  1. 118 days till Spring Game!  258 till next game day.  

  2. According to this article, someone was awfully sure Frost was going to coach the Gators.  :laughpound https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-football/scott-frost-heir-apparent-florida-nebraska-tennessee/

      Right now according to 24/7 Nebraska is 28th and Florida is 21st.  Not a great deal of separation there.

      To be honest, I was very concerned he wasn't coming here for all the same reasons that article pointed out.  That was without the SEC bias that this site obviously has.  Rationally, it made a lot of sense for him to stay in Florida which makes me that much more thankful he is here.

      @teachercd it gets worse. She said she was going to the boneyard bash......and then to a party.:o And she met a football player on Friday. 1 week, 1 week and things are headed for trouble fast :lol:

      If you like to watch any other Husker sports outside of big ones, I think it's a good value.  I'm personally a wrestling junkie so I end up getting the monthly conference pass for $14.95/mo and I feel like I get a fair value.

      One time I did the yearly pass but I didn't use it a lot.  Now I buy a monthly pass once in awhile - like early in the basketball season when the games aren't on BTN.

      Seems like all the women's sports, save for VB, are only on BTNPlus.  Thanks for the input, peeps.

  6. Anyone watch any other B10 teams' spring games?  Just tuned into MSU's - rather boring, as one would expect.

      How experimental are we talking about? Putting pot in Runzas experimental? Dropping LSD and doing the Tunnel Walk experimental? Having your MILF wife hook up with a co-ed on campus while you record it on your phone experimental? 

       

      All of these are acceptable answers for collegiate experimentation--I just didn't know how far you wanted the ADs to experiment during Spring games. :dunno

      Well, maybe if Nebraska can lead the way by removing the stigma around alcohol for children by letting them buy beer, we won't have as many alcohol-binge drinking issues going forward?

  7. Apparently Minnesota players are allergic to bowls, with several players suspended due to rules violations  Although having to sit out a bowl in Detroit seems less punishment than having to play in the game.

  8. Are the recently departed players completely dropping out of school or just quitting the team but still enrolled?

    1. ZRod

      ZRod

      I believe they have to remain enrolled to maintain eligibility.

      ZRod

      Actually I retract my previous statement. I don't think they have to be enrolled unless there is a conference rule that says they ha e to. Nothing I read says they have to be in school after they want to transfer, just that the 5 year clock is always ticking.

  9. Are you a light sleeper or deep sleeper?

      My first jury included one of my Sped students as a fellow juror.  Seriously, he was 19 years old senior at the high school I was teaching at. He was on my roster.  I did his annual IEP for goodness sake.  The court would not excuse him.  The kicker was after my taking meticulous notes for five days about the case-a man suing geico because he felt they didn't pay out enough, I was informed at the time of jury instructions that I was the alternative juror and was released without ever casting my opinion or even finding out the outcome.  And no free lunch either. 

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      I didn't mind jury duty the one time I was chosen for an assault case. Took all day but it was interesting. A murder case would be pretty cool imo. But generally jury duty equates to wasting half your day sitting and waiting and not accomplishing anything other than wasting your time. Boring as H-E-L-L is absolutely what it is 98% of the time.

    4. Omaha-Husker

      Omaha-Husker

      I sat on a murder case that lasted 8 days about 5 years ago.  It was really interesting to see how the system works and actually gave me some optimism in the system to see how serious the 12 of us from all corners of society took our role.

  13. can't imagine how disappointing it would be to have to settle for the Pinstripe Bowl against last year's bowl opponent.  Second only to not making a bowl at all.

      i wonder how excited both of these teams are to play in a bowl? 

    3. Scarlet Overkill

      Scarlet Overkill

      At least they beat the rival and there is an actual football stadium involved in their bowl, which they must be thrilled about being in one at all.  Plus game weather won't be a factor.

      How can the ensure a team doesn’t revisit the same bowl back to back, top tier bowls, but they can’t ensure non exciting rematches

      @Dilly Dilly Ok, I'm busted and so is @Branno at 7-5 but like I said I really felt it would be worse.  I was ready to move on from Riley early in the season when it was obvious to me that we weren't where we should be as a program.  Fire Riley talk was discouraged but whenever the fledgling Frost train came up (usually after a loss) I tried to push it along.  As UCF's season took off and ours tanked, the Frost train became unstoppable.  By season's end I can only think of 1 poster that thought we shouldn't fire Riley.  My only concern with Frost was that our defense would become soft(er) practicing against his offense.  The coaches stress being physical so I'm no longer concerned.  I'm pessimistic about next season since I don't believe 1 off season will undo what wasn't done the past 3 or more years as far as development particularly in the weight room.  Changing offense, defense is minor compared to attitudes, habits and mentality.  7-5 this season would be amazing and regardless of how good we look in the spring game, I won't be more optimistic.

    3. Scarlet Overkill

      Scarlet Overkill

      I wasn't here to bust you - i just couldn't believe anyone saw a 6 or fewer win team.  I saw that happening before Callahan's last year (when everyone had such high hopes and thought the sky was the limit).  In both coaches' last seasons, they were worse than I could have even imagined it would be.  Hope that changes this year, but i'm willing to be patient.  Takes while to build that thing back up.

    4. Branno

      Branno

      @4skers89 my exact post was “I see 5 losses, 5 wins, and 2 toss ups. I really hope I'm wrong, but I see us as 7-5 max but possibly 5-7.”

       

      Please tell me how that means my claim that I saw the team going 5-7 after the spring game is busted. 

  15. Do you think they'd cut spring break short if I asked nicely?  I am in need of a practice news fix.

      I concur, so dilly dilly.  Tiwards the end of last season I didnt even set my alarm clock for the early games and if I overslept and missed the start of the game it was like oh well.  This year im on here an hour bwfore the game with a countdown going.

      I lurk on their forum occasionally, mostly to see how Frost had done things his first season there and because it's the off season. Some of it's pretty funny. E.g. they've convinced themselves their new coaching staff is an upgrade

    4. Scarlet Overkill

      Scarlet Overkill

      Same, @Moiraine.  I pop over sometimes if I'm super bored.  They're going to score more points than they did, play faster than they did, have better coaches than they did -- considering Heuple comes from a deeper coaching tree and whatnot, and bonus -- they have clown cars full of talent.  They reminded me of Kansas Fan after their orange bowl season.

      I think we got 6 complete sets (3 from each mint) collected.  I don’t recall Nebraska being a tough one but quite a few from the Philly mint were hard to come by around here.

      Yep, best thing for cleaning lenses is a good clean microfiber cloth. Even the larger ones they sell for cars work great. Dont use paper towels, kleenex, etc, also shirts with polyester in them arent good, has to be 100% clean cotton shirt.

    3. RedDenver

      Lens wipes are the best for cleaning glasses - or any lens really.

    4. Scarlet Overkill

      Scarlet Overkill

      Lens wipes, IMO, are the worst and is likely the sole reason my scratched lenses are as bad as they are.  (Plus, they’re two prescriptions ago, so perty old). The microfiber is all I will use now.

      Being able to talk coherently and knowledgeably, and specifically about football, is not a requirement. That's why there are only a few good ones at any point in time...sheer luck.

      Sometimes, I think people look dumber than what they might be just because of the way segments end up coming together, especially when you consider the LIVE component of things. Then also, I think that people play roles sometimes instead of having something that they believe in, they are told what position to have. And maybe a guy ends up looking like a tool or looking like a hypocrite because the producers say, "Hey, we need someone to be the anti-What Ever Team."

    4. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      So, what you're saying is, Desmond's not only bad at his job but he's a sellout too? 

       

      Sorry, I don't like him. I can handle Corso being lost and befuddled. I can't handle Howard's view of practically anything. If he's being told to say that much stupid sh#t, he needs to stand up for himself.
