Damn. Grant Imahara died. He was 49. Sounds like an aneurysm.

Was it 2012 when we beat Penn State in Lincoln running basically the same pitch play to the right side 25 times?

@Mavric I see what you did there.

So, we just picked up a guy for this year? Darius Moore, out of IWCC?

Rest In Peace Ian Holm, who played Bilbo Baggins in LOTR.

If you could have one world-class talent, that you'd never make a dime from, but would just be for you to enjoy, what would it be?

I'm assuming the parameters would include your can give away your talent for free/friends and family can enjoy it so I'd go with being a world class saxophone player. Pianist is a good call too @ladyhawke.

Who is the last 2020 scholarship for? Per this article, there's one scholarship left (and it cites Nadab Joseph as a target), but it seems to imply that Spielman's scholarship would be open as well.
Who would that be for? A current walk-on given a final-year scholarship for his hard work? A recruit?

So @Mavric we could not take a grad transfer wide receiver this cycle? If Nadab Joseph comes here of course.
-
Yes, the limit is now 25 new signees per cycle (class). We've already taken 24. So the one scholarship mentioned in the article @knapplc posted above is for anyone new to the program. We could still give unused scholarships to walk-ons up to the 85 max but 25 is the limit for any one year.

Prince would have been 62 today.

Today is the 40th anniversary of the tornado outbreak that wrecked Grand Island. Barely remember this, just that everyone seemed kinda dazed by the news.
-
Same here with Dreisbachs. IIRC the tornado got them and another time they had a bad fire. One of those did them in, just don't remember which it was.
Our JrHS and HS basketball and football teams would eat at Dreisbachs on road trip games seems like about once per year whenever we played at GIHS or sometimes Kearney. Their chicken was the best.

How many masks do you have?
I have three, all made for me by friends/family. One super heavy one with Star Wars art on the front and flannel on the inside, one with some new-age looking art pattern that's mostly orange, and one more bright orange one with ties instead of elastic bands.

Have about 40 cheap disposable surgical masks left and 40ish more washables on the way. Relax, they're not all for me. A few each for everyone in the fam and the rest for my employees at work. The cheapo disposables don't hold up or last very long. Also have 4 N95's with face seal and exhale vents, one for everyone in the family. The face seals were starting to dry rot so I didn't think anyone would appreciate them being donated. Those are all I had at work when this hit. I used mine a few times early on but am just wearing the cheapos when I go out now. However I shouldn't refer to them as cheapos as I got them on Amazon at about 4x normal cost....but they are all I've been able to get my hands on so far.

What's up with tweets embedding differently today? Was there a software update overnight?
- Show previous comments 9 more

Still embedding but just at the compact size. It will get ready to post and you can see it looks normal but then after the page reloads they post just fine but post in the compact unusual looking size. This issue only happens on chrome however. I tried it on MS Edge and of course. Works and looks just fine...

Happy Husker Day 2020! Today we celebrate our 2019 record (5/7). Here's hoping Husker Day is sometime in the fall next year!

Is Chili & Cinnamon Rolls Nebraska's "signature dish?"
- Show previous comments 37 more
-
How has no one yet pointed out that multiple states think that cinnamon rolls and chili is their unique thing? A quick Google search turns up more mentions of Iowa and Kansas than Nebraska. People in South Dakota also think they are special for having had it in the school cafeteria. It's just a weird Midwest thing.
Runza is the obvious answer for signature Nebraska dish. It's just not something you see much anywhere else, but everyone who has spent any time in Nebraska knows damn well what it is.

Noah Vedral to the transfer portal. Drat.

Happy 4:20 on 4/20.

What is your basic sports skill fail?
Mine is, despite watching football for forever, I cannot throw a spiral. Just utterly fail whenever I try.

I was at a 5 day baseball camp in middle school and on opening night testing, I was at the speed gun and tried stopping my arm mid throw which resulted in a spiral fractured humerus. Snapped in half and sounded like the loudest cracked knuckle you could imagine. Ended up discovering a unicameral bone cyst.

Everything I'm reading says the next two weeks are going to be tough. Stay strong, Husker friends.

Looking like the peak will be late this month. But it's worth remembering that the peak will arrive at different times in different areas. More rural areas that aren't even on the radar right now will probably be the last to be hit, but might ultimately be among the hardest hit.

Looking like the "Nebraska peak" (I'm assuming Omaha/LNK peak, sry rural people) is still 18 days out. Which is a huge bummer. Lots of good research in here -
-
Tre Bryant may have had to leave football behind, but his skills clearly don't end on the field. Good stuff from one Husker to another.
-
I've had tickets to all three games Nebraska has canceled in the past 50 years. 2012 & 2020 Spring Games, and the 2018 Akron game.
I also have my tickets for the 2020 season on order.
Maybe I'm the bad luck.

You guys I've been giving this plague thing some thought for a bit and I'm going to be honest with you. I don't like it.

How many tickles does it take to make an octopus laugh?
Give up?
It's ten. Ten-tickles.

What food do you wish you'd stocked up on, but didn't?
For me, it's frozen pizza. I'm out. Love that stuff, especially Tombstone Pepperoni.

@man eating mastodon I have to fight myself not to buy those Red Baron frozen breakfast mini pizzas everytime I go to the store. They are so good!
My freezer isn't too big so I can't stock up on too much stuff which is both a good and bad thing I suppose. As long as grocery stores stay open I'm good. I tend to hit the stores at non traditional hours to avoid crowds anyway.
