  1. I find it funny that coaches like Solich, Gill, and even Bo are considered "failures" because they can't "win big" at a Power 5 school. There are 120 FBS head coaching jobs. So these men were among the top 100 at their profession. That seems pretty good to me.
  2. whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? please make that argument....airports aside... Why would airports be aside? That's really the main benefit I would think would be used to argue that it could help recruiting.Yes, but NU has their recruits fly into Omaha. So it wouldn't make a difference by being in Omaha.
  3. Power T, does your friend know that in the old Big 8, the city with the biggest population was Lincoln? Even if that is expanded to include the Texas schools in the former Big 12, only Austin has a larger population. Colleges aren't usually in big cities.
  4. The one thing that I always found funny about schools in big cities like LA, Pittsburgh and Miami is that they play their games in "pro stadiums" that are generally aren't on campus. Only the LA Coliseum is near campus, and that place is a dump. The Rose Bowl is nowhere near UCLA, the same for Miami and their current stadium.
  5. I am pretty much in that opinion in that I want the team to win for the school and the players. I support the coaches because they lead that team. I still "root" for the team/players/coaches, but that doesn't mean I can't have an opinion that the coach should be fired if he isn't doing his job well enough.
  6. Almost all of Nebraska recruits fly into Omaha to begin with. They get picked up by hosts/hostesses and are then driven to Lincoln.
  7. Your friend asked a silly question. College football teams don't need "big cities" to be successful. Most college towns are close to population centers, but also away from big cities. Some college towns that are also in state capitols can grow into big cities (Austin, Madison, Columbus) but most state colleges aren't in the biggest cities of the state.
  8. The play that Gerry got "burned" is a very tough play. He is playing a 2 high safety and has to run all the way out on the WR when the CB blitzes. I am not very down on him for that.
  9. I will always root for Nebraska mainly because they are my alma mater. I am a proud alumni who wants all the athletic programs to succeed. It's just easy that the football program has been highly successful for the last 50 years. My suplort will always be there, but I am sure my interest would decline if we were to have 3 or 4 win seasons.
  10. Is everyone ready for one of the biggest drinking nights of the year tonight?

      It's tradition that I post it to Facebook on this day every year to remind all my old classmates that they're a$$hole$. Or maybe I'm the a-hole. Who knows?

  11. Was that set back like in the 50's? Yeah, the bad boy, Eugene, moved in across the street from Jonathan. Jonathan wanted to bang Kelly Preston's character, while Eugene was trying to hook-up with Bunny. The underrated, Jami Gertz, was in the movie as well. She played a dorky girl, with glasses and braces, but at the end she got her glasses and braces off, and was hot.
  12. I remember the movie, Mischief, which had a regular run on HBO in the mid to late 80s. A young and very hot, Kelly Preston showed her boobs, and there was a quick glimpse of her trimmed bush (pre-shaving days). It was back on HBO a few months ago, and I recorded it on my DVR. It wasn't a great movie, but Kelly Preston's boobs still looked great.
  13. I can't name any specific HBO/Cinemax movies that I watched for the nudity. But, as a kid, I would watch Dream On and First and 10 just for the occasional boob shot that they would have on those shows. They were awful, awful shows, but hey, they showed boobs pretty much every episode.
  14. I am a Husker fan, and I stay a Husker fan because that's what I am. I grew up in a Husker family in the 80s. I attended and graduated UNL in the 90s. I watch every game religiously, even though I moved away from the state in 1999. I try to a game in Lincoln or on the road each year. I am teaching my kids to be Husker fans, even though they will probably never live in the state or attend the school.
  15. What color shirt did Bo wear to his press conference? About to be fired Callahan was my favorite 1620 bit. Time to break out the beige!!!

      Junior, I loved that one!!!

  16. This is my big thought as well. The regular season isn't over yet, and we want Eichorst to come out and make a statement? It wouldn't be fair to anyone if he said anything at this point.
  17. I don't know Eichorst at all, but I think people are making a much out of this right now. Yes, we don't know too much about him, due to his style of "not being out in the open". He could be a big dork, or he could just be a quiet guy. NU had a former AD who was always outside of his office, checking in on his coaches and staff, and most people thought he was being egotistical and meddled where he didn't need to be. Osborne was a former coach, so it was natural for him to be around the coaches at their practice, observing them. Eichorst is a business/administrative guy who prefers to let their coaches do their own thing. I agree that it's concerning if coaches can't get any meeting time with him. But, I think the "assigning" of books, could be taken out of context and the books could be more of "recommendations". Do you think it's wrong for an AD to slip a book about leadership, communication, etc. in a coach's mailbox with a note?
  18. I will never root against the Huskers. I will want them to win. The only thing a loss does is make the "presentation" of Eichorst's decision easier. I say it that way because I hope/think that the decision has already been made by the AD.
  19. Gate 6 looks to be on the West side of the stadium. Honestly, if you don't have a parking pass from the University you won't be able to park "close" to the stadium. All the close parking lots are basically sold by season passes. You can find frats or other parking lots on/near campus that will charge you $10-20 and you will then walk through campus to get to the stadium. I think there are people on here that will park in neighborhoods north of campus, and then use the pedestrian bridge to walk to the stadium. I have always parked on/near campus south of the stadium.
  20. Well you don't know how nice that apartment was though. It could have been like the one the Rock had on the Game Plan! Of course I am sure there is a rich word for apartment that I wouldn't know about!! Loft
  21. In what world should this even be a concern? One of the more repugnant things I've read. Exactly...it is not what the person saying the things feels...it is what the person on the other end feels. Like...when a dude keeps texting a girl over and over and over...he thinks its sweet and he is showing he likes her...she is totally creeped out and thinks that its the second coming of Ted Bundy. Trash Talk: Your team sucks! Not Trash Talk: Hey, you got a pretty wife...I bet she would rather be with a man that has a 12 inch dong hanging between his legs and knows how to use...oh yeah...cute kid too...he can learn to be a real man by watch me...your team sucks. The only time that was acceptable trash talking was when the following was issued by the great, Clubber Lang "Hey, Woman. Hey, Woman! Listen here. Since your old man ain't got no heart, maybe you like to see a real man. I bet you stay up late every night dreamin' you had a real man, don't ya? I'll tell you what. Bring your pretty little self over to my apartment tonight, and I'll show you a real man."
  22. Ok, guys, who had November 11, 2014 as the day that Nebraska football would be compared to Couples Retreat? I didn't think that would happen for another year and a half.
  23. I don't have a problem with people drinking. I have been known to put back a few or 20 before a game. But, to use the excuse of being a "beer society" in Wisconsin for being total a-holes is the crappiest excuse you can use. A drunk a-hole is still an a-hole.
  24. This type of behavior isn't acceptable either. Do you really go out looking for fights? It's one thing to defend yourself if attacked, but to go out looking for fights from opposing fans is idiotic.
