  1. Old Chicago is really not very good. Why do people want to eat there?

      Wow? Really? I've never heard Pizza Hut and Old Chicao pizza compared. That's obscene. I really always get the Meat Me Calzone. It was always good for years, but last time I went it was horrible. I haven't been back since. If you're a Lincolnite, I say the Haymarket one is better than the Southepointe one.

      We were at the South Pointe one today. Mom in law picked...of course. I got to pick tonight, went to Buffalo Wild Wings.

      Bdubs sucks even worse....with the added benefit of giving you the sh#ts! And old Chicago was the sh#ts a dew years ago but agreed it has turned to sh#t now.

      Count. They are mostly sophomores and they are only getting better with recruiting. They have 3 Heisman caliber Qb's. The talent gap will widen as Urban gets his guys. I dont really think they will win 13 but they are setting up to dominate the Big Ten.

      Doubtful Urb coaches there for 10 years. Nothing stays the same in football.

  3. The city of Omaha is larger in population than 10 MLB cities without counting metro area's...had no idea.

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

      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.

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

  4. Funny how a shift in network changes the message. Cowherd ripping the SEC's talent. Says the Big10 is way underrated as a whole.

      He goes with the wind 98% of the time. When he doesn't, its not about sports. Its about gambling,society,etc. That's what gets him in trouble when he starts ripping the intellect of Dominicans. His own crappy BA degree from EWU didn't even help him understand the difference between Education and Intellect. Soon he will state that Ethiopians don't have good taste in food because as a whole they are so malnourished.

      I would imagine that most of the high school gym teachers get a job and stay there FOREVER, especially if they coach there.

      Yea. I am K-12. 6 years coaching experience in 3 sports. (Football, wrestling, 1 year track). It's not that I've even applied yet. Just nothing out there. Not many first year teachers with 6 years exp. I just need something to open up. I can do elementary and will apply. Just not my first choice.

  7. NU's goals are still intact. Despite the loss, NU showed that it deserves to be in the conversation of being a top 10 team

      We lost to a 2 loss team in our division. We would have to win out to have a shot at a division title and top ten ranking. Highly unlikely, not impossible, but not banking on it.

       

      How am I not being calm.

    3. It'sNotAFakeID

      It'sNotAFakeID

      A 2-loss team whose losses have come to current #2 Michigan and #6 Ohio State by a single score. Wisconsin wasn't some cake walk team.

      And a loss in OT at their place no less. This team still has a shot.

  8. I turned down an opportunity to interview for my "dream" job today for the betterment of my wife. I'm in a weird state of mind tonight. One of the harder things I've ever had to do.

  11. 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.

  12. Does an undefeated Boise make the playoff if the remaining spot is between them and a two loss champ?

      Looking at Boise's schedule it very well is likely they will be standing at the end knocking on the door....what isn't likely and what you were probably alluding to, is multiple 2 loss power 5 champ.

    3. ZRod

      ZRod

      They should get in, but with the old guard they likely wouldn't.

    4. The Dude

      I remember all the "we need a playoff!" screams when they'd finish 3rd as the only undefeated team. It would be hilarious if they were left out in that scenario.

      Drew Ott, Cole Fisher,Nathan Bazata & Nate Meier. Nebraska didn't want em. They combined for 24 tackles, 4 TFLs & 1.5 sacks today for Iowa.

      Isn't Meier from Iowa?

      Warrior10, are you familiar with the name Kyle Emanuel? I don't follow recruiting closely, but this kid was from Schuyler Nebraska I believe. Ended up being FCS Defensive MVP of 2014? Whats the story on that kid, how did we miss him? I watched him play, he could've played at Nebraska easily.

  14. I remember when the offseason was Polo talking to LOMS on the whole board. Now it feels like Redux and Matty are doing it, but this pair participates in the same circle. amirite?

  15. Someone old enough....is this starting to feel like 1980s and 90s LA unrest? After watching the OJ doc, I'm curious if we're going through some similar things but nationally. Thanks.

      I saw a thing on Twitter today that said that a recent poll found that race relations right now are worse than after the OJ verdict.

       

      Crazy stuff...

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      I believe it. It's one thing to riot after the Rodney King beating or to celebrate an obviously guilty man getting off but it's quite another when people go after police officers. That is not going to win any friends or generate sympathy for the cause. It will do the exact opposite. Guessing it will be pretty ugly for quite awhile.

  24. I have never been so excited for a season to end. Oregon's basically done. NU is just waiting to fire Riley (thank god). I really want Frost to be the coach at NU. After that, I've got a handful of guys that I think would be great options but are more risky.
