They lost more than they brought it or improved. They have to get back to winning with scrappyness because they are very limited offensively.

No big man.

He's already hit the pension threshold (3 years) for the NFL. That is all you can ask for as a 6th round pick

I think he'll go to the Pats and be the next Danny Woodhead, and meet up with Westerkamp who will be the next Wes Welker. And Carter will take Gronks place.

As a Pats fan, I hope this happens.

I had a legit suggestion, but making up some nonsense seemed like way more fun. You should start a date night thread. That could be very interesting *eyebrow waggle*

Tony, we're dating but more or less engaged. Live together and I'll put a ring on it by the end of the year (probably).

Double date with husKSer.

My pleasure.

Yes! 

So the plan is I'm going to be proposing while we stay in that room. We did a giant scavenger hunt that got us free hotel rooms with McMenamins. So I want to frame the art from the room for her xmas gift. 

Nice! 

Someone cut your cocaine with drywall and you're going through withdrawl?

You picked a bad day to stop smelling glue?

 @NM11046, you just reminded me of another movie I have to add to my most re-watchable movies list.

@teachercd As a young professor, tenure is like strapping a time-bomb on your chest. You have 5 years to prove to the university you have a stable, productive, and independently-funded research program with the added charges of service and teaching expectations. The dream of becoming an old professor is secondary to the hope you can keep your job following your tenure review.

"Strapping a bomb to your chest!  Haha!  I bet it is!  I thought it was 7 years though, but still...it is amazing that the system is set up in such a "good ole boy" way...

Basically you are getting hazed for 5 years (or less!) and then once you are "in" you are pretty protected (right?).

@Thanks_Tom RR

My buddy is a Prof at PSU now...his last stop before that was in New Zealand. 

The difference between pre-tenured and tenured status is that colleges can choose to not renew the contract and terminate a professor without cause or reason during the probationary, pre-tenured period. The university has to demonstrate incompetence or unprofessional conduct before firing a tenured professor. So, tenure provides some job security, but it does not make you bullet-proof. You still get evaluated for promotions and raises; you just get the right to be fired with cause.

What's more messed up is Kiper is still hyping Manti in his draft commercials.

beanman, I think you're right in your assessment. His hip flexibility lacks for man coverage. Technique isn't that good.

Tyrann Mathieu is not a bad person. Cannabis should be legal. Yeah he broke some rules but those rules are pretty ridiculous in my opinion. And if you guys don't think anyone on the Nebraska football team smokes weed then you're an idiot.

clyde40-I just saw that he posted! lol

I've been on this board for 8 years. I got off the Bo bandwagon a few weeks ago. You won't here me rant about getting Bo fired. I will state the obvious 5 year debacle on undisciplined football, stupid penalties, timely turnovers ... it never changes. I listen to a lot of crap on this board over my tenure ... I think I have a right to speak up about the consistent problems that have not changed. By the way, I don't believe I am included in your post ... but just stating wher...

I've noticed that when we win these same people who are calling for Bo's head are no where to be found. Interesting.

Like Duke said...you don't have much to worry about it...they want you to complete. Now, finding a sweet gig at a sweet school...that could be harder! Got a buddy at a University in New Zealand now!

I'd pregame a little bit at your local watering hole. That's just me though. Stay loose!

I'd take a job at the University of New Zealand. Check in for me.

Congrats! Just stay out of my head........it's a jungle in there.

Clinical psychology - that's crazy

Congrats man!!! Or shall I say Dr. lol

I feel like the random gifbombings are some of my best work on this board. I would be sad if that went away.

Usually those only happen in threads that are destined for a lock anyway, though.

+1 for zoo

Okay okay, I'll volunteer to be the one who defines what's bad and what isn't

Actually, I do understand that there was some legitimate discussion going on in that thread. But as happens from time to time and much more recently, there are a few posters who want to beat the same dead horse in every thread. Hopefully when "those" guys start yet another thread for that purpose we can Enola Gay the sh#t out of it.

@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.

Sorry to hear. Hope things are looking up soon!

Sorry to hear man. I recently just got out of a 7.5 year myself with the daughter's mother. Head up and the other head down for the UTI part lol.

Sounds like its prolly been over for awhile. Just stay away from the bayou and the swamp. http://www.viralglobalnews.com/health/death-map-by-cdc-displays-distinctive-causes-of-death-per-state/30575/

NUance wins

Poopourri? Got some rose geranium, goes a long way at work.

It's less walking around in flipflops and more benevolent manipulation by pulling at peoples heart strings.

Love me a good FAP

Wow! Congratulations!

I left my sperry topsiders at home today Chet and I are going out on his yacht later today. You know.

I'm in academia it's the summer which means no human interaction. I get to wear whatever I want for now.

So tomorrow is au naturale?

Anything for you baby

Send an email, then 5 min later call the boss and see if s/he got the email you just sent

That would not fly at my work. If it was sent to you in an email your on the hook. But bosses are busy so if I don't get an immediate response when I need it I always talk or call them.

At my job your responsibility only ends when you've confirmed that it ends. Sucks but it's the way things roll.

Wow! I just looked at his salary. Dude makes $1.4M as a DC (2nd highest paid assistant coach nationally). Nm, moving on.

Hah, yeah that's part of why I said Tucker. I think we could bump tucker up to 1M (25% raise) and get a good coach with high recruiting savvy in a region we don't recruit well (he has both midwest and east coast ties).

Mel Tucker, the old Bears DC Mel Tucker? oh god no

Ree-ducks

You're more dud now than dude, twisted and evil.

Nap-ick 

Mainly because of how many people think it's an uppercase I and not a lowercase l

I've run into a similar issue in corporate America with my boss. Worked my ass off on a project, got it going and was getting accolades, then she saw the upside and reassigned me to take credit for my work. I think she's having problems with karma right now as a result though. 

Just be patient and keep a journal/track of these grievances, so if something more serious comes around, you can show a pattern/history. 

@ZRod yeah, sorry was typing late last night. It's unethical for him to not give me proper credit. Also unethical for him to retaliate if I were to bring something up. He'll still do both. This was from my last job, so the finished products of the stuff I designed are starting to roll out, this will probably come up about 3 more times. However, he's still my best bet at landing a grant, still need him to help figure out the two body problem, he also will be a reviewer on a large amount of my publications. 

There are some people you just can't afford to piss off. 

I don't want you walking into a lose-lose situation. Why is he the best bet at you landing a grant? Sounds like you're working together on research and without him you wouldn't be able to complete the research? I just don't want you to find yourself in a position where he's your best bet at landing a grant and then he pulls some sort of stunt that doesn't benefit you in any way, shape, or form. 

I'm also very unfamiliar with the grant process. How much does the reputation of the submitter play in the awarding of the grant? 

@Redux that's why I said next year. 

In all honesty, I think a strong sports psychologist would go a long way for some of our players. Lightbourne and Jackson among those who could benefit the most. 

attitude and effort is much better. Agree with @StPaulHusker, tackling still needs to get better if he wants to make it in the league. Several times it looks like he tries to go low with the shoulder rather than initiating contact through the player.

Forced fumbled on saturday with a tackle... as most of us are saying...he is getting better, not perfect.

Congrats!

@NUance, they'd get mad at me. It's a pretty non psychodynamic workplace. Thanks for the support everyone.

When did they start calling clinical trials an "interview"?

Yeah, this was 5 years of graduate school in the making. Have a one year internship I have to complete before they give me the degree though.

What did your dissertation cover?

I did the first randomized clinical trial of a form of therapy. So compared that therapy to a watchful wait list condition. I covered outcomes, differential outcomes, and a mediation analysis.

Huskerzoo, how's Seattle treating you?

It's been a bit rocky, but things are starting to look up a bit if a few things play out the way it sounds like they will. Looking forward to an extended trip to the Midwest. Thanks for asking.

See the pm I sent you.

I admit I'm not watching it at the moment but they're only up by 14 and were given a touchdown in the first half by a terrible call. And before that terrible call their offense was doing next to nothing.

I'm continuing to watch. Indiana just pulled a Nebraska. Down two scores 3rd and 1 from about the 5. Pass on 3rd down incomplete, stuff on 4th. tOSU driving.

Ya I've been watching the past 10 mins. Indiana isn't a team we should overlook, and OSU is beatable.
