  1. Any input where to find 4 tickets for this weekend? So many scammers these days and Seat Geek makes you spend an extra $37/ticket for "fees"

    1. BigRedBuster

      BigRedBuster

      Football or Volleyball?  :D

       

      Unfortunately, if you don't know someone personally with tickets, sites like seatgeek are your best bet to make sure you're not being scammed.

      Honestly, looking at the prices on there, even with the fees, it's not bad.  There's some for $16 in the corner or roughly $30 at the 30-35 yard line.

       

      Volleyball...on the other hand......

  2. 2023 @ Colorado ....is this game for sure Sep 9th next year? I see a few conflicting schedules out there. 

    1. Mavric

      That's what it says on Huskers.com, so I would think that's still the story.

       

      Colorado has them playing TCU on the 2nd, us on the 9th and Colorado State on the 16th.  

  3. Why can I not upload a screen shot to a post? It says file is too large

    1. Toe

      Because the file is too large? :dunno

      Seems OK for me, maybe don't save it in BMP format? Or maybe you've exceeded the total amount you can upload?

      ^ That was two copies of the same screenshot, one in JPEG and one in PNG.

       

      If you're on a super high-res phone and trying to save an un-resized screenshot, those can be pretty huge.

  4. 7 techs handed out last night in Newton, NE for a HS bball game? How is that possible?

      It happened towards the end of a high school BB game I was playing in.  At the time the score was pretty close and we ended up losing.  But by more than a couple points, so it's not like it cost us the game I guess.  btw, The guy had been drinking.  A lot apparently.  lol

      I spend a lot more time on my phone than I want. I have huge monitors on my PC. I hate browsing the web on my phone's tiny screen. My tablet is better, but still too small.

       

      Also, mobile versions of websites are uglier than desktop versions. And I hate the mobile-friendly fonts and big kludgy ganky layouts they use.

      If your group enjoys cigars, you gotta check out Havana Garage, really cool spot and they have a sneaky good patio in the back.

       

      Mister Toads probably has the best patio downtown if that's your bag.

       

      Upstream is a decent space and they have pool tables.

       

      My favorite place downtown is La Buvette, it's a smaller space with seating for maybe 30 people inside but they have a decent patio out front and it's an awesome spot for wine.  Service can be a bit prickly but that's just the way it is there.

      @HuskerInLostWagesAnd his sister committed to UGA after the incident, which by the way, was not experienced by Fields- he only heard that it had happened. That’s why I say kids now have a template- just claim you heard a racial slur was spoken somewhere on campus, by someone, at sometime 

    3. NoKoolAidForME

      NoKoolAidForME

      No one knows what the reason was for the transfer.  The school also granted him an uncontested release. To make assumptions and treat them as facts IMO is irresponsible.

      The reason he and his attorney filed for a waiver against the sit out rule is in fact known.

      What WR's in the B1G are better, or really even close? Pretty sure we didn't play against any. That's some BS right there 

    3. ZRod

      ZRod

      I don't think anyone had a better receiver combo in the B1G than us. We may have been pretty high nationally as well. I can only remember Stan dropping one or two passes he should have caught this year.

    4. TonyStalloni

      TonyStalloni

      The coaches poll picked Rondale Moore (Purdue) and Parris Campbell (OSU) while the media poll chose Moore as well and also Tyler Johnson of Minnesota. Neither Moore nor Campbell were the prime receivers when we played them but Johnson burned us for 184 yards on 11 catches.

      That's more an indictment of Michigan's offense against our (surprisingly good with lots of potential to be great at season's end) defense than it is anything else IMO. Their O-Line is trash and play-calling has been suspect for years, and their skill players rattle easily. 

       

      If we punch them in the mouth (metaphorically, of course) and put them on their heels, we have a puncher's chance of winning this.

      I'm guessing 2AM playing would move the line more than 1 or 1.5 points. If not. I really don't know what I'm (or Vegas is) doing.

    4. krc1995

      krc1995

      The only reason the lines is dropping is because more people bet Nebraska than Michigan that’s how Vegas works. Smart bettors would pay attention to what the line does. 

  14. Are they ever going to upgrade South stadium?

      Pretty sure that's all it will be.  Don't know how they could do a major renovation.

    3. Red Five

      There are blueprints for a south stadium "reconstruction", but I am not sure when/if it will ever happen.  I posted about it in some thread a couple years ago.

       

      Found what I posted in couple years ago -> 

       

    4. Mavric

      Mavric

      I think - if there was going to be a major renovation - that it would be something along those lines.  I just don't see how they would ever be able to handle the logistics of something like that.  They'd basically have to completely demolish the existing South Stadium and start over.  And I don't think that's possible in nine months from December through August.  So you'd be without the entire South Stadium for (at least) one football season.  Which is going to make a lot of people very upset.  And there would be fewer seats - though more high-dollar seats - but I'm not sure that it would be worth that much money and time to do.

      @ScottyIce is correct. All of the pants stripes will be used on the alternate uniforms which will be ENTIRELY stripes

      This staff is underpaid yet people think it would be unfair to pay athletes because they get a free education.  

    4. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      I don't think it's an issue of being fair or not. Of course without the players the CFB cash cow would dry up for a lot of programs. But, I think the issue is if we're going to treat it like an amateur sport or if it's going to be a paid professional gig. I don't really care but we've already got the NFL (which I like much less than CFB) so I'd rather it stay amatuer student athletes. If a $45,000 per year education isn't good enough for the players then they can choose to do something else.

      For any kids who commit and sign LOI's, they should be able to leave upon the coach being fired or leaving for another school. Not saying all players but any that have not participated in a practice or maybe within a grace period from signing day.  No reason a player should get the shaft by committing to one coach and style and then a week later find out that coach is gone.  

    3. NUance

      NUance

      It might be best for the players to stick around and see who's next.  I mean, how many will play as true freshmen next fall and lose eligibility?  They'll be able to transfer next year if they want, so long as they don't play in game.  

      OTOH, Arizona sucks. Who can we steal? 

    4. BIG ERN

      I'd think the school would still let them sign elsewhere if they chose to do that. Still have a month to look around 

  21. There are 130 D1 football teams. About 70 of those teams have no chance at the CFB Playoff. 70....70!!! That's an issue

  23. Utah has won 14 of their last 15 bowl games...

  25. Trent Bray is the most overrated assistant on this staff. Not worst, but most overrated. LB's are garbage the pat 3 years 

    1. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      Bray being named interim won't mean much in the long run.  He's probably just being kept for the next 7-10 days as a point of contact for recruits.

    2. ZRod

      ZRod

      Think about what he had to work with when he came in. LB position was pretty bare.

    3. HuskermanMike

      HuskermanMike

      Trent Bray is younger and he can connect with the players well. He has been here three years and has a connection with Moos. This is why he is the interim, and he will be an interim for only a short amount of time.
