  1. For those claiming the non-believers need to prove God doesn't exist, can you show me how this is done? For example, can you prove the Jedi don't exist?
  2. Don't apologize for the bump. This is a very cool thing.
  3. I think this is the single biggest reason he hasn't caught on with an NFL team. A quote from his Arena coach, from this article:
  4. This is a more accurate statement. Those trophies you see when you walk in the door of North Stadium? They're pretty. But they're not the actual trophies. The real ones are upstairs, safe from carpet accidents.
  5. Surely I'm not the only one who thought this post was leading up to a pair of wine goblets and some iochane powder after reading the first couple of lines, am I?
  6. Never even seen one tornado. Very jealous.
  7. Already talking about it in the Bo Statement thread.
  8. It's even more glorious in person. However, I think Tood's beard may have been the best facial hair of the group. Very well put together. He's as smooth as you'd think from reading his posts. darkhorse is someone who's going to have to post more. Had a good time talking to him before everyone else arrived. Stop lurking! I want to read what you have to say! Crewe was as cool as I thought he'd be. Had a great time talking journalism with Enhance and GMoose. I secretly think we have a chance at getting GMoose to come back. He loves HB. Can't quit us.
  9. Actually, I was told it was pretty decent. But it was exposed.
  10. Here you go. Everyone can untwist their panties now. Osborne Announces Two Options for Spring Game Tickets Due to inclement weather and potentially severe weather throughout Eastern Nebraska and the Lincoln area, Nebraska's Red-White Spring Football Game, scheduled for Saturday, April 14, 2012 at Memorial Stadium was canceled. Nebraska officials announced Saturday afternoon that the game would not be rescheduled. As promised to fans on Saturday, Athletic Director Tom Osborne met with staff on Monday to discuss what athletics has done and can do to give fans value for their purchased and/or complimentary tickets. The game was cancelled at approximately 1 p.m. when it became clear that the window of opportunity was insufficient for any significant football action to take place on Saturday. In addition to looking for a window of opportunity to play the game, NU administrators wanted fans to be in a safe place when the next wave of severe weather hit Lincoln. Many of the fans who had already entered the stadium took advantage of free concession food being offered and participated in an impromptu autograph session with the Husker players. Osborne said Monday that fans have two choices to gain value from their Spring Game tickets. Any ticket, free or purchased, may be presented at the gate the day of the game for free general admission seating to any remaining regular-season home baseball or softball game. Softball has four home games remaining while baseball has 10 home games remaining including this weekend's three-game series with Purdue Fans can receive credit for those 2012 Spring Game tickets purchased, at the face value of the 2012 ticket price, for 2013 Spring Game ticket purchases. Fans will not get credit for any complimentary tickets obtained. To receive credit, fans must return all tickets ordered (purchased and free) via mail to the Nebraska Athletic Ticket Office by May 1, 2012 (P.O. Box 82848, Lincoln, NE 68501). After tickets are returned, the amount equivalent to all 2012 purchased Spring Game tickets will be credited to their account and can be used only for 2013 Spring Game tickets. Fans must call in next year to purchase new seats using their credited amount. All seats will be sold next year based on a first-come, first-served basis. Credited amounts will not include any postage or handling charges. When returning tickets, include full name and mailing address that was used when ordering as the credit will be placed on that account for next year. For tickets purchased over the counter or on game day, please include name, mailing address, daytime phone number and email. "We believe this is the fairest way to give fans the same value they have purchased," Osborne said. "We have given our fans two choices: Fans are welcome to utilize a full credit for tickets purchased to buy tickets to next year's Spring Game by returning those tickets to the ticket office; or fans can use purchased and complimentary tickets in exchange for general admission seating to any of the remaining 14 regular-season home softball or baseball games. We greatly appreciate the support of our fans and hope that this helps to compensate them for their purchase, effort and time. No one has a crystal ball, but we believe we made the right decision as soon as we possibly could." A total of 39,327 tickets were sold and 52,300 were distributed. Complimentary tickets included more than 7,700 to youth who are eighth grade and younger and committed to take the drug free pledge in lieu of admission. Another 2,633 were distributed free of charge to UNL students. As with all University of Nebraska athletic tickets, the "no refunds" policy is printed on the back of each ticket stub. A date has not been set for next year's spring game. Fans are encouraged to check Huskers.com for more information.
  11. Obama's gonna easily roll in this election. Or will he... Nothing like a good poll to bring clarity to the political landscape.
  12. That's a fine sentiment. I can't see a problem living your life that way.
  13. You mean Hitler and Stalin Pelini and Osborne weren't just being dicks? No, no - they were being dicks. Their fiendish plot to utterly destroy the lives of all those people who NEED football in the Spring has come to fruition through brilliant manipulation of seasonal weather patterns. This was, perhaps, the greatest Win of all time. Puts Charlie Sheen to shame.
  14. Wow, you ain't kidding. I started reading a nice thread about something fun the Buckeyes did. I ended up with a street fight.
  15. JJ, I agree with a lot of what you said there. But the one thing I will disagree with isn't that those of us who do not believe in your god don't want to believe, it's just that there's nothing, nothing at all, that says your god exists. Any of the life experiences you've cited could have happened because Zeus did them. There is no connection to the Christian God other than your belief that there's a connection.
  16. That's because these players aren't real. They only exist on my TV a few days every year. When they're not on my TV, they cease to have real lives and real concerns. They exist only to play football and do nothing else. At all.
  17. I doubt this would be feasible, but it's a thought. LINK
  18. You are reading way too much into this. Way too much.
  19. For even more perspective, see the rounds of applause we've given to Milt Tenopir, Charlie McBride, and a few other assistants from the Osborne Era. See also the literally dozens of rounds of applause we've given past players. I don't see how doing the same for Frank suddenly becomes an issue.
  20. If we make one for you, the deal will be that you can't post in any other forum from then on.
  21. So, you thought maybe this story was over? Nah. TEC just doubled down. Here's a list of TEC stations in the Lincoln area. I'll be removing them from my dial soon: 104.1 The Blaze 106.3 KFRX 92.9 The Eagle 1480 KLMS (AM) 1400 KFOR (AM) I think there's another one, but I've never listened to it. If anyone knows, help me out. I can't believe these guys don't realize what a disaster this behavior is. Suing your listeners and severing ties with the local paper because they ran a story on it is beyond childish.
