Depends who you ask! most of the toxins left are posters on this board who can't let go of things. So you are firmly in the camp of "no excuses" right? Riley needs to win or well... Also...are you saying that fans can now impact the wins/losses? there is more to it than just winning IMO...and i am happy with Riley so far. and fans can only help the results if the players can actually get a boost from the crowd at the stadium......or they can hurt if they harass the kids to much away from campus or on twitter.etc. There is more than just winning...for about two years. But this is a business based on wins especially at NU.

I have never seen that before. Is it popular as far as you know or was it a bit of a bargain hunt?

Depends who you ask! most of the toxins left are posters on this board who can't let go of things. Exactly...there are no excuses left.

Depends who you ask!

Heard from one person at practice that the toxins were all gone...so that is good news!

I guess for about the last 5-7 years my expectations have been to have fun during the games. Hang out with friends, drink, relax, cheer, stress, freak out, yell and relax again.

eh, the wristband is only for the east stadium students and it doesn't really add any time since there's a smaller line than for south stadium. I never really had to wait that long when I sat in south my freshman year, but there are times where the south stadium students look like a log jam. Thanks! I did not know that!

Crappy teams are screening a lot on 2nd and long and 3rd and long...

Anyone know what the demand is like for student tickets now? Seems like a pain in the ass where you have to line up, get a wrist band and wait? Isn't that how they do it now?

I know a lot of people that head to Lincoln for home games. I don't know a lot of people that head into the game.

Just hit up Amigos...two soft tacos, two crisp meats, two crisp pintos and an order of Mexi-Fries. Don't forget the ranch (Best ranch ever) and hot cheese sauce (don't let it touch your skin)

There is some of that.

Can make a very nice living playing ball in Europe.

We've done this to almost all sports. Hockey, volleyball, softball, baseball, basketball even dance. And it's sad, but that is what it takes for those who want to compete at the highest levels. When I was a kid and into high school, a person could participate in multiple sports. i.e. Football, basketball or wrestling, track then baseball. I don't see very many kids doing that anymore. If they don't focus and specialize on one sport they won't make their HS varsity team or the club team they want. I'm not sure exactly what has caused this. My guess is its the culmination of parents living vicariously through their children. Both of my kids could've continued with 2 or 3 sports but they were forced through circumstance to really focus on only one and treat another as a sideline. Granted neither had/has D1 talent but it's sad that they could not participate in all the sports they would've liked to. If you don't commit to a sport year round, chances are you won't be playing that sport for very long. Yep! Once coaches realized how much money they could rip from parents...well, things changed. Now, with that said you can still be varsity in different sports but the time commitment is brutal and there are a lot of coaches (especially if you get into club/select) that don't want "their kids" playing other sports.

HS football participation is down (at least in the areas where I coach and the schools in the area.) but I don't know how much of it has to to with head injuries as much as it has to do with how freaking long football has become. It is brutally long and some coaches really have a hard time "getting" it. Example: 9th-12th graders where I coach at are expected to meet 4 days a week in the summer. 1 hour of on the field conditioning and plays...1 hour in the weight room. That is all summer with the exception of two days off for the 4th and one week off before real practice starts. Then real practice is 5 days a week with games on Friday, so a 6 day commitment. Season ends...two weeks off (sort of) and back in the weight room 4 days a week and more conditioning. It is brutal.

Some fans have, remember how 9 wins was super easy and now It is hard.

Amen! I can't remember the last time I went out for drinks and it was past 8pm. I basically hit up happy hour if I go to a bar or it is game day drinking.

Riley is going to ride or die with Lee...He is not going to put his new toy on the shelf. It would be foolish for him to not use him and his arm as much as possible.

Raffle off 10 prizes of 500 dollars. Do it at halftime so people can use some of it at the game or at the bars.

I love the show but can still only name like 6 people in it...

I used to listen to him all the time, years ago. I tuned in about a year ago and it was the same dudes calling and email in to the show. It was amazing

That would get Doug drunk! And Woos!

This was from a new study, those were the numbers they gave for binge drinking.

5 or more drinks in two hours for a man. 4 or more in two hours for a women. Does that seem low to be considered binge drinking?
