Very cool. I’ll bet he was very nice. 

It was super brief. I shook his hand and said I'm a big fan. He said thanks.

I've now met two Ghostbusters. Met Bill Murray at the 2001 Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Wow, didn't realize this... fall ball, yeah!!

YES!!!!!

You know it's slow round these parts when status updates stay on the front page for one full month.

some of those beer cans are tough to open.  glad you have the power to do it without getting your AK

If you're gonna spend money on it might as well enjoy it! It's a picture ffs. That being said I enjoy my ak over a 15

Was it a good day?

Couple times today it has taken about 30-60 seconds for my post to actually post 

Pfft 30-60 seconds. That’s the minimum amount of time required for Iowegan comprehension of anything.

Yall need to switch to Windows NT (aka Windows 4).  I swear you won't have any problems with ads.  Lag time might be on par tho....

@Red Five that would be incorrect.  Daylight savings should never start.

Give me light in the mornings!

f#&% changing the time.

Nobody needs light in the morning. I don’t really wake up until 10 or 11.

I was in Harper Hall.  I remember NU played at Kansas the night it started snowing.  IIRC, we held Kansas to something like 50 total yards.

School was cancelled for 2 or 3 days following it.

I was transferring commands from South Carolina to Hawaii and just happened to be staying in Lincoln a couple days to see my friends there and got stuck in a hotel room for an extra 2 days. Ended up being a several days long party.

@teachercd those things probably describe 85% of your nights so I'm not sure that narrows it down too far.

@Red Five So .... I think I was in Harper too.  But apparently I don't really remember, though I am getting old.

This is the best news I've heard since they fired Scott.

Anyone know what his next step is? You gotta make a living and I don’t think a HS assistant football job pays very well. Gotta be something.

Is he possibly joining Severe on Big Ted Wrap Up?

Time for Charles and the mistress to take the reins. 

So this is like the British version of the Kardashians?

My kid said it best:  "Why is everyone so sad about the Queen lady?  A lot of meaningless people died today..."

It didn't crash the site for once. So there's that

Amen to that!!!!!

Buncha squares around here.

Great! Now I’m a round peg in a square hole.

that is hard to believe.  it already feels like it's over.

It felt over a week ago. I guess these next two games will determine if we really miss it in the off season. Something tells me we’ll all be glad it’s over for this year.

45 days since Nebraska last won a football game.

Nasty line but this game should not even be close.

Sadly though, with northwestern it usually is.

It's going to be super interesting to see how Nebraska blows this one. 

Beef Jurgy is good, but you know it's not a Slim Jim because Slim Jims are known for their good snaps.

Well yeah. I'll have to get my daughter to pick some up for me.

I’m not too thrilled that it’s going to be a common lager, probably along the lines of Bud, Coors, Miller etc. But even if it’s not the best beer, I will save and reuse the bottles for some of my home brew. Can’t think of anything better than serving my own beer in Dear Old Nebraska Brew bottles during Nebraska football games. The trick will be washing and sanitizing the bottles without damaging the labels.

UNL should allow alcohol in the stadium but only if it's made in Nebraska.

Dang, 5 years!  The days are long but the years are short.

I've read articles about the great guitar players in rock music,  Prince is sometimes mentioned but never to high, thing is the guy played damn near every instrument in his music,  if he would have stayed with just a guitar I think he's looked alot differently,  not that it matters to me Prince was a genius 

He was an artist that I liked his music when I was young.  But, never really understood what a great talent he really was till close to his death.

Hang that banner!!!!!

Huskers: 2021 National Champions 

A long time ago there was a bowling alley under the student union on main campus.  I never bowled there, but I remember seeing it.    

GBR! A wins a win no matter what sport is played! 

Tell me again why we fired him?  

 Wish him all the best.  He's a great guy that I hope has big success somewhere even though it didn't work out here.  @NUance it was time for a change.  Our record since hasn't been good.  But, I think it is headed in the right direction with a good coach.

I'm also happy for Sammy.  I'm sure he will enjoy the weather there.

Yes we did/do count it as a flu

death if you have the flu and die from complications, but it's complicated because many people don't get ill and seek treatment as soon as they would with COVID so they no longer test positive.

What are seasonal influenza-related deaths?

Seasonal influenza-related deaths are deaths that occur in people for whom influenza infection was likely a contributor to the cause of death, but not necessarily the primary cause of death.

I don't understand the point of this skepticism. You just said it's extremely deadly. COVID causes a number of complications that ultimately lead to death, and comorbidities contribute to the severity of the disease as well. People with COVID can develop a multitude of complications from pneumonia, blood clots, renial issues, heart problems, organ failure, etc. Those all count as COVID deaths.

Let's say the number were exaggerated by 4 times. That's still almost double the average deaths in a normal flu season.

I threw a ton of money in the stock market when everything was down a year ago.  So it's actually been a pretty good year for me financially.   Which is actually kind of hard to be proud about with so many people struggling. 

@The Dude wish I would have thrown more in.
