Listening to the announcers, you would think this game was played in the harshest conditions imaginable, then they have a guy touch the field with a paper towel to demonstrate.

Purdue is without their two greatest players in Bell and Karlaftis, just a gigantic dropoff is talent on the roster when you take those two guys out.

This player Banks is like money at the linebacker position.

Just over a month ago, the people from Roadfood released a television food and travel show. Its about ten years too late. I couldn't tell you which channel its on, or where to stream it, or who hosts it without checking. The first episode is about Houston, and I don't know much about Houston because I haven't been there in a long time. I don't know if the show features what the city is like today, or whether its more like an older person's idea of what eating out in Houston is like. The people who wrote the Roadfood book a long time ago didn't adjust to the changing media and the way America has changed since their book was selling. They were too bought into old social values and a backwards sense of what eating out in America is and hadn't realized how much has changed or how much of the nostalgia that people and places sell to other people kinda sells a fictional sense of what things used to be a long time ago. The Roadfood books had a huge influence on the pilot episode and fist seasons of DDD. When Guy Fieri won the Food Network Star and had his first success with DDD and then other shows, he didn't fit what other people's expectations were for a food television host. You wouldn't just switch on to cable television and see a guy with frosted tips and tattoos on the food network, and people with the older social values never accepted the guy or could take him seriously. When you grow older you see it happen in all kinds of places.

Minny switched to the power running offense when it found out its line couldn't do pass protection.

I just read a crazy rumour on RoughingThePasser.Football about Saban.

I didn't watch the season of Food Network star, but half of the show is just the judges staring at the contestants and asking "what's your POV?", "what's your signature dish?", and "how does your POV tie into your signature dish?". And Guy is the only contestant from the show to ever turn into more than just cable tv show pilot episodes. His signature dishes include anything topped with donkey sauce, sushi rolls with chicken tenders wrapped in rice, trash can nachos, brisket bread, I could go on but you guys get the idea.

I thought he was too short to play in college.

Is there anything else on television? Like when a baseball game or a NASCAR race get rained out and they play old movies on the broadcast instead?

The whole concept of "selling out" is a relic of the past decades in music history. Just a real brief moment in the history of music where musicians actually made life changing money and could afford to say no to having their music licensed to something like an ad for cigarettes in South America. When you look at the artists in this thread, its mostly baby boomers and gen-x time period bands, and the social values associated with their aging fanbases.

The movie fails as social commentary. The only notable social issue is the woman wearing pants. The jokes the characters make about them are out of date even for the period.

Jungle Cruise is not an accurate reflection of Amazonian culture.

very new

Its just numbers.

Gotta love local television

I can't tell which team is which when I turn on the game on television.

SOURCE: interim coach Jake Dickert has a kinda funny name.

If they win twice they could make the playoff

Is Lincoln even going to be coaching the game against Oklahoma State later today? Will we have to wait until the teams run out before the game to be sure?

Somebody actually bet on Nebraska football to win a game or beat the spread?

I follow the analytics guys on twitter and they are very high on the efficiency numbers and one of them had spent the past couple days going on about how Nebraska was very good and Iowa is trending down very badly in the efficiency rankings over the past few weeks. The betting numbers with Nebraska being favored made sense to them even though one team is 3-8 and the other is 9-2. Then Adrian Martinez is out for the game on Friday.
