      @Danny Bateman   word of caution. I had one very similar to this that had a little white tube hooking to the water line. Woke up one morning around 1am to the sound of water and the carpet outside of my bathroom was wet and there was about an inch of water in there. It had become disconnected from the bidet and there wasn't any mechanism to stop it from just continuing to run.

      @JJ Husker  the cold water doesn't feel as bad as you'd think back there.

      Anyhow, I really liked it before all that happened and I want to get a real one once I have a house.

  2. Thinking about dipping my toe into the world of cigars. I know there are a few old pros on the board. Any words of advice?

  3. Not letting trans people into the military is discriminatory and hurts the military.

      I agree Dude...I also think that the barries/standards should be 100% exactly the same for everyone.  

    3. Danny Bateman

      Danny Bateman

      Yeah, you'll get no argument from me.

      There was a time when we freaked out about ladies in the military, too. But if they can meet all the same requirements as a man, why shouldn't they be allowed to do the same job?

      Republicans want everyone to be treated the same and to get away from identity politics, right? So why do this? This is not that.

    4. teachercd

      teachercd

      Totally agree...if the physical requirements are 100 push ups, 100 sit ups and running a mile...all in under 12 minutes...Boom...there you go.  Those are the requirements and you either make them or you don't.  If my house is on fire...I don't give a rats ass who is pulling me out...I only give a rats ass that they CAN pull me out.

  5. A little late to the party since this story broke yesterday or Monday (meant to put up a status then), but Saban is whining the rest of the NCAA has an "unfair advantage" over the SEC by utilizing satellite camps and graduate transfers. I don't think my brain knows how to respond to that...

      I think that is one issue Delany mentioned when he was asked about the SEC complaining about the camps. He said if they want to talk recruiting, then we will need to look at the WHOLE recruiting process.

      Maybe Saban should bitch to the SEC president since that's whose holding him back from hosting camps of his own.

      Sounds like he was in pretty bad shape during the last concert tour. He had to be carted around the concert arenas and helped onto the stage for each performance. He was able to do the concerts, but it must have taken a lot out of him to do so. He probably was on some pain killers during this time, as well.

      I had a friend at his very last concert last week.  Said the show was awesome.  But seeing Tom Petty at the Holleywood bowl would make everything awesome.  Hard to believe that show was only like a week ago.  He went downhill fast.

  10. This just popped into my head reading a thread: everyone knows. Banker's history as a DC is statistically underwhelming, but nobody brings up the fact that the PAC-12 features some of the most prolific offensive schools in the nation.

      Are you happy Knapp. Are you proud of what you've done? You're the leader of this ragtag clan of ruffians, and you've led them straight into this bout of mischief and tomfoolery.

      Tomfoolery!

       

      I think the explosion in Pac 12 offensive firepower and diversity has really come on in recent years. It's been acknowledged as one of the reasons Oregon State couldn't keep up any longer. They were reaching and overachieving as it was.

      We've done Sam's for a long time. I would do it for no other reason than their meat but we also get other things. Their beef and pork is 2nd to none, at least around here. Just got some choice ribeyes $6.98/Lb. Some stuff you can get as good of a deal at Walmart or other grocery store but we easily pay for the membership fee. Have not tried Costco.

      I can't really say I blame him. 

      How ticked off would you be as someone who played for one of the all time great NU teams to have to swallow this down & call it sunshine?

      I think a lot of the NU greats try to put a good face on and not embarrass the current staff or the program when things start to go south. Maybe more brutal honesty like Matt was putting out there would actually lead to something better.

      @ZRod He was just calling the game on the radio. If you ever want to listen in you can find it on the Husker website or TuneIn has the Husker IMG network as well. Sometimes I like to mute the TV guys & sync up the stream to get the hometown call.

      Seriously though, we've got no one taking responsibility, excuses being made left and right by staff AND players, a DC who doesn't know what "collective decision" means, players yelling at the fans through various media, another missed chance at a trophy... Just feels so dysfunctional.

  21. Here's a thought for the small subset of fans who stubbornly claim we can't fire a winning coach, no one will come here, etc.: Urban Meyer is 34-3 since he took over at Ohio State in 2012. He has yet to lose a regular season conferencce game. He already has a BCS appearance and an undefeated sanctioned year. OSU and Nebraska are very similar prestige and tradition-wise. Why can't NU have the same success?

      He's a prima donna. The way I understand it, he's a very selfish, me-first guy and he rubs a lot of other players the wrong way, even on his own team.

       

      The Hawks are cocky as hell too. But at least you've backed it up with one trophy and another SB appearance. It'd be pretty funny to see the Panthers, with al their dancing and showboating, drop their first playoff game.

    3. Savage Husker

      Savage Husker

      Yeah the SB champ team had a lot of attitude, which I think correallated to how dominating they were on the field. They've lost a lot of that swag, but being a sub .500 team thru 12 weeks should help curb that.

    4. Danny Bateman

      Y'all are rolling now though. That's what matters. Hot at the right time. I'm just hoping Philly dominates Washington Saturday and rolls NYG in week 17 to secure a playoff spot. We've been limping along this whole season.

  23. Boy. If we get it done this weekend, we could quite easily roll to 7-0 if we handle business. But after that? Ooofta. That homestretch will put some hair on your chest...
