  1. My Sprint Sanyo SCP-8100 that I bought in 2003 or 2004 finally gave out. I need to buy a new phone. I'm a big fan of Apple and was thinking about an iPhone. Any suggestions?

      ok thanks for all the responses. iPhone it is...By the way, what's the battery situation like with iPhones?

    3. Blackshirts007

      Blackshirts007

      not bad, it's nice because it shows the % left next to the battery, and it also fully charges in about 45 minutes, it takes android a few hours

      ^^^really? Wow, that's very good to know. My old Sprint phone would take a couple hours as well; it drove me insane, especially if I had left it lying around the night before.

  2. What headphones/ear buds do y'all use with your iPhones/iPods? I'm getting tired of the Apple earbuds constantly falling out of my ears.

  4. It looks like Nebraska's only shot at having a player in the NFL draft is either Gerry or Carter. It's strange to see that through 3 rounds not one Nebraska player was selected; my how things have changed.

  6. Seeing the Nebraska players protest, and the governor's reaction along with the intense media coverage has made me realize one important thing: the America that I once knew is dead. The new America is one where race dominates the conversation everyday, and there's nothing we can do about it.

      Depends what you like personally. I like leather, having had it in a couple of cars but the wife doesn't so we've never bought leather furniture. Leather can be chilly in the winter and make you sweat in the hot summer but I like the smell of the leather. Fabric is comfortable all year round. Another thing. If you are over 6' make sure the footrest extends out far enough to support you from the ankles up. Also make sure the back rest isn't concave so you nap better.

      Whew, that was a good game. Goalies were nuts. Bayern obviously the better team, but Dortmund put up a hell of a fight. Exciting stuff.

      One reporter observed that most of the fans stayed throughout the game! I hope that is a habit that we'll see at ALL home games this year! :)

  15. If we don't win out and go to another Outback/Gator Bowl, would you want Bo back next year? Would losing 3 or 4 games be aceptable, given our extremely weak schedule?

      4 losses this year is unacceptable, and that includes ccg and bowl game. Three losses wouldn't be thrilling but it would be improvement, so there is that.

    4. JJ Husker

      And to be clear, Bo will be back even with 4 losses. I'd guess he would be back even with 5.

  18. Does Bo have what it takes to turn us into a championship team? Maybe we should give him another 4-5 years? What's the standard now for Nebraska football? Is 8 or 9 wins now acceptable?

      Yeah, this. Sure I'm not thrilled right now. But we fire Bo now and we'll have a hard time attracting anyone at all. Certainly won't get anyone better.

      KRC. I agree with you on not coming to a knee jerk reaction. But making a bowl game is just not that special any more. Something is really broke here and I have no idea what it is,but it is broke and broke bad! Losing is fine losing that bad is probably unacceptable to big money donors.

    4. krc1995

      You won't be able to watch Big 10 games on FS1 with Sling. We had it last season and since Fox bought rights back from ESPN or something and that the fees need to be paid to Fox. But Sling already paid the fees to ESPN so they would blackout all Big 10 games on FS1 but we still could watch Big 12 and Pac 12 games. They also don't have BTN. We went to Hulu Live and now we have BTN for a similar but higher price to Sling.

      Yeah I used Hulu Live last year too.  Definitely suggest YTTV instead of paying for Sling Blue AND Hulu Live

      Thank you for all the replies.  @JJ Husker  beIN Sports shows La Liga games (soccer). I figured most people here wouldn't know the channel; that's why I just asked about best streaming options for the least amount of money.

      I don't know what part of the country you are in but a store called Browns Shoe Fit has New Balance in wide sizes in stock. I've bought several pair there. I think they have stores in Kearney, Hastings and maybe GI or Fremont. Probably any store that sells them could order a wider width as well.

      YouTube has been turning a blind eye to this stuff for a while. If they changed policy, it would be to actually take responsibility and follow the rules. You might have to actually purchase music.
