  1. The Houston Astros' press conference was horrendous; basically a PR lesson in what not to do. The owner literally got caught lying. Watch the clip.

      Stealing signs is not illegal and is part of game. Using technology to do so is very much against the MLB use of technology rule.

      Also, it's another one of those unwritten rules.

      Unwritten rules have an unwritten punishment. That’s why I love baseball 

  2. Trevor Lawrence is a f#&%ing beast.

  3. watching games from the 95 season...I need Husker football...the wait :wacko:

      I'm watching old games, too. Just finished 1996 NU at KSU. Shortly after the ASU debacle, and a young Scott Frost learning to guide the machine.

       

      Can't wait. It's only two weeks to gameday!

  4. When did it become acceptable to play rap music at bookstores? I was at Barnes and Noble Friday and, while trying to read a few sports magazines, couldn't help but notice Tupac playing overhead. Is this a recent development or have I just not been in a bookstore for that long?

      I think I am more surprised that there are still Barnes and Nobles around.

      That Barnes and Noble has good taste.

  6. For the people who think Mike Riley should not be fired, how much time do you think he needs? 1 more year? 2? 3? 4? Because if we keep him, doesn't that make his seat the hottest in the country going into next season? Isn't that almost a death sentence? Produce this season or you're fired? Won't recruits see right through that?

      I think he should be given the option to retire.  He deserves to leave on good terms.  Make the transition as smooth as possible.

      I think we should hold on to Mike Riley until we can find a good head coach to take his place. I'm not keen on swapping Mike for Brett Bielima, but if it's Frost we are landing fire away. 

  7. a blowout to Wisconsin, Raiders sliding deeper into the abyss and now a complete firestorm in Northern California...what a crazy 3 days!

  8. Best news Husker fans have had in a decade...good job Moos

  9. BIG win for Nebraska! Not only does it eliminate Iowa from being the West champs and going to the CCG, but it ends our losing streak of 7 years to them! And to do it in a year where our coach is fired after only 3 games!

  10. Can anyone recommend a good program/website for downloading music off of YouTube without adware/viruses?

      It appears YouTube has done something since January 1. None of the sites I normally use are working. They all say URL is invalid. change in policy?

    4. macroboy

      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.

  11. Can someone tell me why the 4k and Blu-Ray versions of Goodfellas are completely sold out? Amazon, Best Buy and the other major retailers don't have them. Did they go out of print?

      It's now on Netflix.  Maybe temporarily stoping production of the disc's, etc was part of the agreement??

      It's one of my favorites for sure!

      The Dems probably dont like them so their cancelling and removing them.

  12. Does anyone have a link for the press conference?

  13. Does anyone know what our smallest recruiting class was because I think 2018's is going to be close to the record?

  14. Does anyone know where I can see a replay of the game? I missed the first half.

  15. ESPN is reporting Chip Kelly will be the new OC at Ohio State!  

  16. Finally, a night game on ABC!

  17. For the collective sanity of Husker nation, I hope we win tomorrow. I can't imagine what this place, or any Husker radio show, will be like if we lose.

      Look on the bright side - it'll probably result in a thinning out of some disagreeable, contentious posters. :lol:

      we will all have to jump out of windows.   but fortunately for me my house is only 1 story so i have a good chance to survive.   :)

  18. Has anyone ever used the windshield wipes from the 99 cent store on your car? I was thinking of using them on my dirty headlights.

      Are they foggy or just dirty?  I've used toothpaste and baking soda in the past.

  19. I don't think we will ever be able to compete for a national championship again. Too much going against us. Talent disparity, other teams upgrading their facilities, every game now on television...I wonder what real advantages we have anymore.

      Unless the NCAA and college football as a whole are willing to commit to developing a more equitable system, then I tend to agree. I don't necessarily think Nebraska will compete for a title. At least not with any measure of consistency.

       

      I readily acknowledge that CFB is cyclical, but the disparity between programs is not getting any better and it's at perhaps its worst point in history. Nebraska had half the formula figured out in 2009 to compete for a national championship. Even an average to above average offense could've meant a national title berth. It didn't happen, and unless we're able to catch lightning in a bottle again, I don't see it happening.

      I wouldn't say "never".  That's an awfully long time.

       

      But, what we need to be working towards is being that 9-3 or 10-2 team regularly.  If we can get to that point, it's possible to every once in a while have that special team that gets into the playoffs.  If we can do that, anything can happen.

       

      I firmly believe there is no reason why we can't be that 9-3 or 10-2 team consistently.  

  20. I have this sick feeling in my stomach that OU is going to give us a royal beat down. I hope I'm wrong.

  21. Imagine how much easier our schedule would be year in and year out if we had stayed in the Big 12.

      @RedDenver Maybe so. It’s getting really hard to figure out who is serious about what anymore. I’ve seen some pretty wild stuff in the last couple weeks :lol:

      People gave us so much s#!t for leaving the Big 12. Now that Texas and OU are gone, who would we lose to? OK State? Our road would be so much easier. Now, we have Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Wisconsin and, surprisingly, Michigan State. Unless we get a brand new coaching staff who knows what the f#&% they are doing, I don't see us competing for the Big 10; hell, I don't even know if we are even close to competing for the Big 10 West.

      @JJ Husker sorry, looks like I was wrong. OP is for some reason not being sarcastic.

  22. Is this 2017 or 2007? It's getting hard to tell the difference.

  23. Josh Rosen...what a quarterback

  24. Kirby Smart is going to have nightmares for weeks after Georgia choked that one away.

    1. chamrocck

      Agree.  Georgia had the game.  They couldn't get a few key stops and their offense went away from what was working.  Saban was cooked so the conventional coach ditches his 25-2 QB for a true freshman and just puts the game on the kids shoulders and it works!  3rd and 7 scramble, 4th down TD, the turnover right after GA got the turnover...any one of those plays doesn't happen and GA wins.  Then GA gets gifted by a missed Bama FG.  GA kicker awesome long FG in OT and you now are going to win because you have the freshman QB on the ropes at 2nd and 26 in OT!  And on 2nd and 26 you give up a 41 yard game ending TD...how does that happen?  Feel awful for Georgia but they blew it...scared by Saban's shadow...Bama was done but you didn't know how to close the game.  Credit Bama...never flinched when they should have multiple times.

      Weeks might be understating it. Not sure you ever get over that. Rough Couple championship games for the state of Georgia.
