I have had the unfortunate luck of seeing fans leave games early. It started in 2007, my dad took me to the game where a bad Oklahoma State team BTA'ed us in Memorial Stadium. I remember seeing fans beginning to file out after the first quarter. I just remember my dad rambling the whole way home about how fans leaving would get the athletic department's attention.

I was in the stands when Ohio State gave us a quick one-two punch in 2017, fans started filing out of the stadium. I personally should NOT have stayed, but Ohio State was unfortunately my pick to win the CFB, so I thought it was gonna be the closest to seeing a Championship winning team in person lol.

I was also in the stands when OU whooped us after Frost's firing. It was fun while it lasted, seeing Nebraska hang with OU for a bit....

The running theme was the fans showed up, like it was an obligation to keep the streak alive, and then bounce as soon as the sellout streak is announced or sooner if SHTF. Now it seems like we are all starting to lean towards maybe the sellout streak should be left behind.

I mean why should we feel obligated to keep the streak alive? Us fans are slowly getting shafted by reseating because someone with more money than you wants your seat. Why should we care about a sellout streak when you drive an hour or more from one side of the state to watch poor on field performances? Why should we care when the athletic department multiple times just took the cheap route with hires?

Nebraska has had multiple coaching carousel cycles where we could've gotten a damn good hire (Kyle Wittingham), only for our Athletic Director to completely screw us over (Eichorst). I think this threat of the sellout streak coming to an end should be incentive that the AD needs to just stop playing around and get the lead out of their ass and pull out all stops to get us back to at least being in the CFP discussion.

This post isn't meant to be a Rhule gripe post, but it is just wild to me how since 2014, the AD just has had absolutely no urgency for anything at all. I can't be the only Husker fan out there that thinks it's inexcusable that we even got in this hole after we hired Riley.

Maybe if the sellout streak ends, the department will wake up and get its shit together.

Let me just open with saying that if you're taking advice from a singer who lives in an ivory tower, then you got bigger problems than what a singer said. It's a really dumb take too.

Whether or not you are religious, dogs have been by our sides helping us hunt, protecting the farm, and just being a friendly companion who wants table scraps from time to time. It is not a wild concept at all because this concept of co-existing with dogs and pets has been around for thousands of years (possibly longer) We still use dogs to hunt, BTW.

For those who grew up in families with hunters, you should know first hand that hunters are good sports about their sport. They take an animal's life and take a moment to appreciate the animal for blessing the hunter with food that will last them a year.

It shouldn't even have to take a post body to explain why loving and eating animals aren't mutually exclusive should be common sense. Anybody who had a steak on their plate while scratching their dog or cat's ears instantly disproves what a stupid singer said about eating meat.

In a non-legal rant, it is SOOOO annoying when you are accused of something you have never done. Here's a little story that happened recently that reminded me just how much of a pet peeve being accused of something can be for me.

I was just minding my own business, heading back to work because I forgot my phone in the breakroom. Get to the jobsite, and my phone was right where I left it with a touch over one million notifications.

Of those notifications, I got one from a group chat of a few friends. Instincts told me to open it, because it's one that isn't going off all the time. One of my friends in the chat lives down the road from me, and he was the one who started off the conversation that day. I open it, and I see a text reading:

"OP, Don't text and drive"

Friend two replies with "Uh oh, OP was a little distracted??"

Fried one: "Yeah, saw him with his head down and phone in hand."

I stopped right there in work's breakroom and decided to defend myself. I reply with:

"I forgot my phone at work, I was not texting and driving."

Friend One: "OP, you're such a bad liar. You didn't even hide the fact you were distracted when you went by."

Me: "We can agree to disagree, I just grabbed my phone at work because I forgot it. Not sure what else to tell you, I can tell you the same damn thing with my hand on the bible even."

Friend One: "If you didn't have a phone in hand, then what was it that I saw you holding in your hand?"

Me: "The steering wheel."

Friend One: "Sure."

I got left on read when I offered up a screenshot of my location.

Anyways it was a bit confusing for me, like part of me thinks that my friend is just trying to fuck with me and get under my skin, because we do in fact have that dynamic, but something tells me friend one is seriously accusing me of something I didn't do. He gripes a LOT about how bad other motorists can be, so I feel like that is the obvious hint that he's seriously accusing me. The bonus about not letting things go?

Well, a couple days pass by, and I find an interesting podcast about a shared interest in the group. Friend one is quick to reply with "Did you find this podcast on a county road, or the highway??" which I have a hunch means he's not quite over it with me defending myself from accusations. Normally the group pieces apart podcasts by sharing parts they found funny, relatable, or just showing simple praise for the host. Because of that, nobody reacted at all to my shared link in the group chat.

Whenever I get told "Don't do x" by a friend or colleague, part of me wants to just take it to that level where I want to remind them of my age, and that I can handle adult accountability, buuuut the results usually don't go the way you're expecting.

Also, if I was truly doing something wrong that you don't like, what the fuck are you trying to gain by dragging my name through shit in a group chat? You could literally just pull me aside and just say "Hey, I saw you do something I thought was unsafe..." and we can handle it from there. Don't put me on blast in front of everyone.

For being a sports related talk show, it just seems like every segment on the radio is a circus with all sorts of off topic side conversations going on. The segments also seem to be mostly commercials too, like I swear they come on air just to announce they're going back on break. When the personalities are on the air, it's mostly them reading comments or talking to the same reporters from OWH and The Athletic.

There's a co-host who oftentimes whispers on air, so when I'm following along on the radio, I can't hear what they're saying. I've also felt like some of their takes are a bit off the wall, to put it politely.

The morning segments the few times I've always tuned in at 6 seems to be the hosts stroking Creighton too. I'm sorry if anyone disagrees with me here, I'm a bit biased because 1620 replaced the metal station here in the Tri-Cities.

A bit of a specific pet peeve, but in my area the cashiers have to manually activate the gas pumps from behind the counter. Normally isn't a big deal for me, other than some places the cashiers are in absolutely noooo rush to get to activating your pump.

The other day when I was staring at the "Awaiting cashier" on the screen, I would look up and see the cashier talking to someone, and absolutely paying no attention to the computer that is making an annoying jingle to get her attention that someone wants gas.

Why does this annoy me? it's simply there's a computer dinging at you to activate pump number 3, one click of the button makes the computer stop dinging, and I can pump my gas and be on my way, and I can finally stop staring at you.

Stuff like this makes me want to go in and just click the damn button myself.

Vegans wanting vegan only restaurants because they too want a dining out space just for themselves, yet they complain if there isn't enough vegan options beyond just the salad bar at restaurants for sane people. The crazy part is they simultaneously bitch about how they're entitled to share space with the normal people of society, but think they deserve an exclusive dining space from those same people.

Since we are on the topic of food, and dining out, it is WILD to me that so many American families cave to Vegans wanting their garbage foods at the holiday feasts. I came from a family where if you didn't like the food made for you, then your ass can go hungry or simply skip over it, nobody is gonna be cooking you an alternative. If you don't like the meat, then eat the fucking mashed potatoes and stuffing, and quit bitching about it. I hear about vegans claiming they got their family to go vegan, it often makes me wonder just how much effort was invested into putting the family under duress.

And ugh, do NOT get me started on when "meatless Monday" were a thing amongst Vegans. That was a popular push amongst animal rights groups on my college campus back in the day. These crybabies wanted to force their lifestyle onto EVERYBODY by pushing the dining halls into serving only vegan options. Not only did my university tell them to fuck off, but the university had to remind the Vegans they were an AGRICULTURAL research institution, and that includes cows and chickens for human consumption. The vegan argument in favor of this was stupid too "Buuuh you got the rest of the week to eat meat!"

Just gets annoying when Vegans stomp and shout like a toddler mid tantrum, not to mention, NOBODY asked for you to tell us how to eat and live our lives.

The funny thing is, it really shows how much of a lack of understanding they have for carcinogens.

Yea... red meat is categorized as a carcinogen, it's the same level of risk as working the graveyard shift. It's in the same level of risk as aloe vera lotion, and hot tea and coffee. Which is far far down the totem pole, these idiots make it seem like it belongs in the same category as smoking, or that it's in the same category as being in hazardous conditions like a coal plant.

It's almost like vegans like being dishonest by conflating hazards and risk to push their shitty agenda. Which perfectly explains why they simultaneously tell others the bible pushes a vegan message (it doesn't), or why humans and their canine teeth were really for opening fruit in our primordial days (never mind the fact that the theory of evolution points to COOKED meat as a catalyst for evolution).

And another thing, if meat is soooooo unhealthy, why do the world's top athletes eat it? Mr. or Mrs. Vegan, have you ever once wondered why us average meat eaters have faster recovery times post workout?

Since vegans are at a higher risk for this silent disease, I think it is worth spelling it out for them.

This disease leads to bone fractures due to their weakened state. You are at a higher risk due to lack of calcium and nutrients sourced through meat and dairy.

It starts with simple neck pain, the type of pain that makes you think you just slept on your side weird. but it's not a nerve that got pinched. It's the beginning stages of a collapsing vertebrae. That pain is will not go away on its own, in fact one day it will cause a bone fracture out of nowhere.... imagine falling to the floor in the middle of a Trader Joe's because you randomly experience a wrist fracture lol

I just want Vegans to be aware their diet is not consequence free. It's easily preventable through meat and dairy consumption too lol

After seeing the AQI of Omaha and Lincoln, it just makes me feel even more relieved that the fireworks are back to being illegal to light.

My little ole cow-town doesn't allow fireworks until July 3rd, but there's nobody to enforce that ordinance, so the fireworks have been going off since about June 15th. People have been lighting off their carryover from last year, ahead of the stands opening for business.

I'm not trying to come off too bitchy about others' enjoyments, but I really don't get how lighting off the same fountains and the same artillery shells can be entertaining for some. It's just that the enjoyment some people get lighting fireworks comes at the expense of our sleep schedules being disturbed... Nothing against fireworks really, it just gets old hearing the banging.

That being said though, shoutout to those of you who at least cleaned up after yourselves when the fireworks were over. YOU ROCK!

My guess is this will be the "totally not staged" sequence of events for this case, leading up to and following.

We will eventually get a of a mass shooter that the FBI or some Blue Police Department knew about for years, but didn't act on it. The media will talk about this non-stop, and it will be weeks or a month away from this case. The case will then gain notoriety if it hasn't already.

The blue team's politicians will then bitch about the case and use it as ammunition to try and bully and intimidate SCOTUS into ruling against our favor.

Once SCOTUS rules AWB's are unconstitutional, the Blue Team politicians will bitch about how SC got it wrong. They will call for court packing, and minutes after the ruling is made, the crisis actors on Bloomberg's payroll will make a sob story on the steps of the Supreme Court crying about how these "wuh wuh wuh weapons of war" belong on a "battlefield".

Unfortunately, many blue areas will probably take down their AWB's and just make a new ban in everything but name only too.

Wisconsin has reportedly finalized a deal to hire Shawn Eichorst as their new AD....

For those unfamiliar, Eichorst fired an 8-10 win coach when he was AD at Nebraska. Eichorst single handedly was the catalyst to Nebraska's struggles post 2014.

Eichorst would then go on to push for a terrible coach in Mike Riley, who would guide Nebraska to a 5 win regular season in his first year... If that wasn't bad enough, Eichorst EXTENDED Riley in a 4 win season just two years later, when that Husker team clearly had the wheels so far off the wagon, that they were in the bottom of the lake!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! GOOD FUCKING LUCK, WISCY! THE DARK AGES ARE JUST BEGINNING FOR YOU!!!!!!!!

I can't be the only one who has noticed this, I see a lot of Vegan "influencers" who just look like the type to have smoked a pack a day for 30 years while they also claim to be "bodybuilders" or "health" influencers.

If your diet is making you look 15-20 years older than what you are, then I wouldn't be focused on pushing your views and diets onto others, you should be getting your zinc rather than acting like your diet is superior.

Because Dan did not want to share his policy positions on the 2nd Amendment beyond just "I support the 2nd Amendment" the last election cycle just to steal votes from Republicans who are 2A supporters, a townhall in Omaha exposed Dan's true views.

Dan was asked about his ideas to "fix" the "gun violence epidemic" and the gloves came off there.

Dan supports gun owners "re-registering" their guns and undergoing a psych evaluation every 5 (FIVE!) years in what he calls "pre-emptive red flag laws". Never mind the fact gun owners have to pay out of pocket for this expensive racket, since insurance won't cover this, but Dan just told potential voters that you MUST prove innocence before you can begin or continue exercising your right to bear arms.

Think of any multiplayer survival game that also has base building. There is always that one player who cannot be bothered to let the new players at least just accumulate some resources so they can stand a chance in the server world.

And what is that more experienced player gaining when they intentionally kill a newly spawned player with no armor and only a rock? Are you trying to store the rocks away like it's gold at Fort Knox? Go pick on someone your own size, friend-o. How hard is it to yield back when another player declares themselves friendly/not a threat on the chat?

I only KOS in these types of games if someone is a known griefer, but I will stop if they surrender and just want to play the game with a focus on resource building again. My code for these types of games has always been the same, don't bother me and I won't bother you.

I would much rather the newbies get their feet under them, learn the game and have some fun, I like having decently populated servers and griefing players just pushes them away....

Besides it's a lot more fun enjoying the PvP aspect of a game when players are on more level terms with you anyways! That being said, I still carry on in these types of games by not emotionally investing in a base or whatever when it is ripe for the pickings when I'm offline or AFK.

A friend of mine likes to talk trash towards me, and he thinks he's pretty clever about it. His playbook is to simply get his "punches" in, and then he quickly tries to redirect his attention elsewhere (like the bar's TV) in an effort to ignore me while I'm dishing the comeback. In some cases, he will try to "shush" me, which is pretty much his way of saying "I won".

When the ignoring happens, should I just pat him on the shoulders and just mention that he must be really giving the next comeback a lot of thought after I drop the comeback?

Anything clever that you guys can come up with for the shushing?

I remember in the early 00's and even the 2010's where most food brands would advertise "With dietary fiber" alongside advertising "reduced carbs" on their food products. It didn't seem like the fiber craze really went away in the 2010's either.

Well... looks like companies advertising added protein is "in" now for the 2020's. While protein is great and all, the food companies advertising added proteins don't really have a significant amount of protein in their foods.

Depending on the wording used, it's more than likely you're looking at foods that merely have crumbs worth of protein in them "Good source of protein" usually means 5g of protein. Not to mention it's the cereal companies that pounced on this, so you are still consuming the added sugar that most cereals are known for STILL.

If getting your protein is important to you, there are much better ways of getting it than a bowl of sugary crap. I for one will mix me a shaker bottle of whey protein if I'm in a pinch with that particular macro... at least that is much healthier and significantly more efficient than a bowl cereal.

Little backstory, I met some friends to shoot hoops at the local YMCA this morning. We were slowly getting enough players for a pick up game for another team, the other team pretty much knew each other, except for their 5th guy they seemed to not like when we talked number 5 (I'm gonna call him 5 from now on) into coming over to play.

When the game started, 5 was ignored. He'd be open and the guy who had the ball would either dish it off or find one of the others on the arch to try and splash a three. 5 would work to get open, he would YELL "I'm OPEN!" but yet they just would not dish him the ball. When I say ignored, like I really mean it, they weren't even acknowledge the dude and would rather play 4v5...

I felt bad for 5, like the times he took shots when we traded players around, he had pretty good form and he had good shot selection. He made good decisions too, but the important thing is it was just a pick up game. Who in the world cares if he took a few bad shots, or made bad decisions?

I know there's gonna be people saying "well maybe its because the other team didn't know him!"..... Everyone that I know actually is quick to dish the ball off to the new guy (hell, even the new girl), something about getting them involved in a TEAM sport, also me and everybody I know wants to get the ball into the hands of new guy to see what he CAN do!

What is wrong with people just leaving 5 out of the game?

Just a peeve of mine that stands out for me in the online dating world, because it is so low effort. The response also throws the ball in my court to carry the conversation myself. It is a bit of a head scratcher, because I'm often wondering if the woman is not interested, or just isn't a conversationalist. I get that "Hey how are you today?" is a very basic question to ask, but it takes little to no effort to respond with "I had a pretty rough day! The office is in a frenzy over some deadlines we need to meet!" or whatever. If I get consistent "Good", "Good you?", or "Nice", for a response without the other side putting in effort, then I'm moving on.

Like it just feels insanely awkward, it might as well just be a conversation with yourself at that point. I used to try and put effort into text messages with these types of women in the hopes I'd get a more thoughtful response. when I got one word "Nice" response from a woman after sharing with her that I was at a baseball game, I'd basically say something like "Yea, for sure! I was at the Rockies game, it was an extra inning thriller and the Rockies walked off the Dodgers!"

Yeaaaaa no point in carrying on. Everyone has their reason for why they are not putting in some effort. Not interested? possibly. Not a conversationalist? Could be the case. Both? Sure. If you aren't interested, just don't match with me in the first place though.

Also for the ones who are gonna say "Maybe she is that busy!" I'm working 12's a lot during the summer, and I can still find time in my busiest of moments to write up a story about what is making work so hectic for me and all I do is press buttons on a CNC machine lol.
