      Crazy, isn't it? The movie about Limbaugh's life will be a comedy. The man is a caricature these days. He puts Stephen Colbert to shame.

      When you read Rush's quotes, do you hear it in Rush-voice? I do. The more idiotic the text, the stronger I hear it in Rush-voice. lol.

  1. alright, Huskerboard, that's enough for me. Here's to a 50 point beatdown on UDub!

  2. Alright, Huskers Volleyball! Big Ten Champs!

  3. And THAT is why Chip Kelly is a great offensive coach. Great call on the shovel pass.

      Of course he's playing to win. He's not playing to lose but it was a lousy decision. It was the 3rd quarter and he was down by 8. If it were the 4th quarter with 2 minutes to go that's a different story. The zone read on 4th down near the goal line, the attempted 'reverse' on the kickoff early in the game which almost turned out to be a disaster. For a game of that magnitude one big gamble is probably too much when your team's only down by a few points.

      I don't like the zone read or the reverse, either. But the fake punt worked great, as did the early 2 point conversion (which is the only reason they were able to tie the game up). You can blame the loss on Chip Kelly's gambles, but without them, it wouldn't have even been that close. You can't point at any number of reasons Oregon lost this game - interceptions, the safety, crappy pass defense, dumb luck for Auburn... but not much of it do I think you can really pin on Chip K...

      Sometimes gambles work Herc and I see your point but I'm in the school of you can only gamble so much and expect to win. More than one big gamble in a game like this?

       

      Good luck.

       

      And your right, Oregon's pass defense was pretty lousy tonight to say the least.

  4. and there's the old toothless NCAA we've all learned to hate.

  5. Any article that includes the phrase, "Tom Osborne was the balls," is worth a read. http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2013/6/17/4425452/nebraska-football-dynasty-sec-record

      No, Ron Burgandy is the Tom Osborne of broadcasters.

      Just got around to reading the article. Great read!

  6. Anybody else listen to the Husker Prayer talk on Benning/Sharp Friday morning?

      Since the Callahan era, the team has been saying "until we can't be beat, won't be beat." I guess the correct version is "the team that can't be beat, won't be beat." Benning and Foreman were pissed.

      I always thought huskerboard was doing it wrong based on our high school coach, who played for NU, said "the team" and I figured he of anyone would know the prayer. "Until" just sounds awful

    4. iowahusker09

      iowahusker09

      Benning seemed more pissed that the public knew the prayer. He seemed to think it was for husker ears only

  7. Apparently Chip Brown tweeted that Bubba signed with KC, and then took the tweet down, lol.

      It will be true...not that he would ever know.

      Because he realized after the fact that Dodds didn't tell him to tweet it.

  8. At least Martinez's ball security is better than Mike Vick's... sheesh.

    1. NUance

      NUance

      Vick alternates between awesome and terrible. Sometimes from one play to the next.

  9. Aww come on. NEBRASKA wasn't playing for the natty in 1992... can't you let us off the hook for that shutout, espn?

      With ESPN, Herby and the rest...never. If it doesn't involve invented words like 'trickeration' or the SEC its crap.

      I really wish that we could win a National title. I hope Nebraska wins one in my lifetime. I'm 21 hope I live long enough to see one.

      Already won 3 in your lifetime....

      Dear God, I know better than to run with a ball like that.

  11. Baylor just went up 30-19 on Texas in the 4th quarter. I'm torn between anger that we lost to them and glee that UT is suffering.

  12. Cody Green has never lost a game as a starter. I don't care what kind of flawed logic went into that statement, START CODY next week!!!

  14. Completely overshadowed by Kenny Bell's block was the fact that Jamal Turner split 3 defenders to get into the endzone. I love our skill position players.

      I told my buddy sitting next to me in the stadium it just ruined Jamals breakout play

      Paul Crewe opened my eyes to a few things tonight as he told me that the Wide Receivers play this year masked our problems pass blocking along the OL.

      That's a great point EZ.

  15. Congrats to Wisconsin, 2012 Leaders Division champs!

      What, Bo Pelini's Nittany Lions can't compete?

  16. Devin Gardner threw 2 interceptions in the first half? Hmm...

    1. Michiganball

      Michiganball

      Yea, that makes me a bit nervous, though he's been gold in the second.

  17. Did Raging Pelini kidnap all the mods or something?

      Somebody already deleted all his threads. I was gonna post a You Mad pic in all of them.

  18. Discovered "Firefly" about a year ago. Since, then, I've gotten hooked on "Buffy," "Angel," and "Dollhouse." They should let Joss Whedon write all the television.

      Never seen Firefly. I've heard it's awesome. Used to love Angel.

      Firefly is great!

  19. Ed Cunningham is ruining this VaTech-Clemson game for me.

  20. Esperanza Spalding beats Justin Bieber for Best New Artist? There may be hope for America yet...

      Justin Bieber (and his fans) apparently thought he would win simply because he sold a lot of records. The award goes to the best new artist, not the new artist who sells the most records.

  21. Feeling much better about the Michigan State game next week. Talk about overrated...

      The game is basically over. Wisconsin can just sit in a soft zone defense the rest of the game, not give up any plays, and MSU has shown no sign of being able to stop the run.

    3. Hercules

      I definitely didn't speak too soon...

    4. Atbone95

      Michigan State is winning...?

  22. Geesh... For everyone who thought Nebraska was bad running the option, watch LSU... yikes.

    1. Treand3

      Treand3

      This and field goals are about the only thing we do better than them.

  23. Getting completely outcoached. Nothing surprising about what Nebraska has done so far, and Wisconsin has shocked Nebraska in about 10 different ways. Why is it that every single game, Nebraska comes out looking confused while the other team goes on the offensive?
