  1. Any dirt bike riders on here?  My son wants one and he found one he likes but it has an auto transmission on it.  I grew up on dirt bikes but know nothing about these new auto transmissions on them.  Are they good? Bad?

     

    Thanks

      I have a friend that got his kid a Honda 110 that is a 3 speed, no clutch.  He still shifts but it is a "power shift".  They are going to upgrade to a 125 with clutch and all.

       

      I had a yz250 growing up and learned to shift after I got decent at riding.  I kinda want my kid to be the same but its his choice I guess as he is buying it.

      I think it's an excellent way to get people riding, not as easy as the true auto Honda's but more low end for sure. The only issue I could see is out growing it quickly and being ready to move on to a clutched bike .

      That is what they are going through.  The bike is only a year old and he got to advanced for it.  

       

      Thanks for the input.  I appreciate it

      My brother and I both made an audible, "Holy $%$#" when we saw the news yesterday.  Terrible news.  Prayers to all that were affected by the tragedy.

      Hopefully they have tape and a straight jacket ready.

  5. Ben Cotton joined the ND staff as a GA working with the OL.  Congrats!!!

      Congrats to Ben.  I always thought he was the best player of the Cotton brothers.  College coaches can make a ton of $ and it can be fun coaching a game, but the long hours and nomadic lifestyle has to be hard on their families.

  6. Did Romo spill the beans on something?  Have seen numerous things about Romo scripting the plays before they happened.

      He just knows what they are going to run by using motion, reading the defense, and audibling. The guy did it for years, its not a big secret if you know football and study tape. What blows me away is how KC couldnt figure it out.

    3. The Dude

      It seems like he's actually toned down calling out the plays pre-snap this season.

      He needs a Jean jacket as well. 

  8. Got a walk-on commit from Cade McCormack this morning.

     

    This is a really good pickup for us.

      Man. I knew these kids would begin to flock back to NU and pass on scholarships, I just didn’t think it would happen so quickly. This is great.

      That's a hellava pickup indeed.  Those poor Dakota schools are in for a bit of a rough patch.

  9. Georgia came to play.  This might throw a wrench in the playoffs.

      Conference Championships are kind of a joke. Look at the PAC12, ACC, and BIG10 championship games...

      What about them? Sorry the other 4 power 5 didn't get the SEC bias of having both division winners ranked inside the top 5.

      Georgia played Bama tougher than any other team. I’m happy they won’t both be in the playoffs, but Georgia doesn’t seem overrated. 

  10. Cheers HB...Awesome rivalry weekend.

  11. This sounds chappy but one of my favorite parts of the game Friday and my new respect for Iowa was the waving to the children in the hospital. Talking with Iowa fans,  that is the reason they havent expanded the stadium on that side.  They are expanding on the North side though and adding another big video board to mirror the South side. 

    1. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Yeah, that is a cool thing they do. I don't like them, at all, but ya gotta respect how the team conducts it's business and give them credit for the Children's hospital thing.

      I love this! I admire this program as it means so much to the patients, especially the little ones.

      Iowa football is okie dokie. Iowa fans are terrible.

  12. Im watching a California HS game and Centennial ran a zone read.  The RB got lit up right off the bat but the QB kept the ball and scored a 60+ yard TD but the refs blew the play dead as soon as the RB got tackled.

      @Stumpy1 In college, any part of the body for either wrestler is in-bounds. For HS, it has to be body parts that are carrying one of the wrestlers body weight.

       

      What you described would be in-bounds for college but out for HS.

    3. Stumpy1

      Stumpy1

      Its that way in HS also.  You can score a takedown and backpoints if the opponent is OB but you still have 2 anchor points in bounds.  The rules changed last year.  

       

       

    4. Thanks_Tom RR

      Thanks_Tom RR

      Right now. I will have to read through the new rules.

  13. Mo Barry not a fan of the alternative  jerseys. 

     

    Reporter:  What do you like about the alternatives for this weekend?

     

    Mo:  I like the black cleats.

  14. Laura Rutledge is sure easy on the eyes. 

  15. It's pathetic when u cant even tackle in football anymore without getting a flag. 

  16. The B1G needs to do something about the officals.  The targeting call against tOSU was complete bulls#!t.

      I don't like to see guys knocked out, but receivers do assume some risk for playing a very physical game at high speed.  Like stuff just happens sometimes.  

    3. krc1995

      krc1995

      JJ- no head to head contact but they ruled that the receiver was defenseless. He caught the ball on the corner with two guys converging, as he turned up field, one of the OSU players shoulder pad made some contact with the receivers helmet.  The receiver was apparently knocked out as he laid on the field for awhile and needed help off and  kudos to him for hanging on to the ball in his unconscious state.  It was reviewed and the call upheld and the corner was ejected.  I thought he hit his head on the turf.

      So, it was much closer to being an actual penalty that may have really occurred than our roughing the QB :D

  17. Redux does a GREAT job of handling beans!!!  Thumbs up!!!

      I really wish I could get over my disdain for Texas since we moved conferences, but I can't.  Way to go Terps!!!

      That's not selfish, that's ours. It'd be like another team chanting HUSKER-POWER.

      It always annoyed me when Dez Bryant did it.

  20. Was reading an Oregon State message board and one of the posters mentioned Scott Frost as being OSU's best recruiter...made me chuckle.

    1. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      So, our rejects are their best recruiting prospects. Says a little something about Riley and OSU. And that Frost won’t settle for mediocrity.

      Mike Riley sighting.  He looks much better in OSU gear than Nebraska gear.

      @4skers89 Mike Riley looks better in pretty much anything but Nebraska gear.

      Hate to say it but if they ever get a decent QB,  they could be very dangerous. 

    4. HuskerInLostWages

      HuskerInLostWages

      They wont.  Other than Wilson, QB's go there to die.

  22. My neighbor lady, who is 83, was getting stuff out to mow and i walked over to ask if she would like me to help her.  Her response:  Oh honey, im not in a wheelchair yet.  I can take care of it. 

     

    She is an awesome woman.  Always love talking to her.

      @HS_Coach_C don't  you love work problems? Especially when students think it should be the average of the two times.

      HS_Coach_C

      @huKSer I know it's funny when they want to average them or add them together.  They may not know how to get the right answer, but a little common sense would tell them those are wrong.

      It would be fun to see some NU/Okla games on BTN instead of the same 3 or 4 they show now. Could possibly lead to OU doing some more investigating into the BIG. I guess we'll see.

    3. krc1995

      I wonder if these networks could actually own their own conferences.  In a way I guess they do

    4. BOJ

      BOJ

      ^Its actually the other way around (at least in the B1G). The conference schools own the network. Although Fox now owns 51% of the network, it started as wholly owned by the schools. So Nebraska currently owns some portion of that 49% of the network.

  23. If you havent yet, give the band Blacktop Mojo a listen.  They do great covers and their own stuff is damn good.

      They’re the number 1 team I want to see lose. Their fans, or lack thereof, are so trendy and least represented during the CWS. They’re so bad, I actually rooted for Texas over them
