      I live in the dorms at UNO... they're apartment style, so we have quite a bit more room than traditional dorms. Best part of all is we Craigslisted it for $200. Split it four ways. We lovingly christened it "Size Does Matter."

      I was gonna say what OHM said but decided not to for some reason. I agree totally with you man. I checked up his minors stats and he's never had the power to suggest he could go on a tear like this there, either.

  3. Well... After peeing a game down their leg THAT badly (albeit against a quality opponent), Wiscy still sits one spot above us in the poll. #conspiracy

      I don't see how Wisconsin losing essentially on the road against a quality opponent in a close game is grounds for them dropping a mile in the rankings. I'm absolutely fine with them being ranked above us. Not that it means anything right now anyway

      As compared to SCeast. They should drop below Wisky imo

  4. The two things that sucks the most: 1) Announcers have been joking about how ****TY we've looked two weeks in a row and our national perception is a flaming bag of a dog poo and 2) This sloppy, mistake-filled, can't-execute play got our best player hurt against Purdue and now he should be shut down for the season. Find another place to play ol' boys club Bo.

      Ammer was fine. He was cutting on the "bad" knee full go. Took a shot that rehurt it. On a 9 yard gain. Wanna say about the9 minute mark in second? Anyway. Check the film

      Oh I'm not being the "Bo plays injured players" guy, Count. I'm just pissed that the coaches let something so fundamental and basic like the QB-Center exchange be a problem for so long this season our MVP got hurt in the first place.

      Ameer did t fet hurt cuz of the bad snap either. Ge git hurt cuz sh#t happens in football. Ge git stood up, pushed back, and rolled up on. It could happen on any other play and had nothing to with the snap.

      I think you have to go back and look at guys in the league and how they have done after that many carries the year prior.

      With Bell's injury issues, he could be put on the PUP list for a few weeks, or even on the practice squad until he gets healthy.

    3. Danny Bateman

      Danny Bateman

      I would imagine he's the type of guy who might pass through waivers if he's injured. Perhaps TB would do best to put him on the practice squad.

      The scarier part about this revelation is that Foster is supposedly a good run blocker. Pass Pro needs work. Why bring Sterup in to G if you plan on committing to the run? I have a feeling the game plan will feature more passing this week.

    4. Decked

      Decked

      Makes sense with Newby being out to be honest. And with the way our line has been blocking, they'll need to do a lot of quick passes.

  11. Found out today after some very anxious waiting that I've been accepted to the initial PT class at UNMC's Kearney campus starting next fall! I would've preferred Omaha since it has been my home the last six years, but I'm stoked for the opportunity. I'll be in the first PT class brekaing in a new $19 million dollar building that just opened this year...

      My internet is supposedly slightly faster than mrandyk's. He can get up to 60, and I 75. Not really a huge difference. Anything over 45 should be good for streaming, but you could be getting much less than that. You're only guaranteed a "will not exceed speed" not a minimum speed. Really 12 mbps should be great, but I think last time I checked that's what I get while paying for that upper limit... the consumer is screwed!

      When I worked at a local TV/computer store we had extended warranties, but we only got them because so many customers requested them. I don't think I ever saw anyone actually have to use their extended warranty.

    3. krc1995

      krc1995

      I wished the upgraded warranty on my pc purchased in August from costco. It was sent back four times from September to January. I had to participate in most gameday threads from my phone, and it was miserable. But then, I found out I had the warranty, but because I normally don't get warranties, i had forgotten. There is a moral to my story somewhere in here.

    4. krc1995

      I think the moral is that I am a poor typist, both on my phone and on my laptop.

      Did you hedge on the KC-Washington game at all?  If I were one game away from hitting a 7-game parlay, I would have done some hedging.

    3. Danny Bateman

      Danny Bateman

      @ColoradoHusk Nope. This was my first time on this book. Not familiar with how to hedge exactly. Decided to just let my $10 bet roll... 

    4. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      Hedging is really easy, it's just betting the opposite side from your parlay.  I understand you were only going to lose $10, but if you were going to win over $1,000 or nothing from one game, I would have put a few hundred dollars on the Skins to ensure myself winning some cash.

      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.

  21. Not trying to be Buzz Killington, but this great recruiting push ain't gonna mean jack if we don't learn to hold onto the football on the other side of the ball and block for a punt return. The majority of our losses are due to stupid mental mistakes on offense.

      A kicker that was fair to partly cloudy? Do you mean punter? We missed a few XPs early in the year, but we missed 1 field goal all year. We have been spoiled with our kickers for a long time, but don't assume that the next guy can do better than 12/13.

      It really doesn't matter how good of punt returner you are if you have 7 players tackling you the second you catch the ball.

      Huskerzoo, I pulled this from a recruiting profile... Whoever we're talking to about being a PR, the first question they need to be asked is "Can you make 5-6 unblocked men miss after you catch the ball?"
