      How did I get brought into this!?

       

      And yeah, more than 6 and GSG can pick me up on the way.  Made a sweet mix tape to jam out to for the trip.

  4. Another day in America, another mass shooting... 12 dead near Pepperdine University, including a LEO with 29 years of service.

      @Redux I think you might be on to something with both those points. Ever since Columbine there has been this desensitization and glorification of mass shootings. Couple that with action movies and what not, and especially too lax of gun laws and you've got yourself a huge issue. I think that Pandora's box has been open for far too long to think a rounding up of weapons could be extremely successful, but something has got to change. Stricter background checks and preventative measures would be a damn good start.

      any regulation at all is fought tooth and nail by the NRA and the current administration so new laws are out of the question.  heck....the evil libs enacted exactly 1 gun control law while obama was president (a law designed to let law enforcement organizations trade info easier about mental patients) and trump repealed that law.    so i guess our best possible answer is to  ignore the shootings

      All, please be mindful of our guidelines with politically-themed content in status updates. If you want to discuss the NRA, gun control, or similar topics related to this recent shooting, please do so in P&R. I don't have a problem with sharing the news of the mass shooting. Thank you.

      Damn.  Very nice.

  6. 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.

  7. Hell of a good game! Just came up a few plays short. That's how you're supposed to play football with the big guys.

    1. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Yep, but still frustrating because we could’ve easily won that one. Offense stalled out for a bit too long and special teams contributed nothing good again. Defense did much better than I expected.

      We need to focus on ST now, and make sure the defense keeps progressing. Mishaps in the ST game have potential cost us 2 or 3 games now.

       

      I really wish we got Morgan more involved early on in games like we did last week. He can set a tone just with his style of play alone.

  8. It's quiet around here... Too quiet...

      I think nervous. I mean we have a chance to knock off Ohio State. But there is also the possibility that they will destroy us. Nervous. (BUT!  GO BIG RED!!! :bigredn:)

      Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

      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.

       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.

  11. Where's my week old beer at Squakeye fans?

      Went to the Akron game expecting to see the first win.

       

      Went to the Colorado game thinking I had a good chance to see the first win.

       

      Going tomorrow. Never thought I had a chance to still see the first win but.....

      No, yesterday was our kickers fault.  Yesterday was our secondaries fault.  Yesterday was our coaches fault.  They did everything to HAND us that win and we couldn't take it.  The refs sucked....again, but how the blue s#!t do you not win when up by two scores?

      It was pretty damn good! Smoke flavor was an excellent compliment to the USDA Prime!

       

      Only complaint was the meat texture wasn't quite perfect. I had to hold the steak and then bring it back up to temp because it finished before the GF was done with work. Color was perfect, but it felt dry even though it was juicy and tatsed amazing. GF loved it, but I'm a perfectionist about cooking.

       

      Everything else was some of my finest work! Chanterelles are delicious!

  16. This team needs to believe. They can win. They show flashes of being a good team and then they get mind f#&%ed and do just plain stupid things.

      At this point I just want to see them find a way to start having fun, and playing loose.

    2. ZRod

      That's a big part of it. The defense finally got loose in the 2nd half. Then the refs spotted Turdue 14, and the offense decided it wanted to give the fans blue balls.

  17. Well, I think that was rock bottom. We we're not even remotely good at any single phase of the game that half... :flush:moreinteresting

  18. 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.

      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.

  19. Pretty sure Tom Brady just tried to throw a deep ball to the back judge and got called for intentional grounding... :blink:

  20. Pretty sure this used to be called a form tackle. As in, perfect form! Smdh... NFL is a joke now.

      To this point, I'm guessing the NFL is fine with pushing the boundaries of sanity until their revenue tells them to do otherwise.

      Death, taxes, Packers whining about the refs.

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

  22. Can we switch football brands? Literally the only consistent thing over the years is NU fumbling and using Adidas football... This is ridiculous! Get some old school Wilsons.

  23. Quincy Enunwa having a pretty productive first half! I think he has 3 3rd down catches, and looks to be Darnold's go to receiver.

    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!

  25. New Mexico vs Wisconsin is an interesting matchup to watch in anticipation of October 6th.
