  1. Rex deserved a ring damnit!

  2. Tom Petty's death ruled an accidental overdose. He played 53 dates on a fractured hip which he was informed on the day of his death had worsened to a full on break.

      Now that's rock-'n'-roll. Bum knee, broken hip but take painkillers cuz the show must go on. What a shame he left us so early.

      I have never been to a gymnastics meet or a wrestling match.  Been to one softball game, one soccer match.

      I may have been to a wrestling match as a kid, but I don't remember. And I've only watch soccer as I walked by the field on campus or played YMCA soccer at Abbot.

      I want to see a match at Hibner. It looks like a really neat stadium.

      I think it's probably easier to learn in Mi since the runs are pretty short. We will definitely be hitting some of the hills around here before winter is over.

      Wut?  So GSG lives in Colorado and went skiing in Michigan for the first time. And ZRod lives in Michigan and went skiing in Colorado for the first time.  You guys are doing it wrong.  lol

  7. Does Scott Frost make another make impassioned speech challenging next week's winner to take on UCF?  Or does it take 17 years for the NCAA to make changes again.

    1. Enhance

      Enhance

      I believe Frost is done opining for UCF publicly. It's (officially) not his job anymore and it wouldn't do much good at this point. It made sense yesterday given that he was coaching the game and asked the question.

    2. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      I get the point of the question and that you were being a little facetious but it's time for Frost to start solely focusing on Nebraska.

  8. Guess who's done watching college football this year.

  9. I'm going on a ski trip over the break and I've never been skiing or snowboarding. Any recommendations from some of the more alpine members as far as goggles, helmets, gloves? Obviously I don't want to drop a lot of money on first time equipment as I probably won't be going regularly. Should I rent a helmet/goggles or buy my own?

      Lessons?  Are you at all athletic?  Like...can you ice skate?  Can you walk and chew gum?  Can you dunk?  Okay...nevermind...take the lessons.  Everyone told me it was just like ice skating...I have played hockey since I was 13...guess what...it is nothing like ice skating.  Watch the movie Frozen (not the kids one, the other one)  good luck!

    3. Bradr

      Yep, take a lesson your first day. Unless you have experience with skateboarding, surfing, wake boarding, etc, you will probably pick up skiing much faster.  Keep your ski length short.  Shorter skis are easier for newbies to pivot/turn.  Don't go down black slopes.  Probably avoid blues.  Snow pants are a must.  Bring a flask of whiskey and share it on the chair lift.  Wear comfy ankle or knee length socks.  Helmet is probably not needed (you should't be getting anywhere near a tree on your first few days.)  Goggles are better than glasses if the snow is falling or blowing.  Otherwise, sunglasses are better.  If it's reaaaally cold, wear a neck gaiter.  Drink Rumplemintz and hot chocolate at the end of the day, followed by venison & buffalo chili.

      Meh, you could probly skip lessons.  Lessons spend a couple hours teaching you to snowplow, when you could figure that out yourself in about ten minutes.  Just stick to the easiest bunny slopes and practice going from snowplowing to skiing with your skis parallel.  And learn how to fall down without breaking anything.  Maybe just watch a few youtube lessons ahead of time.  /jmho

      The 10th mountain one's are pretty slick too with weather snow camo helmets (fitting for the weather there).

      And there’s the downside. This will be the longest off season ever but at least there is rational hope now. As we’re waiting impatiently we can be calmed by the fact this team will truly be getting better and better by the day.

      I was just talking about this.   Heh.

  12. 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?

  13. Badgers got screwed on the missed PI tackle.

      Well that was an all star crew of B1G officials. Figures they’d call a poor game. I haven’t been impressed with the officiating in this conference at all. Call ticky tacky stuff all day long but blow blatant game changing calls.

    3. brophog

      The SEC title game had a few calls like that, too.

      There was a holding/block in the back call in the 4th qtr on a long gain by Wisky I thought was tacky tack also.

  14. Frost alert: Scott seen wearing red shirt walking into the stadium today.

  15. Why does the media think TO still has his finger on the program? The media really doesn't know anything about Nebraska anymore, except our records.

      Honestly, I hope he doesn't have anything to do with it anymore, let the man be, he gave so much to this program just leave him in peace.

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      @ZRod Oh yeah, I agree with that. “They” make it out to be way more and different than it is.

    4. macroboy

      The media is lazy. Buy roping TO into a narrative they at least reference Nebraska at a time when we were relevant. 

  16. I got a question for you! Could Scott Frost microwave a runza so hot that he himself could not eat it?

    1. Redux

      Redux

      Irrelevant, Scott Frost is so on fire that he could warm said Runza just by holding it.

      Aaahhh, the age old question....like which came first, the chicken or the egg but much tougher to decipher.

      He's been very upfront and open about things, but also answers things well so that he doesn't put himself in a corner with his words.

  20. Did Frost have a dip in during the post game interview? 

     

    There was some black stuff in his teeth and he was sorta talking out the side of his mouth.

      Its just some bad chest congestion. Coughing, gasping for air. Other than that don’t really feel too bad. Wife is cooking, she wisely won’t let me anywhere near the food/kitchen. The aroma is killing me, normally I’d be in there sneaking some samples...

    4. ZRod

      Ha I wish you strength until the food is done!

       

      My dad's got pneumonia, but he's doing alright. He was short of breath earlier this week so my mom was finally able to take him to a clinic haha

  23. Huge natural gas fire north of Detroit! I live about 7 miles from the fire but it looks like it's just down the block the way the night sky is lit up. Sounds like a jet has been circling my neighborhood for the past hour. Hopefully everyone stays safe.

      ZRod, how is it this morning in your neck of the woods? Anymore to report on the big fire of last night?

    3. ZRod

      ZRod

      I guess it left an 18 foot crater. The fire burned itself out after about an hour and a half, had to burn through 7 miles of gas in the line. No injuries reported.

       

      I'll probably see how close I can get to it this weekend :D

    4. ladyhawke

      Wow.  Well, glad to hear you are safe.  Hang in there!
