These scheduling oddities are always fascinating. PSU will have played in Lincoln twice during Nebraska’s first 15 years in the conference and one of them was a Covid game. The only real game we’ve played there was in 2012 and the next one isn’t until 2027 or 2028 iirc.
IU & PU had the protected rivalry crossover so I think IU ends up being an outlier most of the West. Their only game at TCF (now Huntington) Bank Stadium was a Friday in 2018. We played at IU twice since we moved in to our stadium in 2009. We did a Home/Home with USC in 2010/11.
BleedinGreen depends what you're looking for. One of my fav places is Olde New York for dinner and drinks. It's a bit outside of downtown. Has German cuisine and great beer selections. As far as downtown you're really not going to find a dive to lay low. Sharkys is the pool hall. Brewery is definitely the definition of a dive bar which may not be packed. The rest of downtown uses LineLeap to skip lines once the evening hits and ymmv on that. Zenos is usually not as bad crowd wise because it's a bit pricier than the college age establishments. Amazing beer selection and usually live music.
It is pretty much the existence for Minnesota fans, especially if you include pro sports teams. Sean Payton was suspended for a season, NFLOT rules were changed, MLB has replay in part because of a Mauer “foul ball,” etc
I get the Hrbek (Gant) but Kirby? Or do you just mean as a person? Then I would get Kirby but not Hrbek.
Kirby as a human being is primary Kirby as a baseball player who had success against my team is secondary
The forecast for our game is 96 degrees for Saturday. Our players cooked on the East side until Rhule changed it this year. Now we're in the shade on the West on a game like this. Considering it's October, it's gonna feel like being on the surface of the sun for Rutgers players.
What sort of rogue heat wave is coming through Nebraska for the next 10 days? It looks crazy hot during the day, but the overnight lows look normal.
It's been this hot all fall so far. 80s and 90s regularly. Hasn't been even a little bit of fall weather yet. Still, 96 is exceptionally high.
One of the worst sunburns I have had was an October football game with a noon start in direct sun on my pasty white thighs as I sat.
15 years ago on Rivals, we would have three pages by now disputing whether I have ever had a sunburn.
Amending to add a change to the NBA reviews this year after the Wolves got screwed in the conference finals.
I once replied to a thread stating that Charles Woodson was the best Michigan player I had seen and his 1997 game the most impactful performance I had seen. That led to three days of Rivals debate about whether Woodson really got beat deep on this TD catch where David Boston is jogging backwards into the end zone taunting him.
Someone related, I was watching the Aces-Liberty game last night and there was a coaches review on an out-of-bounds call where the refs could have given the ball to the team whose player last touched the ball IF it was deemed she had only touched the ball last because she was fouled. That seemed pretty fair to me. (Though in this case she wasn’t fouled and it was out off of her).
And the evergreen 'final score doesn't tell the story'. That second half sucked shit! Michigan State should not be a close game whatsoever...that's sandbagging
The fort was unreadable in topic. Everyone’s replies were in the title. It was basically Twitter what with the character limits. So it was really ahead of its time if you think about.
Keep talking and I’ll bring back you wishing Harbaugh at Michigan into existence when he was being an ahole at Stanford. We owe you for that.
Stay away from the pizza place. It’s awful and there’s only a line outside because the young ladies working there are wearing bikini tops.
It is awful but it's only $1 a slice (or whatever it has inflated to now) so I don't know what you were expecting.
