  1. Am I actually cheering for Texas? I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

      Hard choices.

      I don't get how anyone could hate ND more. They've got a large following but at least their admin hasn't overstepped their boundaries to wreck a conference or two.

      I hate Texas. But I really like Charlie Strong. I didn't know what to do

  2. Am I the only one who thinks Riley's pro style offense and Frost's Oregon roots make him an awkward choice as OC?

      No, which is one of the many reasons I'm not happy with this hire.

      There are other proven OC's out there. Hold off judgment until he gets his staff in place.

  3. And in other news, Kentucky is your new #1 in Rivals FOOTBALL recruiting rankings.

      just wait until half their class decommits after seeing Kentucky play football this season.

      Are you kidding? Give the kids the ol' "Look how much we suck, that's why you'll play Day 1" pitch and they'll all stay. Cash doesn't hurt either.

  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

      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.

      I can't argue with the above. I haven't read the article and I'm not interested.

       

      The NFL flubbed Deflategate, as is their wont (and perhaps right), but nothing's going to change with the penalties.

  6. Any of you fellows know of any good resources for someone interested in coaching someday? I'd be a football coach, so sport specific stuff is good, but also stuff about other overarching principles like leadership would be appreciated too. I've started grabbing a few books, found some websites, podcasts. Any suggestions? Feel free to PM me.

      I don't think doing a coach is going to make you a coach. You're thinking of STDs

    3. ZRod

      ZRod

      Books are always a great way to learn, but like Shark said doing is probably the best way of all. Have you coached youth leagues yet? That's where I would start. Learning about leadership comes from study, but also life experiences. You figure out quickly in the real world what works and what doesn't when it comes to managing people.

      I tried to stay up and watch it, but I've been a bit under the weather lately and I couldn't manage it. Was it good?

  10. Anybody ever get into the Hellsing anime or Vampire Hunter D movies? I've been on a serious vampire kick lately.

      @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

  14. Anybody have any experience using Costco or Sam's Club? Trying to decide if I want a membership to either.

      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.

  15. Anybody have any experience with cars with a salvage title? I know one should definitely be careful but I found one that got one due to hail and everything else seems to be in working order. I'm not really that concerned with resale value either since I may try to pass it on to my little brother in a few years if I do get it.

      One thing to check is whether a car needs body work (where the frame is not damaged). The parts can be replaced but the shops that do these cars often use the cheapest they can find and the paint job may not hold up over time but mechanically it will get you from Point A to Point B.

    3. Danny Bateman

      Danny Bateman

      Like I said, the one I found was salvaged due to hail, but they repaired the body and it looks great. The only thing I noticed at all is a white spot near the wheel well... The guy said it was because they lived on a dirt road. I'm hoping it's that and not what you said about cheap parts Tony. It's only got 83K in it and the initial salvage happened early on so mechanically it should be good...

    4. scarletNcream

      scarletNcream

      Check with your insurance company and see if they cover salvage cars. There are a lot of reasons for salvage titles. Generally if the air bags were deployed they do not replace them. Hail,in Nebraska, is a common reason.

  19. Anybody still watching South Park? Their take on the election has actually been pretty good thus far. And I thought they jumped the shark...

      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!

  22. Anything worth watching on HBO, Showtime, or Skinemax?

      If it wasn't for GoT I'd get rid of HBO. Well, I guess, plus a lot of their older series, unless you're all up to date them.
