  1. Apparently Jordan Burroughs is/was on Joe Rogan.  I don't know how it works with Spotify.

      This will be terrific exposure for JB, wrestling, everything!

  2. The piped-in crowd noise while Miller is getting looked at is not a great look.

  3. Wake up.  The Martinez nightmare is over.

      @GSGthe facts greatly undermine your "accurate as a drunk dad in the backyard" analysis. You can double down on it or move the goalposts to something besides accuracy, but it doesn't change the numbers.

      Boys, boys.....can we agree that a few credible receiving threats and wider use of the playbook would make either QB look really good?  I just don't see where it matters much which one plays QB. Our issues are elsewhere.

      I'm also in the camp that wanted to roll with Luke and see what he could do. 

       

      But why crap on AM? He clearly gave things his all and went through a lot of crap to try to be the team's leader. Just because it didn't work out for whatever reason doesn't mean he doesn't mean he should be ridiculed. 

       

      Props to him for his efforts and hopefully whatever comes next is great for him.

  4. Bold/Not-so-bold statement: Tony Romo is better at color commentary than John Madden was.

      John Madden was a lot more down to earth. He always made me laugh.

      Romo is a great analyst for sure.  He was also a good QB too.  Somehow he always gets plenty of hate.  Maybe it was the Star on the helmet that turns people off.  Maybe because he liked to golf and was unknown on the bench for years and then got thrown into the fire as a starter.  Before that, when Romo was on the practice squad, the Tuna (Bill Parcells) used to holler at him from audibling...."Tony, just run the play" and Romo would tell Parcells  "Well if I saw this defense I would do this instead..."  He knows what he is talking about from what he see's.  His gamesmanship, talent and toughness wasn't too shabby either.  It translated into a solid NFL career and great analyst too.  FYI, Big Romo fan here.

      IMO I preferred Madden, just because of his boisterous character and personality. Romo is a bit more leveled, but he still has wonderful strengths as an analyst.

  9. i just found out the 2010 Kansas State game was on Bill Snyder's birthday.  Happy birthday, coach.

      Kansas State fans were singing happy birthday to him at the start of the game.

       

      Nebraska fans were singing happy birthday to him in the second half. :D

  10. I wonder if Warren's flaky handling of this season will put the entire conference in a hole on the recruiting side of things.  I just imagine coaches in other conferences are loving this easy ammo.  "You don't want to go to the Big Ten.  What if another flu bug comes through and you can't even play".

      I'm quite sure the type of student athletes the Big Ten (fourteen) recruits wouldn't be persuaded by shallow and demeaning accusations from coaches from lesser conferences!  :sarcasm

    2. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Yes, it will be used against us in recruiting. What isn't used that way? And it has already caused players to choose greener pastures, so yeah to that one as well.

      @JJ Husker I agree with your take. Ultimately, I don't think Frost is full of crap, but I do think there's always a measure of coach speak associated with these kinds of things... trying to keep his guys focused by telling the media a certain thing or two.

       

      It's a win-win publicly if you're Frost.

      Coach speak, coach speak everywhere.

      Mostly coach speak, but I do think Frost is proud that both are competing and practicing at a high level.  How well QB1 plays under the lights will eventually speak for itself.  Play real well, keep it rolling.  Under perform often, make a change.  It's a great situation to have.  I like them both.

  13. How do you check notifications now on mobile?  A notification popped up at the bottom of the screen but one of the extremely intrusive ads was blocking it so I couldn't tap on it.  Now there's no more notification icon at the top of the screen.

    1. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Go into your browser settings and change to "Desktop Site". The notification icon will be near top right. Don't switch back to mobile view. That's how I do it anyway. Never did like Mobile.

      Looks like there's an inaccessible menu that would normally show notifications. I just posted about it here:

      From the coverage I saw, most of the protesters were wearing masks, while being in crowds.  Of course, some weren't wearing masks.

      I think that's a decent deal. If you want an idea of the material costs, I've used this lumber yard that specializes in decks: https://thedecksuperstoreportal.epicoranywhere.com/products.aspx?direction=desc&searchText=&pg=0&sort=Relevance

      Just keep in mind that the labor does require some skill and knowledge. I've built a couple decks and it's a lot of work.

      I didn't know Burroughs was so plant-based in his choices. We've been doing a lot of that around our house on account of my girlfriend's notions of ethics. Honestly I do feel a lot healthier compared to when I pounded meat 24/7 to bulk up.

      That's impressive.  I read a book a long time about about one of the top triathletes in the world.  He was totally vegan and he noticed a positive difference in his performance when he did that with his nutrition.

      Lord help me, I tried my hand at the green smoothie he made. Mine has almond milk, spinach, flax/chia/hemp seeds & quinoa, pea protein powder and a banana.

       

      It's really not terrible.
