  1. Trying to give someone a car for free is turning out to be an expensive endeavor.

      Too funny @The Dude - i *think* that's the very episode that was playing on my netflix as i drifted off to sleep last night.

  2. Seems like wherever i go in PA, i see at least 1 person sporting Husker apparel.

      Saw 2 cars this week in Milwaukee with Husker license plate frames.  The one was a Lexus SUV.  Told my Wisconsin buddies it was Barry Alvarez!

       

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

      Yeah, i don't care about their enjoyment of their time off, VectorVictor - I just don't.  I only care about myself.

       I still remember that drive to work when I tuned to Sports Nightly and heard we made that hire, the folks in the care next to probably thought I was nuts.

      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)

  5. Just made the first 2 ice cream batches for Easter.  (It's my thing)

      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.

      Homemade ice cream is the best! 

  6. I think it's totally rude of my boss to schedule a meeting during the game.  Wont even be able to check scores.

      Out of the meeting early ... seeing the score ... probably shouldn't have looked.

  7. Call me crazy, but after returning to work after jury duty, i was really wishing i had been chosen to be on the murder trial.

      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.

      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.

  9. My Title IV idea to balance out M/W for FB:  Start a women's hockey team at NU.  Why not?

    1. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      I like it but then we would want to add men's hockey so would still need to balance the numbers. Really would like to see UNL add some hockey. Its my favorite sport to watch besides Husker football.

      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.

  14. Senior Bowl anyone? 

    1. Scarlet Overkill

      Scarlet Overkill

      Looking to see the Griffin kid play, as well as the WR from ISU (Lazard).  And, hope TLee at least doesnt embarrass himself too badly.

      Yeah, my typical day is about 7-5:30. The only times I have left before 4:30 has been for the kids sports events or I like to schedule doctor/dentist appts for about 4:00. But if it's a particularly rough morning I may snooze it for an extra hour. I  probably wouldn't make it at a job if I had to be there right on time. Gotten spoiled setting my own hours.

    3. ZRod

      ZRod

      They say we're supposed to be available by 8:30, but my boss is extremely chill and doesn't care when we come in and when we leave as long as we get our job done and don't owe anything.

      @teachercd - my first plan of attack is actually applying (in a round about way) to the place i was before i took this 7th circle of hell position, so they MIGHT pick up on the fact that I wasn't there for the past 2.5 years.  (Or they might not??). :lol: 

       

      Whatever it is will be temporary only till we move back to the Midwest in late summer/early fall.  Just need it to pay the bills until then.

  18. 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.

      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.

    1. zoogs

      zoogs

      Was it possible in the last version of the board? I actually did not know that you could disable viewing avatars. I looked around and have not found anything. You can disable signatures on a per-person basis now. They should have the same feature for avatars, but it looks like they don't.

    2. Scarlet Overkill

      Scarlet Overkill

      yep, it was in the last version... guess it has been removed. oh well.

      well, heck... not the one I was thinking of, but that's ok, tyvm anyway - I can compile what I'm looking for, just wanted easy access to it. (lazy)
