      Fantastic April Fools Day trick. I wonder how many people will cram their face to their computer screen today.

      April Fools!

  2. One week from tonight, 2nd Annual Brewsky's get-together. Check the top of the Lounge for dates/times.

  3. Average Lincoln temp, March 2012: 70. Average Lincoln temp, March 2013: 47. This sucks

  4. Wait - Jorge Brian Diaz is the new Pope?

  5. Meet the new Pope. Same as the old Pope.

  6. And it's gone. Not one of the most shining moments in HuskerBoard history.

  7. I'm sure TimeWarner will voluntarily reimburse its subscribers for this statewide outage. It's just good customer service, right?

      How long is this going to last? I have to talk to my kids. It's getting old.

      I've always thought that would be good policy even if it only is a coue dollars. Just give everyone a free movie.

      I recently switched from time warner to directv. I haven't had even a quarter of the outages Ihadwith twc. If anyone wants to switch pm me and ill give you my account number so we can both save $10 a month! Twc sucks.

      ^this. He's one of the major reason why they won't let the BCS die.

  9. Not happy to hear Jon Stewart is taking a hiatus from the Daily Show. That will be a long 12 weeks, even with John Oliver taking over.

      It'll be one sad, sad day when Stewart steps down for good. He's one of the greatest sociopolitical comedians ever. Forget comedians, he knows more about current events than most CNN/Fox people do

      That does suck, don't they usually take a 2 week break in the summer anyways? They seem to do that every 6 months or so.

    4. True2tRA

      Holy Moly! Me and Tschu are in complete agreement! The Daily Show is one of about two shows I watch religiously.

  10. Connie Yori - Big Ten Coach of the Year

  11. It took me nearly seven hours over the last two days to replace my dishwasher. I am not good at home repair. But it's done, no leaks, and it seems to be wired correctly.

      Dishwashers are a pain in the ass anymore. They were gettin bad when I was still plumbin 9 years ago, but theyre horrible now. Not much room to work with under them. Knapp, did you replace your water line with a new stainless-braided hose?

    3. HuskerThor

      HuskerThor

      or just cut a section off of the garden hose and duct tape both ends securely?

    4. Count 'Bility

      Count 'Bility

      Sure Thor. I'll let your insurance agent know about that.

  12. Just met Harvey Perlman. Cool customer.

      You've got the story all wrong. They met at Sandy's and shared a pitcher of Elk Creek Water.

      Doubt if they met at church, more likely a synagogue

      Knapp gave him a Werthers original and then kiss and hugged him to sleep.

  13. Got my tickets to the Spring volleyball matches today. Forgot they went on sale last week.

  14. Big tip of the hat to huskeraddict for creating a ton of very informative gameday threads in the basketball forum. That's a lot of good info in those OPs, man.

  15. It's National Margarita Day. You know what to do.

      I encourage everyone to make REAL margaritas and not day-glo pre-mixed nonsense. Your taste buds will thank you!

  16. Alfonzo Dennard found guilty of assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest. Faces up to six years in prison. All because he lost his mind for 30 seconds one night.

      He will be on probation, slap on wrist, a fine and time served!

    3. Foppa

      Foppa

      I disagree, knapplc. I don't see him getting prison time. I think jail time would fit, though. Dennard seems like a decent person, but...YOU DON'T HIT A COP.

    4. Creighton Duke

      Creighton Duke

      You set a precedent that hitting cops is a misdemeanor and cops are going to be getting physical on a daily basis.

  17. A friend just posted on FB that Peyton Manning called my buddy's buddy who is battling lymphoma. Called the guy out of the blue to wish him well. Peyton Manning - good guy.

      Ever since the Huskers beat Tennessee...I've always liked Manning. Sure I'm a Broncos fan, but he seems pretty cool. One of the few athletes with a head on his shoulders I guess.

      Tebow would have healed him.

      Always had upmost respect for Peyton. Always did it "right".

  18. That's a wrap on the 2013 Starting Lineup. Check the Crib for ending stats and a couple of changes I'm making for next year.

    1. NUance

      A job well done, sir. Many thanks!

  19. Getting pretty sick and tired of being sick and tired. Over a week now and I'm only just recovering.

    1. Count 'Bility

      Count 'Bility

      Flu sh#t? I had it for what seemed like just a day, but just whooped my ass from a fatigue standpoint for well over a week, and I never get sick.

    2. knapplc

      Nothing gastrointestinal. It started off like a sinus infection, but my energy level plummeted. I slept more Tue-Thu last week than I did the previous ten days combined. Barely on my feet this weekend. Weird illness, unlike anything I've had before.

    3. NUance

      NUance

      Yeah, I'm feeling much the same. Although not quite to the extent or duration as you. Felt this way for a couple days. Getting better now.

      I was adopted, too. No.

       

  20. This is it. Last day of nominations for the Starting Lineup. Check out the Crib for the last two positions open for nominations.

      I think Carpenter will hang it up. The A.L. east will be tough top to bottom.

      Feel bad for Carpenter, he is an absolute stud. Loved watching him throw when he was chasing Cy Youngs.

      PaulCrewe is already saying, "There's always next year."

  22. We're accepting nominations for the last two positions in the Starting Lineup. It's almost over.

    1. Nebula

      Nebula

      Already campaigned a little in the contest crib, but let's really try and load up those last two spots with candidates. This is a GREAT board and a ton of posters deserve a spot, so let's at least give them a chance to get to the voting stage!

    2. onlyHskrfaninIL

      I nominate myself

       

  23. Final day of voting and nominations for the current polls in the Contest Crib. Only one more round of nominations remain for the 2013 squad.

      Adding a position is probably the single biggest request I get about the Starting Lineup. We'll be really cautious about adding any more positions, for everyone's information.

      If we have too many spots everyone gets in and it loses any semblance of meaning.

  24. Kind of "retweeting" zoogies' Status from earlier - MANY thanks to huskeraddict for doing all the work on NSD, adding info to all the threads as commits came in and making the whole process run smoothly. Thanks!
