  1. I thought it was part of the footing for the building. Big building needs a big base. But sewer...interesting.
  2. No all-whites. Ever again. No all-reds. Ever again. Those experiments didn't work. NO BLACK OF ANY KIND, EVER. We're Nebraska, not Oregon.
  3. Don't forget the Milwaukee Bucks! lol... Seriously, he's got no idea what the Husker football team is to the state of Nebraska. Not even in the slightest.
  4. I mean the area around the stadium and downtown is basically one gigantic tailgate...the super rich prissy types tailgate at the champions center on stadium drive, but I wouldn't call what they're doing "tailgating" ...The lot east of the stadium is usually full, and any parking area downtown is usually filled with tailgaters.
  5. Books can be preordered from the bookstore. The bookstore will then box up all your books for you and you simply need to go in and pick them up. When you preorder, you can select which books you want, whether it is just the required books or both the required and the recommended books too. I am guessing that the athletic department or someone responsible for advising the student athletes preorders their books for them, and was ordering them the recommended as well.
  6. Hey, at least A&M is portrayed accurately. Link
  7. Conversely, the fact that we need to talk about it is proof that we still aren't over them. Hey, I wasn't the one that started the thread.
  8. The fact that the article was written simply gives us more proof that the Big 12 still isn't over us breaking up with them.
  9. They changed the name to "Tunnel Walk" but the video still just shows the horseshoe. So they gave a half-assed attempt at fixing it I guess.
  10. I vote that we adopt this rule: You post a BR article here, you get banned.
  11. Who cares bout Texas, we moved on to the Big 10 and we don't have to complain about them anymore, remember?
  12. Beebe still a little butthurt that he lost one of his premiere institutions I see. He's just going to have to live with it.
  13. Pretty sure that when the new east upper deck is done the students will just be exiled there. Athletic department, blue-hairs, and boosters all hate the rowdy, disrespectful, student section shenanigans.
  14. False. This was not the students' idea, and that name was never applied by anyone. In '08, the athletic department gave out a black t-shirt with the student tickets. Maybe half wore it to games, the other half wore the traditional red, which made the student section look like this weird black and red spotted mess. It was just a bad idea by the athletic department that resulted in that debacle.
  15. Yeah, this is a no-brainer for Bubba. Millions to play a safer sport in your home state, or come here and play football for free. He's gone.
  16. It is probably ten times more likely that Urban Meyer gets the OSU job than Bo Pelini getting it
  17. God damn. Alex, he definitely does alright for himself. Congrats to him!
  18. I know that. It was just very interesting to see the actual foundation itself, and was pointing that fact out so that people would see what was going on in that 2nd pic
  19. Got any statistics or anything at all to back that up, or are you just talking out of your butt? I can't think of a team sport position that has fewer sudden starts and stops than a baseball outfielder. Statistics? No. Common sense? Yes. Constant was the wrong word on my part, sorry, but you kind of proved my point with your second statement. An outfielder is standing around letting his muscles cool down for an extended amount of time. Then all of a sudden he has to make quick explosive, movements such as sprinting and throwing. Which puts you at greater risk for strains, pulls, tears, ect.. In football, basketball, soccer, ect. you're moving around more so your muscles stay loose and warm. This is pretty insane, really. There is no more of a stop and start sport than football. It is a guarantee that you stop for around 30 seconds between plays, but then you are on the sidelines between offensive or defensive series, there are special teams players that see the field only 5 or 10 times a game, and many times, different packages are subbed in and out and formations are used. It really isn't that big of an issue in baseball; an outfielder might see one or two hits a game where they actually have to run. Baserunning, now that is stressful, running in a circle. Not. Baseball can be dangerous, no doubt about it. Stuff happens all the time. But when you add in the fact that football is start-and-stop AND full-speed, all-out contact on every play, that is where the difference is. If Bubba really wants to have the best future he can have, he should go straight to pro baseball, unfortunately. Baseball players have much longer careers than football players and are much healthier afterwards. And VA Husker Fan's point was that yes, outfielders have starts and stops. But they are few and far between. They also involve running purely in a straight line as opposed to cutting, spinning, juking, and getting drilled by a 240-lb linebacker.
  20. Snapped a couple photos while walking by the stadium after I got off work. Tearing it up pretty good right now. The 2nd photo is really interesting, they dug down next to the stadium and the old foundation goes underground probably at least 8-10 feet if not more
  21. It sucks to wake up at 7:30, hung over, to try and get buzzed again for the game
  22. You can't flip it around. Each sport has its dangers, but there is no question which game results in fewer injuries and long-term damage to your body and brain. Most baseball surgeries are minor stuff. Baseball injuries are usally muscle pulls and the like, or at most, tommy john type surgeries. Football injuries are head injuries, broken bones, or entire joints getting shredded. (Obviously there are exceptions but in general this is the case...)
