  1. Orange juice is superior to apple and grape juice. Come at me, fellow kids.

      @krc1995 And no one's ever made a Tequila Sunrise with apple juice!

       

      I draw the line at Bloody Mary's. Those are gross.

  2. Nebraska football in a nutshell is basically how many repeated blows can you take before you finally don’t care anymore. I don’t miss spring football or college athletics nearly as much as I thought I would. 

  3. Noah Vedral to the transfer portal. Drat.

      I would hope it would be available to them if their school tried to slam the door shut on them. I know I read Wisconsin for one was not planning to keep their seniors on.

      @krc1995 IIRC the NCAA is extending a blanket extra year of eligibility for spring sports. I think it's kind of on individual schools and their student-athletes to decide whether they will take advantage of it.

       

      I'm not sure about Vedral though since it's not a spring sport, he's a grad assistant and he's still got two years of eligibility.

      Best for all parties. He's got a ton of heart but he's a terrible fit for the offense. Maybe he saw the writing on the wall given McCaffrey's performance last year.

       

      He'll always be a Husker, though. Hopefully he can start somewhere else.

       

      How the heck is eligibility going to work with guys like him if we don't have football this year?

      I'm really going to have to take all your advice and pick up a French Press. I bought this machine for $50 when it was on sale because I read pour over machines hit all the specifications set by independent agencies to make a really good cup.

       

      I will say I generally prefer mine black as well but if I had to pick a favorite cream flavor it's Irish Cream. Got a big jug of that in the fridge right now and it's delightful.

  9. How's about we just forfeit the rest of both baseball and basketball season and let them practice for next year?

      @Cdog923 The pen is concerning. Schanaman in particular has gotten lit to start the season. SSS though so one can hope it's just bad luck.

      Baseball generally struggles early because they have to play a lot of West Coast teams including some powerhouses since the year always starts with a road trip due to weather constraints. One of the drawbacks of living in the Midwest.

       

      Plus it's Bolt's first year. I'm still pretty happy with the hire because the direction of the program was pretty listless under Erstad. His teams seem to have some pretty good life to them so far, just a lot of close losses and a tough schedule.

       

      I think baseball is in good hands. Basketball - yeesh. Hoiberg is still the best hire we could get. Let's hope this is a transition year thing and they're going to reload next season.

      So basically what we're finding out is Huskerboard has a bunch of Cokeheads.

      Coke... Zero?

       

      Tastes way more like the leaded stuff than Diet Coke, IMO.

  15. So this Rose Bowl ought to be an interesting case study in whether our future offense can work in the Big 10, right?

  16. I am pretty disappointed with recruiting right now.

      Top 10 team. Playing for a conference championship. Couldn't hang with probably the best team in the nation. Will still go to a top tier bowl game.

       

      I have no idea how Nebraska fan talks down on that, like at all.

      Potentially a playoff berth? Not really likely but that's more of an artifact of a stupid four-team format that's likely changing soon anyway.

       

      When they move to an 8-team playoff, Wisconsin would be in contention year in and year out.

      I'd much rather be that then where we are now.

      @B.B. Hemingway Absolutely. Just from their toughness to their execution to stylistically, they're everything old-school Husker fan wants in a team. The championships haven't been there, but everything else has and they're just so consistently good year in and year out.

       

      @teachercd They just spent a half of football punching the top team in the nation in the mouth and largely kicking their butt. And we're left looking for silver linings at 5-7.

  21. This game nearly broke me.

  22. Whenever I watch these top 10 teams play I feel like my Huskers go into a gun fight with water pistols. The speed of the running backs and wide receivers, the size and quickness of the D lineman is nearly depressing.
