parked at pioneer and ready to go! just finished breakfast with the wife. portehouse, eggs, fried potatoes, and toast. nothing better than grilling for breakfast.
November 19th, 2011 at 9:42 AM ^
Holy shit that sounds good. My raisin bran has been shamed.

Time for a beer. Nebraska people seem decent. Not too desperate like some of the folk we've had around here the last few years. Go Blue. Two of these wonderful days left. Enjoy everyone.
November 19th, 2011 at 8:47 AM ^
Woke up with a massive hangover thanks to Bells Two Hearted. Might as well start drinking now and push through this.
November 19th, 2011 at 8:47 AM ^
I am up early to hear the rundown on my young Husker relatives' night out in Ann Arbor. They hit the campus bars after we old folks went home. They said it was split evenly between people who said "Welcome to AA" and "F*ck Nebraska". They also said everyone seems real smart and uses big words. Lol. They were pretty psyched to see Suh out last night.

I just made and enjoyed a peanut butter chocolate and banana smoothie, home made at that. A quick note on Nebraska fans. My little sister is a server at a restaurant downtown and said that she had a horrible experience with Nebraska fans last night. She mentioned they were all drunk and acting like assholes and none of them tipped well at all. I thought their fans were supposed to be classy? Maybe they are just jealous because they saw what a real town looks like. Bacon & Eggs are coming up next, Go Blue!!!
November 19th, 2011 at 9:08 AM ^
I can't speak to the other part but Nebraskans think 12% is an awesome tip.
November 19th, 2011 at 9:25 AM ^
Did they ask for a phonetic spelling of "gratuity"?
November 19th, 2011 at 9:52 AM ^
If I would have been a server for opposing fans with attitude. I can't even count all the options.
November 19th, 2011 at 8:54 AM ^
Heading for the game! Go Blue!
November 19th, 2011 at 9:04 AM ^
Getting ready to place my Saturday bets. Im currently riding a cold streak. Any advise/suggestions?
November 19th, 2011 at 9:27 AM ^
I like Oregon and the points especially if Robert Woods can't go for USC
November 19th, 2011 at 10:02 AM ^
Best Value Plays:
Illinois +14.5
Tennessee +1.5
Eastern Michigan +3
Texas -7.5
Florida International +1.5
Lookin' to cash 'em.
EZ
November 19th, 2011 at 10:18 AM ^
I like most of those picks except for the first two.
I don't have a good feeling on Tennesse or Vanderbilt. I feel like Tennessee should be better than Vanderbilt but Vandy has played a lot of good teams very close. That one I just wouldn't play, not that I necessarily think you're wrong.
But I don't know how you can bet on Illinois even with the 14.5 points. What have they done recently to be worthy of your trust? I think Wisconsin is going to win by 20+ points.
November 19th, 2011 at 3:44 PM ^
Alright, you were right about Illinois. I am now putting all of my savings and maxing out my credit on your other picks.
November 20th, 2011 at 7:14 AM ^
Up three units for the day:
Illinois +14.5 WIN
Tennessee +1.5 WIN
Eastern Michigan +3 LOSS
Texas -7.5 LOSS
Florida International +1.5 WIN
The Wolverines played their best 3 phases of football of the season. What a joy to watch. I hope these guys top it next week with TSIO.
GO BLUE!
November 19th, 2011 at 9:06 AM ^
Hell yes! I just landed a free ticket last night so I can actually go. I'll be there blotting out as much red as possible and making the noise of ten thousands wolverines. 2 mile walk to the Stadium... Commence!
November 19th, 2011 at 9:09 AM ^
I'm at work about to listen to Manchester City Newcastle. After that game I will be following our game on the computer until noon when I am done.
Love the children's show discussion. My son is 3 and loves anything train related, Barney, Yo Gabba Gabba (the Jack Black episode keeps me laughing all day long).
November 19th, 2011 at 9:12 AM ^
Two weeks into new job; wake up at 5 on weekdays, which has altered my body clock.
No kids though, so I probably don't appreciate the freedom to watch EPL, etc... as much as the fathers here would. I'll say I'm not looking forward to those days.
November 19th, 2011 at 9:16 AM ^
Will LOUD and respectful Sec 44, Row 33, Seats 17, 18
GO BLUE!
November 19th, 2011 at 9:39 AM ^
and showered from a long 24hrs at the fire station. I think I am gonna try amd nap it out till a few minutes before kickoff. Better turn on tnr DVR just in case I miss the first few minutes.
November 19th, 2011 at 9:41 AM ^
Good luck with that.
November 19th, 2011 at 9:41 AM ^
Must be something in the air. Normally I'm never out of bed before 9am on a Saturday, today I woke up at 8 and couldn't go back to sleep. Lets Go Blue!
November 19th, 2011 at 9:41 AM ^
My 10 year old and I just got up. My GF watches VH1 and then goes to work out. We will alternate between playing catch and watching ESPN/Gameday while half-heartedly trying to feed ourselves until she gets home.
November 19th, 2011 at 9:46 AM ^

I'm moving to Sioux City in a month. The wife is already there getting the house ready. She took all the furniture except for some stuff I'm selling. I could go to B-Dub's but in doing so, I won't be able to hear the announcer. So what would you do? Go to the bar and eat wings or sit at home and lay on your bed in your a room by yourself.
November 19th, 2011 at 9:53 AM ^
Heyyyy I just moved to Sheldon, IA a year ago, which is only like 50 minutes from Sioux City. I don't know if you've lives in NW Iowa before, but it really is a nice area. Sioux City itself is a lot less small-town & very similar to Grand Rapids in my opinion, but still a nice place.
November 19th, 2011 at 10:15 AM ^
Is where we will be. It's just a mile into South Dakota. It's considered Northern Sioux City. I spent a couple of weeks up there already and I love it. I'm just not sure how bad the winters are gonna be.
November 19th, 2011 at 10:26 AM ^
Really they're very similar to Michigan winters...until you factor in the wind. Last year (my first year out here) there was a day where the wind brought the temp down to -25. It also dumps snow here as opposed to slow & steady when Michigan has big snowfall.
<br>
<br>But on the days that the wind isn't out of control, it's very similar to Michigan.

I just spent the night dealing with a sick 18-month-old. There is no end in sight. I would pay $50,000 to be able to sit in a room by myself and watch the game.
November 19th, 2011 at 10:18 AM ^
for the wakeup call.
November 19th, 2011 at 9:55 AM ^
November 19th, 2011 at 10:39 AM ^
You're going to miss the whole first half on piss breaks you keep going that way!
November 19th, 2011 at 10:02 AM ^
Something just feels... right about today. It's going to be a great day no matter what happens. Go Blue!
November 19th, 2011 at 10:06 AM ^
I just told my gf that I think Denard is going to have his best game of the year. It's just a strange feeling.
November 19th, 2011 at 10:48 AM ^
It's just a strange feeling...
it's called optimism...I have it too!
November 19th, 2011 at 10:04 AM ^
Why isn't Desmond rocking a 10 gallon hat?
November 19th, 2011 at 10:10 AM ^
Watching the okie st highlights. Why are the goal posts the length they are? Seems to make too much sense to add ten feet and take a judgement call out of the refs hands. Fg looked good to me.
November 19th, 2011 at 10:21 AM ^
I think the field goal was good too. I am shocked that they didn't review it.
Although I don't think that would have made a difference since they've only ever shown the two angles. Where's the camera right underneath the goalposts?
November 19th, 2011 at 10:20 AM ^
Michigan has lost to ranked teams at home the last five times by an average of 16.6 points. It's like Hoke was a dad away on business. He walks into his house discovering his son has thrown a massive party. There are beer cans and drunk people laying around everywhere. Hoke rolls up his sleeves.
November 19th, 2011 at 10:29 AM ^
Beat Nebraska!!
November 19th, 2011 at 10:35 AM ^
Anybody else rocking the Bo headset T in honor today?
November 19th, 2011 at 10:36 AM ^
Lee Corso said Penn State should hire Tony Dungy. Not exactly the guy I'd hire. By a long shot.
November 19th, 2011 at 11:22 AM ^
I always found it odd that he is the "go-to-guy" for african-american athletes having issues. His son committed suicide. Not the greatest resume for that role.
November 19th, 2011 at 11:55 AM ^
Why would you find that odd? Do you know him personally?
November 19th, 2011 at 11:42 AM ^
Circling F-16s: loud.
November 19th, 2011 at 11:46 AM ^
I've always found it hard to sleep the night before gametime. Thank gawd for tequilla..
November 19th, 2011 at 12:03 PM ^
Am I the only one who just heard Corso say the F word?
