  1. I wonder if the Yankees would've overpaid for Cano and Granderson if they realized the best they were going to get was an almost-washed-up Carlos Beltran. Talk about a team with no identity.

      They got Beltran, Ellsburry, McCann... and Cano for 10 years 240 mill is a lot different than 3 years of Beltran, who hit .300 with 24 HRs. Not too bad. The Yankees knew what they'd get if Cano left and they never intended on bringing back Grandy, and I'm not so sure they thought they'd keep Cano either (170 mill? Ha!)

      But 170 also included the interpreter. Bet he didn't think about that. Also, Girardi and Cano didn't like each other. 170 was a public slap. Ahole should have just put Billy Butler in the home run derby 2012.

      Beltran in that stadium could be deadly. Ellsbury was a head scratcher as well as McCann.

      Maybe not...but I didn't start it. I'm not too bothered either way, if you can't laugh you only cry.

      What exactly did he say?

      Husker1806

      He said the ref made a chicken sh&t call for the penalty on him for

      "being too close."

       

    4. Ratt Mhule

      Ratt Mhule

      That the PI was a chickensh#t call and they called the penalty on him bc they knew they missed it. Said Ferentz was acting just as bad and he wasn't penalized

  4. I'd be shocked if this isn't the end of Bo. Whiffing at home badly vs. UCLA, Minnesota, and Iowa just cannot happen no matter how injured you are.

  5. Dear Santa...all I want for Christmas is a comeback.

      Well that drive might be the answer to your Christmas wish.

       

  6. Had just eaten a decent lunch here in Auckland, but stretched the time a bit far. I'm driving back to work and off the street is In-N-Out Burger. What?!? I almost wrecked my car. Apparently the chain has been running 'pop-ups' to test markets around the world. I almost cried that I couldn't stop. And by the way...too much to ask, Taco Bell? Your parent company has parked Pizza Hut and KFC here...

      You could be the first in the whole nation to clip off the edges and create a bumper sticker that says "In-and-Out urge". LOL

  7. Question: Being abroad, how do you listen to the Jim Rome Show? I don't want to pay for his archives, and all the local radio internet feeds won't play it live. Please don't respond with 'Jim Rome sucks'. I know some of you hate him. But I like his show, especially during football season. Not finding much info on his website. Thanks.

  8. Haha...the 'Gruden Grinder' players of the week were Danny Woodhead and Lavonte David.

      Gruden to Nebraska?

      Good speculation.

  9. The NFL brings in billions of dollars of revenue. It's a man sport, full of hard-hitting, testosterone, and violence. Yet the best halftime entertainment they can bring in on Thanksgiving is Selena freaking Gomez? Who's doing the Super Bowl? Miley? One Direction? Tired of this sissified halftime crap.

      Gomez is hot. Miley is waaayyyy too unpredictable for the nfl. I wouldnt call what she may do sissified. Crazy outfits, weed, twerking, etc

      Like many areas of our society no one can agree on anything including music tastes. What would please one segment will cause the others to throw up their hands in disgust. Aging rock stars are no longer a draw. There are few 80's and early 90's artists with enough star power active now who could overlap to older and younger generations.

    4. CornHOLIO

      I thought Selena died in that movie

  10. I predict NU will have to beat Iowa by scoring a goal by a bicycle kick deflected off the volleyball net into the hoop and trickles into the 18th hole.

  11. I'm done with these morons that consider themselves 'refs'. It wasn't any worse than Dan Beebe's 'gift' to NU in the Big 12. Personal foul?!? What are these idiots thinking?!?

    1. Chaddyboxer

      Chaddyboxer

      I concur....that was atrocious

  12. Everyone seems to want the B1G to play conference games right away in September. After the crapfest that Alabama, S. Carolina, and FSU has put up today, I'd rather have the meaningful games be in November.

  13. Help me lose my mind.

  14. I love this song, but now I know why I like listening to it after a Husker loss. Check the lyrics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBW9VEE29W4

  15. Trying to wrap my head around Kent Pavelka broadcasting basketball. It's like listening to Jim Rose and the late Harry Carey kicking each others' *sses.

      I used to listen to most of the games on the radio. They're all on TV now. If they weren't, I would probably miss Pavelka more than I do.

    3. Ric Flair

      I can't stand either Pavelka or Jim Rose. Sharpe is far better in my opinion.

    4. suh_fan93

      suh_fan93

      Greg Sharpe is painful for me to listen to and Jim Rose was the exact same. Pavelka is easily the best out of the 3 and he even does a good job calling Husker hoops.

  16. So I guess it's a new rule that you can touch the ball while your foot is in the endzone. Doesn't matter. Not like this coaching staff knows what the hell is going on.

      I guess. No challenge and the guy that downed it had a foot in the end zone.

    3. 308_Husker

      308_Husker

      The player can be in the endzone. It's all about whether the ball crosses or not. It's different than the NFL.

    4. True2tRA

      True2tRA

      Ok. Thanks 308.

  17. Merry Christmas MSU. Huskers love you.

  18. It's a shame that being a doctor pays so little as compared to an NFL QB...because Peyton Manning is a surgeon.

    1. True2tRA

      True2tRA

      I love having Peyton and Demaryius Thomas both on my FF team.

  19. Is there any youtube or other video of the full Husker basketball game vs. Florida Gulf Coast? All I can find is highlights/audio. Maybe PM me if it isn't appropriate to post...mods?

  20. I bet the fine people at the Nebraska Heart Institute know they've got pretty good job security.

  21. When was the last time NU was shut out? ASU? All I know is it is entirely possible next week.

      SJB is due for a pick-6.

  22. So playing Texas Hold'em...I get pocket Aces, a heart and a diamond. So nice, and the flop is Ace, Jack, 10 of clubs. I've got 3 of a kind. 10 of hearts come on the turn. I have a full house. I'm set. The river card is the 5 of hearts. No problem. All in. Guy has the Queen, King of Clubs. Royal Flush. Worst bad beat I've ever had.

      Damn, I've had some bad beats but yowza that's bad. I've never even made a royal flush. Close once.

    4. Foppa

      Foppa

      I've had one royal flush ever, and I didn't even get much money out of it.

  23. Watching the youtube highlights (thanks to Chaddyboxer), and wow, that was a fairly late hit on that pick 6. But I would *NEVER* want to get hit by RG44. I rewatched it about 5 times and I think I'm sore.

      Yeah...can say the same about the no-calls on holding, but that's to be expected anymore.

      Link? These are the only game highlights I could find:

    4. Atbone95

      Atbone95

      Unless I'm mistaken on the rules, you'll never get called for that. The ball was in Moss' hands before RG initiated contact. The QB becomes just another player between Moss and the endzone, fairly legal to take him out. Still, ouch.
