      @GSG I have to have some sort of distraction to keep my mind from working; I usually move to the couch and put something from Netflix or YouTube on. Consequently, I tried putting on an old Husker game once ('97 Washington) and ended up staying up all night and watching it.

      Next time try reading a Huskerlaw post. You'll be asleep before the 49th paragraph in no time.

  2. Jason Kirk leaving Vox now, too. The SBNation guys could start their own website and probably be the best CFB news site out there.

      Yeah, it's sad to see. SBNation was a daily visit from me for a long time. But once Bill Connelly left, it went downhill. Their "relaunch" as the Banner Society was a huge dud for me, because it was basically a website version of Shutdown Fullcast, which is just awful.

      I never knew there was a link between Vox and SBNation.

      Haha @Saunders the Shutdown Fullcast is definitely an acquired taste.  It's like pro wrestling mixed with....madness and college football.  PAPN with Bill C and Godfrey was the best CFB podcast by miles (although Bear and Stanford Steve are pretty good if you're into gambling) and I'm frankly a little pissed that Connelly doesn't have a dedicated podcast.  The new PAPN is still pretty good but once you've had the best, anything else is a downgrade. 

       

      Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked to see The Ringer snatch up the SBNation team.  The Ringer is pretty light when it comes to CFB and they seem to be willing to let people run loose a little bit.  The Ringer just signed the Cespedes Family BBQ guys (who are hilarious) so they're willing to acquire talent for sure.  

  3. Both Omaha and Lincoln are on a curfew for 72 hours, starting tonight at 8.

      Ok thank God I have time to get TP.

      The state of emergency will last 72 hours. The curfew will be in effect from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. No one is allowed in public places with exceptions of those using transit, people going to businesses and recreational activities.

      Another curfew in Lincoln tonight. Stay home, kids!

  4. The Old Market in Omaha is nuts tonight. 

  5. Random question: are football tickets subject to sales tax?

      I've never seen a sales tax line on my ticket invoices from the University.  Unless they are rolling it into the price on their side (i.e., tickets sell for $60 but they already included the tax in that amount).

  6. As a board, can we cobble together 4.5 million and buy this house? We can throw tailgates there for Maryland games:

      JJ Husker

      Seems like a no-brainer to me. Only $43k per year in taxes. I’d definitely want them to throw in the baby grand piano and see if a couple more fireplaces could be added though. I think Huskerboard deserves more than a lousy 10 fireplaces.

  7. Please, for the love of Herbie: stop adding kickers to the roster. 

    1. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      There is the old coaching adage, "if you have 37 kickers on your roster, do you really have one?"

      @methodical Those numbers are pretty high imo. Theres pretty good numbers showing 75-80% of people that get this wont show symptoms or only very mild, and they wont get tested. The amount of confirmed cases are what they are, but there are and will be ALOT of people that will have gotten it and will get it that wont be tested and wont count to that number. The amount of confirmed cases is WAY low vs actual cases. Many people saying they know people who have had it, they were around them, they themselves got mild symptoms but b/c they werent severe enough they couldnt get tested. The numbers are not true numbers really.

      So potentially Nebraska’s next game will be In Ireland. Did not see that coming as I froze my feet off at the Iowa game.

      Does 10,000 people a day in the local Walmart not count as a gathering of 50 or more somehow?

  11. Hoiberg looked miserable on the sidelines and was taken to a hospital from the arena. 

    1. NUance

      Yeah, that game made me feel the same way.  

  12. How's about we just forfeit the rest of both baseball and basketball season and let them practice for next year?

      @Cdog923 The pen is concerning. Schanaman in particular has gotten lit to start the season. SSS though so one can hope it's just bad luck.

      @Danny Bateman I'm kind of wondering if we need to find a Saturday starter and move Gomes back to the pen. 

    4. Xmas32

      Xmas32

      I wouldn't be entirely shocked to see Gomes end up back as a reliever when it's all said and done as he's got Brett Jensen level stuff and having a dude like that on the back end is a great weapon.  Everyone is on the absolute struggle bus when it comes to throwing strikes though which means you need to keep Gomes in the rotation.  Friday/Saturday was just bananas in terms of walks.  Gonna need guys like Blessie to step up.

  13. GUYS, THE CHIEFS WON AND I'M GOING STREAKING. 

  14. HOLY s#!t, THE CHIEFS MADE THE SUPER BOWL!

      Commando made me smile.  I agree.  I've been a Chiefs fan most of my life, I was around 12, there was "glory" when I first became a fan [a championship].  I've called them the Chefs for the last 15 years ... even though they are my team.  Here's hoping for a breakthrough ... just like I hope my Cornhuskers.

      Meh....that ref went down easier than glass jaw Joe.:lol:

       

      Was a fun game to watch.

      Glass, Jaw Joe. Is that a relative of the Eastern Michigan QB Mike Glass?

      I don't think any of the Welters beat him and he could easily win a Middleweight title at this point.

      That might have been the closest fight he’s ever had and it really wasn’t even that close by the end.  

  20. Done shopping at Nebraska Furniture Mart. They ****ed me over good today.

      Wife spent months researching dishwashers; we bought one over Black Friday and paid to have it installed. Installers come, can't get it to fit in the hole, do the bare minimum to get it to fit, then leave without saying a word. They won't come back, or send a new unit that could fit, and proceed to give us the run around that it is our fault the unit won't fit (the hole is the standard measure, and the unit we bought is exactly the same size as our old one) and they won't come back and put our old unit back in while we figure out what to do. They misled and lied to us at virtually every step of the 5+ hours we tried getting this to work. Not shopping there again.

      I have a hard time fitting in the hole too...

      @teachercd That's not what @Redux said.:D

  21. I look forward to reading in the Football board how those first two drops were Martinez's fault. 

    1. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      There’s definitely a few drops that were not 2AM’s fault but there are plenty of things to talk about that were his fault. 31-0 with 3 min to go in the first half looks great on the surface but I’d say it should be 45-0 without some of Adrian’s mistakes. Maryland is absolutely hapless.

    2. Cdog923

      Cdog923

      @JJ Husker You aren't wrong, but not everything is automatically AMart's fault, much to the chagrin of people in the game thread. 

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      @Cdog923 it’s far from all his fault. We have plenty of issues. But he is nowhere near the same player we saw last year. IDK what it is but I hope they get it figured out cuz it’s obvious Frost won’t make adjustments when his starting QB makes repeated mistakes. I hate to complain when  we’re destroying a team like this but some of his passes and decisions and not seeing open receivers....I don’t get it other than we all know he has the most potential. I just wish it would start showing more in games. It’s making me question Frost and Mario.

  22. Don't look now, but WBB is 5-0.

      So ... Pender.  Is it best to take the 51 west then head up the 9 into Pender?  Or go up the 77 to Walthill then across to Pender?

  24. A friendly reminder: don't follow kids on Twitter, regardless of if they want to come play for your football team.

      there is a difference between following recruits on twitter, and bashing them with hate b/c they made a life decision that you don't like. 

       

  25. I was joking when I said you should bet Minny this week, but if Frost says that they have the best practice this week, I'm putting all of my savings on Bye to cover this week.
