Yeah, they were about 30 minutes late on the F-22. I got there at 1:30, so I was glad they were behind a bit. It gave us a chance to get settled in for the show.

That was the most incredible thing I've ever seen as far as planes go. I hadn't seen the F-22 fly yet. It was mind-blowing.

Yeah, that was pretty much what my kids wanted to see along with the Blue Angels. The F-22 put on a great show for sure. That's a bad hombre.

Personally I can watch any of them. I like the rumble of the old WWII prop bombers and fighters just as much as modern jet engines.
When I hear them, it gives me the upmost respect for the crews that flew long bombing runs in those things while getting shot full of holes by enemy fighters.

Same here. I was a little disappointed this year because I felt like there were a lot less WWII planes than there used to be. My great uncle was a B-17 pilot that was killed over Germany so I've been interested in that era for as long as I can remember.

Well Fitzgerald just ensured a sellout for at least one game this year...nothing beats having to go to a silent count at home, right?

Former Husker Carl Nicks has retired from NFL. Sounds like maybe he could return if his foot injury gets better but it sounds unlikely.

Are there any Insurance Sales positions open?

A lot of ex-Husker players sell insurance, or are in other types of sales. As former Huskers they've already got your attention/respect, etc...

At least that's why I think so many of them do it.

Crouch sold playground equipment...

Got it. Makes sense.

Last seasons Northwestern @ Nebraska football game is on BTN.

What an ugly piece of work.

Kellogg just threw an INT that led to NW going up 21-7 with 10:00 remaining in the 2nd Q.

Fair catch Westerkamp at the NU 13. 2:00 remaining in the 3rd.

21-21

How many times have we seen that?

Game is very frustrating to watch. I still think TA is the best passer we have had in a long time. Nebraskas oline is piss poor weakest link in the chain imo. Nebraska is just not very good.

It's just a poorly coached team in a number of ways. I don't care how much talent you have or what your recruiting classes are ranked. If your coach can't put all the pieces together you're a third tier program at best.

Case in point....USC (Smith/Robinson/Hacket/Kiffen), Texas (McWilliams/Mackovic), Florida (Zook/Muschamp), Ohio St (Cooper), Michigan (Rodriguez/Hoke), Alabama (Shula), Oklahoma (Gibbs/Blake).

Of course assistant coaches have a lot to do with it. If you're keeping assistant coaches around and the positions they're in charge of aren't producing, it falls on you as a head coach.
