    The competition between the Rattlesnake Boys, Bugeaters, and Old Gold Knights. Maybe Rhule will announce the winning team tomorrow?

    OT: The Kentucky Derby

    I just took a second mortgage for the full value of my house and put it all on T O Password. I'm sure as Derby Day approaches the odds will come down, but I'm locked in. How could any Nebraska fan bet against a horse with the initials "TO"?

    Recruiting updates 2023-24

    Not really. They need to be fed twice a day. They form cliques and attack each other. And they spit. I have a friend who raises them for wool in Virginia and he is a slave to them with the twice a day feeding.

    Spring Game tickets

    Has anyone been able to download tickets yet? Is this normal to not have tickets downloadable less than a week before the event? Also, I noticed on Seat Geek they did not open the 600 section balcony. That is around 3300 seats, so I doubt attendance will be over 80K even though it appears it...

    OT Retirement

    1. Since old cars were longer and wider, the engine compartments were bigger and it was easier to reach around the engine to work on it. 2. Old cars had longitudinal-mounted engines. Meaning four cylinders were on the drivers side and four cylinders were on the passenger side. Changing...

    OT Retirement

    Depends what you mean by "caliber". I get what you are saying, but something that can't be measured by number of features, safety, horsepower, acceleration is "soul". Another measure is "workability". I changed out the water pump a couple years ago in my 1970 Oldsmobile in about 30 minutes...

    OT Retirement

    I agree with all except the last paragraph and have told people similar lists. For instance, you forgot to mention the swimming pool being closed all summer because people were deathly afraid their kids would get Polio. And if they did, the kid's life was torture for many months. But the...

    4-20 scrimmage notes- single digit players

    Judging how Rhule danced around how the running backs are doing at the PC, I'd say 50/50 Barthel isn't coaching them next year.

    Rhule will be happy-Helmet communication for 24

    I always go to the bathroom right before KO and after the third Q so I don't miss "The Pride of all Nebraska" Cornhusker Marching Band. But then they added the light show between 3rd and 4th during night games, so for night games I just sit there and suffer during the 4th Q :)

    OT Retirement

    The guy I worried about is divorced and sat home alone a lot. The other one has a nice wife but is an engineer and creating things and solving problems lights him up, so retirement took a lot of joy out of his life.

    OT Retirement

    Me and wife zero issues as well. But two guys I worked with who retired around the same time as I had major problems. They are both over-achievers. One guy got so depressed, I was actually worried about him. Luckily they both got jobs after about six months and I suspect will die at their...

    OT Retirement

    I'm certainly no social security expert. But the way I thought it was set up (and sold to Congress and survived through the Supreme Court) was that it is a "voluntary" insurance program. The way the insurance works is your benefit is based on what you put in. The program is already "means...

    OT Retirement

    Wow, this turned into a depressing, apocalyptic thread. I never really thought about retirement, but wife and I always saved around 10% of income and had it in mostly stock funds. Around age 50 I had a friend at work who was the "jailhouse financial planner" and he encouraged me to list out...

    OT Retirement

    Every spring I put screens on three storm doors. Every fall I replace the screens with glass. My wife mentioned yesterday it was probably time to put the screens in and I was like really? seems I just put the glass in a couple weeks ago. Yes, very scary how fast the time is going.

    Rhule's a big fan of Rahmir

    Maybe someone like Trent Uhlir will come on and make some waves. Not sure if he is slated for fullback, but was a force in Class C.

    OT: OJ Simpson Dead

    It is unfortunate that people involved with the law in Los Angeles often let the trial become more about them and not the case. That caused trials that could be finished in three weeks going on for many months. So Marsha Clark and Judge Ito decided to make the trial an 8 month circus rather...

    Scott Frost speaks!

    I didn't look at that call as due to arrogance. I looked at it as due to panic that his defense couldn't hold up. The whole team took on the culture of thinking what could go wrong to lose the game rather than what could go right to win it. That culture of panic/doubt continued the rest of...

    Harper Murray DUI

    I refer to really hot women as "big sack girls". In grade school we gave each of our classmates valentines. We walked around the classroom and put them in a sack on each kid's desk. The prettiest girl got all the really big valentine cards, and therefore had the largest sack. Very pretty...
