensive Coordinators normally start out as a coach in another capacity on a team or several teams, such as QB or WR coach. They can teach the players on the field and call the plays during the game. So, I would have to say there's a lot of experience that must be gained to take this position. Therefore, this poster should be a veteran of the site who has been here long enough to understand the ins and outs of the "offense" in the form of posts and threads.
  8. Head Coach: 1) Teacher - You have come to learn from this guy on a regular basis. He has expert knowledge of Husker football. He is always helpful and willing to help you out with something you need, whether on the boards or PMs...especially newcomers. 2) Play Caller - This guy "runs the show" in his mind. You often see him on HuskerBoard organizing several "audibles" at any given time in a heated topic of discussion. He's been known to get some of his preseason predictions right, and his knowledge of Husker football is second to none. He often sways the opinions of the majority in a discussion thread. 3) Worldly Knowledge - Even though some coaches use a "cheat sheet" with all the plays on them, our Head Coach doesn't need them. This member is active in numerous areas of HuskerBoard, offering insights on various topics already posted, and keeping HuskerBoard informed of breaking news or important subjects. Because of the crucial nature of this position, this member should be a veteran of many years at HuskerBoard.
  9. Running Back: 1) Not afraid to take hits - hits the holes hard and fast and dishes out just as well as he receives. 2) Very consistent - This person gives good information on a constant basis and is dependable when opinions are needed. this person states his viewpoints and does not waver from them. 3) Competitor - Even after fumbling (giving bad advice), this guy will always come back at you the next time with his best. Never afraid of the opposing linebacker (critic), will carry the ball until the cows come home. 4) An "inside runner" - When the holes are made for him, he has to fly through with a quick step. This poster is able to find the inside information, then quickly divulge it to HuskerBoard so we can all "gain yardage!" 5) Ability to "bounce it to the outside" - When the hole isn't there, this guy can use his lateral thinking skills (and lateral movement) to tiptoe the sidelines for a good gain. 6) Catching out of the backfield - When a fellow poster (or his QB) gets in trouble in a topic, the RB has to be able to and bail him out. Short dumpoffs, designed draws, and screens should be easily fielded by this poster. 7) Picking up the blitz - Handles several topics/Mocks/debates/etc... while always prioritizing correctly (reply to a topic first, then worry about debating on the Heisman winner or best college mascot). 8) Reliable - Can be counted on to show up and play hard every week. Won't cough up the ball when taking a hard hit. Please nominate or second the person you feel best exemplifies these traits at HuskerBoard. Ineligible: Carlfense, Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red
  10. Quarterback: 1) Leader - A take charge kind of guy. He starts a majority of the threads here on the board, being a topic starter. 2) Cannon Arm – The QB has a blast visiting HuskerBoard daily. He has an powerful way with posts (shooting at lot of posts at us daily). 3) Offensive Minded - He makes the offense offensive. He may correct you to his way of thinking. Some of his remarks may offend you but he makes you dish it out like he dished on you. 4) Great Size - The ideal "pocket passer" QB should have great size - 6'2" to 6' 5". This gives them the ability to see over the line and take big hits from defenders. Therefore, this poster should have a good volume of posts. We're not looking for ones that say "I agree" or "That's funny" though... These posts should all have good quality and stand above all other "defenders." 5) Field Vision - He has to see what the defense is giving him and make the best of the situation. That means our QB reads pretty much all of the posts and gives what he feels to be the best answer/comment to the question - and many times it is the most noteworthy comment of the thread! 6) Scrambling Ability - The QB should be able to "scramble when flushed out of the pocket" by an odd question. This poster can quickly answer the question posed from his own knowledge of Husker football or experience. Please nominate or second the person you feel best exemplifies these traits at HuskerBoard.

  11. See, I know you're not saying that about Le Tour. Because that would be wholly incorrect. Best athletes on the planet.
  12. That was a good team we faced tonight.
  13. Exactly. You're an old fart, tschu. Sorry to break it to you, but it's better you find out now.
  14. I really like Le Tour. I started watching when LeMond was riding, mostly because it was the most interesting thing on Wide World of Sports back when I wasn't so interested in baseball. The Greatest Ever Tour de France was the year Lance Armstrong gave Jan Ullrich "The Look" on L'Alpe d'Huez in 2001. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHJErrp4eOw
  15. skers, are you talking about your "why has Bo changed" question? I can think of about a dozen reasons, not the least of which are: He's growing in his job, he's been taking advice from Osborne, he's mellowing with age, he's becoming more comfortable in the role of head coach, he's realized he has anger issues on his own, he's concerned with his image..... How many is that? I don't know that the silence meant you were right. I'd say it had more to do with the fact that most people are out at a bar or curled up on the couch with their girl than anything else. It's just sad old farts like you and me that are stuck here at our computers. But I'm keeping the site safe from spammers. And Badger.
  16. It's amazing how many coeds will fall for that line. Four in one night is my record. Five if you count Badger.
  17. His full name is Terwilliger Schulhoffenstein. I would have thought that was rather obvious.
  18. It was supposed to imply wry humor. Are you sure you're reading that correctly? Maybe you've had some....
  19. No, because again, I'm just some guy asking you questions.
  20. You people? What do you mean, you people? Why are you arguing with yourself? For comic relief. You know, sometimes I think you take yourself, and your moderator position on this board, a little too seriously. Yeah, because me asking you a random question is all about being a Moderator. Have another drink.
