      I feel you, @Redux. After the NIU loss, my Cowboys got blown out by the Donkeys. Then after the demoralizing defeat on Saturday, the Cowboys managed to s#!t the bed and blow another second half lead.

      I should become a Cubs fan just to jinx all my bandwagon friends.

      Yous guise need to pick better NFL teams to support. Of course the boys got blown out by the Broncos :P

  2. Gary Anderson would have been due $12.7 million from his contract, but so the school & players could "move on" he waived it?  No way.  There's a Paul Harvey moment coming from this story.

      Maybe there was some minimally acceptable performance clause that waived it for him?

      Just heard about this too.  Interesting.

      Is the question- "Why did Gary Anderson's wife kick him in the nards?"

  3. About 90% of the people posting on here right now sound drunk & miserable.

  4. Can't wait for the wave of name change requests for these new Frost-oriented accounts that are being created these past few days.

      Wow I butchered that.


      "How's that Frosty treating you, Cecil?"

      It'll be my alt!

  5. The downtown location of Lazlo's had a fire this morning. No word on damage yet, but fire crews seem to have gotten there pretty quickly and contained the damage.

      That really sucks for them....and right before a huge football weekend.

  9. There will be a press conference today at noon to announce charges of fraud and corruption in college basketball.  Federal criminal charges have been brought against ten people, including four college basketball coaches, as well as managers, financial advisors, and representatives of a major international sportswear company.

      Interesting...I thought Knapplc was making a commentary on Miles' tenure at DoNU before I opened up the status invite and read the whole thing. :D

       

      ...but yeah...this looks like this is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

      Auburn has a basketball team?

  10. Sounds like LaVonte David's injury isn't as bad as initially feared. They were afraid he was going to be out 4-6 weeks, but the MRI makes it look like it'll be much quicker.

      Good deal. Hated seeing him go down against my Vikings.

  11. That "1990s" comment was said tongue-in-cheek, but it'll be the cynic's takeaway from that entire press conference. Here we go.

  12. Holy crap you guys. Video from the Mexico earthquake.

     

     

  13. My sources tell me NIU is wearing Surrender Whites today. Huskers will be in their traditional home jerseys.

    1. Redux

      By Husker logic they should give up close to 700 yards

  14. There are now FIVE Garth Brooks concerts scheduled for Lincoln due to ticket demand. I'm not even a fan of his music, but that's amazing.

      That's crazy sounds like Kid Rock or Em in Detroit. They both just play for like a week staright here. 

       

      I love old Garth songs. His new one is pretty forgettable...

      Eh- some fun songs like Callin Baton Rouge, Beaches of Cheyenne, Much Too Young (actually really good) but nothing like George.  I'm still finding songs from him that I've never heard of but instantly love.  

  15. In good Husker news over the weekend, the #12 Husker Volleyball team swept #11 UCLA not once, but twice.  The #22 soccer team trounced Pitt 3-0.

  16. Why didn't the border guard allow the llama into the country?

     

    Spoiler

    His llamaphobia

     

  17. Ohio State's pass defense is worse than ours. We're 129th in the country. They're 130th, by 13 yards.

  18. Anyone rethinking those Diaco-centric names yet? 906 yards of offense & 78 points in six quarters.

      Any suggestions? El sieve D?

      kinda like it but even a sieve has some resistance to flow.

  19. Why are natures most destructive things also some of its most beautiful? Irma, and Harvey before it, gave us some fantastic images. Wildfires are destroying tens of thousands of acres out west, but the imagery from some of the photographers covering them is amazing.

  20. Nebraska is going to retire Jordan Larson's number at the Minnesota match this year. She'll become the 8th Husker Volleyball player to have her number retired.

     

    Not bad for a kid from small-town Nebraska. :thumbs

      Sorry!  I just thought it was better than starting a thread.  I can delete some.

  22. Did we ever get an answer about the 10-second runoff at the end of the first half?

      I still wanna know how we get flagged because they tackled their own QB

    3. whateveritis1224

      whateveritis1224

      Davis did rough the passer, he hit the QB back into the Tackle and then the QB fell over.  That one was more a foul that it was not.

       

      Also my understanding that as long as a helmet is not forced off someones head because of a foul that is caused (hands to the face or facemask), then the runoff should have happened.

      The holding call that negated that big run really hurt us. We looked to be putting the game away, but then ended up punting instead.

  23. Great news from Arkansas State's Head Coach Blake Anderson after his wife's hurried surgery on Monday:

      That's great news. Happy for his family.

  25. Sous vide machine experiment #5. French Dip made from previously sous vide'd chuck roast. It was excellent. This is exactly what this machine was made for.

      Be sure to sear the meat after cooking sous vide, which you probably are, but I know a couple people who weren't. Also, the texture/moisture varies greatly depending on cooking time and temp. Chef Steps website talks about the time/temp for a lot of meats and how they turn out as far as texture and moisture. And just to make you hungry:

      You're so lucky you have a machine! I love those sous vide egg bites with bacon from Starbucks! Have you tried eggs yet?

      I have not done eggs. I haven't been proactive in finding recipes since using the sous vide is so time-consuming.
