World of work sucks. I know it seems nice to be making money but it’s not. 

Congratulations!  Your last bastion of irresponsibility!

You, sir, ROCK!!  Good job!

Perhaps I'm explaining this poorly.

Now that I've thought about it. I don't believe TO called up Frost and ordered him back to Lincoln.

But you guys really think it's nuts for him to call and at least put out feelers for Frost's interest in inheriting his old team? As intimately as TO was in bringing Bo back to Lincoln & selecting SE as his own replacement as AD?

That was his job at the time. He's a mentor to Frost, and like the players he mentored he will not tell them what to do in life. He will give them advice about what to do though. At least that seems to be his character.

I think that's fair. Obviously TO's character is beyond reproach.

I still think I could see him acting as an ambassador of sorts if he truly believes it's best for all parties involved, but perhaps I'm alone in that.

Guise, is it worse than when Snapchat updated?

Am I missing something? What's so bad about it?

@knapplc

Yep!

Crap ... it's about that time isn't it.  My month of August has disappeared.  Especially without "real" football to look forward to.

If there's sufficient interest I'd be down to do one. If not with everything going on that's OK too. Just thought I'd check.

I think my team finished last in back to back seasons lol

Sounds like someone is trying to get someone drunk!

Dirty martini Tito’s vodka is my preferred.  But I am more of a scotch/whiskey guy.  

I hope he leaves his problems in Pittsburgh.

Many troubled players have found new life in Oakland/LA/Oakland/LA/San Diego/Las Vegas. Time will tell.

Insane. Gruden upgraded at WR1 and still holds onto a better pick. But hey, he’s not worth $10mil/year

I do for Boxing and I think $10 per month is too much.  If you like all sports, maybe worth it?  I guess?

I think it would be worth it if you have an FCS team or something you enjoy watching. 

@The Dude I wanted it for MMA and boxing, mainly. The UFC has basically forced people to buy it if they want to watch events.  I find the concept of having to buy the PPVs on top of an ESPN+ sub for the biggest fights annoying, though.

Anyway, I wound up getting it for $3.33/mo for a year. How are you paying $10?

Definitely check what they cover!

My only experience is them calling out of the blue claiming my new trucks warranty is about to expire after a week and maybe 200 miles.  Now they just robo dial me once a week claiming this will be their last call, but I know it wont be.

See if they require photos of broken or worn out parts.  Happened to a coworker on some leaking AC hoses.  Just because they say they cover a part doesn't mean they'll make it straight forward to get any money out of them.  They've always given off a scammy feel to me.  I go the self insured route.

Unita Detour DIPA (One of my favorite IPA's)

Sante Fe Brewing - Java Stout (Best coffee and beer I have found)

Nebraska Brewing - Cardinal Pale Ale (I don't like pale ales, but this has a twist I like)

Boulevard - Tank 7 (Only Saison I like)

Toppling Goliath - King Sue DIPA (Can't go wrong with most of there stuff)

4 Noses Brewery in Broomfield is really good. I've liked everything I've tried of theirs.

@deedsker Santa Fe Brewing is very underrated. I don't like coffee-flavored beer, but I really like their IPAs and their seasonals (Farmhouse Ale and Winter something were excellent).

@RedDenver Never had any of their other stuff. I make sure to get some java stout when I visit Colorado. Never been to New Mexico and haven’t found it elsewhere.

If this game gets out of hand Tom will need a distraction,good thinking by who ever set this up

I was thinking the same thing Teach.  Oh well.  Hope it doesn't get awkward.

Hopefully Murray has other people to entertain him.

I root for him always. It’s obvious he’s  got demons that he battles daily. I actually admire the try and try again attitude. 

I hope he has turned the corner, and has a good life from here on. As much as I dislike the cowboys, I wish him well.

GBR!!!

But I was told he just likes to get high!! /s

I'm really happy for Randy, not just because he's a Husker, and not just because he's a Cowboy, but just as person getting their s#!t straightened out.

LB Christian Hood

@ColoradoHusk either that or the team a few years ago that went 12-0 and lost a close game in the conference championship to Ohio State 

The best thing TO could have done is run the show from the AD chair like Alvarez.

They got totally dominated...once OSU woke up.  They were the sacrificial lamb.  They were UVA vs Clemson except that Daba pushed the right buttons to motivate his team from the start.

Did Wisconsin even gain a yard in the second half?

This would be really cool: 

The Washington Mule Deer has a nice ring to it.

I think the team needs input from the Sioux, Cherokee, Commanche, Navajo, etc, and all of the other great tribes, more than they need pressure from corporate business leaders or my input.

Actually sort of surprised how cheap they got him. Frost's contract will be better than Kelly's.  Think about that.  

Florida is having some blue balls to match their blue shirts.  

@chamrocck Probably will be. Isn't the purported Frost deal supposed to be $5M+/yr?
 

At that point, the small difference is completely frivolous. Especially when the university is paying of $20+M in buyouts at this point. I can't even put into words how much I'd rather have Frost in Lincoln than Chipper.

Makes my Cardinals hire look almost normal. 

Surprised they didn't pick McCarthy.

Many of the teams with young QB's are going with head coaches who can try to develop them.  They are trying to replicate the Sean McVay-Jared Goff recipe.  That's why Coach Bro and Gase are being hired.  Also, just a few years ago, Adam Gase was the hotshot QB coach.  He didn't do well with Ryan Tannehill, but that could be on Tannehill.  It will be interesting if Gase can develop Sam Darnold.  I am not a Jets fan, just a neutral observer.

going with yif, it's Swedish for gif.

Best line ever: Make a peanut butter brand called Gif and let it get settled for-once-and-all in the courts

Amen on all of that @Xmas32. Thanks for the tip on that 30 for 30. Been meaning to watch more of those. Loved the one on Tommy Morrison. 

It also help that MMA is on multiple times a week now. Tonight they've got a new Contender Series episode with 5 fights. There are frequently Bellator tourneys on Thursdays in regular times. And Fight Nights or UFC ___ most weekends. They've done an excellent job promoting their sport and filling the vacuum left as boxing has waned.

@JJ Husker I love watching old boxing matches. Ali is like watching a piece of art being created; smooth, agile, and creative, he gets in you head psychologically. Tyson is a thing of terror; pure rage with manic power and speed, he's in your head because he's scary as s#!t.

Since we're on the Tyson train...here's a link to all his fights in chronological order if anyone wants to fall down a rabbit hole for a few hours.

Bless him and god bless is service to this country. He and Barbara reunited 

RIP Mr. President.

Another good one gone...
