  1. Anyone really familiar with KC?  My wife, kids (age 8) and I are staying at "The Plaza" area over New Years.  Is there anything to do besides shop and swim at the hotel, the weather is supposed to be cold!  Any ideas or suggestions?

      All these are great ideas.  My choice for BBQ is JackStack.  I always go to the original store on 135th in Martin City, a few miles east of State Line.  That would be quite a ways from where you are staying but the smells in that 50+ year old building are incredible.  You feel like you are inside the smoker.

      My suggestion would be, take a vacation to Southern Florida. :D

      Go eat breakfast at eggtc one morning.  You might have a little wait but it is well worth it. 

  2. Got stuck with Rex in an auction league while trying to drive up the bid.  Everybody laughed at me especially because I drafted Elliott on the cheap with suspension pending.  Burkhead picked up where Elliott left off; I'm looking like GM of the year right now :)

     

  3. Taking one of my boys to his first real Husker game against Iowa (he has gone to the last 3 Spring Games).  He was excited to hear that Nebraska will actually be playing another team, and even more excited to hear it is against Iowa.  Now for "the sad": he isn't sure if he wants to wear red or black.  This is a big game for the future of my household, Mr. Riley!!!

      I gave you a +1 because your Rep was sitting at "666" and that number gives me the willies.

      fun game regardless.  Maybe we'll do a black out to offset all the Hawkeyes sure to flock to Lincoln.

      Could be a good learning experience.  You can say that as bad as this season has been, at least we aren't them (pointing at hawks fans).  Hope you have fun.  

  4. Question for the recruiting fans: was Jonathon Taylor ever a target for Riley?  Not necessarily that he even thought of Nebraska, but was he offered?  This kid is fun to watch.

     

  5. .I just got yelled at for helping with the wash.  Evidently, they make wash rags that you aren't supposed to wash in the laundry. It was a freaking "sitcom" moment. (except no one was laughing). I'm still shaking my head....

  6. How does an "unnamed coached" purchase tickets for an "unidentified" team to attend the concert of a "certain" artist, when he isn't even able to buy them a book?

     

    I'm really confused about how the NCAA works.....

  7. Context aside for a moment: what would you say about a Presidential campaign that had a "foreign agent" as the head of the campaign and also a "foreign agent" as Head of National Security? This is just mind boggling....

  8. Has anyone here ever got sent to collections for driving on "E470" by Denver? Received a notice in the mail today from a law firm for collection. We were in Denver over New Year's, but never recall seeing a "toll" road...

      Or someone has tossed the bills into the trash and isn't admitting it. There is probably a couple other legitimate possibilities as well, all your own fault.

      Stop being a dick. You dont know the situation and living in Denver doesnt make you an expert

      Drove it multiple times in 2012 & 2014. We live in Iowa. Have never received a bill or collections. I even emailed asking about how to pay tolls and got no response from them.

  9. ESPN website says the Huskers finished 9-4. I'd like to point out the "alternative fact" that they went 14-0. Congrats Huskers!!!!

  10. "My enemies want me to get rid of Twitter" Our enemy is no longer ISIS or Al Queda, it is now people who want to see decorum from the office of POTUS.

  11. I'm okay if you think Bo's attitude caused his firing. But can we please quit with the "Pelini teams quit" narrative?

      Thanks_Tom RR

      MOV does not always equate to the effort of the team, or lack there of. Nebraska lost to Purdue last year by 10 points, but that game more than any of the Riley tenure is an example of a team giving up (with the exception of a few players like Westerkamp).

       

      The same can be said for games in the Pelini tenure. The most obvious was the B1G Championship game, where you could see players no longer believing in the game plan and playing for themselves.

      So Bo's teams quit in at least 9 games but since they came back iI some others, that is proof they never quit or that they will never quit again? That's not logical reasoning but George Orwell and the ministry of truth would be proud.

    4. Thanks_Tom RR

      Thanks_Tom RR

      Whatever your point is, funhusker, Bo's got fired for his conduct, both what we saw as fans and the culture that was created in the program that we didn't (first), and his ability to win championships (second). I think Bo could have won championships at Nebraska, his teams played for one almost every other year, but they didn't. Like a bad relationship, there is a moment where breaking up is the best option for all parties involved.

  12. Nebraska vs. Florida in the Outback Bowl would be a fun match up...At least that is where ESPN projected they'd go last night

      Have seen a couple music city bowl predictions this morning with Iowa going to outback. .ugh!

  13. Anyone have any advice on a basketball offense for 1st and 2nd graders with very limited organized basketball experience?

      As a high school head coach, I have to tell you that I think there is not enough work on running an offense. Not sets, an actual offense. Youth coaches either won't or can't run one and hurts development.

      Thanks for the input guys. Deed, I get what you're saying. That is why I was hoping to do a simple motion. Have them move the ball around and find spots on the floor. This also goes with setting screens and ball handling basics.

  14. Anyone know how long it takes for WatchESPN to post "replays"? We have FF at 11:45 and trying to decide if I want to avoid the radio and chatter until later this afternoon to watch it at home.

  15. "Blackouts" er bad, emkaayy...

      When I read about Millard's response to Thursday night's game, the only thing I could picture was Mackey in front on Millard North students talking about race relations...

  16. I know there are a lot of things going on today with the press conference and Eichorst's letter, but does anyone know who the committment is that was picked up today?

      Oh geezus, tongue in cheek. Not everything is so serious. Just wondering who the commit is, no one else has mentioned one...

  17. SEC football: blown defense and fumbles...crisp!

      But they are the dominant conference so that doesn't matter

  18. I understand why kids shouldn't call eachother stupid: growing bodies, growing minds, adjusting to the world, etc. But there comes a time when we are what we are as adults. So, shouldn't it be perfectly acceptable to call another adult "stupid" when in fact they are just "stupid"?

      There are NO stupid questions. Just stupid people that ask questions. However, you can't call them stupid.
