  1. It's hilarious seeing all those coaches turn down the sCUm head coaching position. It would be great if they ended up with Bielema.

      I'm really surprised Bienemy didn't take it.

      Bienemy is poised to get a NFL head coaching job soon, no need to go to CU.

    4. Xmas32

      Yeah taking the CU job would've been a terrible move for Bienemy both monetarily and from a career perspective.

  2. finally found a loaf of bread after looking for several days...have never been so happy just to have a pb&j sandwich

      I stopped at the store earlier, TP was still empty (or emptied yet again), meat and frozen veggies were sparse but not empty. Fresh produce looked normal, although it was being stocked at the time I was there.

      The Bay Area has been ravaged. The only thing you can easily find is fruits and vegetables. Everything else is bare.

      fruits and veggies wouldn't be all bad.   can do quite well with just those for awhile.

  3. Does anyone think Harbaugh will see his final year or be terminated before?

      Curious what rout the Wulvarines would go for a new coach. They haven't had much luck with "Michigan" guys but they didn't with Rich Rod either.

      I honestly don't know that they have the cache to fire him there, even as not-good as he's been. 

    4. Loebarth

      doubt he'll be terminated. cash flows are significantly down as a result of the conference's decision to play in empty seats with fewer games. I think most power 5 head coaches are safe this year.

  4. 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.  

  5. So, who's going to be our QB next season? I haven't been following closely. Thompson, Purdy, Torres?

      @TonyStalloni Not trolling...I haven't been following the QB competition. 

    3. TonyStalloni

      TonyStalloni

      Sorry....I probably could have stated it differently. I don't recognize sarcasm very well and several people here use it. Thompson (most starting experience), Purdy (good talent and quarterback mindset) and Smothers (4th year in the program and did well in his first start vs Iowa) are quite a ways ahead of Harburg, Torres and the rest of the walk on QBs. Jarrett Synek is a walk on who looked very good in the spring game I thought.

  6. gawds the 49ers suck!!! How is Mike Singletary still the coach?

      nfl networks thurs night games have been crap this year. get the feeling this is what bowl season is going to look like.

      Worst thing is I probably got beat in my fantasy football just because of vincent jackson going off and my TE vernon davis getting a whole 4 yards. I have to calm down now before I turn green.

  7. ESPN is reporting Michigan fired Rich Rod.

    1. n.e.husker

      n.e.husker

      They will push hard for Harbaugh, but he may have his eyes on the NFL.

    2. fearandloathing

      fearandloathing

      Push away--but Stanford to Michigan is a lateral move. It actually could be viewed as a step down. Dude is taking his talents to the NFL...

    3. huskerscott

      huskerscott

      Harbaugh has said he goes somewhere else it will be the NFL. However Harbaugh is Michigan Alumni. All this happening within 24 hours is to coincidental for it not to happen. harbaugh to Michigan wouldnt surprise me. BigTen=Big Money.

  8. Dennis Franchione new head coach of Texas State per ESPN

      you are the bearer of horrible news.

    3. NUance

      Franchione is a GREAT hire for Texas St. Even though he plays fast and loose with ncaa rules sometimes.

  9. Does anyone think the Sharks will win tonight?

    1. NUance

      Even Ryane Clowe’s mother is putting her money on the Canucks at -1.5 to win.

      Giving up a goal with 12 seconds left...we don't even deserve it anymore

    3. corncraze

      corncraze

      What a strange goal! I imediately thought of this goal when I saw it. Poor Sharks have the worst luck with these odd plays. http://tinyurl.com/4x9tc9n

  10. I don't know what was worse last night: watching USA soccer choke again, 90,000 Mexico fans filling the Rose Bowl or having to listen to the awards ceremony entirely in Spanish.

    1. EZ-E

      That game should cost Bradley his job.

    2. VectorVictor

      Agreed. Bradley has been underwhelming at best during the Gold Cup.

      What is worse for me is watching soccer

  11. just watched Texas game on ESPN U...was even worse than I remembered it. I completely forgot Martinez got pulled in the third quarter and Lee came in,

    1. imgonnasuhyou

      imgonnasuhyou

      martinez got pulled in a number of games if i remember correctly. I'm not sure if he will be the real deal this year.

    2. Husker B

      Husker B

      Lee almost brought em back and won the game if not for a few drops like a wide open bomb to Kinnie.

    3. Chaddyboxer

      Chaddyboxer

      Uh....I believe he only got pulled from a game once for performance...and that was the Texas game. The other games when he was taken out involved his ankle injury.

  12. Argentina has the best national anthem in the entire world. hands down

      Nah, Germany:

      I'm with Vuren. The old USSR anthem was pretty rousing. Everytime I watch Rocky 4 I think, "damn that's a good anthem."

  13. @SkerChicago Cesc Fabregas is expected to sign with Barcelona in the next few hours!

      slight change of plan...Fabregas to fly in on Sunday and be officially presented to the media on Monday

  14. The Playboy Club seems like a ripoff of Mad Men. Eddie Cibrian is playing Don Draper, except he works for Playboy instead of an advertising agency.

  15. Damn, Cal Sucks! Texas didn't deserve the W last night.

    1. Foppa

      Foppa

      They hardly ever deserve it. But they're like the Heat, or the Irish. Sh*t just happens and shows up for them.

    2. NUance

      NUance

      Cal had like 5 turnovers or something. No way you can win doing that.

    3. Animal_Mother

      Animal_Mother

      Kind of a sloppy game. Texas defense was really flying around. Without a couple of plays by Goodwin and those turnovers by Cal, I am not sure it would have been a W for Texas.

  16. Who was the 1 dope that voted LSU #1 in the AP Poll? Miles himself?

    1. default_28

      Why would Miles vote in the AP poll?

  18. If I wanted to upgrade to Windows 7, would I need to buy the entire package ($200) or just the upgrade ($120)? I have Windows XP currently.

      While you can use an upgrade version of Windows 7, it WON'T preserve your files and settings. In other words, it won't "upgrade" your XP - it's actually a clean install. See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-xp-to-windows-7 for a tutorial and some tips.

  21. Do you need a new stereo system in your car to play music from your iPhone/iPod? They say you need an external electric source from your speakers, but I can't find one in my 97 Acura.

      As long as you have a cigarette lighter, you should be able to buy an adapter..

      If not there are also (relatively) inexpensive FM radio devices for your ipod so you can listen by tuning in to a given radio frequency. The quality will also be similar to FM radio, though.

      If you have a cassette deck, you can buy an adapter for it. I had one in my pickup.

  25. I wonder why there weren't any women supporting the woman accusing Winston of rape. Usually women come out in large numbers when a man of high profile is accused of rape and the police do not act. I wonder what would have happened if the woman were black and Winston white.
