@Enhance Normally I would agree with the take that you need to do enough to not let one flubbed call cost you the game. However, this particular non-call was worse than that. Just the fact of how blatant and obvious it was coupled with only 1:41 left in the game. It really was a game changer. They've got every right to bitch and moan for a long long time. But no, legal action to overturn it or re-start the game from that point is ridiculous. Sometimes bad calls have terrible consequences. I still have no idea what that ref, who was staring right at it, thought he saw. It's too bad with all the time they waste on replays that they couldn't have reviewed this one and got it right.

@JJ Husker And I get that viewpoint but, so long as we allow humans to participate in sports (), we are susceptible to these kinds of mistakes. A lot of people seem to want their cake and eat it on this situation - they want to be able to control this specific issue while largely being OK with other elements in their control/out of their control that they perceive to have not had as big of an impact, even if that's not wholly true.

I mean, people vilify players for dropping passes, missing field goals, throwing picks, getting penalties in key moments, etc. You name it. It's all part of the game and they can all cost you a game. But, a referee screws up and that's worthy of saying the Super Bowl is 'tainted' or we need to replay that part of the game. I just don't get that reaction.

Yup, had Parkey not missed that FG against Philly this isn't even a thing.  Change one thing, change everything.  Pandoras Box.

Have had it since January and am pretty happy with it. Wife watches a lot of shows on local cable TV so she doesn't miss those and it covers all the sports channels for me. Helps too that you get some decent movie channels. 

I haven't had any issues with streaming quality or anything like that. They've also added MLB Network and NBA TV since I joined among other channels and my price hasn't changed. Also like being able to control it all from my phone. 

Thanks for all the feedback everyone.

I think I might do the trial near the end of May when the Monaco Grand Prix happens as it looks like Youtube TV has NBCSN. My main focus is going to be during the college football season, though.

I might try the free trial too.  We just got rid of cable TV.  So I'm looking for an alternate source of streaming content aside from Netflix.  

I feel so bad for the girls that friend-zoned those guys so bad that they felt guilty and decided to be in that video.

@krc1995 only if you were going Independent. No other conference will touch them now.

Well...okay, maybe the AAC. Or Sun Belt. But that’s it.

Mountain West maybe? Probably too slimy and a touch to east 

@Xmas32 it also helps that their product isn't a$$. Just sayin.

I mean if employee retention is what you want and it benefits the bottom line to pay them 2-3 times what you've been doing, fine. But it still isn't going to do much for a Taco Bell type place as far as increasing customers and sales. It might have the effect of lowering their costs tho.

I have a feeling that those little 4 oz. Taco Bell soft tacos are soon going to weigh in at about 2 oz.  

@JJ Husker I agree that Taco Bell's pilot program is probably doomed to fail.  Too many things working against it.

Went through this myself last month. Is there a set airline that you use? The only thing that’s nice about airline cards is some give you a free bag, priority boarding and other perks that are pretty much hassle free to use. But I chose the Sapphire. It’s a very heavy card. 

I use a Chase Sapphire Preferred and its great. Although if you are considering a Chase Sapphire Preferred, get the Chase Sapphire Reserve instead. It's annual fee is $350 extra per year, but you get $300 each year in travel vouchers, more cash back per expenditures, and free global entry.

Both cards provide free rental car insurance and insurance for electronic purchases. 

Then it is your duty, huskerscott, to inform HB upon your delivery so that we may go and buy your beer.

Huskerscott, you may deliver said beer to my house.

Whats the weather like there?

Haha, I thought you meant when using text messaging you don't have to double space to end the sentence with a period.

I refuse to single space.

I haven't doubled in years.

@Redux IMO, I don't believe so--one thing that was appealing about the B1G and that we pride ourselves on is that DoNU is pretty good, academically, and we have been looking for some time to improve on that.

We've improved our academics in spades with the B1G, and it's gotten the notice of schools like Oklahoma that are in a similar situation. Unless Oklahoma has a course change in their future goals re: academics, academic improvement via the B1G is why Oklahoma to the B1G down the road will have a very strong likelihood (even though their idiot fans want the SEC ). 

Joining the SEC would have had an adverse effect on our academics--we wouldn't have partnerships with the few Big XII schools that did happen to remember they were a school first, and the SEC doesn't have any sort of academic consortium (or any sort of inter-conference academic programs of note). At best, our academics in the SEC would be moribund. 

Now, IIRC, the Pac-12 (and the Pac-10) did have something similar, but not as encompassing, as the B1G's academic consortium. So to respond to your question, perhaps we could have been moving buddies with Colorado to the Pac-12 instead? 

I don't think the PAC 10 would have been very appealing to Nebraska, geographically speaking it's further than most the B1G trips and they don't really fit into either division very well.  A yearly match with USC may be appealing but still.

With as hot as the SEC was in 2010-2011 an invite would have been pretty hard to turn down.  Joining a footprint where recruiting is almost on cruise control and you get national love in the form of rankings without doing anything.

@Redux I agree, a Pac-10 invite wouldn't have been appealing, but it still would have been better than our current situation in the Big XII (though not by much). And don't forget matches with UCLA, or Oregon, or Washington (all teams that were certainly competent at the time). 

And I bet it would have been hard to turn a SEC invite down...if we had someone other than Dr. Tom at the helm. IMO, folks like Dr. Tom are quick to remember that Nebraska is more than football, and I don't think he cares for the dirty pool the SEC willingly plays in. 

Now, if it's an Eichorst, or maybe even a Moos making the decision back then, I'd agree. But not with Dr. Tom at the helm.

that's what I said!

Hes got Pauly's hair and hopefully the attitude of the Situation!

Hey Bondi..... "we got a situation"

I created a thread in the BS forum asking for project ideas. It can be about anything, really, like construction projects, some city ordinance..I mean any ideas would help.

year of the "clique" series

a quick look into the life of a Huskerboard poster

^84HuskerLaw would have the site paid off for the next 100 years.

Thank you for the urging - hope its embraced!

Done.

Free beer for everyone on Smug Mountain! Zoogs is buying, from what I hear.

Zoogs buys Old Milwaukee's Best Light though...

Hey! Shows what you know. We're so dull we don't even imaginary condone the drinking of alcohol. Instead, however, we will be handing out free bottles of rarefied air. Bask in the ethereal glory of its wafting breeze! #whatadeal

They've perfected vegetarian food. I would go days without eating meat, by accident, in California because there were so many great choices. The spice combinations are so hearty and amazing.

Was there an elephant?

No elephants either except in some designs.

@knapplc yes they have. I heaped a whole pile of what I thought were spicy meatballs onto my plate, only to have someone tell me later in the night they were vegan. The woman getting married has been a vegetarian for years and now I completely understand why.

Best part - no anniversary will ever be in conflict with a Husker game.  

Wonderful! We were in Barbados in February. Gorgeous island. So happy for you two!

Congrats on your getting hitched 

Oh yes she did, from beyond, which illustrates just how obvious it is!   

Woa dude, that was like a triple burn...

That's insane, who believes in that hoopla

Sex ,sometimes I just want to sleep 

Grocery shopping.  By the way, great question!  Oh, and BJ's...I am not as flexible anymore.

Oil change

Lucky, mine doubled.

25,000 @teachercd?  Do you live in a freaking castle or something!?!?

I am pretty sure putting in that moat was a bad idea!

Yeah, he was trying to play the janitor role with a thick accent and stuff.  So they canned him.

I think we know the responsible party involved here.

“At FOX Sports, we are proud of Dak Prescott for publicly revealing his struggle with depression and mental health,” the network said in a statement. “No matter the cause of the struggles, FOX Sports believes Dak showed tremendous courage which is evident in both his leadership on the Dallas Cowboys and in his character off the field. We do not agree with Skip Bayless’ opinion on Undisputed this morning. We have addressed the significance of this matter with Skip and how his insensitive comments were received by people internally at Fox Sports and our audience.”

What Fox should've said:

"Look... we know that Skip has trash takes, but y'all keep giving him attention and making us a ton of money, and what he said wasn't reaaaaaally bad enough to force us to have to remove him. So... I mean yeah we feel bad about what he said, and we'll try to make him not be so mean in the future, but otherwise we're just going to carry on."

@Enhance

Sorry, not sorry!

"Woodhouse! We got any lube? Like, even olive oil at this point would help."

Sir the stolen lemur got into the pudding pops and bit on your prostitutes in the face and she says she can't go to the hospital because she is tripping balls!

"Cyril, come on. Worst case scenario, her cover got blown and Skorpio's raping her senseless before he chops her battered corpse into fish food. What? I said worst case."

Can you throw your monitor in a fade route?

I once broke a state record for completions in a thread - 74 throws and 82 catches. Exactly.

^^lol

IS that the one by Red Lobster skers?

actually the Vincent's House of Hunan out on HWY 77 and 56th?? was always the best.

anyone try Yang's Cafe by best buy? incredible. Fortune Palace is also great

Terrible hire. #firecoachmiles

Baseball could be in for a strong season too. I'm excited about all of it.

We have a lot to look forward too in all sports. I am pumped about all of them. It is good to have something more than football to talk about during the off season. There will be plenty of time to hash out FB. GBR!

Accountability, that was my point, as stated in my last line. I think seeing how opponents talk about you helps you objectify your own opinions and view a game from different perspectives.

Yep sometimes (most times) it's simply a matter of the better team winning on a given day. A lot of folks struggle with that concept.

I found myself saying "man Wisconsin sure is turning the ball over more than they normally do. Lucky us" then I had the epiphany that maybe Nebraska just plays defense that well.

BELLY ACHER YOU SILLY KNIGGIT.

Way to go, Moiraine!

So I'm not in? You guys want the commies to win or something?
