  1. The Romans in the Levant predate Jesus' birth by a good 100 years. I think you're thinking of the Jewish revolt and subsequent reprisal by the Romans circa 70 AD, when Herod's temple was razed to the ground. The Roman reprisals were led by Vespasian and featured the famous Siege of Masada.

      Thanks, speed. This is my kid's first hockey game, and my first in about 15 years. Should be fun.

      The parking isnt bad. You may have to walk a little but the weather is nice for Feb so who cars. Nothing really to see once inside, the place is kinda dumpy, but the game is fun.

      The storm are a good team and they typically bring many loyal fans to the barn. Should be a rowdy good time.

  3. WHY would you wager money on something over which you have zero control? I've never understood the gambler's mentality. I wouldn't bet a dime on that game, let alone a grand.
  4. I have more, just didn't have time to put them up yesterday. Memorial Stadium's original inscription, soon to be covered by the facade: The sigil on the original gates of the University property, showing the school's founding date of 2/15/1869. A couple of shots of the original foundation, exposed for expansion work. These two are taken from the pedestrian bridge to Haymarket. The cranes lined up neatly in the second pic. This is from the parking lot just east of the arena site. Nearly identical to corncraze's, and judging by the shadows we couldn't have missed each other by more than 30 minutes. Here's a panorama of the north half of downtown Lincoln, showing all six construction cranes in use right now.
  5. You've got to let your Callahan love go. You've also got to stop rewriting history regarding Callahan. An eighth-place finish in the 2007 Fulmer Cup isn't exactly "clean." Arrests of Hunter Teafatiller and Maurice Purify immediately come to mind. Again, because this seems to not be sinking in, the reason Callahan was reviled by "most fans" is that he never embraced this team, us fans, or our traditions. The man who ended, unnecessarily, several traditions that this fan base holds dear will always, always, always be hated.
  6. I took pretty much identical pics today. What time did you take yours? From the angle of the sun, we couldn't have missed each other by more than 30 minutes.
  7. Heck no, you guys get to eat at the training table and everything.
  8. Check the Contest Crib for a Starting Lineup announcement.

  9. I have been given permission to announce that 2012 will feature, for the first time, a Walk-On class for the Starting Lineup. After long thought and careful consideration, and after consulting the Powers That Be at HuskerBoard, the members of the 2012 Walk-On class are: C N Red corncraze sheepdogmark skersfan I can't give a scholarship to everyone, but the fact of the matter is that there are many people deserving of a spot on the squad. With a year of seasoning, some time in the weight room and good grades, the sky is the limit for this class. In addition, due to the necessity of honing the skills of the Starting Lineup, we've been given funding to create a Scout Team, to keep the starters on their toes. The 2012 HuskerBoard Scout Team members are: Big Willie bshirt Haspula Hercules HuskerfaninOkieland huzkerbob irieboy8 kchusker_chris Nebula NUpolo8 rawhide redout22 tschu All members of the Walk-On Class will be given gray avatars. All members of the scout team will be given blue avatars. PM me with your number and I'll get your jerseys made this weekend. First-come/first-served on the numbers.
  10. That or he's the Pope of HuskerBoard. Take your pick.
  11. Zoroastrianism predates Christianity by many centuries and still exists today. If our litmus test is longevity, Christianity isn't the forerunner. There are a number of parallels between Jesus' life/deeds/birth/godhead and those of Horus, Romulus and Gilgamesh, among others. The virgin birth, the son of god, the king of kings, these were all themes being used by other religions at the time the New Testaments were written. An Omnipotent God has no need of a savior to wipe away sins. If He wanted our sins wiped away, he'd just wipe them away. He would also have made us sinless, and we would never have been placed in this sinful world in the first place - we would have been put in Heaven with God where he wants us. The whole Earthly existence we live is completely unnecessary, and contraindicates a loving, fatherly God.
  12. Congratulations. You've just created a new sect of Christianity.
  13. 2008 - 4-1 in our last five games, including winning the bowl game. 2009 - 4-1 in our last five games, including winning the bowl game. 2010 - 2-3 in our last five games, including losing the bowl game. 2011 - 2-3 in our last five games, including losing the bowl game. We've had rough endings the last two years. Not the first two.
  14. There are a wide range of perspectives here, ranging from yours, robsker, to those who truly do not like Bo, all the way to the other side of the spectrum of those for whom Bo can do no wrong.
  15. Very salty meal last night. I have a worse "hangover" from salt today than I've ever had from booze. Freaky.

  16. Perfect! And from what I've seen walking past the site every few days, that's about all that's going on.
  17. I had to edit out the video. Multiple f-bombs.
  18. Oh, yes. Many people do. They are still the minority, but they are serious, and some of them are quite vocal. Bo is not everyone's cup of tea. Some folks really, really do not like him.
  19. This is all tschu. I asked him to stand next to the site with a camera, taking pics every 30 seconds an uploading them to a feed, but would he? No. He said he would have done it for Lambeau, though. Boo! Tsss!
  20. The formatting of this version of IP.Board leaves a lot to be desired. Errors galore in copy/paste.
