Hell of a name!

If they make an album under this name, I want royalty payments.

I wanted to posit who is Karl Malone’s brother from another mother but then I remembered he was The Mailman and not the Milkman.

YES! It should be an interesting tour. Knappic who is your favorite this year? Think Froome can win it again?

IDK, are they officially licensed and certified scuba instructors 

No, but they probably have flash lights.

Praying for these children, their leader and their families.  So scary!

@Comfortably Numb why don't you have a seat?

Not too many of these special Leathernecks left.  Very instrumental in winning the war in the Pacific. S/F

Heh, that's a coincidence.  I was just thinking about the Code Talkers yesterday.  I was reading about the Hopi fifth world prophecy, and started wondering whether the Hopi language is more indecipherable than Navajo language.  The Hopi and Navajo tribes live in about the same area, in NW Arizona near four corners.  

  Thank you for your service !

Knappic it will be interesting to see if Chris Froome rides this year.  There are rumors that he could be banned because of a disagreement about the asthma drug he uses.  He has a known asthma condition so I don't know why all of a sudden he gets banned?  

@ladyhawke

Even with a known condition he has to get an exemption and it looks like he never got one. There's two reasons for that - his condition hasn't been shown to be so debilitating that he needs the meds or he & his team have been lax and just not gotten it.  I can't imagine the latter being the case with a world-class cyclist/cycling team.  My guess is he's mildly asthmatic and is using the meds as a permissible PDE. Hate to say that, but if this is your job & your life, you get that certificate. Right?

I agree Knappic.  The sport of cycling, unfortunately, has been tainted for a long time.  I think most people knew Lance was doping but he still had to train and he still had to know how to handle the bike. He deserved what he got especially since he lied for so long (I especially feel sorry for his son. The kid defended his Dad to the end then had to find out Lance lied. So sad. ). Lance brought such a heightened awareness to cycling and it would have been so great to have his take of the Tour along with Phil, Paul and Bobke.  (Lance does have a podcast during the tour. )

PLEASE can we schedule them!

They would still find a way to beat us.

We fired Bo

There was, I remember going there, at least trying to go there, as a kid for breakfast as our tailgate.  That was during the 85 season

That Denny's was there at least through the mid-late 90s, as I went there at least once as a UNL student.  I think it's the location of the current Embassy Suites.

Yes, and through the mid to late 90s, as I had more than one post-kegger meal there. 

it's tournament or bust for miles this year. no excuses.

It will be an exciting year for NU basketball. 

@ladyhawke I didn't know Sur le Table did that. I haven't been there in years. I mostly get my cooking tools from Hockenbergs. I'll have to check them out.

@KnappIc

knappic, it's really fun.  You have to pay for it but what a fun date for you and a friend/wife/whatever.  You will leave very full too!  (Sorry about the above post.  After I typed in your name it wouldn't let me type anything else.  Weird!)

  So, how did your chicken turn out?  I'll bet it was really good!

That's a good thing isn't it? I don't miss 90+ Nebraska days.

I'd feel for ya, but... lol, I don't.

Looking at possible or near 100 degree temps down here next week.

The Director of the Athletic Performance Lab and the Director of Sports Nutrition were also let go.   Cleanin house!!!

You hate to let go of guys that have been around for ages, but really they were dead weight, and probably should've been cut years ago.

Kerry McDermott played for the Huskers

I thought the Old Girl was redone just a couple years ago? I'm fairly sure it was done while Riley was here.

I'm pretty sure that's right @TonyStalloni. We toured the facilities a couple months ago and I'm certain they said the stadium and all the practice fields were redone while Riley was there. We didn't actually go outside on those two practice fields but we were in the indoor and outdoor on the main stadium turf and to my untrained eye they all seemed brand new. The outdoor grass field was the only one that looked a little strained but it was March after all.

Was it that recent? Shows you what I know. I remember it was changed in 1984 and 1992 but I can't remember the most recent one.

And there's this:

The hubbub is likely because Gates hasn't even been at Florida a month in a similar position. There's a number of articles doing damage prevention out there covering this...and frankly, Gates seems like a good hire for our team and a good step towards achieving competence two years in a row. 

That, and I can't imagine Florida is happy with Nebraska at all. In the past six months we:

• Hired their #1 Head Football coaching candidate out from under them (contrary to what they claim)
• Skunked their Women's Volleyball team for our fifth National Championship in the sport
• Hired a good assistant coach away from them after being on the job for around a month (though if there's validity to the stories of Gates not being happy, then some of that is on Florida)

Not too shabby.

Hey a good root canal is much better than a bad root canal.

a dentist who works on saturday?

No, he's just jealous he didn't have any of my wonderful liver & onions.

Can't believe it took this long!  This is awesome!

Excellent!

The team with her, Larson and Houghtelling is the best collection of talent ever together in program history, IMO. 

Houghtelling sort of gets the shaft in terms of who gets remembered from those teams. Pavan was the star, and Larson the Olympian, but Houghtelling beat Pavan for PotY in 2005.

Frost was drafted in 1998 as a safety. It has been 26 years since McCant was drafted, the last Nebraska player drafted as a QB.

Yep, Frost drafted as a safety. There was a good story on Sharp & Benning other day about how Frost got Washington to commit to us over ASU. Basically told him he was drafted as a safety and not a qb, and that his best chance to reach the nfl would be at RB which is what we were recruiting him as.

1983 is known as the QB draft.  Six first rounders:  John Elway, Todd Blackledge, Jim Kelly, Tony Eason, Ken O'Brien and Dan Marino.  Husker Trivia:  What NU QB was drafted in 1983?  He was a starter in the NFL for a while.  LINK

You'll have the rosters in a week or so after the game like they did in NCAA. 

You'll be able to get the rosters, but won't have the team names, logos, stadiums, announcers etc. 

I'll have updated rosters for NCAA 14 before the summer is out. 

It's better than what I'm usually called, so... there's that.

Well at least he didn’t call us scruffy nerf herders!

Who's scruffy looking?

@Comfortably Numb This one type of baseball loss hasn't happened in two decades, though. It's old enough to drink. 

Just keep in mind I'm pretty much a bandwagon fan when it comes to Nebraska baseball or basketball. If they're doing good I'll pay attention, if not I pretty much don't care . Now football and volleyball are another story...

UNO beat UNL back when I was in school (Turner Gil playing era,  He played shortstop)  The UNO pitcher walked about 12, but UNL could not get a timely hit.  Stuff happens in sports

I thought this weather means we get a second Christmas, no?

I've been rocking mine for about three years straight now..
