If Maryland gets in and we don't (and our end results are similar), then I'm not gonna believe people saying team history doesn't matter. Maryland is a basketball school, and that'd be the tie breaker.

@Huskerzoo I completely understand. Been there myself...but this season I kinda went in looking for improvement and for Miles to try and keep his job....so it’s been a pleasant surprise. 

Walgreens cheaper version of Excedrin Migraine, the stuff works and within 15 mins.  It what @Reduxsaid is true, then you'll have that for a week or 2.

I hope it's not brain cysts.

@Huskerzoo Yeah, moving around in academic jobs can be tough on any relationship between you and more senior members of the department you are leaving. One reason is because filling a open faculty line can be a 1-2 yr prospect for the department. Honestly, you got to do what is best for you.

As far as when you should tell your chair you are on the market, you got to read your own situation. It does not always pay to tell your chair you are leaving early in the process because I have heard stories about chairs trying to sandbag your candidacy. On the other hand, I have heard riffs can form between you and your former colleagues if you wait too late or leave under uncertain terms.

Moving past all of these generalities and worst case scenarios, from what I know about your situation, you are making a good move. It is hard living apart for a spouse, so getting appointments at the same university is awesome.

Employees are supposed to give employers advance notice, but how often do employers give advance notice that they're cutting an employee loose?

Moving around in education sucks...It is almost like they try to shame you for leaving or wanting to leave.

Us too, this weekend anyway. Best of luck!

I think you have that backwards!!

Happy birthday!

I always thought it much more logical to have the day after your birthday (or 5th of July) off to recover from said celebration

Almost decided to make the trek, but Nebraska is 0-2 in games I've attended this year. That, and the Vikings are in KC this weekend....Can't miss that.

I'll take the colonoscopy. At least you're unconscious for that 

Leaning towards the colonoscopy.  Too many pissy attitude cowards during offseason.  Same really during season but at least there are games to distract me from getting annoyed by it.

Is this related to the lube question?

Congrats Huskerzoo.  Just under 3 months until my nuptials and can't wait for the season to start as well.  

You will be in such a state of wedded bliss you may not even care about Husker football this year. 

And thank you from all people everywhere for not having your wedding during football season. Blessing and best wishes! 

Hate us cuz they aintis?

The shake-up will be so healthy and add to a quicker buy-in and turnaround.  Love it.

So is Tyjon gone?

No Tyjon is not gone. But not being able to work out with the team could put him behind big time.  

@ladyhawke I'm a professor. I love it. As of today, I have 14 projects up and running and teaching 2-3 classes a semester. School psych isn't my jam, but yeah we need good ones. 

Huskerzoo-Excellent! I couldn't have done my job without the input of both clinical and school psychologists (I'm a Speech-Language Pathologist-retired).

Congrats, Zoo!  

Bring Back Bo

Mav, I figured that was the case. One word wrecked it.

Imagine that. Diaco would have ruined him in Lincoln, ruined him at OU, and is “thriving” in Grinch’s defense? Go figure 

Oh, wedding rehearsal places.

Scratch Phat Jack's, Momo's, and all those places.

I'd call Toast. They have pretty decent food, good beers on tap (& a full bar, and a room large enough to accommodate your group that can be sealed off from the rest of the restaurant.  I'm pretty sure with enough advance notice they'd reserve that space for you.

Lazlo's down south (56th & Old Cheney) has a room that should accommodate that group, too. And it's pretty easy to get to from anywhere in town.

Those would be the first places I'd call for a rehearsal dinner. 

Good luck!

Green Gateau downtown is nice. Lincoln doesn’t have many great dining options. For good food, I usually recommend driving to Omaha. 

Really, no Misty's yet? Downtown one is nice and pretty casual. Fireworks would be good too.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

I got to see Pantera 4 times there! 

Did Potatoes O'Brien transfer there?

I'm with you, @Huskerzoo -- like the guy, but not as a starting QB.

I wanted him to shine. Not so much.

Tanner Lee, your stat line...  woof!

Bring it back home!

So to confirm the chair was officially brought to the game? I knew it was made but not sure how "legit"  it became.

amazing!

@knapplc Hah! I mean, it is downright amazing. 

Well there goes your future NFL career.  lulz

Seriously though, I hope it's not serious.    

Go see a Physical Therapist. 

@Comfortably Numb I don't think you are prepared to go inside my head...

@ZRod....you're right, I didn't think this through 

I write behavior plans intervention plans for kids in the school systems.  behavior is an interest of mine and I have some education and experience in the field. And I just like to research and debate but it is hard to type anything elaborate out on my phone 

Well, that sucks. But, i firmly believe all things happen for a reason.  Something wonderful will arise.

That’s hard. How far apart? Hubby and I lived apart for the first 4-5 years and while it was difficult, it was like being on vacation when we were together. 

Last year it was about 8 hours of flying and 2 time zones. This year it's a 4 hour drive. Next year we might be back to flying unless something else pans out. It's just exhausting and we're talking about kids and whatnot. 

That sounds disgusting...

Unless you've been in an accident or have a birth defect, you have 10 delivery devices at the end of your arms.

Really a finger is the only appropriate utensil for peanut butter unless it's too far down the jar.

I'm at a university. We're closed for the next three weeks. Just enough time to enjoy downtime without getting bored. 

I own a landscaping company. Winter time is for yard clean-ups and landscape/tree trimming.... I always try and give the guys a significant amount of time off around Christmas, because work is slower anyways, and selfishly, it's my favorite time of year. haha.

College finals are graded. HS finals are this week. Then I can start Christmas shopping.
