      Oh, for sure. He appears to be eminently qualified -- as Garland was. I am glad it's not some kook. The issue is that he's taking a seat that should have been allowed to be filled (or voted down) by the previous president's nominee.

      So for opposition to Gorsuch, I understand and endorse it on two levels: 1) this should be Obama's nomination, and 2) you can make a partisan "he's not moderate enough" argument. He certainly was not nominated to be a *moderate* judge.

      Wait a goldarn minute.......a good Husker fan let their daughter go to school in Boulder? For shame.

      I joke of course. We've bad talked the Buffs so much in our house that my daughter won't even consider going to college there, even though it is a pretty good school.

  2. Anybody have any experience donating plasma?

      @Diaco- had that happen to me once, the only time it took over an hour to fill my jar. It looked nasty, and I couldn't donate again until the color went away.

      I second what Atbone said. I am not a fan of those trackmark scars. They stuck with me.

      I did it during my UNL days maybe 20 times or so. Needed the cash. Plus it saved $$ on booze since it doesn't take as much. lol

  3. I buckled and bought a smartwatch. I feel dirty, you guise. But I also feel like a happenin' hipster.

      Most of the font is pretty large, IMO, JJ. If some of it is too long, it will scroll across the screen to allow for bigger font. It does this for headlines. There's also a font size setting. Medium is pretty good for me.

       

      I've always been a watch guy, Zoogs. Professional looking and functional, IMO. Always looking at phone for time is a bad look.

      I'd thus far resisted smartwatches as they gained popularity like I did at one time many moons ago with smartphones. Turns out they're great!

      I guess I just don't need that. Probably just the old grumpy guy in me talking but I'm perfectly content with my phone for that stuff. Besides, I've grown to enjoy not wearing a watch. I'm happy for you tho ;-)

      Jeez...

       

      Kind of a spin on "If you're not hiding anything, you've got nothing to worry about."

      Yes, it was a joke. I didnt even look at the article.

      It's funny because none of us are Mexicans?

  4. And just like that, AP and Charles are shown the door. Two of the best players of their generation, if not top RBs of all time. Weird to think about them just sitting on the wire...

    1. whateveritis1224

      whateveritis1224

      AP had a bad year with a terrible contract and ho many years has it been since Charles played a full 16 games?

    2. Huskerzoo

      Huskerzoo

      Shelf life of RBs isn't great. The fact they've played as long as they have at the level they have is pretty remarkable. Especially for AP imo.

      Decent backups in 2017, but not much more.

  5. Can anyone think of a more ghoulish looking person than Sheldon Adelson? He's the new Al Davis.

  6. Husker baseball... woof. Not a good start for the Fightin' Erstads.

      Should we fire him soon?

  7. Dang. Baseball rained out again.

      It would have been nice to get more game reps before the next 2 weekends against pretty tough competition, but that happens sometimes. Crazy weather in Arizona.

      Early season games have to be at locations to avoid bad weather in Lincoln *checks forecast* Doah!

  8. Kicking the feet up relaxing and listening to Husker baseball... man have I missed this!

      unfortunately won't be able to do that today. :(

  9. The magic of old Family Guy was that it was so well written you forget a lot of the jokes. I still laugh when I watch episodes I've probably seen 10 times because I don't remember half the random jokes they slipped in there.

    1. Redux

      Redux

      It's basically a different show these days. I like both the older version and new version, but the old version did have a lot more subtle humor as opposed to shock value and dirty jokes.

      Amazing to watch these shows evolve over time, kind of like what the Simpsons has done over the years.

      South Park is the one that evolved the craziest.

  10. GF was bartending tonight at Crouch's business function. Said that she had gotten pretty light tips and had gone out to her car to leave for the night. But she left her phone inside. On the way back in, someone told her they didn't know she was leaving. Went back inside and Crouch and his partner tipped her $60.

      Bartender GF's am I right!

  11. Bernie debating Ted Cruz tonight. Is this some kind of super-secret prelude to a do-over? Please.

      What's the point? Like we don't get enough of this crap when there's a reason for it.

    3. VectorVictor

      Yet we watch bowl games where there's nothing on the line except pride and a crappy $50 trophy.

       

    4. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Yep. I don't even need pride or a crappy trophy on the line to pick football over listening to politicians, who have f'd things up, tell us how to fix those very things that they have failed to fix already. They're good at talking but suck at actually doing anything. Complete waste of time to listen to them imo.

  12. I bet Cacti is at full mast right now.

  13. Will we ever land another recruit?

  14. RIP Carrie. She's up there hanging out with Anakin, Yoda, and Obi Wan somewhere.

  15. Just got my Tile tracking units for my wallet and keys in the mail. Anybody used these things before? They seem really nifty. The amount o time I've wasted in my life looking for lost stuff...

      If you use the iPhone app too, it is fantastic. I couldnt find my phone last night after a night of drinking. A double tap of the e and the sound goes off, even if the phone is on silent.

      I think I'll get my wife some of those for Christmas. She's constantly losing or looking for her keys and phone.

      I would love to get a few of these and use them. Unfortunatley, the key I want to attach to it is lost at present. ~ sad, rolls eyes!

      Without even knowing that's fake news, that just doesn't make sense. Seems like Russia would want Hillary in the White House. :shrug:

      Trump can't win the popular vote in the USA, at least it appears his is favored somewhere in the world. #UnpopularTrump #Sad

  17. Day of the walking wounded! Who DIDN'T get hurt today? A.J. Green probably has a torn hamstring and my fantasy season is over...

      My liver has been hurting, but that's not as uncommon as you may think.

  19. It's official! We had our first election day votes cast! The great Dixville Notch, NH! Your current standings: Hillary Clinton 4, Donald Trump 2, Gary Johnson 1, Mitt Romney 1

      I think this Romney guy has a chance

  20. Why is it that NU can never field a healthy OL? We certainly don't have the depth to be losing our starters, but I just realized I have no idea when the last time our OL stayed healthy and dominated. And OL was a sore spot last night...

      ^ Last years OL recruits have me optimistic. I'm still worried about our DL. I feel like we don't have a great edge guy.

    3. NUance

      NUance

      We didn't get ANY pressure on the edge last night. Their OTs handled us all night long.

    4. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      Part of the problem is that the coaches don't believe in subbing OL during the game. That philosophy helped contribute to the ongoing injury problems, IMO.

  21. Great SNL opening monologue!
