  1. College Football is becoming a game of "Who can beat Bama?" It's getting really annoying.

      I agree with MEM-this is the way other teams felt about Nebraska for YEARS!! (Would love to see us get back to that point!!)

       

  2. The greatest era of music was a run from 1997-2008. In my opinion of course.

      Most people are going to think the music during their teens and early 20s is the best era.

      Well, Knapp does like the big band era. Just sayin..

  3. Interesting, yet, biased take on KW and Riley from Oregon fans. Couple similar examples of Riley's discipline at Oregon State. http://ducksattack.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=25335

      You wouldn't ask a Nebraska fan about another school's comparable situation, either. When that happens we'll typically just puff our chests and shake our heads at them. Just another slimy program is what anyone'd be inclined to see here.

      Exactly. All THOOOOOOSE programs are "bad." WEEEEE are "good." I'm as guilty of this as anyone.

      Everyone's a finger wagger when it's not their program.

  4. I'm absolutely furious about that LSU player hitting #14 from Wisconsin. Flag thrown but what does that do? That kid should be suspended for 3 games. That's BS. NCAA cannot let these athletes get away with that kind of behavior. USC guy that stomped on the Bama players jewels too. BS garbage that needs to be out of the game.

      You're not going to see targeting called late after a play. They will most likely call unsportsmanlike conduct unnecessary roughness with ejection.

      Targeting wasn't called. He still targeted a defenseless player.

  5. Not a fan. The last time a message board I loved changed its format. It died.

      That is not the case, ATB. This is basically an off the shelf message board software.

    3. zoogs

      zoogs

      As noted on the site footer, we run Invision's message board software. Support for versions 3.x.x, which we had been running for some time, ended a few months ago (at least?), which made a jump to 4.x.x, which was first released in 2015, inevitable. IPS is currently on 4.2.

       

      It doesn't "force" an upgrade, but it's a little like when Microsoft for example stopped supporting Windows XP with security patches. So we chose to upgrade, but it was long, long overdue.

      I was just curious, that's all. I don't remember seeing that footer on the old site, so that makes sense.

      We had issues on another board during the Washington series with Duck fans trolling. They are awful, so the banhammer will be swift and merciless.

  11. I threw something on the floor. Wife says "Pick that Up!" and I say "I will, hold on." She says "I bet you won't." I say "If I pick it up you have to give me a BeeJay." She said "Ok". I instantly picked it up.

      1/500. To win five games. If we win the next two those odds will go to about 1/2.

  17. I have lost 2 friends to car wrecks in the last 5 years. One on the receiving end of a guy driving and having a heart attack (head on) and the most recent one was a single car gravel road accident as a passenger. Life is precious. The recent one leaves two little girls behind. :(

      OWH had an article about a month ago who lives in Omaha area and flies a confederate battle flag in front of his home. Of course he tried to say he wasn't racist and had a lame reason why he flew the flag.

  19. Question of the day: there are two power 5 programs going for their 100th victory since the beginning of 2000 season, this week. Who are they?

      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.

      I'll piggy back off JJ. I go to my chirp frequently. This past week I drove to Chicago for work, I woke up Tuesday and my right thigh muscles were tight, sore, and couldn't put all my weight on it. Didn't get back til Thursday evening, went to my chiro Friday to get realigned and in a couple hours I felt 75% better with less feeling of something being off.

      If you're going frequently that should tell you all you need to know about how effective it is.

      Not really. i go consistently to stay in alignment and prevent any breakdowns, which has helped me tremendously. One breakdown after a 7hr car drive and crappy motel bed is the only hindrance in last 2 years.

  22. Black People, saying "Sup girl, whachu doing?" as a pick up line to women like my wife just furthers the stereotype. I don't appreciate people making my wife uncomfortable to go out on her own lawn to let the dog pee.

  25. Very possible NU could be in the top 10 next week. 3 top 10's will lose this week. Others in intriguing matchups. With a dominant Nebraska win. I'd say NU moves up to around #11

      Whatever ... I don't think we are a Top 30 team at this point in the season. Looks like we will have a decent record through week 7, as many of us thought. I think reality hits down the stretch and we finish out of the Top 20. Hope not.

    3. NUance

      Top 30? lol. Good gravy, man. You must be joking.

    4. Moiraine

      The only way someone would think we're not top 30 material is if they don't understand how bad the bottom half of teams are. Even with a 6-7 record we were probably in the top 55 of teams.
