      Yeah, i see no way UCF loses this one.

      I'd love to see UCF go undefeated, but I'd be shocked if they are in this one without Milton.

  3. Wisconsin cancelling their Spring Game?  Can you imagine the uproar if that happened here?

      We canceled day of due to weather, like Wisconsin had to last year.

       

      This year they’re just not having one. Nobody really attended, anyhow.

      I was at the 2012 Spring Game.

       

      I was also at the 2018 Akron game. 

       

      They both sucked.

      Yeah ol BTN has been cranking out the NU content recently.  In the past week they've shown the 97 special, the Brook movie and a couple of past bowl games.  Not too shabby!

      @KnappIc It was in reference to attending bowl games (once in the last 4 years)

  5. What started as an urge to buy new furniture has turned into a complete renovation with all new paint, flooring and appliances (and can’t forget the new sliding glass doors).  $$$

      Going to scale it back a bit this year after a frenzied finish last year.  Gonna stick with strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, and my personal favorite, mint chip.

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Plain old vanilla is my favorite but a close second would be pralines and cream or butter brickle.

      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.

    3. Scarlet Overkill

      Scarlet Overkill

      Philly was prolly easier around here, since, well, we live and work < 75 miles away.

      A real ear of corn, and the guy who got the turnover has to eat it. Floss and toothpicks on standby.

      What about a turnover combine? Whoever gets the turnover gets to drive the combine up and down the field on east stadium.

      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.

      JJ Husker

      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.

    3. tmfr15

      tmfr15

      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.

  16. Glad I'm not a Thug U fan - the phrase "turnover chain" got on my nerves 5 minutes into the game.  If it was a drinking game, I'd have been plastered half way through the first quarter.

      probably used to about the blackshirts. Now they just laugh about it.

    4. Shooter

      Shooter

      The Blackshirt is owned by hard work over time and represents the recognition of that effort.  The Turnover Chain is a reward for dumb luck.  It's like a jackass wearing a tiara and screaming "Look at me, I'm a princess!"  I applaud Frost's comments that it isn't what we wish to focus on here.

      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.

    3. Mavric

      Mavric

      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.

    4. Scarlet Overkill

      Scarlet Overkill

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

      Even back then, there were a fair number of people wishing for Frost.  I didnt personally want him then, but wanted a coach who was a proven winner rather than a .500 guy.  Kind of knew we'd be headed down this path.  (As did many)

      It's a pretty sad, when FCS and DII players are taken - because they worked hard to get noticed.  Meanwhile, we had talent here that went completely undeveloped and allowed to slack off.

      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
