    OT. Any Omaha pizza that is worthy?

    I haven't eaten there yet, I should give it a try.

    OT. Any Omaha pizza that is worthy?

    for Neapolitan style pizza go to Dante. For New York style go to Noli's. For Deep Dish go to Davlo. For a good all around pizza cut into squares, I like Varsity. For a really good, for lack of a better term, "American style"pizza go to Mangia. For an "Omaha" pizza, go to mama's, and if you...

    Political posts and threads

    I've heard you have been granted a crew of monkey butlers to look after your household and iron your newspapers and such. That, and your own copy of the Paul Lind Halloween special.

    Political posts and threads

    What about arguments about whether or not deep dish really qualifies as pizza? Or whether or not the Monkees count as a real band? Or what the proper level of done-ness is for a steak? Because people who answer incorrectly to any of these deserve to be driven to the margins of society!

    Mike'l Severe named new Big Red Wrap-Up host

    He's a real pro, I think he will be a great successor to Kugler. I wonder how the show will change with him, I'll look forward to seeing it.

    Can you feel it???

    Did we even play that song last year? Honestly I thought we already got rid of it. We should have gotten rid of it a long time ago because it sucks. The other thing is that we all already knew that MJ was a pedo years ago, it's not like this documentary told us anything we didn't already...

    Why is the NFL allowed to be socialist?

    I don't think it's accurate to call European soccer an example of unbridled capitalism. The teams almost never turn a profit, they are basically vanity projects for billionaires. The NFL is not a microcosm of a complicated economy, it more closely resembles a large business with multiple...

    Why is the NFL allowed to be socialist?

    It's not socialism, it's similar to a cartel. While cartelization across the economy is a feature in some types of right-socialism, a cartel is, in and of itself not socialist. There are multiple reasons for the NFL setup, and it has worked to make it very profitable. There are arguments to...

    Weird historical parallel

    So the Pats run started with the famous in the grasp incident in the AFC title game against the Raiders in 2002. They then went into the Superbowl against the Rams, won it, and started one of the great runs in football. The Rams just won a game on controversial call (to put it mildly) and are...

    Bob Costas 'Quietly' Leaves NBC After 40 Years

    I realize the answer to this will vary depending on who is answering, but do people object to political commentary in sports broadcasts, or do they object to political commentary with which they disagree in sports broadcasts? I think most people would commend the great courage of a sportscaster...

    Tate Martell in Transfer Portal

    There have always been more QB transfers than transfers of other positions (Vince Ferragamo transferred to NU back in the 70s, Troy Aikman started out as a Sooner, and in the 90s we bid adieu to guys like Ben Rutz and Jon Elder and landed Scott Frost.) I think that transfers in general are on...

    Demaryion Houston sets visit to NU!

    I agree with this. Bo designed the perfect defense to stop Big Twelve offenses, but was too stubborn to change it and too confident in his own coaching abilities to recruit the type of defensive players, especially on the D-line, necessary to win against the better teams in the Big Ten. Had we...

    Right time for Saban to try the NFL again?

    After the way Daunte Culpepper emasculated him during his gig with the Dolphins, Saban won't want to go anywhere near the NFL.

    Clemson v Alabama thread

    While I don't want to see any program dominate college football (unless it's Nebraska) I do like Dabo. He seems like he really loves his players and he really enjoys his job, it's a refreshing contrast to Saban who seems to view his job as a terrible burden.

    Clemson v Alabama thread

    Trevor Lawrence is a great player and will have an amazing and lucrative career. That said, he looks the the offspring of that kid from Real Genius and a Muppet.

    Wow... Maher, Collins, Gregory...

    I think that year it might have been Ross Dzuris.

    Defense Defense Defense

    This might be a dumb observation, or one so obvious that I shouldn't bother sharing it, but I think because of the style of defense we run, we need to recruit better in terms of stars and ratings on that side of the ball than we do on offense. It seems like Wisconsin, MSU, Northwestern and...

    Top Recruits at the AA Bowl Game

    I think things feed into each other. If we can maximize with our present talent, we'll have better opportunities to recruit more top players. If we can maximize with those players, we can improve our recruiting even more. I think winning really helps, but it isn't enough. It makes recruits...

    What slows down the Alabama train

    I'll echo what others have said: Saban retiring or a finding of NCAA violations resulting in extreme sanctions would certainly do it. I'd like to pose a couple of other possibilities; first if Saban were to stay too long we could expect the machine to come apart (look at Bowden's last decade...

    OT - Vasectomy

    I had mine done by none other than Judd Davies. This was after Monte Cristo did my wife's epidural. Anyhow, if they prescribe a valium for you for the day of the operation, take it. I remember thinking I wouldn't need it, then about 4 hours before I went in I started freaking out. The...
