  1. 2014 season was the first time since 2004 that Nebraska averaged more yards per game rushing than the Oregon Ducks.

      It will be one of those things that is used as an excuse if Riley doesn't live up to expectations.

      Yea, one of them at least. I'll have a few others too.

      Maybe it might get used as an excuse but I think most of us feel really good about Riley and the team.

  2. Watched "Ant-Man" today. I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked it. It was much better than I thought it would be.

      Marvel killed it with this one, it's too bad it had such a poor opening weekend (by their standards). Their best stand-alone movie in a long time imo.

      I agree LOMS. I thought Winter Soldier was amazing, as well.

  3. Who is doing the Gameday Final now that Holtz, Davis, and May aren't doing it anymore...?

      I always liked college game day, I think the problem is they just made it run too long eventually.

      I loved to hate those guys. I will miss them.

  4. How cool would it be if Navy, Army, or Air Force won a national championship in the near future?

      If it happens, it will be in the midst of WWIII.

  5. I have a theory. Huskerboard is much more active when the board has an antagonist. (Polo, Jmfb, wifi, etc)

      I'm not arguing the different vibe, just that this place isn't dying out because a group of people got banned. But yes it is different.

      That could also be from the fact we don't know that we are going 9-4 this season for the first time since 2008.

      Well there sure has been no shortage of new threads. I can't remember a time, in season or not, when so many new topics were being created. Not a lot of interest in most of them so I'm not necessarily saying it's a good thing.

  6. When's the last time the big 10 ever had 7 schools in the top 25 in recruiting? Nebraska ain't one of them.

      Great news! There are 14 teams in the $EC, so that means that the B1G has 7 out of the remaining 11 slots

    3. Scratchtown

      Scratchtown

      9 are SEC schools. So 16 of the top 25 are from SEC or BIG10

    4. huKSer

      huKSer

      Check it again - all 14 $EC schools must be in the top 25. Its a law or something

  7. Where is the best place I look for used golf clubs? All my buddies play, looking to finally join in.

      LOMS...40 bucks? Was that irons only or a whole set? Dang, good find!

    4. Landlord

      Irons, pitching wedge, putter and a 1 and 3 driver. They belonged to her son who moved away and she gave me a deal because I seemed like a "good boy". Haha. Never know what you can find.

  8. Watching BTN, I still can't believe that Nebraska is in the same conference as Maryland.

  9. Lakers got Russell!

  10. Curry is awesome. I'd still take Iverson in his prime over him though.

      Iverson was insane but Curry is really so much better.

       

      Iverson was a volume scorer - poor percentages, high turnovers, and lack of good ball movement, but he shot so much that he still kept his team in it at any time.

       

      Curry is every bit the scorer, but more efficient at it and also better as a facilitator.

    3. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      Curry could be the best shooter in the history of the NBA. Plus, he creates a lot of shots for his teammates, and is much more efficient than Iverson ever was.

    4. icedavis

      icedavis

      Curry no doubt. Iverson could shake em, and get to the rim but curry is a pure shooter and dribbler and does more to facilitate. As everyone above has said.

  11. Flooding occurring here in GI. Received almost 2 inches in an hour.

  12. Made it to Denver last night. Got to the hotel and some random guy says "Go Huskers" after seeing my shirt.

      No one wants to live in Nebraska apparently. Or Iowa. I saw a handful of Hawkeye shirts at the grocery store today

      I'm in Denver this weekend as well. Went white water rafting today. Pretty chilly but also amazing.

  13. It's a go. Headed to Denver Friday for the weekend to see the Rockies/Giants series. It's not the Twins but its MLB

      Coors Field is a great place to watch a game. Hope the rain stays away for you. But don't expect MLB caliber ball from the Rocks....they're sucking pretty bad this season.

  15. I just went back and read through the jargon from the Wisconsin loss...interesting time November was around here.

      I used the word Jargon to replace conversation, because I liked it better and I think jargon should have an added meaning in the dictionary

      Omaha and Nebraska is a college sports and an "event" city. I don't think a pro major league team would work at all.

      wiuhusker

      Colorado, there is no way an NFL team would make it here. I think an NBA or MLB team could do quite well in this city. Look at OKC for example for basketball.

    4. suh_fan93

      suh_fan93

      Nebraska is a football state first and foremost. I totally think an NFL team would 'make it'.

  19. Longest hour waiting for class, ever.

  20. Excited to hear Tim Tebow speak tonight at the Heartland Event Center in Grand Island.
