  1. Looking at all the names in the recruiting board reminds me of this:

      that made me LOL... bucktooth and eee eeeeeeee

      haha never seen that before3

  2. I forgot the Huskers played tonight.  Apparently, so did they.

  3. It's gotten to the point where I'm more angry about seeing our fans on social media complain and personally attack the players/coaches after a loss than I am about the actual outcome of the game.

      There are quite a few fans that are out of line and showing their ugly side.  I suspect alcohol is involved in many cases.  Others just live and die with Husker football.

      You should have always been at that point.  The negativity and attacks are completely out of line and they help no one.  This board has become a cancer as well.  Disappointing to say the least, as I live away from the state and this was a nice place to come to talk to like minded folks.

       Losing reveals true character. 

  4. Just got out of surgery to fix my ankle, it was dislocated and broken in three different places.  It's been a rough last few days, but on the plus side, my anesthesiologist was Rob Zatechka.

      Rob is awesome.  He and I talked about the Glory days for several minutes.

       

      For those who are curious, it happened playing disc golf, of all things.  I was out at Seymour Smith after it rained and slipped and fell down a hill.  It wasn't pretty.

      My 11 year old just got into Frisbee golf.  Never thought it as hazardeous.  I guess anything is really.

      My husband tore his Achilles' tendon a few years ago just stepping over a cord on the golf course to retrieve a golf ball! So weird how those things can happen to relatively healthy people!

  5. Kaepernick is now planning to file a grievance against the NFL team owners for collusion since none of them want to sign him.  None of them want to sign me either, for the same reason.

      Actually, I don't pay much attention to the NFL anymore. The whole thing is too business like with a bunch of overpaid prima donnas. I barely make the time to watch my two favorite teams, Broncos and Packers, play every once in awhile. I watched all of about 5 minutes of the Denver game last night. I used to love the NBA and the NFL. I absolutely can't stand the NBA and the NFL does nothing for me. It's no longer a game played for pride.  There is no loyalty to anything except the mighty dollar.  The NHL is the only professional league I like. So I really don't care about Kaepernick or the NFL. And yes, I do think all of them should be more modest with their views. They play a damn game and get paid obscenely well for it. They should be thankful they don't have to really work for a living.

      And I'm not pretending the NFL doesn't put the clamps on controversy when it comes to marketing their product. What responsible business doesn't try to maintain a certain image? I just really don't feel this is anything approaching collusion or even the league putting clamps on controversy. My gut tells me he might be getting a little more opportunity without this issue but I also don't feel it is the thing keeping him off a roster. I sure don't think it's some wide ranging, league mandated blackballing. Maybe the lesson is, if you're a bubble player then you better fly a little straighter and not act like you're indispensable because you are. I would do the exact same thing with hiring decisions in my business. If I had 10 people apply for one job opening and they're all about equal skill and experience but say one has a history of work comp claims, why in the world would I choose the guy that presents a possible liability? That's not collusion, that's just the way life works. It shouldn't shock anybody.

      Yeah...pretending.  

  6. Scott is saying all the right things so far.  It took me a long time to be sold on his loyalty to Nebraska, but I don't have any doubt at this point.

    1. Blackshirtsguru

      Blackshirtsguru

      and he is bringing back the walk on program.  He stated that every Nebraska kid dreams about running out of that tunnel and the fact that kids like this bleed and sacrifice for the team! 

    2. I AM FOOT FOOT

      He definitely looked like he was gonna get emotional a few times,dude bleeds Nebraska.GBR

      I noticed as soon as he was announced you could tell he was holding back the tears.  

  7. Two weeks from today I have my next post-op appointment and am hoping to get the good news that I can start walking again.  It's amazing how easy it is to take something like being able to walk for granted.  I had surgery to repair my shattered ankle just over a month ago, and it's been a long month.

    1. ladyhawke

      Hang in there! I hope you can start putting some weight in that ankle in a couple of weeks!

      Good luck, and give it hell!

      I was in your shoes (pun intended) exactly a year ago.  Good mobility is a precious gift.  Hang in there.

  8. Whatever happens with our coaching situation, I'd love to see Chris Del Conte get the permanent AD job.

      You gotta at least call Greg Byrne and make him say no.  Nebraska can offer more money (shockingly, Alabama is 'only' paying him $900k) plus a chance to bring Nebraska back to glory.  Plus, his dad was the AD here...just spitballing.  I don't blame Del Conte for turning down the Texas job, talk about inmates running the asylum.

    3. schriznoeder

      Maybe Del Conte could bring Patterson with him. Let's make it a package deal!

      I would totally take that, but it sounds so unlikely.

  9. With Mullen going to Florida, I will be absolutely shocked at this point if Frost isn't N.

      Frost has been ours for 2 weeks unless he got swayed.  Looking like a lock now.

      We are having a Frost signing party the evening he signs on the dotted line.. I have a $230 bottle of scotch that we will tap into

      What time?  I'll be right over. :lol:

  10. $EC fans on Facebook are all talking about how weak the B1G is, and a few even threw out the notion that the only reason Nebraska looked so good was that they played a weak opponent. Other than Georgia in one half of football, none of their teams looked that great, but if LSU beating a team they're ranked above already by 4 points makes them feel dominant, more power to 'em I guess.

      That sounds about right.

      I've always been fascinated that if games don't go the way they should in the SEC they rave about how deep they are, but if that happens in another conference, the top teams are not as good as we thought.

    4. ZRod

      ZRod

      Let's just ignore the SEC this year and see what happens.

  11. And yet again, all the Bo Pelini apologists will look at our final record for the year, neglecting the fact that we're beating weak opponents in mostly unimpressive fashion and are getting embarrassed by teams with a pulse. This is the song that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friends...

  12. Any questions about whether or not Kaepernick is the real deal have been answered. Colin is a beast.

      That will be Taylor Martinez in 3 years.

      HuskerShark

      haha i wish that were true, accountability. Unfortunately, Kaepernick is 5 times the passer Taylor can ever hope to be.

  13. Calvin Johnson and the Panthers defense combined for a whopping -2.8 points today. This is definitely not my year for fantasy football...

      I chose Megatron for my one-day league. I know that feel, bro. :(

  14. Confession time: In my 29 years of living, I have been to exactly 0 Husker games. That number will increase by 1 on Saturday. I know, it's just McNeese State, but still... this is something I've been waiting all my life for.

      Get there before the tunnel walk. You definitely dont wanna miss it. Goosebumps, chills and potentially even a teary eye seeing 90k strong all there to support the team you love as they walk onto the field.

      True2tRA

      Congrats man. Soak it in. Walk around and just look at the Sea of Red flowing down the streets. Ate my favorite part is just seeing all that red, and e feeling in the air. Then of course, the tunnel walk is powerful.

    4. deedsker

      You will always remember your first game. Take it in and stay for the whole thing!

  15. Congrats Lady Huskers! What a season!

  16. Damn you Pitt... had a shot at slaying the giant and your kicker choked.

  17. First Huskerboard changes the layout, then Facebook changes the layout. Copycatting?

      Hipster Huskerboard: Changing layouts before Facebook, because it's cool.

  18. For a minute there, I thought I should go on a diet, but then Pizza Hut's hot chocolate brownies happened and I decided dieting just wasn't worth it.

      Our Pizza Hut closed a few months ago....

  19. For once, I can blame my heartburn on something other than too much Mexican food.

  20. From 76 years without a freshman Heisman winner to a freshman winning it two years in a row. Crazy.

  21. From stiffarmtrophy.com: "No fan base will ever be as high-energy as the Nebraska Cornhusker fans were when Ndamakong Suh was a finalist. Seriously." I LOL'ed.

  22. Funny how when Aaron Green left he was an immature traitor for leaving because he wasn't getting PT, yet it's the staff's fault Braylon Heard is leaving for the same reason, even though he'd likely be 2nd string this season. I'm not showing Heard any more love than I showed Green just because he stayed for one more season, sorry.

      Why? Ameer and Heard both played as Freshmen, so did Rex, so did Helu. It's not unreasonable to think that Newby and/or Taylor won't.

    3. QMany

      I couldn't see him being effective with the whole playbook for a while, but I definitely think Newby will be lethal in certain sets. I really like Taylor, too.

    4. Undone

      You have a camp of people that say the groin injury was a smokescreen. But there's no way to be 100% sure. Hard to blame the staff if the groin thing was 100% legit.

  23. Go Stanford. There's nothing else to say.

      does it really matter? I'd like to see them get killed because their fanbase is a bunch of arrogant dicks.

    3. Hammerhead

      Getting crushed by Stanford will shut the Wisconsin fans up. THAT'S what I care about, not how our conference looks. The B1G could have every single team in the top 25, and all people would care about is the SEC.

    4. beanman

      beanman

      true story Hammerhead. SEC has the media hangin' from their nuts

       

  24. Hey Ohio State, is there any chance we could uhhhh, borrow Braxton Miller until the end of the season? I promise we'll give him back...

    1. zoogs

      zoogs

      Or Ezekiel. We're not picky. Help a buddy out. THX!

      I'd be happy with just their fat quarterback. Cadillac Jones or something.
