  1. Does Lane end up with a top 15 class by Feb?

    1. MLB 51

      Depends on how much money they give him to spend.

      Probably by the end of the week.

      Lane is a helluva recruiter.  Vols at #18 right now.  So, yes, he'll pull in a top 15 class. 

  2. What was your high school mascot?  I will start

      The Vikings. Logo was identical to the Minnesota Vikings except we were green and gold and had uniforms modelled after the Packers, at least until the 90s when they looked more like Baylor. I'm told they now wear black most of the time and have a helmet logo that rips off the Buccaneers. Seems originality has never been our strong suit, but then, neither has football (we once lost 42 games in a row).

       

      Always thought that the Viking logo was funny considering it was southern Wisconsin and most people were Packer fans and loathed Minnesota.

      Hahaha!

       

      I think that picking a mascot and the colors is really hard.  For the most part, those things are "forever".

  3. In honor of Stuart Scott Day...who is or was your favorite ESPN (or any station) sports dude?

     

    I think I have to go with Jim Rome, dude is still doing the same bit with the same 10 callers from 20 years ago but he still cracks me up!  Anyone remember the Fabulous Sports Babe?  Yikes!

  5. ESPN Headline:  Bama's offense rolls vs Auburn.

      It did!

       

      Auburn's just rolled more

    2. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Well let’s be realistic. Worst case, Bama is the 3rd best team in the country and should have a spot in the 4 team playoff with LSU, Auburn and some other unworthy team. Of course the committee could get it right by choosing Georgia as the 4th seed.

       

      ESPN, probably.

  6. ESPN trying to figure out how Bama can still make the playoffs.  Can't wait to hear them spinning it later tonight.  

  7. One word movie titles that you enjoy.  (ONLY ONE WORD!) . I will start.  Cocoon

  8. Who was the badger basketball fan that kept trying to say how sweet the Badgers were going to be this season.  Coach Bo is gone...

      They ended up 23-10 last year. They still have that annoying little s#!t point guard. Are they not doing well this year?

      Have already dropped 2 games (I think) and not looking so hot.

  9. Any of your work at TD?  When will that deal start to impact you?

      Comments were made today that the headquarters will be located in Westlake, Texas.  Whether anyone's job is in jeopardy really depends if that person's job could be redundant with someone else in Westlake or any other of Schwab's offices.

  10. Pick a SciFi movie that a TV/Netflix series could be created around.  I will start...Predator

      Mad Max would work really well.  I could see that being a Netflix show.

  11. I know a lot of you like to pretend that Iowa is not a rivalry game...but guess what...this win today just made it one.  If the Skers win Friday...and then win a bowl game...that is a great way to end this season.

      "Iowa is not a rival" is the new "Millhouse is not a meme."

      I'm probably the biggest proponent of the "Not a rivalry" side, but even I'm coming around. 

       

      It just took time, and games with something on the line. Rivalries should be organic, not forced like this was early, or Colorado in the 80s.

      Lincoln will be rocking on Friday.  Especially if the weather is decent.

  12. How lame would it be to be at Bama or Auburn today and hosting Samford or WCU.

      Gotta make sure they don’t lose before the big game

      Ha!  I did not...I emailed her like...3-4 months later...and she "wished me luck on the next school year" hahaha

       

      Honestly, I hardly remember her from the interview.  But...I still probably would have "made her day" . wink

      I’ve never really had to go through any official interview process to get a job. I’ve conducted quite a few interviews though. My favorite one was back in about 1995. I was interviewing a guy for a CAD drafting position. I had some Husker stuff in my office (here in Colorado). Well he was a Buffs and Rams fan and he was kind of flipping me sh#t, in a good natured way, for being a Nebraska fan. I really wanted a CU fan around to abuse when we played each other so I hired him. Worked out pretty well, he worked for me for about 9 years, at two different companies, and I always had that CU fan around to laugh at......except 2001 wasn’t great.

  14. If you are a CBB coach, what are you wearing on the sidelines?  

     

    I gotta go with either the Huggy Bear pullover or a 1/4 zip.

      Bowling, Rifle and beach volleyball.  Baseball should be great soon.  I hear our offense will be so good we don't have to spend time on defense.

      Mashed red potato with garlic and cream cheese mixed in, boiled in a mixture of milk and water with butter. 

  19. I get the crying but I think for basketball we all expected this, maybe not that loss but a huge struggle.  

  20. If this season the farthest off from your prediction ever?  I feel like there was a Solich season where my prediction radar was super far off too, I just can't remember which one.

      There were quite a few people here saying we would go 6-6 this year. But then we all kinda bought into the preseason hype...

    4. Toe

      It's pretty far off, at least. I'll say this, though: the defense actually looks basically the way I thought they would. A modest improvement over last year, but still way too inconsistent. A lot of people are acting like the the defense has regressed, but it really hasn't, it's improved a bit overall. I think people are forgetting just how awful the defense was a couple years ago.

       

      The real story is how far the offense has regressed. They were expected to carry the team, but they went from being way ahead of the defense to being a bit worse than the D.

  21. Big public "I am sorry" to @PaulCrewe, this entire time I thought he was saying that Vedral should be the starter and I fought him on it, but it turns out he was not saying that at all and I just didn't understand.  Sorry!  My bad!  I am not wrong often (that is not accurate) but when I am I do like to admit it.

    1. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      IDK about starter but he definitely should've seen the field today. The QB problems today can't all be blamed on the OL.

    2. PaulCrewe

      PaulCrewe

      Unnecessary status update, it’s all good.

       

      And JJ, Noah was supposedly only available in an emergency situation due to his health

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Yeah, I know that now. It sure didn't help during the game though. Arguably, you could make a good case that 2AM's play was an emergency situation.....unless losing is no longer an emergency for this team.

  22. Not sure if or when you might have been at UNL...but good lord to think they would lose at home to a lame a$$ IU team...and then on the road to a lame a$$ Purdue team...is just crazy.  Those are teams that NU used to beat in the non-conference by 40.

    1. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Hell, we used to beat good teams by 40. The likes of IU and Purdue were 60 point wins.

  23. While in your 20's...what was your favorite food after the bars?  I have two...

    1.  Taco Bell's Mucho Grande Nachos

    2.  Two Double Cheeseburgers and fries from McDonalds.

      Hell yes, @Cdog923, the gyros from George's right on the corner. The Z sandwich. I still stop in there when I visit Lincoln (different owner now, I believe, but still delicious, even when sober). Many say Ali Baba's was better, but they are wrong.
