At the moment there's still hope. A very small sliver, but all the west games I mentioned in the other thread are surprisingly in decent shape. If they all miraculously end in upsets, Iowa would still have a 1 game lead, but keeps the door open. Wisconsin doesn't look as good. Gives a little hope fo...

Very ugly. Three very important games all starting right now. Iowa-Rutgers, Northwestern-Wisconsin, and Purdue-Minnesota.

Root Rutgers, Northwestern, Purdue. If they all win there might still be a little window.

Busguy2010

I decided not to go for it. Didn't feel like dealing with the crowd and last weeks loss made me less confident in a win today. It's pretty difficult to find a way to predict a Husker win today. Maryland has put up in the range of 24-44 points against their opponents, minus the ranked ones. Granted, ...

I hope we see some sort of variation soon. There's been nothing to talk about lately, nothing to complain about either. Don't get me wrong, it's largely been pretty good the past couple weeks. Unexpectedly so for this time of year. But I need that variety or I get bored and depressed. The analogy I'...

Then you've never truly camped!! Okay, maybe that's a bit of a reach, but hiking in for a couple days and carrying all your stuff with you is a fantastic adventure. The water part is what really sucks if you aren't going where there's a stream you can filter off of. I did some camping as a kid in t...

I noticed it looks quite a bit more cleaned up recently. Dunno if they did some grading at some point, but if they did, the grasses would say it happened over the summer and I just didn't notice it til now. Crazy CVS has held onto it this long. With a few of them closing, I don't see them building t...

Haven't had the chance to go yet, but hopefully I don't run out of time. The weather has been and continues to look perfect, if not a little warmer than I like, for camping... And we're talking mid November! I took a little drive out there just to scope it out and get a map. Granted it was late at n...

I noticed today with the wind, quite a bit of green leaves falling of trees in my immediate area.

Busguy2010

I think I'm going to go to the game this weekend. Being my first game, any tips or tricks? The bug that might prevent me is dealing with traffic and paying for parking. I'm not gonna tailgate so I don't need a spot. Any hidden gems for parking cheap or free with a walk? Any good back routes to the s...

There was also mention of possible expansions to North O, which they're seeking a $300k federal grant to study, possibly followed by an airport extensions. IMO, they should not be spending money on an expansion study when they don't have the primary route built yet. I have said before a streetcar i...

I think the #1 thing we need is for Iowa to miraculously lose out. In that case, they'd be 4-5. Maybe we can afford for them to beat Rutgers, but that's it. We need Wisconsin to drop Northwestern and Minnesota and they'd be 4-5 We need the Skers to beat Iowa and they'd be 4-5 And Minnesota to drop P...

But I will lay it all out Iowa, (4-2) has Rutgers, Illinois, Nebraska Wisconsin (3-3) has Northwestern, Nebraska, Minnesota Minnesota (3-3) has Purdue, Ohio State, Wisconsin Nebraska (3-3) has Maryland, Wisconsin, Iowa I'm not really sure how the scenarios could work out. I'm sure there's a million ...

I like our chances this Saturday and against Iowa. I would feel better about Wis if it hadn't been slated as a night game. My hope is 2-1 to finish the regular season. I would absolutely take 2 and 1. I know this sounds weird but I want no part of the BIg 10 Championship game. It's going to be an a...

Busguy2010

I think they're all pretty much toss-ups too. But I'm just not sure if the Husker defense is good, or the competition has been terrible...? Luckily for the most part, the upcoming competition has been terrible. So we may not find out what the answer is, just win baby!

Busguy2010

The Iowa O is worse than the Huskers. Their D is solid. If the Husker D can play like they have for the most part and factoring in that the game is in Lincoln it could be a 3-0 Husker win. And that would be sweet... I also feel Iowa is winnable, but 3-0 would be the toughest game we've (ever?) seen...

Busguy2010

So is it pretty much assumed that Maryland is Nebraska's last best chance to get that 6th win? All three remaining games are winnable. It's debatable. I'd say Maryland is the last best chance. And even then ESPN has Maryland favored. They have a good passing game and even they beat Michigan State 3...

And in addition, the time change does NOT in fact, change the amount of daylight! Every spring, my socials are packed with n00b stormchasers who claim that there's an extra hour of daylight, therefore one more hour to chase and another hour of atmospheric warming! That's a good one. I'd hope it was...

Guess what? We all know that life will go on just as it always has despite the twice yearly adjustment of clocks…half or more of which now automatically adjust themselves. And in addition, the time change does NOT in fact, change the amount of daylight! exactly. doesn't seem necessary anymore. It i...

I'm happy Blaney won the championship. But I bet on him to win the race dang it. A little bitter sweet, but I can be happy with that outcome. If I get real, real lucky, Chastain gets disqualified in post race inspections and Blaney gets awarded the win. Long shot for sure. But congrats to Ryan Blane...

I have money on Ryan Blaney

There was a large True Value at 73 and Blondo for many years. It took up part of the old Richmond Goldman Building. It was larger than most ace/west lake stores. It was also weird because in addition to hardware, it also sold hunting and other outdoors stuff, had lots of guns and ammo. It was open ...

Busguy2010

They are currently setting up a True Value hardware store inside the Family Fare at 144th & Center. Most of the store has been rearranged and the liquor department downsized. Yeah I finally figured that out a few weeks ago. It was the weirdest thing to me. 90th was my store before it closed. An...

Busguy2010

Nebraska's always been more of a running team than a passing one. That's pretty much the only option (pun intended). I thought the staff had figured that out until today. They had him throw 28 times today, which is much more than the usual 15 or so. Not like they were having trouble running today. ...

Busguy2010

I actually thought Nebraska had a shot to win this game. They had no business losing it. Nebraska's quarterback play today was terrible. I wonder if Simms or Purdy can take some snaps if things go south next week? Jeff Sims got benched for that very reason. That's why Heinrich Haarberg took his pla...

I’m not anti-Christmas by any means. My ASD/ADHD brain just doesn’t understand it. I'm right there with ya. It doesn't make much sense, it's just been an industry and a tradition for a long time. I'm personally trying to get away from the industry part by growing my own tree. But I have to have a C...

Busguy2010

Never really understood the point of growing a tree for the sole purpose of cutting it down and displaying it in your home for a month just to throw away afterwards. I'm not, and my family that raised me aren't christian or religious in any way, but we always celebrate Christmas. To us it was alway...

Busguy2010

Definitely not happy to be so wrong about my gut feel before the game. I didn't care how the play calls at certain points seemed like this was a "test game" for Haarberg as a thrower. They had a lot more pass calls than I've personally seen with Haarberg. I get you gotta develop him, but n...

Okay, so I don't know how many of you have a samsung/android phone. But my phone suggests articles to me, and since daylight saving time is coming to an end, I've been getting a lot of suggested articles. And what grids my gears about it is legit news outlets are posting articles with straight misin...

I really did not expect the Huskers to be on the verge of going bowling at this point in the season. It looks very likely they'll notch their belt this weekend. Michigan State just stinks. The Huskers haven't allowed more than 14 points in their wins and haven't scored less than 17. Meanwhile, the S...

Frost drove this program into the ground, he was a terrible coach and hurt the program Tremendously. It wasn't all Scott Frost's fault. He inherited a mess from Mike Riley. Hard to say exactly who it was... But Mike Riley even mustered up a 9-3 season. He ended up 19-19. Scott Frost ended up 16-31 ...

Busguy2010

Other thing I love is how they've stuck with Heinrich Haarberg. I never knew who he was really, but all the praise I was giving Jeff Sims about his build and athleticism, I could easily have been giving Haarberg. Still about the same boat statistically as Sims, but at least he's from Nebraska and sc...

There was a time when winning 9 games a year and going to a bowl game was considered not good enough. Now people long for those days. You are 100% correct mrsticka.. If the Huskers were to win out and finish 9-3 this year. We’d all be doing back flips :thumb: … Ciao..LiO…Peace FWIW, after yesterday...

Busguy2010

Now we're getting into rare territory. This is the first three game win streak since 2016. How far we've fallen, and how far we've come. I really didn't expect to be on the cusp of bowl eligibility at this point, but I'll sure take it.

Busguy2010

I'm really quite surprised. I couldn't watch any of the game, but I saw it turned out 31-14. Absolutely not what I was expecting. I heard there were a lot if turnovers for Nebraska, so maybe they're lucky it wasn't closer? Any sort personal summary is appreciated. I can watch videos tomorrow

Busguy2010

So, ya guys got me. Although I wasn't particularly motivated, I decided on a whim that I couldn't not try the frankenburger. I always forget how small their burgers are. When it comes down to it, that's the size a burger really was meant to be, and it makes sense because of there kind of 1950's them...

^ I agree. I really think most of the remaining games are more 50/50 than anything. 5 shots to get 2 wins. I think it's really doable. It's been a very favorable schedule and it seems like almost every team is also in a down year. I'm still just a little nervous. It's gonna be a stressful upcoming s...

That's funny this came up. I was thinking maybe I'd do some cold weather camping over there within the next two weeks. How is that place? I've never been. It looked like all the tent camping sites are hike-to, is that right?

Busguy2010

I kinda doubt I will, but I hope I get out and try those broncos burgers if it's not too late. Bronco’s is just out of the way for me no matter how I split it. I wish they still had the 72nd & Pacific location, I used to go there often. But now, broncos is like a once or twice a year thing. If I...
