  1. Old skool HP'er, sometimes HM'er. Came here after the original split. I thought this site was excellent for football talk, and will probably split time between here and HM. Plus, cool to see some of the HP folks here as well.
  2. I see nothing wrong with or childish about getting to know something about your fellow members. Don't take it personal Knap. It's a joke....I always forget the emoticon and it never ceases to amaze me how someone will always say something. I got the reference...lol A/S/L?
  3. Whoops...shoulda' posted my last one after yours...haha
  4. Can you still stomp on 'em for massive ketchup explosions on the playground?
  5. I just use a bucket next to my futon. Picture unrelated. A Gatorade bottle is much more portable and won't raise suspicion when it's found stashed under the coffee table.
  6. I remember spending lots of time in the Old Market area of Omaha while attending UNL, and people really went out of their way to let you know if they were not Husker fans. Kind of like they were trying sooooo hard to portray themselves as cultures and sophisticated that they were too good to be Husker fans...lol. As soon as they heard I was from Los Angeles, they would start to rag on the folks west of Omaha. Was kind of odd.
  7. And bad words, too! ughhh...had to scrub my eyes for weeks.
  8. Have to disagree here. Both sets of grandparents, both parents, all my aunts and uncles, and a majority of my family all were born and raised in Nebraska. I'm a California guy myself, but spent every summer working on grandpa's farm, and many a snowy Christmas in the panhandle. I love and respect the culture and tradition of Nebraska and my family, and it's an integral part of who I am, and how I live my life and raise my family. I chose UNL because of this strong affinity for the state, the school and their shared values. BUT, I was also raise in the shadows of the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California and loved the underdog mentality of the Bruins...and the free tickets given out to us at the Boys Club...lol. I grew up listening to arrogant USC fans, and gravitated to the Bruins as another team I supported, even at a young age. It was also easy to do this because of the Pac 10/Big 10 Rose Bowl affiliation as you never had to choose sides in a meaningful game. We had series against the Bruins in the 80s and 90s, and my loyalties were strongly in the Big Red camp. But, I still loved the rest of the 90's watching the Bruins take care of the Trojans year after year. Besides picking up a local favorite, some folks go to grad school at another institution and support their "other" team as well. I have a friend who's a huge Michigan fan and alum, but also went to grad school at Wisconsin. He pulls for the Badgers in every game except when playing the Wolverines.
  9. Speak for yourself, Mr. Nebraska-centric. I've spent time on a LOT of message boards. Lawrence Phillips is still associated with Nebraska by fans old enough to remember his name 14 years after he played for us. Two years after Pedey's departure, nobody even knows who he is. It's not even close out there in the real world. The fact that these people have to throw out LP's as their come back or argument against Nebraska is rather good for us actually. If that's the only ammunition they have then their game is real weak. T_O_B I think LP is thrown out like people throw out OJ for USC. It's a last ditch effort, but really....how much does OJ hurt the perception of USC? Not much. And, most people know LP much more for his crash and burn stuff after Nebraska.
  10. I chose Cally, based on the "perception" problems for most of the country. Most have NO idea who Pedey, and LP was a failed NFL player when the worst of his actions occurred. Thunder, no one knows or cares about outside of Nebraska and Nebraska fans. But, football folks know Callahan, and they know of him as the ex-Raiders coach who ruined Nebraska. Even with several successful Pelini years, the Callahan years will long be known as our dark days. Like our very own Fairbanks...lol. Pedey? Non-Huskers have no idea who he is...but, argument could easily be made that it's all his fault.
  11. In the Deed the Glory

  12. I much prefer ADIDAS, the quality is just much better IMO, but so glad for Suh and his first payday. Great for him, and I agree the exposure for the program may help some.
  13. Just hope he is honest in evaluating the kid...for better or worse. Last thing we need is a "Hawkins" incident. That being said, Bo seems like way too much of a straight shooter to have to worry about that.
  14. That's awesome...no pretentious tips of the hat to "the league". He's a college guy for sure!!!
  15. Neuheisel closes like a true car salesman.......a very good one. Not happy that we lost out on some of our recruits, but would much rather see the Bruins catch these guys than the Trojans. I think Chow and the staff must really believe they are on the verge of something...I'm hoping they go on another 7-8 year run over the Trojans in the Pac 10. Besides, when USC is down, it's much easier for outside schools to come in and recruit these kids not enamored with USC.
  16. I'm sure most of us saw it the same way. What a joke.
  17. It is a bit of a hard pill to swallow when the schools that run the option have so much success with it, and even Osborne himself has explained why it worked and why it would still work. And I'm fine with us running a spread...as in the spread option. I care much less about the formation we line up in than I do about what we do once the ball is snapped. Option football gives you additional weapons on O, and forces the D to worry about more.
