      8PM for me, NOOOOOO I finally get the kids to bed and I can catch up on the days happenings.  Why not push it to 10PM PST for us West Coasters.  We all know @Mavric is a robot and doesn't sleep anyways.

      @TonyStalloni, quite possible. What I do know is people will better understand there was a reason this place existed alongside other forums. A nice, simple, forum.

      Red Reign is a big reason I left that site.

  7. RIP Niki Lauda. During the biggest week in Motorsports we loose one of the sports biggest legends, and most honorable human beings. He was read his last rights after his fiery Nurburgring crash, but being the a$$h@!e he was it took death 43 years to claim him.

      I wasn't even aware that he busted Boeing's balls when one of his airliners crashed (yes he owned an airline) and basically made them admit fault. He said he would fly their plane (Niki was also a pilot among many other things) and engage the reverse thrusters mid air. He knew it would cause the plane to crash after flying their simulators. He forced them to issue a statement saying as much, after they initially refused.

       

      The man had no time for bulls#!t.

      @ZRod saw this on Twitter today and thought you might get a kick out of it. It's a side-by-side video comparing F1 pit stops in 2019 to those in 1981. http://digg.com/2019/f1-pit-stop-fast

      I saw that this morning too. Crazy how time in the pits was such an afterthought back then.

  8. Ripping up tile floors sucks! 2 and a half hours and I'm barely done on a small bathroom.

     

    The jabronies used a morter bed with metal mesh in 2003. I would have thought cement board would have been a way better option back then.

      @teachercd I'm ponying up the cash for Trex decking because I don't want to have to do maintenance on this thing again. And since the railing needs to be replaced, I figure I might as well do it right and not have to redo any of it.

    3. ZRod

      ZRod

      Be careful with that composite decking. that stuff can get pretty hot in the sun. Had a toddler burn their feet in our condo association and it wasn't over 80 degrees, and it was cloudy outside.

    4. RedDenver

      RedDenver

      @ZRod I had heard that too. I ordered some samples to find the color we liked, so I took the sample pieces out onto the deck and left them in the sun for several hours. Then I measured the temps, and surprisingly the dark-colored composite material was about 10 deg cooler than the old wood deck and the light composite was a few deg cooler than the darker material.

      It's really sobering to think that if it weren't for a Kellogg-to-Westy Hail Mary, NW would be undefeated in Lincoln since we joined the league.

      I try not to think about that and focus more on the fact that MSU has only beaten us twice in the whole history of the world!

  10. SEC refs are right up there with the B1G. So far I've seen spearing, face mask, PI and holding all going uncalled in the first quarter. 3 of those were in the same series.

      I didn't see the play, but if it's not done immediately after the snap or they double clutch it before they spike, then that is intentional grounding.

  11. Since it's the off season and we have a Martinez highlight video up... Will Adrian Martinez be the first Husker QB to start at QB in the NFL in like forever?

      No amount of training will take Martinez's arm into Mahomes territory. Not saying Martinez can't be a great NFL QB, that's just a big difference I see between the two.

      Give him 3 years in Duval's S&C program you guise!

      Of course I am anticipating some growth for the true freshman 2AM to be near the same level of a Mahomes. But I don’t think there is any denying their style of play is similar. And since the question was will he be the first Husker QB to start in the NFL in a long time, I think it’s a factor that the style of play the NFL is looking for seems to be expanding and trending in that direction and it’s no longer just the standard pocket passer. It may be a long shot but he’s likely the best chance we’ve had in a long time.

  12. So 2020's got that going for it. Which is nice.

  13. So did we loose our Sunbelt title this weekend?

  14. So we need to bring Frank back to Memorial and sacrifice what mascot to break this curse? Bevo, Ralphie, nuke a cyclone, make some tiger boots, clip a jay hawk, skin a wild cat?

  15. So, a friend who is a nurse was approached by some pretty major national news outlets to potentially do a "Diary" type thing of her experience as she treats COVID patients. She wants to do it to speak out about how under prepared everyone is, not specifically her place of employment.

     

    The fiancée and I fully support her, but I'm pretty nervous about her potentially getting reprimanded by her employer, or even fired. Any ideas how she could CYOA legally to protect against any retribution?

      I guess one thing to think about it...is as a nurse (if she lost her gig) she would have a new one before she cleaned out her locker.

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      If the news outlet can't/won't give her a contract to replace her salary, if it comes to that, then there probably isn't any way for her to CYOA. She needs to realize she is basically on her own legally and then decide what she wants to do.

    4. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      @teachercd Maybe, maybe not. Even in this environment potential new employers may want recent work history or recommendations. Hospitals will always frown upon exposé type stuff.

  16. So, our QBs aren't making the greatest decisions in the running/RPO game... Martinez maybe made one read correctly the first two series (the defender played it almost perfect though on the one I'll give AM), and made a bad false step on the counter speed option that, combined with not attacking the EMOL, cost us big yards. Bunch didn't seem too much better from what I remember. 

     

    Compounded with piss poor pass protection it led to almost no yardage...

      You may be exactly right ZRod. I've seen so many more dire problems that QB reads and decisions haven't even registered with me. And to be fair, I haven't yet seen the 2nd half of the Michigan game....probably never will. 

    4. teachercd

      Reads are hard AF...Passing reads are so much easier than run reads...Years ago Air Force would read the DT first...then the End...that is bonkers.  No one does that s#!t...And high school isn't college...in HS a cat like AM can make the wrong read or a bad read and still go for a TD.

      Well, I've got bad news for ya. Chase Daniel is your starting QB these days.

      Warm ups are important! I always do a good dynamic warmup before HIIT type stuff for that very reason.

      A slow, graded return to full activity is the way to go. Hit me up if you want any specific exercises to slowly ramp it back up to 100%.

      We lived in a tiny town in northwest Missouri and for the girls, softball WAS our summer! It was the same for the boys. Both my parents coached teams and my dad was an umpire almost any time they needed him. (God rest his soul.  I didn't care for it when he was the ump though because I was a terrible hitter.  He would always say, 'You run like a damn girl!'  Newsflash Dad!  I AM a girl! LOL)   My husband was born/raised here in Omaha and he said he couldn't remember a time when they didn't have pick up games of baseball.  We both love that movie!  What is your favorite part?  Mine is when the kid with the glasses finally gets to kiss the lifeguard!  HILARIOUS!!  That part cracks me up every time I watch it!
