  1. The Union on campus has ousted Runza, and is replacing it with Steak N Shake and a Chik-fil-A. I think that'll be the only Steak N Shake in Nebraska.

      Dr. Gay, one of the physics professors (the same one that did Football Physics on Husker Vision back in the day), used to eat at the union BK everyday. I think he even had office hours there.

      @Comfortably Numb Agree about Freddy's.  Love that place.  I have one less than 1/2 mile from my house.  I have to resist the temptation daily.

      @darkhorse85 Yeah, that place is dangerous. Their steak burgers and fries are great but that Chicago Dog Freddy's style...drool. Love those things.

  2. Go vote for your Huskers.

     

     

  3. CBS just used an interesting clip to promote tomorrow's bracket show. It's Husker Fans celebrating getting into the NCAA tourney from 2014.

      Probably just baiting us. There were a few team that win today that weren’t suppose to. 

  4. NFL Ref Ed Hochuli is retiring.

  5. Eric Crouch is joining the staff at Midland as Asst. Football Coach, working with Running Backs & Special Teams.

     

    Not bad for a kids on an NAIA roster to have a Heisman-winning coach.

      I wonder if he has aspirations for taking over at Millard North when Petito finally retires?

      I can't believe NU never found a spot for him. Good grief! Good work Midland. I send Eric best wishes on his new gig.  GBR!

  6. The Paterno trailer looks a little lit.

     

    Some NSFW language.

     

     

  7. Are pop tarts ravioli? Why or why not?

  8. WBB Coach Amy Williams has been named a semifinalist for the Naismith Award.

     

    Last season the Huskers finished 8-22. This year they're 19-8 with two regular season games to go.

      Damn well warranted, too. She should win it. 

  9. Will MBB make the tournament? BTN Stats Guy says... maybe.

      An ESPN stats guy says if the season ended right now, Nebraska would be in a play-in game. Look for the 12 seed in the bottom right bracket.

      Thank you!  Something to watch after the Big Red Wrap Up.  

  12. Friend just tried to get Spring Game tickets at "best available" and got an error message.

     

    May have already sold out? If so, it's the first ever sellout of the Spring Game.

      They've only been on sale for half an hour...

      Officially sold out, less than an hour after they were available to the general public.

       

       

  13. Had to try three times to get my Spring Game ticket order to go through. Lost good seats in West Stadium twice, ended up two rows back from where our season tickets are in Section 35.

     

    Not a great day for the UNL ticket website.

      I'm trying to call the ticket office about getting basketball tickets for tonights game at Minny (angling to see if I can get those money seats behind the bench).  Either get a busy tone or put on hold only to be hung up on 15 minutes later due to "heavy call volume"

    3. knapplc

      There's almost no chance of calling the ticket office today.

    4. Red Five

      Red Five

      I have realized that.  I started calling at 8 am when it opened and was put on hold even then.  I didn't know it was spring ticket day.  It was on my "to-do list" yesterday, but I got busy.  Off to stub hub I guess...

  14. I don't get the sudden resurgence in interest in the Natalie Wood case. She died over 30 years ago. What new evidence could they have found?

      In 2012 Woods’ cause of death was changed from accidental to undetermined triggering a cold case team being assigned. The team is trying to get some publicity generated and maybe someone will come forward with information- like Duvall or Walken sharing information with confidants, that may help solve the case. Neither Duvall or Walken will talk to investigators, although it was stated that Walken did share some pertainent information that will remain confidential for now and he is not considered a suspect

      Things I’ve recently read about Hollywood and celebrities, which aren’t on public record yet, will make any human disgusted with the power, abuse, and coverups. 

  15. Nebraska residents, have you ever heard of Unadilla Bil?

  16. I have to buy bourbon as an ingredient for a recipe. Can anyone recommend a decent brand? Preferably one I can get at a local grocery store.

      Jim Beam should be good. It's got a nice spicy note and isn't terribly sweet. I used it for a bourbon sauce on burgers and in marinade for pulled pork. It worked really well.

      I went with Maker's Mark.  They had a smallish bottle for about $19. I only need a cup.

       

      It smells awful. I think bourbon consumption is mostly based on a dare.

    4. ZRod

      ZRod

      Maker's Mark is pretty good. All whiskeys smell funky, but bourbon taste the best. I could never drink it neat but in an old fashion, Manhattan, or just some ice it's good stuff.

  17. So, uh... Amy Williams is doing kinda well these days. WBB is up on Iowa 68-34 midway through the third quarter.  From 8-22 last year to 16-6 so far this year.

      I'm still upset about the fallout of Yori leading to Amy leaving USD.

  18. Someone on the Twitter is trying to convince people Guns N Roses was a Hair Band.

     

    That person is crazy.

      Did someone really say that Pantera was a hair band? Lol..... I know they started technically as a Glam Metal band that leaned closer to Thrash Metal than Hair or Glam.... but that changed pretty quick once Anselmo joined the band

      Glam/Power metal.  Two of the cringiest subgenres.

      I think that Storm Chasers show is cursed. There's now three people who were on it who are dead.

       

  20. Oklahoma Joe's in the Haymarket is closing after less than 6 months in business. Tried it once. It was OK, nothing special. Nothing about it made me want to go there instead of Phat Jack's or Lippy's.

      No I mean is it the same franchise? It's my understanding that they only have franchises in Kansas

  21. Last time I was online the Pats were getting killed & ViQueens fans were all #skol this & #skol that.

      @ZRod because before this year, nobody had ever heard it before because the Minnesota Vikings don't have a WINNING tradition.

      I've been hearing "skol" for years and years now. I have no idea what the problem is. It's just a motto, or whatever.

    He failed that assignment.

  24. So... James Palmer Jr is kind of a big deal.

      That would be more believable if I'd ever heard that name before.

  25. Walmart is raising their base wage to $11/hour and offering paid parental leave. Almost zero large American employers offer this kind of leave. Hopefully other employers follow suit and this becomes the norm in America - we're the only major industrialized nation that doesn't offer this. American employers seem to punish families for having children. I always thought it was super weird.

      knapplc, maybe start a thread about paid paternal/maternal leave. I think it is an interesting discussion to be had. I don't know how I feel about paid time off that isn't earned and saved.

    3. StPaulHusker

      StPaulHusker

      People need to realize that large corporations do not give a rats ass about their employees and anything they do positive isn't for their employees benefit and there is a negative side to appease shareholders.

      So I talked to my wife about this last night, she still has friends stuck at the mart, said that yes minimum is increased but everyone's hours are being slashed and paid time off has been completely redone so that it is very difficult to accrue and even more difficult to use and impossible to use without threats and being yelled at.
