  1. minnesota, what radio station and/or can i listen to it here in Omaha? is there a stream?
  2. im all for the "junk it" and begin fresh mentality. The whole problem with Watson and his offense was the fact his playbook was a junkyard, scraps of everything all mishmash-ed together with no easily identifiable purpose.
  3. friggin texas tech and baylor games...WHY GOD, WHY!?!?!
  4. 3 on 3 charity basketball tourney at the University of Arizona. Most of the teams featured UA football players with too-serious intra-mural types and a few had Wildcat basketball players on them. Played with 4 other air force firefighters. In the finals, we beat a team with none other than Channing Frye on it. I didnt play a lot (my girlfriend at the time was a sorority chick that helped organize the whole thing, and was the only reason we were in the damn thing), but I hustled like heck like a Nebraska boy does, grabbed a couple rebounds and he likely was taking it easy when I nailed a 3 in his face. It wasnt a game winner, but we won and put a trophy in the case back at the station. Good ol' Uncle Sam paying for our daily 'workouts' playing basketball at the station paid off. other than that, pretty average high school sports careers. qualified for state wrestling a couple times, never placing with an overall record of 2-4, set my schools record for takedowns in a year, returned kicks and punts and led my team in interceptions (5) my senior year returning two for td's, blah blah blah. Just your average overachieving runt.
  5. Terrelle Pryor is light years ahead of Robinson. Maybe Robinson will develop into a better quarterback, but as it sits now, Pryor is a legitimate all-round threat, a proven leader, and rarely puts his team into bad situations. Robinson is where Pryor was several seasons ago with all the question marks, relying solely on supreme athletic ability, and it cost Michigan greatly at times last season, much like our own QB situation. Pryor impressed the heck out of me last year with his maturation in the passing game. and druski's post makes a great point.
  6. components?!?!? russian components, american components...ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!!!

  7. I love that town, and look forward to going to a game there. I went up this past fall for the State Street Halloween party aka 'Freakfest.' Had been told it was calmer the last few years as they had increased police/etc--I dont know if I could have handled it when it was 'crazy.' Glad i went, but once is enough. It was completely insane. Ive been up, down, and around, and Lincoln and O Street has nothing on Madison and State Street as far as partying goes.
  8. another of hundreds more to come im sure.
  9. one of 3 BCS programs to have never won a tourney game. (northwestern and south florida) barely above .500 all-time winning percentage. the dude doesnt deserve three face palms in my book. maybe one.
  10. Fort Crook Billiards, tomorrow night @ 9, come on out and see the Misfit Toys, classic rock and general shenanigans.

  11. sure, there is some smoke, but those putting it on Bo because he has some evil plan are hilarious. Bo Pelini, the multi-million dollar earning coach of one of the nations most prestigious programs, that gives speeches like the gipper and is all about loyalty, is obviously dumb enough, with the staff he has around him, to cancel an event like this because he hates charity. Bo Pelini is evil and must pay! Whats funny, is now people will say "but he should give a reason." Bo Pelini has those types exactly where he wants them.
  12. the bold above is probably the best point in this thread.
  13. this high school 'kid' was 19 years old. thats all you need to know right there.
  14. he must be the only guy i know that can pull off that particular jacket.
  15. if anything, the fact that there is a Division 1 hockey team so close, and multiple teams in our new conference, only bolsters the side that it could possibly happen. Im sure the Regent's would hate for there to be two premier programs of any sport in the same state. Its no mystery that UNO football will never be Nebraska St., like Michigan has Michigan St. there are club hockey teams all over the country that dont have the perfect setup that the UNL club team is now staring right down the barrel at. One of my favorite shirts is an Arizona Hockey (Official Nike gear btw) T i got when i lived in Tucson. Drooling is what that program is doing over a situation that a club team like Nebraska's is currently staring at. Dont forget where UNO hockey started at...
  16. youre all over the map there. and missing the point. the point is, a division one hockey team for UNL is a possibility, one that grows with a DOUBLE rink being planned. if this wasnt the way the system looked at it, then Haymarket would have never been built. Its the gears of progress. I dont understand why youre so negative towards it. UNL vs UNO really has nothing to do with it in the end. They run separate athletic budgets. Thats the kicker.
  17. because there is a quote there that says the regents wont let it happen... (there isnt) come on havoc, your doing the exact same thing youre claiming he is. a magical ice arena plan doesnt go up for sh#ts and giggles, or with at least the possibility in mind. And where the possibility lies for success, support, and perhaps black ink, it happens in the UNL athletic department. I shouldnt have to list the instances of this happening.
  18. Thank you. And now you have made me do my research, because your wrong. Here you go My link And here is another one, gosh the University would never think of doing that....ooooo damn My link nice work King i have to say, after going to both games of Mavs VS Badgers at the Qwest...bring it on. There is absolutely no reason that both cities could not fill an arena apiece, or that either one would do the other harm. Thats like saying nebraska basketball hurts creighton hoops, or vice versa. Different schools after different athletes and different goals. Its ignorant. --A WISCONSIN DE-COMMIT SCORED ONE OF THE GOALS SATURDAY NIGHT FOR THE MAVS-- You cant tell me 26,000 people total both nights back to back was helped by folks coming from across the state. Those numbers came from Omaha itself, plain and simple. Nebraska would have no problem supporting 2 hockey teams, especially with one having the backing of the big 10. Both Omaha and Lincoln play "minor league" hockey, and the rivalry is fantastic...you folks realize that the Lancers and such are below div 1 hockey? That these kids are realistically playing for a scholarship? Thats already in Lincoln...why not a Div 1 program? This isnt football, folks.
  19. this thread confuses me as a whole. ive punched, kicked, battered and punctured people in attempts at life. its not bragging, it was a job. a job i had a chance to continue anywhere in the country, but didnt. call me a pu&&y, but the most terrifying part of it? not what i had to do, but the victims themselves struggling faces, and those around them begging for a chance and subsequently taking it out on me. lots of bravado in this thread. fact is, look down at someone you care about dying, and post the actual emotion here then. those that arent afraid of death are in denial, plain and simple. otherwise, you'd just let people go. there would be no tears or emotion, no outbursts. there would be no religion, no fountain of youth, no vampire, no zombie, no highlander stories. those devout christians crying graveside? why? because the deceased is in hell? or what? oh, its because they miss them...well why? youre gonna die too...just like they breathed. you never cried because they took a dump, did you? does it scare you that youre still breathing? are you somehow more poignant about anothers death than your own? please. its like how we justify someone living a long life compared to an infant dying. theyre both dead. then you hear about how the infant never had to experience this or that...the same people that will say 'oh, he lived a long life' to someone else. its all fluff we make up to make death sound better. if i had to guess, i'd say the thread starter recently observed a death of some sort, something that made them question their own mortality. something that, frankly, scared them.
  20. exactly. we play with it, classy style. i think some of you misunderstood me. its fake and we know it, but we "mow it" like its real.
  21. wow. wonder what the message board posts/media blogs would have said about devaney's behavior back in the day. how about the infamous locker room trophy story? put that in bo's shoes today. bo might be the only guy that could slide right into Bob's shoes. you old school folk are plain ignorant, im sorry. nothing has changed. you just get more of it in your face now, and frankly, the younger generation realizes this and doesnt take it to heart like you do. you probably had similar conversations with your predecessors about him that we are now. news stories were full of granduer back then because thats what sold. devaney was a drunk. swallow that in todays terms.
  22. between the shaved head/goat and the weight room, rex burkhead looks like he just got off death row. that is one stacked man, no homo. okay, maybe a little homo. hes just so damn dreamy.
  23. couple things: its hard to say how the relationship between devaney/tom and tom/bo is any different. faaarrr less media back then. quote that caught my eye that relates to this: knapplc is likely on espns jock because, if you go to the front page of college football at espn.com, Nebraska is the front page story with 4 or 5 links. big giant Nebraska flag waving. and the biggest one: no longer can the university give all student-athletes tickets to the football/basketball games. this may sound like a small thing, but i think its huge. one less benefit of being a student-athlete at nebraska. takes a lot of the camaraderie of being a student-athlete at nebraska away. i dont think this can be simply tossed aside as not a big deal, especially since its one of the first differences Dr Tom himself points out. on the other hand, this should open up some season ticket spots.
  24. What's on your mind?anyone else going to the Badgers-Mavs hockey @ the qwest tomorrow night? as of right now I have a couple extra tix (that i got for free) if youre interested. PM me.

  25. we're being overrun!!! hide the wimmen and chillen!
