  1. The Houston Astros' press conference was horrendous; basically a PR lesson in what not to do. The owner literally got caught lying. Watch the clip.

      No offense, and I like most things you post, but that is a garbage take.  Signs given by the catcher shouldn't have to be over complicated.   They use multiple signs with a runner on 2nd because that runner has a good view of the catcher.  In every other situation, there should be no reason to worry about your signs getting stolen, they are just used so the batter doesn't know what's coming.  Have you seen how painfully slow the game gets when a catcher has to start using multiple signs with a runner on base?  If so many people are worried about speeding the game up, we can not be having a catcher giving multiple signs on every single pitch just because the opposing team might have a camera set on him.

  2. No more tip-toeing around this.  I'm just going to say it...the tunnel walk sucked this year and expectations were set pretty low after last year's version.

      I loved the red light effect, but that was usually in between the 3rd and 4th quarters wasn't it?  Also, why didn't they do that in the Iowa game?

      Or does the on field performance not hit the mark because there's not enough swagger?  The world may never know.

  4. KC Strip or NY Strip?

    1. STL Husker

      STL Husker

      NY strip.  There is little to no evidence that the bone actually gives the meat more flavor so why pay for part of the cow that you can't eat. I'd rather replace the weight of the bone with actual meat.  A boneless steak also cooks much more evenly than a bone-in cut.

  5. Cardinals front office is such a joke.

    1. STL Husker

      STL Husker

      We gotta hang on to those top prospects.  Where would we be if we didn't hang on to Alex Reyes, Marco Gonzalezs, Oscar Tavaras, Shelby Miller, and Colby Rasmus?  So glad our front office decided to hang on to prospects instead of getting proven MLB talent.

  6. Man what Erstad did to Michigan is more amazing by the win.

    1. STL Husker

      STL Husker

      Michigan is 50-21 and Nebraska is 32-24.  Baseball isn't like every other sport.  The worst team in the league can beat the best team on any given night, but that's why they play 3 game series.  You can't just look at one game or one series and make any general conclusions.  Long Beach St. managed to go 1-0 against Michigan, but they finished 14-41. I think we would both agree that their one win doesn't make any big overall statement about the Long Beach program.  This is why people say "it's baseball".

      I think alot of it had to do with how Michigan was playing at the time.  They were in the middle of a 2-6 stretch.

  8. Gif or Jif?

      Any sort of logic tells you that its a hard G, however the inventor of the gif says that it should be pronounced with a J sound.

  9. Any HB members subscribe to The Athletic?  If so, what are your thoughts?  Thinking about pulling the trigger next time they run a big sign up sale.

      Even with Sherman there are only a couple of articles a week.  Unless you follow multiple teams, I don't think it's worth it.  I follow the Cardinals, Blues, and Huskers, and I still don't think I'm going to renew.  The articles are very in depth though.

  10. Oof. UNO drew UCLA in the tourney. Number one overall seed. Ouch.

    1. STL Husker

      STL Husker

      UNO was going to have a hard time advancing regardless of their regional.  Might as well get the attention while facing the top overall seed.

  11. Omaha is getting a soccer team

     

     

    1. STL Husker

      STL Husker

      This is like the equivalent of a 'AA' or 'A' baseball team.  The Storm Chasers are closer to the big leagues than a USL team.  I remember when St. Louis got a team and it took me a while to realize that this wasn't the MLS, but it's still $20-$30 a ticket.

      I still have to imagine.  I don't watch much JUCO, Seattle, or FGCU basketball to know if these new guys are good enough to replace what we lost.  I have high hopes but I still wear a cup after getting repeatedly kicked in the nuts by Nebrasketball.

  13. What Randy Gregory did isn't half as bad as what Robert Kraft did.

    1. STL Husker

      STL Husker

      I agree with Danimal.  I honestly don't see much of a difference between a massage and a sexual encounter as long as both participants are willing.  I also don't personally have a problem with anyone smoking weed.  However, neither is allowed and Randy has been given multiple chances.  I have a hard time believing people when they say it's not addictive when I see someone like RG throw away a career for it.

    Goldschmidt to Cardinals

    What a glorious day!

      Yeah, we had to deal one of those arms, I just hope we will be able to re-sign Goldschmidt.

      I'm not a big fan of giving up Weaver for 1 year of Goldy, but I'll take it since we also get Wandale for 4 years.

  16.  So last night I was watching Monday Night Raw with my 11 year old son. And Brock Lesnar is on and he gives a grin and I realized that Brock Lesnar and Scott Frost actually look quite a bit a like

    1. STL Husker

      STL Husker

      I actually watched that 5 minute segment of raw for the first time in about 10 years and I thought the exact same thing.  If Frost got jacked, they would look very similar.

  17. According to this article, someone was awfully sure Frost was going to coach the Gators.  :laughpound https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-football/scott-frost-heir-apparent-florida-nebraska-tennessee/

      To be honest, I was very concerned he wasn't coming here for all the same reasons that article pointed out.  That was without the SEC bias that this site obviously has.  Rationally, it made a lot of sense for him to stay in Florida which makes me that much more thankful he is here.

    Once Upon A Child

     

    Is it a second hand store for kids stuff or a support group for pedos?

  19. I'm getting the sense that our 0-fer record is almost a badge of pride for the fans.  It means more than just winning and losing.

      STL Husker

      Well maybe it's just me, but I'm proud of the guys who stuck around when it would have been easy to quit like a couple other players.  I was expecting more guys to transfer out after week 4 but they stuck it out.  I also don't know of many other fan bases that would fill 50% of an opposing team's stadium.  This is the first time that I feel like the players and coaches feel as frustrated as I do.  That makes me feel better about the team.

      With a $150 price increase, I don't see a reason to get the 3.  All the features seem to be coming to the 2 anyway, so I am getting that.

      Well consider me fan #2.  I'm just hoping they don't jack the price up like the rumors are suggesting.  My OG pixel just died last night.  I think that's a sign.

  22. I kept hearing how UCF didn't have any soft tissue injuries last season, but somehow we get one in the first game to our most important player. Frost has to overcome some serious bad mojo.

      @ScottyIce Are there many knee injuries that aren't soft tissue injuries?
