  1. At least we're not Texas...

      I find reading their boards.....

      Disgusting BUT....pure entertainment at the same time! hehe

    2. Something Clever

      Something Clever

      This statement applies to more than just football

    3. NUance

      NUance

      Basking in schadenfreude. lolol

  2. What a pathetic display from Portugal. No Pepe, probably no Coentrao...the USA should have no problem

    1. EbylHusker

      EbylHusker

      It's a game we could easily lose. Portugal still has superior quality.

    2. wiuhusker

      wiuhusker

      Christiano can change things in a hurry but the US has a legit shot. Have to find a way to beat Ghana today. Big game

    3. HuskerNationNick

      HuskerNationNick

      Why are we looking at facing Portugal already? We have to face the team who has knocked us out two times in a row first.

  3. Last night was genuinely the first time since Osborne that I felt Memorial Stadium was intimidating.

    1. ShawnWatson

      ShawnWatson

      I went to every home game from 94 to 01 and have been to several since, the most intimidating game during those years was during Solich in 2001 when Oklahoma came to town.

    2. GSG

      GSG

      The 09 game against OU was pretty wild too

    3. Hingle McCringleberry

      Hingle McCringleberry

      God '01 Oklahoma... I forgot about that one...

  4. How does Brady Hoke keep his job?

    1. Creighton Duke

      Creighton Duke

      He has naked pictures of Harbaugh.

    2. presidentjlh
    3. Danny Bateman

      Danny Bateman

      He needs a pow-wow from Goodell.

  5. How the f&^! does Will Muschamp still have a job?

    1. deedsker

      deedsker

      He won't come the final week and they miss bowl season again.

    2. iamthenorm

      iamthenorm

      I was at their game last night. It was pretty sad.

    3. NUance

      NUance

      He was the hottest young new coach in the nation four years ago. I guess he forgot football since then. lulz

  6. God, I can't wait for this season to be over.

    1. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      It seems pretty over to me already. The nly thing remaining to be seen is if a change happens at the conclusion of the Iowa game. If we win either of our remaining two, I would say we're in for another year of fun.

    2. TheSker

      TheSker

      I think if it were "obvious" Pelini was gone, it would have happened Sunday and an interim named...basically like Kansas or Florida pulled the switch.

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      I don't think any change will happen until after the Iowa game, and then it is probably doubtful unless we lose these remaining two games.

  7. Is there a better music scene than Dino singing "My Rifle, My Pony and Me" in Rio Bravo? To think my father was a freshman in high school when that movie came out. lucky sob

    1. Street Novelist

      Street Novelist

      To have been alive when you could turn on the radio and hear Frank and Dino.

    2. Blackshirt39

      Blackshirt39

      That's my favorite John Wayne movie. So many memorable quotes.

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      "Let's make some noise Colorado" Love that snippet when they would play it at the local minor league hockey games.

  8. What would it take to get Bo fired? A loss to Iowa, finishing with 4 regular season losses? A loss to Iowa and a bowl game loss, leaving us with 5 losses?

    1. Street Novelist

      Street Novelist

      another profanity-laced rant about the fans?

    2. Junior

      Junior

      No way you wait for the bowl to fire him. No chance at all. Either after Iowa or not at all.

    3. NUpolo8

      NUpolo8

      It's over. He gone.

  9. Will the Cowboys ever be good again? It's been what, almost a decade since they were relevant?

    1. HuskerfaninOkieland

      HuskerfaninOkieland

      Lets hope they never get good again.

    2. NUance

      NUance

      Jerry Jones is the new Al Davis.

      It's the Callahan curse. Look at Oakland

  10. f%&k kin' Lionel Messi...best in the world

    1. default_28

      Irritating how good he is.

    2. swmohusker

      swmohusker

      Is he a rapper?

    3. Landlord

      Landlord

      Check five eighty - they just did an article on him today

  11. Colorado just got slaughtered by Stanford; wasn't even close.

    1. NUance

      NUance

      CU's whole fb program is in the toilet right now. Recruiting sux. They've paid two buyouts in the last six years. They're dead in the water.

    2. commando

      commando

      the similarities between colorado and nebraska are interesting.

    3. NUance

      NUance

      Yeah, except the highs for CU weren't as high. And our lows aren't as low.

  12. The Angels have now lost 11 in a row, their worst since 1999.

    1. Savage Husker

      Savage Husker

      And M's are going for their second sweep of the Angels in less than 10 days.

    2. Mike Mcdee

      Mike Mcdee

      They need Joseph Gordon Levitt in the stands flapping his arms so bad right now.

    3. Savage Husker

      Savage Husker

      When are we going to be a family again?

  13. Some good news we can all agree on: Texas lost again. They're now 5-5. I don't see how Strong keeps his job unless they run the table.

    1. Redux

      Redux

      I hope he does keep his job. Texas losing is something I would like to have continue.

      krc1995

      Doesn't matter to me. That's so 5 or so years ago.

  14. When are these f^%$#@! terrorist attacks going to stop? S#@! is ridiculous.

    1. swmohusker

      swmohusker

      Awful! Just awful

    2. zoogs

      zoogs

      It'll never stop. We need to hang on to who we are in the face of it. Is this about Turkey, by the way, or was there something else today?

    3. ZRod

      ZRod

      It's been going on forever. Nothing has really changed. Very sad, though...

  15. 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?

    1. teachercd

      teachercd

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

    2. Cdog923

      Cdog923

      That Barnes and Noble has good taste. 

    3. Danny Bateman

      Danny Bateman

      Better Tupac than Biggie.

  16. Does anyone understand why The Irishman isn't getting a wide release, but only relegated to small theaters?

    1. teachercd

      teachercd

      Just a guess, but sometimes they do that to have it out at a certain point/time so that it can be considered for the Oscars.

    2. ZRod

      ZRod

      Yup. It's a Netflix movie, but it needs to be in some theaters to get consideration by the academy.

    3. NM11046

      There's a podcast on Fresh Air with the stepson of Chuckie O'Brien that's worth listening to.  I had no idea the story or the relatives involved.  https://www.npr.org/2019/10/01/766010613/in-hoffa-s-shadow-uncovers-an-author-s-family-ties-to-a-mafia-mystery

       

      And I think because it was produced by Netflix there is a small theatre release now, then it goes live on streaming at the end of Nov.

       

  17. If you're only going to see 1 movie this year, make sure it's The Irishman. I saw it on Tuesday; another Scorsese classic.

    1. teachercd

      teachercd

      Better than Kindergarten Cop?

    2. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Thanks for the heads up. Want to see it but didn't realize it was out yet.

    3. krc1995

      It’s 3 hours and 30 minutes long. I mean it sounds good , but it’s 3 hours and 30 minutes long. 

  18. What program can I use on my Android phone that will stop YouTube from pausing videos? I listen to ASMR on my phone when sleeping and it always pauses, asking me if I'm still there.

    1. RedDenver

      Looks like you might be able to prevent it on a computer browser but not android: https://www.technipages.com/how-to-stop-youtube-from-asking-if-you-want-to-continue-watching/

    2. Street Novelist

      @RedDenver It has to work for my phone. That's the problem I keep running in to.

    3. RedDenver

      RedDenver

      Best I can tell, you can't disable it on android.

  19. What a grest 30 For 30 episode last night with Vlade Divac! definitely the best so far

    1. GSG

      GSG

      Vlade Divac? Were they breaking down the finer points of being the greatest flop artist of all time?

    2. holvy83

      holvy83

      saw that also, great show and sad story that i never knew about. hard to imagine what those guys were going through with their countries at war.

  20. the West Coast will not get the Nebraska game this weekend on ABC or ESPN. looks like I will be watching online

    1. HuskerInLostWages

      HuskerInLostWages

      I think it's time we revolt, who the F cares about Iowa Wisconsin here on the west coast?

    2. DefensiveLineU

      DefensiveLineU

      Same here on the east coast

  21. @SkerChicago Steven Gerrard out 3-4 weeks with strained hamstring suffered during friendly. uh oh

      Parl Celini

      Wow...their season was already going bad as it was.

  22. This hightlight reel above the status updates is slowing this board down. My computer has to keep waiting for it to load. Can someone remove it please?!!!

      i'm sure you are suggesting noscripts? which any user of firefox should have?

  23. Is this the beginning of the end for Mack Brown? Or will he rebound next season?

    1. GMoose

      GMoose

      Finally people are realizing he's not that good of a coach. Sure he has a NC, but think about what some coaches could do with all that talent...

    2. mturn087

      mturn087

      He'll rebound too much talent and too much state pride for most of those kids for that team not to rebound

  24. Turner Gill steals high rated QB Brock Berglund from sCUm. Yikes!

  25. @SkerChicago u following the Fernando Torres saga?

    1. RockyMountainOySker

      RockyMountainOySker

      I'm afraid I've been a little out of touch lately. Haven't really heard much. About to go read your thread though.

    2. RockyMountainOySker

      RockyMountainOySker

      Holy crap. Talk about some money being thrown around.
