No nights off in Big 10. Ohio St was 28 in NET rankings going into game.

The bottom feeder teams are much more motivated to make B1G tourney it seems.

Ultimate warrior. Both Cam Jurgens and Landon Dickerson played through major pain as the season wore on. They had to tag-team positions during the NFC championship game, and then both slogged through the SB together. Philly tough!

Nebraska will try to continue their winning ways on the road as they have won 3 in row.
Nittneys are dead last in conference play at 3-12 and 13-13 over all.

Have mixed feelings about this and could see a slip up, hoping to continue the good fortune before next weeks big game against Meechigan.

Could be why we didn't hear anything about his new contract when we heard about Raiola's

Using hindsight as your method of thinking. Of course we all want NU to get into the NCAA tourney but...would you rather

A) Miss the NCAA but win the NIT

or

B) Be another 10-11 seed and lose yet another 1st round game in the NCAA

It seems a little premature to extend his contract, but it's only a one-year extension from 2031 to 2032.

Looks like the home game against the Gophers on Saturday, March 1, will be a red-white stripe-out in the crowd.

Next Season out now. Should be good.

While he's not a player or coach, Jordan Litten, who many know by his nickname J-Litt, is guy who made the Chasing 3 documentary and other videos for Nebraska football/athletics. Turns out he'll do his thing at UCF now as Director of Football Creative and Athlete Branding.

Some familiar names on Scott Frost's staff at UCF. Here's a list of coaches/staffers with Frost at Nebraska who will be with him again at UCF:
>> Steve Cooper (Offensive Coordinator/Tight Ends)
>> Sean Beckton Sr. (Associate Head Coach/Wide Receivers)
>> Sean Beckton Jr. (Assistant Director of Sports Performance, Football)
>> Mike Dawson (Defensive Run Game Coordinator/Edge Coach)
>> Travis Fisher (Senior Defensive Analyst)
>> Zach Duval (Director of Sports Performance, Football)
>> Andrew Strop (Associate Director, Sports Performance, Football)
>> Andrew Sims (Chief of Staff)
>> Ryan Callaghan (Senior Director, Football Operations & Recruiting)

... can't wait....

I hope they open with the original skit...

" i want to feed your fingertips to the wolverines..."

Starting up the live game thread for today's game at Penn State. Tipoff at the Bryce Jordan Center is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. and the game will be shown on BTN with Ed Cohen and Shon Morris on the call.

Outside of Berke Büyüktuncel (ankle), it's a clean availability report for Nebraska, which doesn't list anyone else as out or questionable.

The lone name on Penn State's availability report is Puff Johnson, who this week head coach Mike Rhoades confirmed is out for the season. Johnson hasn't played since injuring his wrist/hand on Jan. 15. Another Penn State player who's out for the season with an injury is former Nebraska guard Eli Rice. Rice played in just one game this season.

Here's some pregame reading while we wait:

... but unless you have injury or illness, if you are playing the last place team in the league, you have to show up to play!!! 12-2??? down 23 at half??? WE ARE NOT GoOD enough to take nights off against duck egg teams...

I promise, i won't post on this again...

RIP

I've lived in my house for 18 years and didn't get the impression that my garage doors were anything new when I bought my house. Anyway, I tried putting some weather stripping on the bottom because I have a small gap in one corner from when my wife backed out of the garage before the garage was all the way up and gave the garage door a bit of a love tap, slightly bent, but not even noticeable unless you're a foot away.

There are 3 bedrooms above the double garage now including our primary bedroom, my son's room, and the office. I was quoted $3250 by Norm's Garage Door for a full replacement of both garage doors and new rails and keeping my same Chamberlain automatic door openers. That seemed like an OK price for me. I had a single garage door replaced at a rental property about 8 years ago and it was about $900. I also know that Norm's is very reputable and provide good service. I've had them out a couple times for service on my garage doors and they also did a good job with my rental single door replacement years ago.

My fear is that a mouse got into the opening that's about 9 inches long and a half inch wide. I caught the mouse, but don't want it happening again. A few questions I have:

1. Is $3250 a fair price for 2 standard size steel garage doors with R-13 rating?
2. Will I be able to actually feel the difference with less cold air and draft entering the garage with new doors assuming good installation?
3. Is there a more cost-effective way than full replacement that I haven't thought of? I tried adding more stripping at the bottom, but didn't work

The sales guy at Norm's was very friendly and he pointed out several small gaps where cold air is getting through. I was hoping for some sort of ah-ha moment where he told me "these old doors are garage and they're made way better now" but that wasn't the case. The current doors are steel and are insulated with foam and the new doors would use poly and be R-13 (allegedly) I think some of the "efficiency" ratings out there are more or less a scam, but not sure if that includes garage doors - the proposed doors I'd be buying are very basic, white, in stock, probably middle of the line.

I'm good with getting them replaced, but always think through expenses like this before pulling the trigger and search out people with more experience than me. I'm a very cheap guy as many of you know...

.

Nebraska has 6 wins and this is the list with 7+: Auburn, Tennessee, Alabama,Texas Tech, Iowa St, Arizona, Texas A&M, Iliinois, UCLA

And only seven other teams have as many as the Huskers. GBR!!!

2026 Anaheim (Cali.) Service three-star TE Luke Sorenson will make an official visit to Nebraska on June 28th. Sorenson was planning to visit Nebraska for Junior Day early this month, but was unable to secure a flight. He's hoping to make an unofficial visit this spring as well to get a feel for Lincoln before his summer OV.

Nebraska is battling Miami, Texas and Florida, with the likes of Texas A&M, Alabama, Colorado and more

Huntered suggested that we have a daily polite thread. I thought it was a good idea so I started one. Only politeness allowed in this thread.
Thank you all.
