This guy right here. The Big Lebowski is the reason I tried them in the first place. When I was living in Lincoln I finished watching it for about the 45th time and thought, "Hmm, I should try that" I didn't have everything, and there was a pretty bad snowstorm, but I braved it to go to Walmart at two in the morning to get the ingredients. Then Walmart didn't have just Kahlua, so I had to buy a Kahlua fondue set. But I ended up loving 'em. TBL is my favorite movie too. I was even quoted in an article back for the tenth anniversary in the LJS.

I'm out. I cannot play this piece of donkey sh** game any more. What would it take for one of my damn o-linemen to block? I haven't seen a single score on this game that was not a freak occurrence. i.e. all of my defenders sucking into the opposing o-linemen and getting blocked. Seriously. 5 men blocking 11. When I'm running a cover 3. And when I'm on offense, it's like I'm not even controlling the damn team. The players don't cut when I push left or right, the quarterback doesn't throw it or pump fake when I push the button, when he does throw it, he throws it to the wrong receiver. Oh, and the most awesome of all, the passing icons don't come up so when I have a wide open receiver behind the coverage and hit circle, my quarterback spins his ass into a sack. I wish you guys well, but this game is a p.o.s. And the upcoming patch doesn't address gameplay at all, so it doesn't appear to be getting any better.

My wife would love it if I played some Family Force 5. She seems to think everything I play and/or listen to is hippie music. Are you just doing chords now or picking leads or arpeggios?

My wife found some jerseys at JCPenney's with the patch on them. Red ones #22 and black ones #4. I wouldn't mind picking up one, but she said the ones with the new patches were $20 more. I wonder how much it'd be to just pick up a patch.

I'm a big fan of White Russians. Also, I can go for Smith & Wessons or Colorado Bulldogs at just about any time. Also, adding some Hank's root beer to a White Russian really hits the spot. Yeah... pretty similar drinks, but heck, I stick with what works.

That would hold weight if it weren't for the fact that BTN is a joint effort with Fox and the B1G Championship Game will be on Fox. So favoring one over the other doesn't make sense.

That may be. But I wonder if just enrolling has something to do with it? If you recall the whole Roburt Sallie deal with why he wasn't able to play for us was because he had enrolled before, thus he went to Memphis. Granted it's not completely the same, and I'm pretty sure Bubba has time to drop classes though, and I can't imagine our admission office dropping the ball on the same sort of thing twice. Especially with someone as high profile as Bubba.

Or Endoquan is full of it. Which I think is more likely. Seriously a guy just shows up and starts bashing Bo, citing one incredibly inconsequential incident and then spouting a bunch of crap that he can't back up one bit?

Television broadcasts are to be unbiased so not to upset the allegiances of the fans watching. They are not supposed to have a "rooting interest" and several announcers have been dismissed for this reason. So it is a marketing reason, but I see your point entirely. This is why we used to mute the TV and listen to Lyle Bremser/Kent Pavelka back in the day before the 3 second delay, much more excited for awesome Husker plays. I wish radio would match the delay so I could watch the game and listen to Husker play-by-play. I can never get the DVR quite right. ??? Why would you try to match it up using the DVR? The tv is already behind the radio, all that will do is make it further behind the radio.

I work with a guy who is that way. He's actually a Husker fan, he just doesn't like the majority of fans that go off the deep end over every little thing and claim conspiracy theories all the time. Which I'll admit, I do from time to time, lol.

Thanks for the input guys! I really like some of the suggestions, especially Big Red Kool-aid and Whine show, lol.

Hopefully this is in the right forum. Starting this fall I'll be doing a new segment on NTV's Good Life offering a fan perspective/reaction on the upcoming/previous week's game. All I need from you right now is help with a name. Closer to the season I may come back on here and ask for questions or opinions that we could include. Or heck, I may come at you with some viewer questions. So what say you?

I don't know how much longer I can play this game. They really need to do something about the passing game. I just finished a game against freakin' UTEP where I finished with 112 yards of offense, because I am too chicken to throw the ball because it doesn't matter how wide open a guy is, a corner/safety/linebacker will make an inhuman break on the ball and either break it up or intercept it. And if you can't get anything going on the ground, well your s.o.l. But I somehow managed to be up 17-0, until the CPU turned into cheesed!ck city. They would call 5 WR sets, and their QB would just take off running the ball on a scramble as soon as they snapped it. Of course their o-line can get to the second level whereas the human CPU can't even hold their initial blocks. Up to that point I had 6 sacks, the QB finished the game with 14 carries and 52 yards. Oh, and he has 62 speed. Take away 6 carries for the sacks, and God knows how many yards, that means on 8 carries, he had like 90 yards. And then to top it all off, when I had a 4th and 2 with less than a minute to go, I called a play with motion and the clock was running down. I figured if I hit X at 3 seconds it'll snap it....nope you have to wait for the motion to go through. Ok, that's fine, that's on me, delay of game. Except for some reason, that delay of game results in a loss of down and it's their ball. I've never been more upset after winning a game before. It is just ridiculous.

Hopefully everyone's work schedule and stuff works out so advancing every other day is a possibility. I fear mine may be a hindrance, as I work 2:30-11 Saturday-Wednesday, so some user vs. user games may be tough to schedule.

I'll go with TCU. I know they're not from the MWC, but their main rival is SMU. That might help ease the slate as they're a bit easier than Boise State, but they're still legitimate enough that it doesn't seem like a complete pushover. Unless you all want Boise State, that'd be fine too.

Take this with a huge clump of salt, but Bubba was in Kearney, and I'm assuming still is, for Cruise Nite/parties that go with. A guy that I work with said that Bubba told his friend that he's leaning towards Nebraska because he thinks he has a real shot at playing time. I know, it's not Bo's salt water aquarium guy, but it's what I heard so I thought I'd pass it along.

If anyone wants named rosters on ps3, I have some uploaded in my ea locker. It's just named players, not much editing. I downloaded someone else's named rosters, then edited Nebraska, and made sure Terrelle Pryor and Russell Wilson were taken care of. I don't have either Bubba Starling or Charles Jackson on the roster as I'd be surprised if either is donning Husker red this fall, and I thought Jake Cotton and Ameer Abdullah would be nice to have on there.

If there's a PS3 OD, I'll join as TCU or Oregon State. PSN id: broganreynik

Im guessing it was SMU, but he was probably stretching the true alittle bit. Beebe was one of the NCAA investigators that took SMU down and rightfully so. The article says it was a different case.

I had basically decided on getting DirecTV in August, but then I got a flyer from Dish saying they have an app where you can watch tv on your smartphone. That's really enticing, as I'll be working almost every gameday, and unless the game is on ABC, I have no assurance that I'll be able to see it (work at an ABC affiliate). What I'm wondering though, is if I get Dish, would I even be able to watch BTN on the phone, or does DirecTV have a similar app on the horizon? That's literally the only thing swaying my vote towards Dish. Well that and the slightly lower prices, but everything else is largely in DirecTV's favor.

I would say when that Twitter account is owned by a Husker, yes it is more reliable.

I didn't call anyone stupid, or attack anyone's intelligence. Calm down. Again, the logo that you're talking about is a marketing tool. It represents the Blackshirts on merchandise, not on the field. On the field, the ONLY thing that represents the Blackshirts are the actual factual black jerseys in the pic I posted. But to show you that your premise is incorrect, you're saying that these are Huskers because they wear the N on the field: And that anyone wearing the N on the field is a Husker. To directly quote you, "...when you wear it on the field, you're a Husker. It's about ON THE FIELD." By that logic, these are also Huskers: These girls are "on the field," and they are wearing the N. But of course they're not Huskers, they're cheerleaders. Nobody thinks that because they are wearing an N tattoo (which the University sells licensing rights to, by the way), that they suddenly become Huskers. There is a huge difference between what the actual tradition is and what the University markets to make money. On a side-note, I went to high school with the one on the left. She also climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro with Joel Makovicka.

I would offer you the same advice. Don't just argue your point, but actually read what I'm saying. The players you're talking about will not think they are Blackshirts because of these gloves. They know what a Blackshirt is, and they know whether they've earned one or not. As I've said several times, the logo on these gloves is a marketing tool, not an actual Blackshirt. Putting this logo on these gloves doesn't cheapen the tradition of the Blackshirts any more than putting it on a kite does. No they don't think that, but people who are not familiar with the tradition will. Younger fans, unfamiliar fans, other people in the Big Ten. We've all heard how ridiculous some announcers are when they talk about "traditions", next thing you know Ed Cunningham or some douche is referring to all Husker defenders as Blackshirts. People bitch about having any black in the uniforms, having a b*******, adding piping or changing the uniforms in anyway, changing any traditions whatsoever, but you're a-ok with this? Honestly, while I think the N gloves are cool, I'd prefer to keep the gray gloves we've worn the last few years. I think this is gimmicky, and overall I'm not a fan of either glove as part of the uniform. But if you were to buy me a pair of those N gloves for Christmas, it's entirely possible I would wear them. I prefer the plainer gloves too. I might end up buying the N gloves for batting gloves though, haha. Or just to have for the Husker room.
