Went to Hollywood Florida a few years ago in Feb and drove down to Key Largo. I was a bit underwhelmed with Key Largo but if you fly directly into KeyWest it probably would be worth it. I really liked Hollywood Beach. We got an Air BnB near there boardwalk and we had a blast. Amazing food. Amazing beaches. 

Players are best to just move on. Its not fair, but with Twitter you are fighting usually a nameless/faceless army who receives zero punishment for what they say but when you are a face/name, you win nothing going after them. It is not fair for those guys regardless of how they played, but again, what do you get by going back at a person? Everyone is frustrated. 

I wonder if they werent planning to announce the new facility till later, but moved it up because of Gameday. Seems weird they dont have interior plans at least somewhat thought of and only exterior.

Does doing it this way create more page views/ clicks to sell ads?

That would be my one thought. 

@ColoradoHusk Up here in MN, they have 1 show that talks a lot of sports. The morning show does some sports but they are across the board it has made them VERY successful. I found myself getting fairly bored at times with 1620 because the same 4 stories are talked about by all the shows. I get Husker football has to be the driving factor but I think a good mix of shows helps break it up. Have one show that is heavy sports/heavy guests. One show that is more goofy(think Schick and Nick) and one that maybe goes more serious topics(cant get too political). KFAN up here in MN does that and they have some of the most successful shows in every timeslot.

1620 was at its beak when it had schick/nick and Kugler/Severe. They were very different shows in some aspects but were able to capture their audience. 

@B.B. Hemingway I will say John Bishop is one of the nicest guys you will meet. 

I worked at 1620 a few moons back, about the time Kugler left. I will say this: Damon Benning was one of the nicest people to me there. I produced the very first year of Big Red Overreaction and he was always very nice. One of the main reasons I tried for the job was because Josh Peterson pushed me into it(Which i really appreciate that he did that). The only person at the station who I would say wasnt my favorite was Mike'l. He big-timmed me and when the microphone turned off, he seemed to be a bit more of an introvert. I had very little dealings with him, so I could have misread it. 

That all being said, I dont like the Mike'l/Damon match up... They are too much alike in the sense they are your analyst not your host. Sharp was a good mix with Damon.

Josh is a nice kid, but I honestly was fairly surprised when he got a co-host gig. I know him fairly well and he worked his butt off to go from intern to producer and was there when they were in a bind, but I just dont know if he has the personality for a show of that level. 

I have listened so few times, i truly dont know but to go from Kugler/Severe to Bishop/Peterson is a fairly big shift in talent/unique takes.

I never listened to Severe's show on OWH, how was he solo? I always thought he was better as an analyst type for a show. Kugler would run the show and he could add insight but didnt have to control direction/pace.

I am not a huge fan of Host and producer, because you only get 1 voice and producer usually gets shut down if they get too talky. 

I have heard mainly good things. The nice thing is you arent locked in. We are on Hulu right now but have looked into Playstation Vue, Sling and YouTube but the sports packages is best for what we have with Hulu right now. If you dont like it, you can switch.

@ZRod The problem with some bands who get in a TV show or commercial tend to be sort of garbage songs that become annoying quickly... That being said, whoever at EAsports picks out the music, does a great job. They have had some unknown SHREDDERS that sneak up on you.

Tool sucks now that they sold out to the man....... #sarcasm

@killer cacti Probably a good call. Also, none of us are good looking... especially me. At least you have a nice beard... 

No Jean jacket, are we sure thats even landlord? Sadly I know Cacti's ugly mug(said lovingly) from anywhere. 

@killer cacti and @GSG - Good point... We dont want a team from a lower level conference

Day 2,473- Went to the mailbox and still no invite from Adam/Killer Cacti to come visit. 

Gif. It aint no Peanut Butter brand.

Ernie and it isnt even close. 

I like it. I dont read nearly as much as I would like, but I think they have some fairly strong pieces. I joined because of the MN Wild beat writer joining them(Russo) but have enjoyed some of the other coverage. If you are only doing it for Nebraska coverage, probably not worth it but for the whole national coverage it is.

@JJ Husker I am very much looking forward to spending most of my memorial weekend not remembering it.

Portland. So lots of food and lots of beer.
