Dumb law.

You're personal effects shouldn't be any of your gov't business.

^ There's a thought!

Tyrann Mathieu is a fan of the Bench Mob.

Here's what I don't get: his take had a mixed reception but, based on his overly apologetic reaction, you would have thought he said something racist or bigoted. It was just a simple take on a simple side court celebration. Why does this even matter in any way?

^ His reaction screamed insecurity.... It doesn't really matter at all, but always good to see Dan get "dunked on", as he put it.

Why take a crap offer when it doesn't matter who they schedule?  Their conference is not strong enough, that's been proven.  They could schedule 2 SEC teams and they'd still get left out.  Smartest thing to do is schedule however you want and hope you get an invite to a better league.

If UCF plays and beats a playoff worthy team in their non-con they’ll get in. The problem is their best non-con wins the last 2 years were 8-5 FIU and 7-6 Pitt. Throw in an FCS team both years and the fact that both years they’ve only played 11 regular season games, both of their cancelled games being against (admittedly poor) P5 opponents and I don’t know how you can reasonably argue they’ve played a playoff worthy schedule.

UCF doesn’t have a win against a top 25 team this year and their highest rated opponent according to Sagarin is Cincy at 39. Heck 3 AAC opponents they’ve beaten are ahead of Pitt in the Sagarin.

No they wouldn't.  The playoff is huge money.  Sexy name will always trump scrappy underdog and they will always have a way to justify it.

Imani Cross might come close.......

Imani Cross. Seemed like he had one helluva Carry/TD ratio....

(Looked it up: 11:1  carry/TD ratio)

The Italics poorly illustrated my jest

Severe wanted to find an opportunity outside of sports. The opportunities fell through. By the time he reached back out to 1620 to stay they were already to far down the replacement process.  

@ladyhawke I found some of the Callahan drops!
 

 I miss Kugler and Severe! They had great chemistry!

ColoradoHusker. I’m sure it’s terribly hard. Some never do come forward. I cannot even begin to imagine the horror they must live with, what a destructive force that must be in their lives to carry such a buden and I hope no one here thinks I am dismissing the victim’s plight in ang way, because I’m not.  I guess my question remains why now? And it could be exactly because of what Zoogs shared but I just get this niggling feeling that there is something more going on here. Then again perhaps it is all exactly as reported.  I’m sure it will all come out. 

Wow. Am I getting an education. Zoogs thanks for starting me considering why sexual assault victims don't come forward right away. I found two really good articles on the topic. However, I still wonder about this particular case.

@zoogsFrom my understanding and what ive read, he doesnt want to name names until his book comes out. Hes trying to make $$ off of it. Or, if someone paid him enough for an interview he might drop. But from my understanding it sounds like hes looking for a way to make $$ before he does.

Hey if you even thought about business while driving it, it's a business expense imo.

You guys are going to make them create another federal oversight agency for work vehicles if you don't shut your yappers soon.

@JJ Husker   I'm gonna use that line.

@ZRod 

This is off subject but looking at that list of teams I wondered how Nebraska would’ve fared in such a conference over the past few years. Conclusion; It would’ve been ugly.

I was thinking of that too Redux - maybe the FBS should be split. If you're a sub .400 lifetime team you get kicked out. I'm sure that'd go over well.

Something like the premier league?

Time.

If Christians were out pillaging Muslim communities today, only in the name of God, I would agree with you. 

you say crusade, they say jihad.   you are both still saying the same thing.

We have a board for politics. Let's keep this stuff there please: http://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/forum/151-politics-religion/

Dirk is an average writer to me. Sam used to be excellent. When he first started out his articles were interesting because they were real, fresh. As he became more popular his writing became more mundane.  I want the old Sam back. This one is seems to be rather  jaded-like the subject doesn't interest him anymore so he's resorting to. 'Click bait' mentality. I hate that.  

Knappic, are you a writer yourself?  Or are in the journalist field?  

I'll read Dirk's long form pieces; he did a story a few years ago about how football is dying in small-town Nebraska which is one of my favorite sports stories. I was also really looking forward to his series on Danny Nee until they hid a vast majority of it behind their online paywall. 

Sam has just gone off the deep end since joining the OWH. 

I will admit that Dirk has his moments. I enjoy listening to him speak when he's a guest on Big Red Wrap Up.  I do like the longer pieces. 

But Sam just makes me want to cry!  He's so talented!  Bring back the Old Sam

Look up Colter Wall.... He's country, country...

I demand some Justin Bieber!

Same. I'm pretty appreciative of most types of music (except country - for whatever reason, I've always struggled to get into it). I was on a Kendrick kick up until I saw Bohemian Rhapsody and now I'm back on a Queen surge.

@Cdog923 

Paraphrasing here: "You want to see an a$$ kicking watch that last drive." It was after one of Minnesota's long, run heavy drives.

It wasn't wrong, but seemed like an oddly aggressive choice of words from a guy covering the team.

I heard you guys were gossiping about Twitter drama in here.

Players are best to just move on. Its not fair, but with Twitter you are fighting usually a nameless/faceless army who receives zero punishment for what they say but when you are a face/name, you win nothing going after them. It is not fair for those guys regardless of how they played, but again, what do you get by going back at a person? Everyone is frustrated. 

Tanks, Donkey Kong, etc. My parents have an Atari at their house and it still works. Also have a Sega Master System.

Yep, Didn't that set up come with Pac Man too? For some reason I remember playing that as well on it.

My all time fav is Midway HydroThunder. Our Sega crapped out but can still play it on PS2.

Ya, I think we played well.  I felt we would get beat by 35 if we played well.  If we helped contribute to the slaughter then it would be worse.  We didn't beat ourselves tonight.  Personally, I had us as 7-5 for the season before it started and did not think this game would be close.  I just don't think we are any where near the program OSU is.

@krc1995 I'm annoyed, yeah. The program is s#!t

@BigRedN we didn't force a punt..... That's not playing well.

B.B., ya, but I didn't really ever believe we had the capability to stop them.  The players looked like they cared a bit more then MR.  I think OSU was pissed we scored 3 points on them last time and will probably have some major pay back for the 14 we scored this year.  They seem to take it all personal.  

Trust me, I get you point.  My perspective is just a bit different.  

YOU SHOWED HIM HEH HEH

Real fans don't unfollow. They create status updates on message boards calling him an ass....

^^HAHAHA!

Come now, @Moiraine, surely an equal-area projection would be more appropriate for that! I think a nice Mollweide projection is a good choice for showing Greenland.

What if Greenland bought us????.....

Yeah, I should've specified no center named Cam instead of being hyperbolic. Give me a break though, two hours ago (about the time of CTB's muff fumble) we wouldn't have had any player named Cam left on the team 

What absolutely boggles my mind is we haven't had a long QB TD run from either guy, but specifically Luke. He's doesn't seem T Mart fast.

What blows my mind is 2 passing TDs all year. W.T.F.

@ZRod This is a blue collar league. You start a bunch of Freshmen, they're going to get eaten alive.

Kinda like this year so far. What was the stat they showed during the game? _____ so much of our production this year has come from Freshmen?

The coaches are getting raked for losing the games we've lost. They're trying to win a few games here & there. But if they bench everyone with experience, they get killed in every game.

Actually, I see the Bears going 11-5 as well. But Pack will have the tiebreaker.

I have 4 more wins for my vikes. The last 6 weeks looks to be a 1-5 record.

They have a chance, but the Bears will probably win it.

Fifty Shades of Te'o

Read Friday Night Lights.

And quite frankly a lot of it sounds the same. And I get sick of Taylor swifts latest break up song.

Said no one ever.

If you mean real country music that's played today, then I'd agree. Stuff like Daniel Romano, Shooter Jennings, Ted Russell Kamp, heck even Jamey Johnson.

It will all be about match ups for them, in the tourney.

Always is in the tourney

Totally! I can't wait for the Dance!!!!

Ragnars sons besides bjorn are terrible. Poor acting and just lame characters. GOT has some of the best villains of all time.

^ I couldn't disagree anymore with that post. The kid who plays Ivar the Boneless is a better actor than anyone I've seen on GOT (except maybe the little fella). And his character is more intricate than any character I've seen on GOT.

ED, get through Season 3 before forming an opinion.

Dan Wetzel (who covered the Sandusky trial better than anyone in sports media) has a good take on it

Also here's Dan Wolken on USA Today (who broke the Schiano to UT story) with a recap of the events

Maybe they should bring back, Phil Fulmer.

Not coming back? Who said they ever left?

#oldguysrule

My source has informed me that @ZRod only wears the skinniest of skinny jeans

Dude my thighs are to big for skinny jeans. I can barely put my keys and phone in the pockets. Slim bootcut is about as tight as I can get, but bootcut is the only way to roll.

@Decked, that's true.  But the $9.95 a month also gives a person access to the "Mom"oha articles....

My dad still subscribes to the paper version of the owh.  Gonna have to ask for a copy of his bill and see if I can use his account to get online articles.

They've got a 99 cent for the first month, $9.95/month rate after that.

I've had a subscription for about three years because it was important to me to support the local newspaper. That online rate is better than what I have now but it really is worth it if you take the time to dig into what you get for that price. I've also had Huskers Online and 247 subs. I cancelled them after a year because I still think the OWH, collectively, does it better than anyone else. Just my two cents.
