  1. Why don't these idiot loyal players who we constantly insult understand it's not us vs them. Morons.

      Perhaps I should remove the sarcasm. What I'm trying to say is there's so much vitriol on the board, then we get angry when players don't identify with us as fans. If I were a player I'd feel like I'd have to push back against fans.

      Nah. You might have to defend yourself against a few dumbasses. But twitter is just Internet bullsh#t. The fans that love ya come sit their butts in the seats every Saturday. If they didn't love ya, they wouldn't pay to do it. Focus on those good ones. Not the few pissants. But I can't blame em...their former HC had this same attitude.

      I suppose. I guess I also look at it as if someone saying something nasty about someone you care about. It gets me super defensive.

  2. Just accepted a post-doc at the University of Washington.

      Try Nebraska football ticket or Husker ticket exchange on Facebook. That's where I was directed to for MSU tix, but ended up buying a couple outside the stadium. Might be harder for this game.

      Yeah the stuff on husker ticket exchange on facebook is way over face value which I don't have right now. We'll see how it plays out.

      I'm very new to it. I use it for text classification.

       

      For stats in general I recommend R. I believe SPSS is decreasing in popularity. I use Python for text classification.

      We got married in the CO mountains.  We then had an informal party in my hometown and our current home (her hometown) for friends/family to celebrate.  For both parties, we rented out a pavilion at a park and had BBQ catered and coolers of beer.  It worked great!

      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. 

  15. Changed spark plugs for the first time in my life.

      I didn't know you had to gap the spark plugs the first time I did it.  The car was running funnier than before.

    3. NUance

      Sometimes you can just clean and gap them without changing the plugs.  I used to do that in high school, to save a few bucks.  But now, if I'm gonna go to the effort of pulling the plugs out I just put new ones in.  Plugs really don't cost too much. 

    4. ZRod

      ZRod

      Tried to change plugs on my old V6 96 Camaro. Could only get 4 of them changed. Had to take it in for the other 2 because they were burried behind the exhaust manifold. My friend with smaller hands and I tried for hours to get them out with no luck. Plugs and wires are the easiest thing ever as long as the engineers gave you room to do it.

  16. Sunken gardens were insanely hot but a great place to get married.

      I'm an assistant professor as well, so I am asking to gain some perspective. What puts you on the job market after a year or so? I was approached by a department chair from another university to send in an application for a new position, but I turned it down because I was in year 2 of my job and thought I need more time to lay roots somewhere.

    3. Huskerzoo

      Huskerzoo

      @Thanks_Tom RR two reasons. The first is that I got married to someone who is also looking for a position in academia. My school initially talked about a position opening up a year from now and could point to a lot of reasons why that needed to happen. At some point last year, the narrative changed to maybe in three years when the chair retires. I'm not thrilled about the idea of living away from my wife for another 2 years on top of this one.

       

      The second reason is the research infrastructure. Our IRB is terrible and our masters program isn't as research focused as I was led to believe. It means that I can't run a good chunk of my research agenda, the part that I'm most passionate about, very easily.  I very much would've preferred to not move again. 

    4. Thanks_Tom RR

      Thanks_Tom RR

      I can commiserate about a university overselling a bit during the hiring process. Right now, I feel that the institutional support for me is weaker than I would have liked, but what keeps me settled at the moment in my current job is several strong, supportive colleagues.

       

      Family matters was a BIG reason that I accepted this job in my current location, so I can also understand your wish to improve your home/work balance.

       

      Good luck with the search.

      Their training is interesting too. I don't think it would make sense as a lay person, but as someone in the field the choices are curious. Three MD's on staff and one person with a counseling psych degree. MD's get very limited exposure to behavioral interventions and tend to focus on medications. Counseling psych can be pretty hit or miss, don't have time to look at her background in detail. I'm sure the staff trust who they have, but it's always a curious thing f...
