  1. Some years a team just has your number. That's us with Wisconsin this year.

      Kubik has improved a ton this year, but when Stivrins leaves the court, this team tends to struggle. That, and the passing this year hasn't been up to the level of years previous. Maloney was a phenomenal eraser, and her presence is definitely missed.

  2. We are favored over Maryland. Crazy.

      Tough game to gauge. Maryland has been blown out recently, but to many good teams. Hard to say what we should expect.

      I expect Nebraska to win, if only to get our hopes up for a 6 win season against Iowa.

      We’re 1-9 against the spread this year (only covered the NIU game). I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up around 3 by kick.

  3. Wan'Dale Robinson is currently losing this poll. Go do your thing.

      Apparently some LSU egghead has a bot kicking up the LSU tally. Figures.

      Contact that genius that designed the bot that won the election for Trump. I think he’s from Kansas. Maybe he’d pity us enough to do it on the quick

      Or the bot designer  that a few years ago fixed 8/11 of the AL’s all star votes to be Royals. Maybe it’s the same guy.

      I'm just waiting for his True Hollywood scandal. Where he doesn't say hello to a fan on the street.

  5. Where are the consequences. It's been years. Do something.

  6. Oh, hi. Funny story. Nebraska Volleyball just beat our arch-nemesis in a gritty tough match after a pretty damned difficult week because those players are mentally strong as hell.

      It was a great match. 18-18-21-21 and 15-13. 5 full sets and only two points separation.

      They looked the best I've seen them play.  They are mentally tough and as testing showed are some of the most physically developed athletes at UNL.  You don't get that way without making sacrifices.

  7. I mean... damn.

  8. Heads up for people coming from out of town to the Wisconsin game: they're closing Q street between 10th & 12th (by the Lied Center) for two weeks to install a construction crane. This will affect people who use the park & ride buses.

      Exactly why you don't boo injuries.   I remember the play he went off on, crowd around me was going nuts booing him.  Maybe some of the injuries were fake, or maybe they were minor and they did need to come off the field, either way, fans need to show more respect to the game and not boo.

  10. Would you rather lose the way Nebraska lost or the way Texas Tech lost? Sheesh!

      As long as we're losing, all ways are okey dokey.

      Frost said they keep finding ways to lose games so the last thing our players need is new ideas.  Fortunately, our players aren't very interested in football so they probably didn't see that ending.

      I get the impression that games like these are Frost's wet dream.

  11. What a week today has been!

      I agree, and I'll go one step further. What a month the last 5 days have been.

  12. So your girl Angela Mercurio of the Track Team won NCAA Woman of the Year. That's... kind of a big deal.

     

     

  13. In the past ten minutes I've seen ads for Trump & Kamala Harris. Trying to hit all angles, eh ad servers?

      My guess would be that this particular ad company is just bad at targeting, but the Harris and Trump campaigns are just throwing $ around.

      We got beat bad, but they’re still Minnesota.

      @krc1995 They have as many national championships as we have.

       

      We just don't want to be on their arc.

      Also illustrates how good the Cornhuskers were in the pre-WWII era - they were one of the most dominant teams in the country. A lot of people tend to think of the Devaney era as being the beginning of Nebraska greatness, but really it was more like he brought the team out of a dark era and returned them to national prominence.

       

      That previous dark age lasted about 23 years. Let's hope we can bring home a conference championship before our current drought reaches that mark...

      Everyone is taking this too literally. They could have done this bit with Iowa, Kansas or the Dakotas.

       

      It's just cool that they used the "Nebraska Accent" because of reasons. People from Nebraska are known to have, basically, no accent. That's why Johnny Carson was such a big deal - his voice was pure & attainable from about every locale.

      No!  I'm offended!  I'm petitioning SNL to be cancelled!

      I had to show one of your tweets to my wife, to prove I'm not the only one to have a random bowl of pickles and (green) olives.:lol:

    3. knapplc

      So we're supposed to eat a salad of greens & bits for every meal, but there's laziness and whatnot involved in making dinner so a lot of times we just throw vague "veggie bits" in a bowl and call it crudites. In theory I would like to have the salad goodness most often, but it's super hard when I really like green & black olives & bitty pickles & carrots & whatnot. Sometimes little teeny cheese wheels or other cheesy bits.

       

      Pretty sure the salad is better overall, but the crudites are easy & yummy.

      Also, if anyone follows my meals and likes cottage cheese, the very best stuff is Hy-Vee small curd cottage cheese. I don't know if they put heroin in that stuff or what, but it's super addicctive.

  17. Held them under 50. Nice!

  18. Uh, Kelsey Robinson & Justine Wong-Orantes are really, really good.

      My wife and daughters drove down to Colo Spgs to watch the men's and women's national teams about a month ago.  The videos they brought back were insane. 

  19. 900 wins.

      Sorry, Notre Dame, no 900 for you!

  20. This Board is sloooooow

      Yeah, it really is. Much slower since the new owners took over.

      Seems fine for me at the moment, dunno if there were problems during the game...

  21. Overheard from the Michigan locker room:

     

     

  22. Was the board down for anyone else for a second there?

      Probably just a glitch in the ad matrix.

  23. They have sold a LOT more tickets for this Illinois game than for the other two home games. Wonder why?

     

     

  24. The Ohio State game will kick off at 6:30 and be aired on ABC.
