  1. So, any GoT people out there. Who should I bet on to sit on the Iron Throne at the end of season 8. It's up on my book.

      @knapplc The beginning books/seasons had "false" main characters in Ned and Robb. With Jon and Dany, the "true" main characters he's been pretty true to regular story conventions. While the story will have a bittersweet ending (George's words), I don't think it's going to be because Jon and Dany die. It will be because of humanities sacrifice and other characters death (thinking Jaime is going to die).

      Jon, Daenarys, or no one as the throne will be destroyed.

  3. Secured my spring game tickets. Wish I would have gotten "in line" earlier. Didn't know it was like that.

      Totally forgot until 10:30, still got some though. No issues, very different experience from last year.

  4. Did Romo spill the beans on something?  Have seen numerous things about Romo scripting the plays before they happened.  

    1. whateveritis1224

      whateveritis1224

      He was just calling plays seconds before they were happening. Specially those plays where Brady changed them at the line.

  6. Unless I saw wrong, LSU/A&M should already be over. A&M QB attempted to spike the ball under 2 seconds at the end of the game.

  7. I was just listening to the Husker Game Show on the radio while I was driving.  We often make fun of anyone who says that refs have been over zealous on calls against us and underwhelming on calls against other teams that we play.  They had one of their stat guys do some research.  He found it has been 22 games since a Nebraska opponent was called for holding on a pass play that was accepted by us.  The last one was Illinois in 2016.  I'm curious if any other schools have even a 10 game stretch.

      Rutgers got called for a late hit on thorson that looked exactly like the hit on Martinez last week when he slid. Not saying we don’t deserve some/most of the calls we have, but more and more it feels like refs are calling things differently with us vs our opponents.

  8. Watched The Last Jedi again.  It’s still a turd.

     

    Luke’s death - still lame

    Leia flying - still stupid

    Finn/Rose - still bad

    Snoke’s ending - still unfulfilling 

    Ren’s high waisted pants - still awkward 

    Poe - still underutilized 

    Holdo - still unnecessary 

     

    The throne room fight was still pretty cool.

  9. If the force is for everyone, why can only white humans use it?

    1. whateveritis1224

      whateveritis1224

      Pointing out that the main message in TLJ was the force is for everyone but the only shown force users in the Sequel Trilogy are white humans and Snoke.  I acknowledge the diversity of force users in the Prequel Trilogy and physically using a lightsaber does not mean you can use the force (Finn in TFA, though I'd love for him to be one).

  10. Severe says big recruiting news coming soon? Has he ever broke anything before? Must be an Omaha kid????

  11. Going through old newspapers I’ve kept relating to the Huskers. Ran across the OWH edition of Bo’s firing and laughed at these headlines:

    Shatel: Eichorst Sounds Like a Man With a Plan

    Shatel: Don’t Expect AD Eichorst to Flounder as Pederson Did in 03 (No he just set out to destroy our program!)

    Chaitlain: Eichorst Proves He Understands NU Tradition, Standards (HUH?!)

      I’ll bet both of these reporters cringe at these articles!

    1. whateveritis1224

      whateveritis1224

      For those headlines.  Eichorst was a man with a plan (the plan ended up not working, but it was a plan).  Eichorst did not flounder like Pederson did in '03, he found a guy and hired him.  Again the hiring ended up back firing on him, but he did have a plan.

       

      The Chatelain headline is one that does not work, but was there anything at that point that indicated that firing Bo was a bad move.  IIRC most fans were at the point ready for Bo to move on. 

       

      Hindsight is always 20/20 and I don't see a problem with 2 of the 3 headlines (with the Chatelain one coming off the fact that most of Eichorst's firing press conference was spent discussing the fact that while 9 wins was ok, we should be striving for more).

      Gerry played on at least the only punt in the game.  Probably played on kickoffs too.

  13. Hate to admit it but that was one of the more entertaining Super Bowl games....except for the parts where Collinsworth was whining and wrong.

    1. whateveritis1224

      whateveritis1224

      The Bryant no catch is more like the James no catch for Pittsburgh this year.  He catches the ball, yes, but he's going to the ground and reaches out to try to score a touchdown which causes the ball to touch the ground and pop up.  Again not a good rule, but correct as written.

    1. whateveritis1224

      whateveritis1224

      The difference between the Ertz catch and James catch is that James was falling down when he reached for the touchdown and lost control of the ball.  Ertz was clearly changing direction and clearly made the motion to dive before the ball hit the ground.  The James no catch is BS, but was correct as the rule is written.  The rule should be changed.  Have no clue what Michaels or Collinsworth were looking at that did not confirm that Ertz was a runner .

    1. whateveritis1224

      whateveritis1224

      What was the call that awarded them the first down on the 4th and 10?  Looked like it should have been a simple encroachment.  Did they end up calling it mimicing the snap count or something about trying the draw the offense offsides?

  16. Harrison Phillips is now the nations leader in tackles with 100. Nebraska coaches just keep on giving.  Noah Fant, Nate Bazata, Harrison P.  Easton Stick.  

    1. whateveritis1224

      whateveritis1224

      @BoSolich Phillips was on Bo, Stick was on Bo, Fant was a mixture, Bazata was on Bo  Did Riley miss on in state guys, sure and I'm fearful of what Williams will do to us in the future, but it's been 3 straight coaches that have had issues with identifying Nebraska talent.

  21. FYI UCF is playing on ESPN 2 right now.  Watched a couple of their games this year and it seems like they run plays that people get mad at Riley for doing, but hey double standards.  This does not mean I don't want Frost as coach next year, just that they do a lot of throws on 3rd and short which is something Riley and Langsdorf gets roasted for.

    1. whateveritis1224

      whateveritis1224

      Barring people leaving, off the top of my head the only two people graduating are Hoppes and Demornay.  If Lee decides to stay I think the offense can improve.

      In looking at this offense, the only thing that it appears the team does not have is a running QB.  If Frost does come next year do I think it will be a completely smooth transition, no.  But I think we have the playmakers to at least make it run.

      Don't think anyone has said that Fant sucks and you won't find anyone not critical of the Coaching staff for screwing up his recruitment.
