  1. I think the Saban stuff puts an interesting spin on the Nebraska situation. We need a lights out QB for this team. Leaning heavily on an outstanding RB only goes so far.

      I don't think people realize this Shark. You can win championship with a mediocre QB and even RB. But if you don't have a line, you won't win sh#t.

      Case in point, Nebraska the last umpteen years.

      TA did not let Stave pass for over 300 yds or make our hand off run game and return games average. This team's problems do not start and end at the QB position.

  2. Worked almost every weekend last month to save up some extra money and get settled. This month had enough unexpected expenses that it neutralized all the extra work I did last month. That stuffs depressing.

      What NUance said. I was swamped with bills earlier this year, seemed like I couldn't save a thing.. now I'm slowly building up my savings. My personal advice is to have an automatic transfer to a savings account setup. That way you never see the money to spend it in the first place. Indo 200 bucks a week, minimum right now.

      My wife HATES thaat I spend so much on paying off our credit cards. Doesn't grasp that minimum payments do jack squat.

      I think everyone is supportive of the program, and most supportive of the players. This recruit is smart. He committed to the school and the program. Not the coaches. If your good enough and work hard you'll play no matter who the coach is(excluding Cavanaugh of course).

      Like it or not, most recruits commit to the coach. He's the face of the program, for them. He's most likely the one that will be leading them for the duration of their time at the school. The program (including the fans) is still a huge selling point. What's dangerous is one side of that equation is dissatisfied with the other and begins to crap on them to players or recruits. We've seen too much of that the last few years and I hope that garbage goes away and never comes back.

      IDK, if I was Wilbon, I certainly would feel jilted and overlooked. Of course that goes for virtually any of our RB's not named Newby.

      And coach said after spring ball no on was leaving the team then like 10 people left.

      For some reason many media people have suggested that Wilbon's situation was self-induced.

  6. Been having a rough weekend. The riots in Milwaukee are about 5 blocks from my mom's house. Given that they're race based and my mom's a while woman in a predominantly black neighborhood. I don't think anything will happen, but it freaks me out.

      Oh yes. Lived in an apartment for 6+years saving and planning our dream home. Broke ground in May and now the area is underwater- everything but our 1/2 built house. It's high and dry- just can't get to it. Had a rockin canoe party in the middle of the street trying to help our neighbors evacuate. Talk about Cajun style!

  7. Won free concerts to see a concert I was super pumped about 3 weeks ago. Thought the concert was the upcoming Sunday. It was last Sunday. Poop

      Had it as will call. In my mind it was the last Sunday in Feb which translated to this week. I totally goofed and take full ownership. I'm just upset.

  8. So is the game plan to just pick fights with each other while bored in the off season? If so, I'd like to publicly say that Knapplc smells and Mavric continues to eat boogers.

  9. Sometimes I think we should have three forums. One for the crowd that wants to stay positive, one for those who just want to complain and a third where they can intermingle. I get so burned out dealing with people who don't want to hear other viewpoints.

      @RunMickeyRun02 I agree. For me it's the intolerance of other opinions that drives me nuts. The thought that you must be an idiot to think differently than I do.  I like discussion, I like talking to people who think nothing good is coming from Riley, but I also want to have room for my experiences and opinion. 


      @ZRod The internet is no place for reality.

      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.
