Matt Rhule and company are doing an excellent job so far with the transfer portal. Will they be able to reel in at least two offensive lineman? Two guys that are good enough to start next year.

.... stud... love this kid... can play...

big win!!!

This is going to happen every year.

The home field games against teams that barely snuck in are more often than not going to be blowouts.

I loved the atmosphere at South Bend and Happy Valley.

The playoff is young. Great games are coming.
Great first round games are just going to be a bonus.

Here at BigCl's, we are doing prime rib, cheesy potatoes, green beans, and chocolate cake

We are the only Nation in the history of mankind that was founded on liberty and truths of God and the Son he sacrificed to bond the cultures of His creation.
Jesus Christ was birthed by a Virgin on this day for all of us. Merry Christmas everyone and a Blessed 2025.

This Christmas season, I like to take time to reflect about everything that has gone wrong in my life as a result of poor choices made many years earlier. But that is not the true meaning of this post.
I simply forgot what it was like to watch a game pop open and Nebraska running away from teams so suddenly. Watched the '96 Fiesta Bowl again. NU down 10-6 at the beginning of the 2nd quarter. They go into the locker room up 35-10. Win 62-24, and could've put up 80 that night.
Merry Christmas

What do you all have? Any suggestions? What's a quality one for a decent price?

Starting up the live game thread now that the availability report is out.

Looks like Ahron Ulis remains out with a sprained ankle from Saturday:

It’s going to be a fabulous day. The challenge, as always, is to also make it a fabulous new year. We’re in this thing called Life together. Let’s not waste a moment of it.

I say yes, not knowing what criteria required

Holy crap, what a great first episode. I’m not a big DC/Marvel/superhero guy. Can’t suspend belief long enough to enjoy.

This was about as far from a superhero flick as it gets. Far closer to “The Sopranos”, than a Batman spinoff.

Can’t believe that’s Colin Farrell playing the Penguin. Great acting, and amazing makeup job.

Absolutely loved episode one! Hope the rest are on par…

How is Princewill a top 10 transfer and McCullough not ranked?

while clearly different positions, I’d prefer Dasan by quite a bit

Louisville wins 2nd set 34-32.
Tied 1-1.

What are the rules, if any, on transfer portal visits? Does the athletic dept pay for transportation to and from, lodging, meals etc for prospective portal transfers?

First of all, if you are new to RSS, every year during Christmas week we talk prime rib. Some online recipe I discovered has turned into "Dean's Prime Recipe" on the RSS. It's become a running holiday week joke on here, but it's a bulletproof way to make prime rib.

Let's also discuss meat prices on bone-in rib roasts. Costco appears to be the best I've seen at $12.99 for choice. Picked up a 4 bone one last night there for Christmas eve. Hy Vee and Fareway are much, much higher this year with what's happened to meat prices. What type of prices are people seeing out there?
