Appreciate your perspective @B.B. Hemingway, but I do take one issue with what you said and I'm not sure if it was your intended meaning - "They rap about the same stuff as they sing about in bro country (which I don't care for either)."

It seems like you're equating all forms of rap with just one apparent sub-genre of country, which gravely undermines the true depth and scope of rap music. It also seems like you're sharing this perspective as someone who only casually happens upon inadvertent anecdotal experiences rather than someone who has authentically attempted to experience the rap genre. Perhaps you've done the latter but, if you had, I'm unsure if you would have phrased the sentence in the way you did. Most of the rap I listen to includes little to none of the stereotypes you mentioned, and it sounds like much of the country you listen to avoids similar nonsense.

Without getting too political, one important aspect of rap is understanding the roots of the genre. It's partially the result of hundreds of years of societal and systemic racism, the fallout from policies, events and procedures that helped breed poverty, drug problems and violence in the black community. There's a lot of literature on the topic, but, I think further discussion of this particular point probably belongs in a P&R thread rather than a status update.

The only country I can tolerate i/e actually seek it out and listen to is usually Merle or Willie just to name a few.  There's a few others but I would rather listen to Wham than any sort of new country especially any of that horrible 'bro' country.  That sort of 'music' is indeed hot garbage most definitely.

Social media is inherently creepy if we're being honest.

Embrace it.  

Yes, take note recruits!  Take note of the .00001% of Nebraska fans DMing Keyshawn Jr. on Twitter! YOU DON'T WANT THAT IN YOUR LIFE!!!!!

Jr is just annoying as his dad except his dad was actually good at football and put in the work.

the end of calabraska is not a bad thing. i'd take a bunch of poor kids from south florida before i take a bunch of rich kids from malibu.

Ohhhh I haven't had an old fashioned in forever!

I'd never even heard of one before...And I always thought I had Old Fashioned ways

Um, stop being a pu&&y and drink your whiskey straight. If it's a sh#t whiskey, then get some good stuff and stop being cheap. It's blasphemy to mix a real whiskey with anything but maybe a dash of purified water, depending on the bottle. f'ing amateurs.

No one at Nebraska, other than the head coach, seems to run their mouth anymore...and maybe that's a bit of the problem.

"Running their mouths." C'mon, man. Cheer up, its the season.

All i'm saying is that championship teams have guys that talk like this.

Okay, phew.  I mean, damn. But that's minor compared to him leaving.

Apparently it was a thread on RSS where Callahan "confirmed" it, but then the thread was locked and deleted. 

FWIW, allegedly Callahan said he wasn't there today, but he will be at practice tomorrow.

NO! YOU'RE A BAD PERSON AND SHOULD FEEL BAD!

Now it says 26% chance of rain at 7pm and 59% chance of rain at 8pm and 58% chance at 9pm. Hopefully we can get a good lead before the rain starts and then just sit on it.

Will they ever be able to predict the weather?

Not in this state

Congrats!

Congrats!  

All your friends when you get married before football season.

most theories lack humor. they are generally pretty academic and technical.

Tried to watch it, humor was typical sitcom, goofy faces, laugh track...the horror.

samesies. laugh tracks piss me off. except for seinfeld.

@krc1995 I am talking about season as a whole, sure there have been glimpses and flashes of excitment, but that 7-0 start in 2016 ended with some of the worst games I have ever witnessed. 62-3 nuff said.

@krc1995 totally wrong.  I've said many times, that 7-0 record was a total farce.  Those 7 games were painful to watch, we could have just as easily lost most of them.  All that stretch did was give the uber Riley fans ammo to put him on a pedestal even though the team was dangling by a thread.  The only time I thought maybe we turned a corner was hanging with Wisconsin, then we found a way to s#!t the bed in that game too and all fell into place and the team tanked immediately after that as expected.

I felt better about our team during the end of his first year than I did during his second year while they were undefeated.  You could see it on the field they were getting softer.  This isn't revisionist history, this is a point I've made MANY times.  As mentioned above, the mask came off and the Ohio State debacle and Iowa game revealed what the team was made of.  The veil was thin and the tough teams punched a hole through us.  Many people saw it coming.

I'm actually a little disgusted I have to defend this.  I'll be honest, I tried longer than most to support that worthless excuse of a coach and staff.  I did my best to try and get excited about what they were doing.  But watching them play was emotionally draining, you could tell they had no drive, no desire, no direction and no clue where they needed to be most plays.  The o ly difference between 2016 and 2017 was the games that barely swung in our favor, the lucky breaks we got, swung and broke the other way.

He also got some messages from great husker fans on RSS.

Yea, Frost built that team and he needs to recruit he's team. UCF didn't go from a loosing program to unbeaten by coincidence where he just happened to be there, thats statistically improbable.  They are reaping he's time there atm. Besides, Nebraska's season is just damn downright bizarre, this team could have easily just have had 1-2 losses tops. This week was the ref calls near the end of the game, you rarely see so many borderline calls go one sided as there is almost always a give and take

Rarely?  By rarely you mean nearly every week right?

T.O. didn't win the Big 8 until his third year and didn't win a national championship until his 22nd. He then won 3 in 4 years.

When you're unf#cking a team as screwed up in terms of talent, depth & culturally as this one has become, it's going to take some time sailing over very choppy waters before you hit smooth sailing again.

I look forward to the "they were Frost's recruits"  discussion in two years.

What I was most surprised by is how their defense improved dramatically despite losing their best players (yes I know they had a tough first quarter against Memphis).

I wouldn't say it deminished what Frost accomplished as much as it exposed Chinander further.

watching them they do not seem as good as last year. I am sure I have some type of bias but all I see are Frosts players a year older. Offensively Heupel is just keeping the same offense going. Personally I do not think Heupel holds a candle to Frost in terms of coaching ability but he hasn't messed it up just yet. Will be interesting to see what it looks like as was mentioned in a previous comment after Frosts speed leaves the program and if it is replaced with equal or better talent.

@teachercd & @Ziebol You guys will grow to hate those Hallmark movies after your wife has them on 247 for about 2 years. I know.

If you like Hallmark Movies, this one sounds incredible.

My god!!!  HAHAHA

I'd be a little less worried if it weren't for all these damn injuries.

As I was killing time before work I had the BIG Ten Network on. Michigan ran a very traditional offense against PSU and they were very predictable. I'm more worried about NW because they run an offense that has given us more fits in the past.

NW might be without Kain Colter for a bit? That's what I heard anyway....

I said the same thing about UCF,MSU,Syracuse,Texas Tech, and Utah State. Bowls have a funny way of bringing out the best of certain teams.

Well, we can enjoy it while it lasts!

Taking a Saban. LOL

Probably mine, sd'sker. I made a negative thread once.

I'm not saying that a recruiting class rank isn't his fault however you can only do so much if kids can't qualify

It's all Faux Pelini's fault. Because he kept that damn cat.

I think we lose RG44 to the first round in the nfl draft.

I really hope RG44 follows Ameer's example and stays for his senior year.

^ that'd be asking a lot...haha.

I really got into cigars in college...there was a shop in Lincoln we would hit up and then smoke on our roof over at 30th and T...we listened to tunes and had some beers...it was awesome!  But I don't think I ever really got into the names of them.

Quit wasting your time and money, Rocky Patel decade!!

Rocky Patel? Peasant. Go big or go home. God of Fire 2007 Carlito. 

I'm just kidding, that's super expensive. Try an Artura Fuente 858 Maduro, Work of Art Maduro, Oliva V, CAO Brasilia, CAO Cameroon, Liga Privada no. 9, T52 and Undercrown. Those are some of my favs, but I can recommend some lighter cigars, like the 5 Vegas Gold and Diesel Unholy c$%ktail (that are also on the cheaper side). Generally you want to get the thinner vitolas, like a lancero, as most of the flavor in a cigar comes from the wrapper (outer leaf). Thus the thinner the cigar, the higher wrapper to binder/filler ratio you get (thus more flavor).

I'd be okay until I read all the bad excuse-making on Huskerboard, then I'd like

I would really be bummed out.  It would really, suck and I try not to think about it bc I know it is very possible.  I keep using the excuse of "well, we have a difficult road ahead of us".  Then I realize the difficult road is Minny, Iowa, and Wisconsin.  All teams that we should be able to beat regularly.  Wouldnt change my level of fandom, it would just really suck to see Frost miss bowl games his first 3 season as our Head Coach. Luckily, I coach football and our team has been really good the past few years, so that helps drown the sorrow of Husker Football in the fall.  

I guess it would depend on the nature of the losing season.  If *knock on wood*....*knocks on wood again* NU gets clobbered by the injury bug to key positions than there really isn't much you can do.  If it's due to absurd dumb stuff, that would certainly be more frustrating.  I've been betting on sports for so long that it takes a near catastrophic event for me to really get slightly annoyed.  I watch Nebraska because I want them to do well and people are in a better mood when the team is good.  The day I let what an 18-22 year old does on an athletic field affect my day that isn't my kid is the day I stop watching.

I don't consider a Oklahoma winning an upset. That's what should happen.

I like Oregon to win by 10+ and Baylor to eeek out a win vs OU at home. If it was at OU, then probably OU.

Oklahoma upsets Baylor? Upsidedownland is so much fun.

@Redux Venmo. Shoot me a message with your email if you want to join and I’ll send you the invite with all the info.

How's Venmo work, never used it.  Yeah I'm interested

Aight I'm in, everyone else be in

Colorado has a couple of wide receiver threats that are legit, one of which is already being talked about for Sunday play, and a solid O-Line (save Center) and D-Line. 

Yeah, this could end up being a lot closer than people think, especially if some of our starters get on the field and piss down their leg. 

I knew that QB would give us fits.

Yeah, good for you dch

Need a little defense here. 3 outs away.

Another big double play! Ball game boys Birds 3-1.

Feeling good about things, but my 30 years as a fan has taught me that 3-1 leads are never safe.

4-4 doesn't mean anything other than 4 teams outscored Wyoming by the final buzzer. There are many good teams that lose which could be because of all sorts of reasons. Maybe they lost to Ohio State, maybe their Senior QB got injured for the rest of the season, maybe they just haven't really figured out how good they really are. We have seen many times how the same roster this season can win a title and completely tank the next season. It's all relative.

Clarification: Comment based on taking statement on face value. WYO could have been an OSU cupcake (even though I know they weren't), the Senior QB could have been their Aaron Rogers equivalent, etc. I would think you know what I mean, and I hear what you are saying.

Sorry for the triple post...And that is not to mention that we all know you can't make a straight comparison of a 4-4 Wyoming to a now 6-2 (bowl bound again) Gopher team. And if you believe that those are bad teams and Nebraska is getting scorched so badly for yardage by them, then maybe the truth is that Nebraska is just as bad of a team? Sacrilegious as that sounds.

we wont lose

Why thank you sir.

Mutton Chops!
