  1. So much for that UNO bandwagon...

      Ha!  I know!  I woke up last night and looked at the score and right away I was like "Well, that is lame" and I was totally over it.  It would have been fun if they made it and it would have been crazy if they pulled an upset.  Now, like most of us...I will forget about them until the next time they are in the conference final.

  2. So, Weezer dropped an album full of covers, and I don't hate it? Start here:

      Sturgill's best cover is Long White Line.

      Listened to most of them today. Pretty karaoke. But for some reason I like the Africa cover....because it is very identical to the original. Not sure what they were trying to accomplish here.

  3. So...are there no hotels in Arkansas that the Miami football team could stay in for a few days?

      With a category 5 hurricane bearing down on Florida, I think it's reasonable to cancel the game so all the University of Miami students and employees (including the football team) to prepare to evacuate or get their stuff in order.  Yes, it's unfortunate the game is cancelled, but life is bigger than football.

      I guess I'm just surprised there hasn't been more cancelations/postponements announced yet. I think FIU is moving their game to Alcorn St. and playing it on Friday, so the team can get back before the storm hits.

      Not really a storm. More of a Cat 5 hurricane...

  4. So...are we losing everything? Status updates? Rep points?

      You lose everything, but consider what you’re gaining.

  5. Someone else go vote in the "1999 vs. 1996" thread, so I don't have to come up with a way to break the tie. 

  6. Speaking of irritating: looks like Husker Headquarters is ripping BBB Printing off:

      @Judoka is right. BBB Printing's shirt is an homage to that California Republic logo.  But Husker HQ is ripping off BBB Printing's shirt, not offering an homage to it.

      @HuskerInLostWages that reminds me of Cam's sister in Modern Family.  Her name is Pameron.

    3. HuskerInLostWages

      HuskerInLostWages

      @ColoradoHuskThat is a hideous name, but to each their own.  I also discovered that Tathen has a sister than looks just like him but with injected lips(heavily injected lips).

    4. HuskerInLostWages

      HuskerInLostWages

      Oh and Justin Fields also followed her on twitter and has liked everything of hers for the last year.  He's taking Tathans job and going after his sister, the kid is savage.

  8. The hypocrisy at work with how some people are viewing the basketball "search" this year vs. the football search two years ago is staggering.

      I think Riley and his team had already quit by the Minnesota game.  Hard to really feel too much for a group that has packed it in.  Miles crew is playing good basketball right now (for what they have personnel wise) and they are playing basketball the right way.  Much easier to feel for him as he is on his way out.  With that being said I see nothing wrong with how Moos has gotten Hoiberg if that actually happens. Cant let personal feelings get in the way of doing what is best for the university.

      Our local media loves to promote drama and divide the fan base. It gets them more clicks.

      @Enhance Mike Schaefer peddling the Moos story on Sharp & Benning was where I first heard it, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if your bird theories have a ton of merit. 

  9. The Old Market in Omaha is nuts tonight.

      Buncha whiners. It's the friggen world cup. Point differential matters and if you don't like it, actually stop the other team from scoring. I only hope we hang 14 on Canada.

       

      Okay now I can go back to not giving a rip about soccer.

  11. The World Cup has convinced me that Alternate Uniforms are garbage.

      Like, WTF are the Germans wearing Green? 

    2. GSG

      GSG

      Apparently they wore green in the 1990 World Cup semi final win over England, so they're throwbacks this year. Still not sure why they were green in 1990 though

      I love the look of our alternate. Wait...

      Because scheduling it in peak flu season is going to go well and happen. Not even considering it a possibility.

      What if we strike a scheduling deal with the ACC that sends Miami up to Memorial Stadium in January? :dunno

      @JJ Husker "The conference's only way to save face is for it to go horribly wrong for the SEC and ACC." Well, those schools have already started switching to online-only classes, so...

  13. This offense makes me miss Mike Riley. 

  14. This team is awful. They will be good some day, but they are flat-out awful.

      This score could end up 100-0.  Harbaugh won't call off the dogs.

      @Comfortably Numb That encompasses my point: at what point is it ok to have that expectation for basketball? Why can't we say "You have to go win a tournament game", especially with the talent returning to the team? If you continue to have low expectations for the program, you'll never be disappointed with a 5 seed in the NIT. 

    3. NUance

      But sometimes it pays to be patient.  When you fire your coach you can count on losing most of a year in recruiting.  That puts the program in a huge hole for the next guy.  When you fire two or three coaches in a decade it's hard to get traction in recruiting, and a base to build on.  Eventually you get a rep as an unstable team.  (This might hold true more for football than basketball.)  That said, Miles has had several years now.  So you'd hope his team would start showing results.  /jmho

    4. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      @Cdog923 I think we can have that expectation. I guess I'm agreeing with both of you to some extent. I think that should be the expectation this coming season but I also think, in reality, if Miles just makes the tournament that he probably won't be let go. And yes you are right, if we don't ratchet up the expectations for the program when it is warranted like it appears to be now, then we can expect to receive the same subpar results this program has always delivered.

  16. Ts & Ps to anyone who cheered for Wisconsin tonight.

      I saw it yesterday and we were up by 20 and then Martinez got hurt and we kicked a field goal.  Never saw what the final outcome was.

      Washington scores a late 24-yd TD. NU 54 Miami 24. We had 14 sacks :blink:

  19. Volleyball State. Also, suck it, Creighton.

      We're still the big dogs in this state, but Creighton just keeps getting better and better.  They're going to be trouble for the foreseeable future.

       

      I'm going to try to go to my first Creighton match this year. Should be fun.

      This was the perfect year for them to beat us, but we still have Foecke, and they don't.

      Between McCaffrey being available up to 4 games, and Vedral being able to work with the team for the full season, I would bet Bunch is never seen again except for some spring game snaps.

      Jealousy is a terrible, terrible thing Moiraine. 

       

      Having women in this role is actually pretty common in football now.   A majority of the ACC and SEC have women as their on-campus recruiting director or in the recruiting department.

      Weird. The only thing I got was about a week ago an email that said I should remember that Spring Game tickets go on sale for season ticket holders on 02/06 at 10am.  I couldn't reserve Spring Game tickets at that time, I could only buy them when they went on sale on 02/06.

      Borchardt is averaging 18 minutes a game (skewed upward since the injury to Copeland, no doubt), Harris 11 minutes, Thor 9 minutes and Trueblood 5. The 5 starters? All over 30 minutes a game. It's being proven that there wasn't any reason why Borchardt couldn't have averaged 18 minutes all year spelling both Roby and Copeland, or why Thor and Trueblood couldn't have gotten 10-12 minutes a game to give Watson, Allen and Palmer some breathers. Harris is the one exception because he was sick, but still; if you take 2 minutes away from each of the five starters, who knows how deep the bench could have gotten (or how prepared for Copeland's injury they might have been).

      So this all just really speaks to how it wouldn't have mattered anyway and Miles just isn't that great of a coach?

       

      I mean I respect the heck out of the guy for giving it his all but he's consistently been outcached a lot in his tenure here despite getting some really talented players to Lincoln.

       

      He just doesn't have that it factor that could potentially make Nebraska a perennial conference contender instead of a fun, scrappy underachiever.

      Update: Trueblood is now +48 over the last 3 games.
