  1. How often do you guys have your credit cards hacked? Seems like I get fraudulent charges on one of my cards a least every other year.

     

    Somebody just tried to buy a 600 dollar emergency pump withy info...

      Gas stations seem to be the worst places for it.. I've had it happen twice, and both times it was after I filled my car up. Someone in California had taken out $300 in cash and then $300 again at a different ATM.

      My stolen cards are always used at Walmart or Target. Usually in Tennessee.

      GF's card was just hacked today too! DEFCON 5 everyone!!!

  2. I blame Terry Bowden...

     

    All jokes aside, not the result we wanted but damnit was that a could game. I haven't seen guys flying around and hitting like that in years. Pumped for what's to come!

  3. I don't know about you guys but I love eating cereal at home.

      Well, eating cereal any place other than at home is a bit awkward. jmo

       

      BTW, I have no idea who “she” is or what this is in regards to.

      Somebody learned somethings on the father daughter road trip!

  4. I finally had a chance to watch the whole game. The hot takes on Frost's play calling are hot s#!t. There are a few plays here and there that he'd want back, but it was pretty solid. 

     

    The swings were needed and helped open up the inside runs that popped. Just like all the sweeps we ran.

      It's 2nd and 20. They weren't showing any sign of a blitz and there is a single LB in the box with a single high safety in-between the hashes. It's about as good a play call as you want...The RG whiffs on his block so the DT is plugging Adrian's running lane. The pulling LT can no longer pick up the Mike because he's moved past the B gap with Adrain as he bounces outside and the play is dead.

       

      If our guard actually makes his block the pulling tackle picks up the Mike, and the OLB is late to fill because of the PA. Adrian is one on one with the safety for a solid gain.

       

      It's a good play call that was set up all game long. We just broke down at a key position.

      2nd and 20 and our go to play call is a pass that requires 5 yards just to get to the LOS.  You can break it down all you want.  It didn't work, nor has it in any clutch situation this season.  Hence losses to teams we should have beaten.  But yes, in theory it's an awesome play if you have the personnel to run it.

       

      So again, coach the team you have.  Not the one you hope to have in 2yrs.

    4. ZRod

      ZRod

      Uh, no. It's one in a series of plays that gives the defense a single look with 3 possible out comes that they've seen during the game/season: the swing, a deep pass, or the QB run. It didn't work, but it's a pretty basic play that we have the personnel to run. If we can't execute a basic block then we can't run any play. 

       

      It's the theme of this entire season in one play. Inconsistency. 

  5. I for one welcome our new Malaysian overloards!

  6. I haven't seen anyone mention Ameer's stink in the booth for BTN. Dude could have a commentating career after his playing days are over. Very well spoken, very intelligent, and knows the game.

      Tough crowd... I thought he did alright for his first time in the booth as a 20 something year old who isn't around the team a lot. Better than Crouch, and about as good as Damond in the booth.

      @GSG probably... Or the maybe it's because of the bathroom remodel I've been working on for a month in between life.

      No, the upgraded Deus Ex Machina is much better.

  9. I shaved my beard off today. Now after every drink I take I go to suck the liquid off my stache, but there's nothing there. I don't know who I am anymore! It's a cold world out here!!!

  10. I think the only reason we don't consider Northwestern our biggest rival is because they don't have a fan base.

      @ZRod Exactly!  We went to the bar in Evanston a few years back...we opened the door and people were getting the bar ready for opening..it was not even opened up yet!  It was like 9am.  The entire town is just a really nice (sleep) town.

      Nice fans, hard to build up enough hatred to form a rivalry.  They have managed to get under some Illini's skin proclaiming to be "Chicago's B1G team".

  11. I wish they would turn off this fake crowd noise in the empty stadiums. It'd be cool just hearing pads popping and players talking.

      I started playing fanatsy football again, so I've been watching more NFL this year. Plus that GaTech FSU game was pretty good. 

       

      It was comical to see the Lions are still the Lions in 2020. Somethings will never change. Come out looking like Superbowl contenders for 3 quarters and choke it away in the 4th.

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      The Lions have NEVER looked like Superbowl contenders. :P:lol:

      They were smoking the Bears in the first half. They really did look pretty good, but then they did that thing they do so well.

  12. I'm feeling good about this season. I think our bad joo joo went about 450 miles south to Norman. The Sooners literally finding was not to win the games this season. Reminds me of our last 20 years.

      I hope our coaches can see how much special teams failures are hurting even very good teams coming out of Covid. Kick offs need to go to the end zone, punts need great hang time or angled away from the returner and tackling needs to be on point. Coaches brought in enough guys this year to fix last years problems hopefully.

      If nothing else, it's apparent there is more to winning than recruiting rankings and vegas favorites, especially this season. Lots of upsets so far.

  13. I'm finally getting the full page adds... This is not good.

      I imagine the plan is to offer paid membership without ads.  But a certain amount of pain needs to be inflicted first to incentivize sign-ups.  

  14. I'm kind of sad Chalk Talk hasn't been updated in a month.

      I am too; he tends to start strong at the beginning of the season, but falls off around week 4 or 5. We haven't even made it that far this year. 

  15. If Frost doesn't cut it loose with Vedral we are going to lose.

      308_Husker

      Even with the conservative, vanilla playcalling, I already feel like the offense is better with Vedral in there. 

       

      Jurgens, however, is f#&%ing worthless.

  16. If UCF doesn't make it into the playoffs again, somebody needs to file a law suit or something. What's the point of a playoff if you do everything asked of you under two staffs and get snubbed twice in a row.

      This was the perfect opportunity to show that a non PROFIT team can't have it. They would ha e to get through 2 games I. A row with the big boys. Oh well, Viva El Cartel!

       Franakenmuth, been there many times, ate to much is standard for me there also. then picking up some sweets for  home, especially those custard mini fruit pies. But yea, thats a bit of a drive into the state and actually heading there you passed my place by like 5 minutes if you took the freeway up(live right of it). Anyway awesome that you had a great time and didn't get soaked by this unpredictable weather.

  23. It's become pretty apparent listening to football broadcasts this year that ESPN/ABC's crews were absolutely gutted by their competition. The announcers and color commentators are absolutely garbage.

      McElroy just praised the FL WR for blocking down field on a long TD run when obviously holding. They come back from break and then say wow holding missed.  Their analyst comes  on and says basically maybe holding? :facepalm:

  24. It's Friday you shuckers! Tomorrow is gameday at Nebraska! Let's pound some badge tomorrow!!!

  25. It's not game day...
