    Funny hearing a coworker say "Nebraska was my nemesis".  She was describing her frustration over not being able to find the 50th state quarter to complete her collection.

    I think we got 6 complete sets (3 from each mint) collected.  I don’t recall Nebraska being a tough one but quite a few from the Philly mint were hard to come by around here.

    Philly was prolly easier around here, since, well, we live and work < 75 miles away.

    What kind of projecting power would it take to do something like this video (Phila Flyers), on to a football field?

    Maybe we could get that fiber optic turf and really dazzle ‘em.

    I believe these are laser projectors and the cheapest is about 25k.  Betting something for a football field is probably in the 500k to 1 mil and would probably need about 10 of them.  I have a buddy who does it for the Golden Knights and they spent in the 15 mil range.  The software and hardware to run it in sync costs a pretty penny in itself.

    Fun fact - UCF and Nebraska have the same record the past 3 years.  19-19.

    I lurk on their forum occasionally, mostly to see how Frost had done things his first season there and because it's the off season. Some of it's pretty funny. E.g. they've convinced themselves their new coaching staff is an upgrade

    Same, @Moiraine.  I pop over sometimes if I'm super bored.  They're going to score more points than they did, play faster than they did, have better coaches than they did -- considering Heuple comes from a deeper coaching tree and whatnot, and bonus -- they have clown cars full of talent.  They reminded me of Kansas Fan after their orange bowl season.

    Something is wrong with the universe.  My workday wasn't horrifying for once.

    So it's your fault?  :angry:

    My day was terrible.

    Did you have another terrible day, @Comfortably Numb?  I had another day that wasn't awful.  I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop since I am not used to one unsuckful day, let alone two in a row.

    Seems I've been working my @ss off for over a month now. No not at "work" but at home getting stuff ready for this grad party tomorrow. Things could've gone much better....

    Sigh.  I miss Redux.

    This is how your question sounded in my head. Pop culture has addled my mind.

    So far more Huskers presenting picks than being picked.

    Wouldn't be surprised if no one gets taken. #sad

    It's a pretty sad, when FCS and DII players are taken - because they worked hard to get noticed.  Meanwhile, we had talent here that went completely undeveloped and allowed to slack off.

    Been looking to unload a few bucks and donate to the site.  Can someone provide a link?  (I've looked, but obviously not hard enough)

    If you’re on a timeline to unload those few bucks you can send me the money and I’ll forward it to the appropriate party at some future date, probably.

    Dilly, did you hear anything from Mav yet? I'm sorry I just saw this. If not, I'll see if I can track something down with Mav.

    Did anyone watch the spring game last year and think, "4-8!" ?

    @Dilly Dilly Ok, I'm busted and so is @Branno at 7-5 but like I said I really felt it would be worse.  I was ready to move on from Riley early in the season when it was obvious to me that we weren't where we should be as a program.  Fire Riley talk was discouraged but whenever the fledgling Frost train came up (usually after a loss) I tried to push it along.  As UCF's season took off and ours tanked, the Frost train became unstoppable.  By season's end I can only think of 1 poster that thought we shouldn't fire Riley.  My only concern with Frost was that our defense would become soft(er) practicing against his offense.  The coaches stress being physical so I'm no longer concerned.  I'm pessimistic about next season since I don't believe 1 off season will undo what wasn't done the past 3 or more years as far as development particularly in the weight room.  Changing offense, defense is minor compared to attitudes, habits and mentality.  7-5 this season would be amazing and regardless of how good we look in the spring game, I won't be more optimistic.

    I wasn't here to bust you - i just couldn't believe anyone saw a 6 or fewer win team.  I saw that happening before Callahan's last year (when everyone had such high hopes and thought the sky was the limit).  In both coaches' last seasons, they were worse than I could have even imagined it would be.  Hope that changes this year, but i'm willing to be patient.  Takes while to build that thing back up.

    @4skers89 my exact post was “I see 5 losses, 5 wins, and 2 toss ups. I really hope I'm wrong, but I see us as 7-5 max but possibly 5-7.”

    Please tell me how that means my claim that I saw the team going 5-7 after the spring game is busted.

    Kraft vs Velveeta Mac & Cheese?

    Kraft...but Velveeta is better as fish bait.  :lol:

    Kraft mac & cheese was a staple in our household when I was growing up.  Velvetta had a weird texture to me for whatever reason.  I bought some about a year ago and it just wasn't the same as how I remembered it.  I was surprisingly bummed I didn't enjoy it more since I had such fond memories of it growing up.  The other problem is my SO makes absolutely dynamite homemade mac and cheese so my taste buds have been elevated slightly haha.

    @Xmas32, my entire palate has changed since my wife began learning to make meals from scratch. I can't eat hardly any of the prepared/processed foods I ate growing up.

    Watching old kick off classic games.  Those were the days.

    Now you’re making me want to hook up a VCR and drag out all my old VHS tapes of the 90’s games.
