  1. Not happy to hear Jon Stewart is taking a hiatus from the Daily Show. That will be a long 12 weeks, even with John Oliver taking over.

      It'll be one sad, sad day when Stewart steps down for good. He's one of the greatest sociopolitical comedians ever. Forget comedians, he knows more about current events than most CNN/Fox people do

      That does suck, don't they usually take a 2 week break in the summer anyways? They seem to do that every 6 months or so.

      Holy Moly! Me and Tschu are in complete agreement! The Daily Show is one of about two shows I watch religiously.

      I posted a thread about this in Other Sports. It has an article from Yahoo. Check it out.

  3. Watching the PSU game on replay on BTN, Ed Cunningham needs to leave the booth. Going on and on and on and on about targeting. Call the game and shut up, Ed.

      How did he have time to talk about targeting around telling you about all the injuries he's had?

      Didn't he apologize to UNL after the 2010 season? I remember him calling quite a few of our games and every single game had a 'targeting' remark.

  4. In a straight line, it's 4,159 miles from North Korea to Finland. You could drive from one country to the other and only pass through one other country.

  5. Venric Mark out for today's game. Kain Colter available in emergency only. If those two are out or slowed when they come to Lincoln in two weeks that game gets a bit easier.

      I am quite aware that not every team is fully healthy and probably no where close to it. Doesn't mean I want them to be severely hampered coming into a game with us, because, well it is just an excuse and I believe in this thing called "the better team winning"

      I'm tired of the Huskers stumbling through their game with Northwestern. I want to see something like 38-13. The way God intended.

      Lol at my remark about the pricing? If you seriously think that the price of oil is directly linked to the price of gas and diesels, you couldn't be more wrong. I am a terminal engineer for a petroleum pipeline and I deal with pricing everyday. Just because a barrel of crude goes up doesn't mean that refined products will go up also. It is one of those myths that people tend to think.

  7. Watching the 1997 title game and at the end of the 3rd quarter it's 35-9 Nebraska. Aaron Taylor is on camera as they go to commercial, and if you read his lips he says, "They don't even want to play defense anymore."

      @Ebyl: I would have loved to see Michigan get their shot. They wussed out of the Bowl Alliance and slunk off to the Rose Bowl. Chickens. 16 years later and my ass is still chapped over that.

      That Michigan defense would have been a fun match up to watch. Their offense vs NU defense not so much, curb stomping style

  12. In a hearing before a Senate Commerce Committee yesterday, a Senator told NCAA President Mark Emmert, "I can't tell whether you are in charge or whether you are a minion" to the schools and college presidents. "If you're just a monetary pass-through, why should you exist?"

      It freezes well. Make a double batch, put about 1/4 cup in individual freezer bags, then pull one out when you want jerk chicken. Thaw and marinate overnight, grill or bake, and boom!

      I'm going with the jerk chicken because I have no clue what arepas is.

      Are you talking about the one ball zoogs? I was joking about Gronk

    3. zoogs

      zoogs

      Yeah, the one ball thing. That came from some guy, and then some other guy said "his league sources" said that first guy was wrong. Although it seems they didn't actually record those halftime measurements, and it's still not clear where they took the measurements, so this has the feeling of it's going to go nowhere. Whether there was actual wrongdoing, or not.

    4. zoogs

      zoogs

      There's even speculation that the "one ball" was given some extra deflating by the Colts after they got their hands on it and before reporting to the officials. That's probably as legitimate a conspiracy theory as the one about the bathroom man doing a discrete 90-second ball doctoring session, though.

      There was a screen pass to Ozigbo that was a long gain, as well as the pass and run to Moore that was a long TD play.

      Does the study account for a 22 scholarship increase? That would make a difference too, I would think. Appalachian State would be a good comparison for any study, a team with similar success and made the jump. If Appalachian State can sit #2 in their conference,

    4. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      Yeah, there's a lot this study isn't accounting for, including the increase in scholarships, coaching, and 'intangibles'. I find it hard to believe they'd be anything lower than third in the Big XII or in the bottom half of the Pac-12 with their style of play, home-field advantage, and their ability to play extremely well on the road.
