  1. Any day the Cyclones and the Wild-kittens lose at home to Sun Belt teams is a good day.

      Maybe not.  Riley beat him.  Dang, I was a fanboy, too.

  3. As the hubby of Gabby Union, Dwyane Wade is going to be in Lincoln.  There are rumors that Lebron might be joining him in Lincoln this week.  Lebron is supposedly a big Ohio State football fan, growing up in Akron.

  5. Average Big Ten teams keep giving Northwestern wins in the turnover game.

      Although Purdue is moving the ball well against the slow Northwestern D. Frost will like this matchup against Northwestern’s D.

      Hasn't that been Northwestern football for the last decade, don't make too many mistakes and let the other team beat themselves?

    3. ColoradoHusk

      ColoradoHusk

      @Judoka you are exactly right.  I guess I give them credit for playing smart, but the media acts like they are a great program.  Are they way better than what they used to be, yes.  But I don't know how "good" they actually are.  Plus, NW's 10-win seasons in 2015 and 2017 were helped by competing against 2 of the worst Nebraska teams in the past 50 years.

  6. Brett Maher is going to be the starting place kicker for the Dallas Cowboys. They cut Dan Bailey. Maher was great at NU, but I never expected he would be in the NFL and Henery wouldn’t. 

  7. Brett Maher is not having a strong training camp for the Cowboys so far.  He might be on thin ice to keep his job for this season.  Kickers can go from great to "bad" so quickly.

      All Bubba makes me think about is this scene ... I don't know if it was him not being a Husker or choosing baseball (snoring ...).

  9. Bubba Starling released by the KC Royals today.  I'm sure he will latch on to another team, and I hope he has a good chunk of that signing bonus left.

      CSU DEFENSE IS HOT GARBAGE. SAT NEXT TO SOME CU FANS AT THE BAR TONIGHT. THEY WERE REALLY PUFFING THEIR CHESTS ABOUT BEATING UP CSU. THEN, UNPROVOKED, ONE OF THEM STARTS RAMBLING ABOUT HATING NEBRASKA, N STANDS FOR KNOWLEDGE, ETC. IT WILL BE NICE TO DESTROY THEIR PUNK ASSES NEXT WEEK.

      The good thing is, CU won’t have a game under their belt when they play us next week. I can’t get over how terribly bad CSU is. Makes it hard to determine what CU might have.

  11. Dang, Severe's show on the OWH is coming to an end.  I"m not surprised, given some cryptic tweets he has sent out recently, but I have enjoyed listening to him.  It sucks the show won't be around for football season.

      I don't doubt that Benning is a good dude, he can just get on the nerves from time to time, especially when he doesn't have someone to help ferry him through a conversation. I kind of feel like he's going to have to be the traffic cop on his new show. 

    3. Minnesota_husker

      @ColoradoHusk Up here in MN, they have 1 show that talks a lot of sports. The morning show does some sports but they are across the board it has made them VERY successful. I found myself getting fairly bored at times with 1620 because the same 4 stories are talked about by all the shows. I get Husker football has to be the driving factor but I think a good mix of shows helps break it up. Have one show that is heavy sports/heavy guests. One show that is more goofy(think Schick and Nick) and one that maybe goes more serious topics(cant get too political). KFAN up here in MN does that and they have some of the most successful shows in every timeslot.

      1620 was at its beak when it had schick/nick and Kugler/Severe. They were very different shows in some aspects but were able to capture their audience.

      Being different is exactly what I appreciate about Josh/John compared to the other two. There show is much more wide ranging, and as I said earlier, though he's not my favorite kind of host, Josh is very good.

  12. Dedrick Mills going with "The Program" move and carrying a football around with him all week.  I appreciate the fact he understands how important ball security is.

      Also inviting anyone to knock it out of his hands.  I hope he doesn't get cramps in his arm.

    2. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      @TonyStallonithat's kind of the point. He's inviting anyone and everyone to knock it out, and he needs to learn to hold onto it. 

       

      Gotta love the determination from the kid. Hope others take ball security just as serious going forward.

  13. Denver news guy Tweeting that Zac Taylor is being considered for the Denver Head Coaching job, and Gary Kubiak would be his OC with Gary's son, Klint (such an unstable name), would be the QB coach.

     

    Sipple also commented that if Taylor does get a HC job, that it's possible he may look for Greg Austin to be his O-line coach.  Not sure if Austin would be interested in leaving Lincoln right now, but that would be a nice gig.

      Zac's games against CU were some of the few bright spots during the Callahan era. However, most Bronco fans are not dedicated CU fans, so they wouldn't care. CU has very few dedicated fans of any sort. Also, Kubiak was not fired, he stepped down a year after winning the Super Bowl. I could see Kubiak coming back if his health has improved, and as a Bronco fan, I would like it.

    3. Atbone95

      Atbone95

      Kubiak wasn't fired, it was all health related. If he's feeling better, I'd take him back in a heart beat. I mean, it's not like he's been gone - he's been in the front office since stepping down.

      I didn't realize Kubiak was still around the Broncos - thanks for the info.

      About 5 seasons ago I found the most amazing Husker shirt ever...It was long sleeve...white...thermal...with Herbie on it and sort of washed out... My dong reached such length that I dare not discuss it...

       

      It arrived at my house...and...it was not white but cream.  I almost cried but I manned up and contacted the place...alas they were here an Omaha and told me to just stop in and exchange it...so I went...it was just a big warehouse and I walked in and found a dude to help me.  He took me to the shelf where the shirts were and guess what...THEY WERE ALL CREAM!

       

      I was so sad...I still wear it but it just isn't the same.

  16. Ed McCaffrey hired as new football coach at Northern Colorado.  It's not a bad choice to try a big name to get local CO kids to stay home instead of going to other FCS programs.

      Good luck in the Big Sky with EWU, the Montana’s, Weber State, and the rotation of pop-up success from other teams. Beau Baldwin going back to the Big Sky doesn’t sit right with me, but he’s gotta do his thing. Ed will have his work cut out for him, I’m genuinely interested in seeing success from someone like him. 

    3. ColoradoHusk

      The local radio guys were commenting that UNC got a more big name and more exciting hire than CSU did.  I know McCaffrey only has high school coaching experience, but this generates more buzz than CSU’s hire did.

  21. How funny is that Kliff Kingsbury will have to resign as USC OC in order to interview for HC jobs in the NFL.  Also, how odd is that Kingsbury can be fired from a middle of the pack Big 12 team, but be hired as a NFL head coach the same season.

      The NFL doesn’t seem to care that much about firings.  How Hue Jackson has a job is beyond me.  Looks like Todd Bowles is going to join the Bucs as dc.  I’m sure there will be more to come.  

  22. How many of you guys like the movie, Rudy?

     

    This was a topic on a radio show this morning, as Saturday Night Live did a spoof of it this past weekend.

      @krc1995 already taught my daughter (5) the palm of your hand in the nose.  Unfortunately a little boy twice her size and age pushed her down and sat on her pinning her down and she taught him what I taught her, there was a parent teacher conference already.  He bled she got in trouble and daddy was proud and informed her she did the right thing.

      @JJ Husker I wasn't gonna go there, but I completely agree. It doesn't excuse the actions of Hunt or Legrone, but the girl was fully aware he invited her over to have sex, and she went to his place anyways, sat on his bed with him, and apparently didn't say no when he started to touch her... I'd be interested to read the full testimony

  24. I drove across Nebraska twice from this past Friday to Sunday. I noticed that Wisconsin drivers are the worst offenders of staying in the left lane of the interstate. So many of those cars I encountered on my travels had Wisconsin license plates.

      I know many Nebraska drivers don't understand the idea of not driving in the fast lane if you want to go under the speed limit. Both in town and on the interstate.

      @RedDenver I find that Colorado drivers tend to have as big as a problem of driving in the left lane as Nebraska drivers do.
