      I watched it this weekend as well. I really liked it even though GSG had me all prepared to not like it. Thought it was a good blend of Apollo 13, Gravity, and Mission to Mars. Not quite as good as Apollo but much better than the other two.

  2. This team is legit. We are an offensive line, and a great defensive end away from being a playoff contender. That being said everything is still in front of this team despite the loss. Win and we're in. Just win baby!

      Richard, where did Insay we were a legit top four? I said this team is a few key positions way from being a contender, but given the current landscape, they are entirely capable of making it to the dance.

      Not you specifically, but i've seen plenty of posts talking about the playoff. One step at a time...

      I did. It was very good. Saved the party too. Brisket took too long so everyone chowed down on the pork belly and loved it.

  4. Just watched half of What The Health... almost turned it off after the first 10 minutes, but decided to stick it out a little longer for poops amd gigs. Apparently since I eat 3 eggs almost everyday I basically smoke 30 cigarettes every morning. Lol!!!

  5. This should be the death of the committee and the 4 team playoff. If you can't win your conference you should not be in the playoff.

      Take care of business in the season and you won't have to complain about not being in the playoff.  I think what makes college football special is the importance of the regular season.

      You can't have a two loss B1G team but they sure didn't have a problem with Aburn in the playoffs if they won the SEC. Funny. 

    4. ZRod

      ZRod

      Right jaws?

       

      One team per conference. Period. And if a team like UCF can't get in after doing everything right then what's the point of having them in the FCS to begin with?

  6. Anybody, ever buy travel insurance for an overseas trip, or would you?

      Whenever I travel overseas I purchase extra travel health insurance. I go to some remote places with typically bad health care facilities so I like to think that I could be air lifted out if needed. 

    3. Vizsla1

      Vizsla1

      Yes...cancellations & under $10,000 in health related.  Might have been a death/dismemberment too.  Glad I have never had to use them.

      We always buy it when we go on cruises.  Yes, the medical coverage is helpful, but for cruises it also protects you if you miss the ship due to flight delays/weather.  I think that we have always used insuremytrip.com to find the best price/coverage.

      No, the upgraded Deus Ex Machina is much better.

  8. 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

      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.

  9. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.
