  1. Watching the live stream of Nebrasketball in Italy right now.  I have no idea who any of the players are, but they look long and athletic.  The team looks like they haven't played together much, but they push the tempo a lot and half-court sets involve a lot of guys out on the perimeter to create space for a deep post-up or drive and dish.

      it will be interesting to see how the offense develops as the year goes on. There are some pieces there that have some potential this year.

      I still don't understand how they essentially did nothing to help a division leading team with obvious flaws. Mozeliak should be on the hottest of hot seats this winter.

      Definitely not a Macombie Homie. Grew up in SE Nebraska but wound up out there for baseball

      Nice. Had quite a few friends from the Aurora/Naperville area. Also dated a girl that lived on the south side by Oak Park i believe. Love that city.

      Yes WIU as in Leathernecks. Graduated from there in 2011. You familiar with the area?

      Honestly I don't think it matters. Wife turns 30 the day before so we're bringing a party bus from omaha for the day to celebrate and was hoping to have a spot to setup camp.

      @STL Husker at this point Weaver really was caught in the middle without a spot. Wasn't going to make the rotation with Mikolas, Waino, Wacha, Flaherty, Gomber, and potentially Reyes battling for spots. And I think Hudson, Poncedeleon, and Hicks all get bullpen rolls before he does.

  9. Bigger fake basketball move...

    1.  Eurostep

    2.  Jump stop

    3.  Moving Screen

      If you want to watch someone who has mastered the art of when to pick up a basketball watch Harden. All of his moves look like travels but he has it timed perfectly that his "1st Step" is also at the same time he picks the ball up. Then what most people consider as steps 2 and 3 are actually 1 and 2 and this is why he is so hard to guard.

      Fell down the bottom half of my split level entry on Wednesday. Got a nice bruise right above my butt on the right side. I know your pain.

  11. i missed it live - how did the martinez tip play get ruled a safety? illegal batting of the ball or something? seems bogus 

    1. wiuhusker

      wiuhusker

      I still don't understand how they ruled he had possession of that thing to call it a second forward pass. If they consider him having possession of that then any WR or DB or anyone that catches a pass while in the air and has it jarred loose before hitting the ground should be a fumble. Still not sure how that happened.

  12. Compared to the rest of our schedule, how tough of an opponent do think Colorado was?

    1. wiuhusker

      wiuhusker

      I would argue that Colorado has the 2nd best QB we will see all season behind what Haskins has done vs. very pedestrian competition early. Team wise I would put them behind OSU, Wiscy, and Michigan for sure. After that it's most likely a toss up.

  13. If you think Colorado may have gotten some beneficial calls, you may be right.

      I think the one that got to me the most was the review of the 4th down spot and Frost was absolutely irate about. I thought they were short and that the ball never reached the 48 yd. line but apparently there was not enough evidence to overturn it.

  14. Thinking about a Youtube TV account. Anybody tried it?

    1. wiuhusker

      wiuhusker

      Have had it since January and am pretty happy with it. Wife watches a lot of shows on local cable TV so she doesn't miss those and it covers all the sports channels for me. Helps too that you get some decent movie channels. 

       

      I haven't had any issues with streaming quality or anything like that. They've also added MLB Network and NBA TV since I joined among other channels and my price hasn't changed. Also like being able to control it all from my phone.

  15. After contemplating it a bit, I've come to the following conclusions in a calm state of mind. 

     

    I don't see HCMR going away this season unless it gets really bad. I think there are three heads on the chopping block before him. This is how I see it playing out. 

     

    If we manage a winning season

    1. Cav is gone or needs to be gone. We then need to continue showing that we're willing to spend big for our coaches. Especially when it comes to line coaches. Lots of blame is being thrown at Langs, I'm in the camp it's hard to put a game plan together when your line is getting blown up by guys at NIU. 

     

    2. Reggie Davis needs to go. Again spend some money get coaches who can develop players. The fact that we seemingly only have 1 RB that's p5 level is absurd. There's a small chance he could save his job if he flips TJ from Oklahoma. I don't see this happening. 

     

    If we don't manage a winning season. 

    3. SE is gone. I like the idea of bringing in Trev, but who knows. 

     

    I don't think we lose HCMR this year unless the above happens AND we have a chance to somehow bring in an A list coach this season AND we only win 5.

      Cant really disagree with anything you have listed here. Not too high on Cav or Davis at this point. Only thing I'll say is the Mikale did a hell of a job to get the yards he did Saturday.

  16. Worse broadcaster: Chris Collinsworth or Joe Buck. Who ya got?

    1. wiuhusker

      wiuhusker

      @NM11046 I guess I didn't even think of Buck in the NFL. First thing I thought of with him was the MLB. I've got quite a few friends who are Cubs fans and according to them Buck was a huge homer last year for the Dodgers in the NLCS. I've always enjoyed listening to Buck do MLB games though.

      The major positive of this is we don't get to wear our road all whites.

  22. Sonofa.....boy did it just rain hard. Wife says we have water in the basement around the furnace (not from a window well) and I've never had that happen before. Either I have a new roof leak or more likely it came down the furnace flue. Sure am excited to see what awaits at home:-(

      Hopefully it's not terrible. House i grew up in would get water in the basement when it rained hard. Woke up with 2inches of standing water one morning.

  23. With each new leaked info on the upcoming iPhone 8, the more I distance myself from getting it. Not a fan of the facial recognition, EXPENSIVE, no Touch ID and with limited number being manufactured within first 6 months will be hard to get one....Google Pixel 2 you're looking better every day.

      First apple product I owned was the Macbook. Been extremely pleased with it. Had it almost 5 years now and have had zero issues with it.

       

      Their phones on the other hand have become boring in my opinion. Just seems to be the same thing with each new phone.

      Thinking about making the switch to a Samsung phone myself. Only reason I haven't done it yet is I have a macbook and don't know how well samsung will work with it.
