Need a Verne Gagne suplex to Mad Dog Machone (sp?).
How did you escape Mad Dog’s pretzel hold? It’s never been done before. “Well I looked up and I saw a big hairy scrotum dangling in front of my face so I bit it as hard as I could…..You would be amazed what you can do when you bite your own balls.”

Mad Dog Vachon. Real name was Maurice.
Watched him many times live and on t.v. and he actually liked to hurt wrestlers for real.

Slightly OT but one of my friends for many years was former pro wrestler "The Mad Russian" Stan Pulaski. He was well liked on the Nebraska horseracing circuit. You had to know several years prior, he would have been a real handful in a bar.

I missed the news because of the ignore feature. Kong is pregnant? Somehow I believe that. The mood swings, irrationality, and bringing up interactions that happened years ago makes a lot more sense knowing he has a ******. Congrats Kong.
Men can get pregnant ?

Your response has Chris Farley written all over it, I just can't figure out but damn that made me laugh.

I had heard back in the day that if you attended wrassling matches up north, Vachon was the good guy and Gagne was the bad guy.

My mother-in-law now in her mid 90s was CRAZY about watching wrestling on TV back in the day. Here’s this prim and proper grandma just losing her mind yelling at the TV watching huge guys in Spandex🤣
The generation before her the wrestling was actually real.

So…. Ask a question about any info on (another) line injury. This board goes to attacking coaches kids, pro rasslin, and a dude being knocked up. Sounds about right. I’d say something about Kongs supposed kid on the way, but it’s likely not his. His lady is the town bicycle

And they never mention his name when EJ runs over his side and gains 5-7 yards….
The way the O has trended during the season has been favorable to Corcoran. Pritchett practiced today. Hopefully they stay up right and finish this thing out.

When was the last time you said anything remotely positive about anyone let alone one of our players? Try not to be such a miserable prick. It’s exhausting reading your whining.
Awww are you gonna cry now, gimpy?

Corc sucks, Pritchett is soft, Donnie is a pox on our program

Deal with those facts however best suits you, but spare us the made up fan fiction.

I’m aware. You are also gonna get mocked and **** on for sharing actual true things. Some things never change for the usual suspects
Used to dislike that response, but there’s 3 or 4 here that if you use that feature, makes the board way better. I’m sure I’m one too, because most of the same ilk as Kong don’t like hearing truth and facts

Nah. I get some strange satisfaction out of reading his misery. I guess it reinforces my outlook on life. Maybe it’s just resignation to the fact that nothing is ever perfect and some people choose to wallow in negativity. When someone’s whole demeanor is dictated by a loss to USC…. I admit it gets me down for a few hours or a day, but I’m not inclined to trash our players and coaches for days on end as if I could do better.

My deal is wading through post after post of idiotic baiting and Dunning Krugering. I waste too much time here as it is, so I pre-emptively clean things up. There is a dude that posts great links and I had him ignored for a time, but took him off because I was missing a lot of interesting stuff.

When the crazy chimp isn’t losing his mind he can make some interesting contributions. Putting him on ignore would just allow him to go on his maniacal rants without anybody challenging him Besides, it’s kind of fun to see if he can come up with some new name to call me. Clearly some of us bother him a lot more than he bothers us. 😉

I continue to go along with the premise "prove it" with this team and program. I mentioned several things this team needed to overcome before there were reasons to get too high on our progress. Questions like beating a good football team, coming from behind and beating a good football team, beating a good team on the road, etc. Not until those things are proven do I consider this program moving upward in a meaningful fashion.

Okay, so NU beat a good Cincy team in the opener, our best win by far this year. Cincy rolled for several weeks then got drilled 45-14 by Utah last week to fall to 7-2. They finish with Arizona, BYU and TCU, so likely they finish 9-3 but more likely 8-4, still a solid team similar to last year's Colorado win at home.

Now, NU gets to take on a new set of things to prove. Are they ready to go on the road and win without their incumbent QB who is replaced by an unproven freshman? UCLA is not the juggernaut people are suggesting. They have transformed with the new coaching staff, but they are 3-5 and coming off a 50 point drubbing against IND. Not only that, after their NU game this weekend, they finish with OSU, WASH and USC, so UCLA looks like a 4-8 or 3-9 unit. Why shouldn't NU be able to go to California and beat a ballclub like this? I see no reason why we won't win.

This is and has been a team and program that can't live with even moderate success. They get into the Top 25 only to be summarily bounce out in a big way. The idea this was ever a potential CFP team was laughable. Now NU is rated about # 35, that's a helluva long way from being in the top 12 and making the playoffs. When you talk that sh*t like Rhule does it makes you wonder how good they actually are at evaluating our talent vs other teams talent. Eventually Matt will realize you don't just get to talk things into existence.

I suppose giving him something to do counts as a s a form of board service.

I know. No moral victories but USC is a pretty talented team with a dynamic QB. I thought we showed progress in that game albeit our backup QB didn’t perform as I had hoped. Hopefully with a week of #1 reps he’ll be better. Dana can game plan around his strengths. I believe TJL is going to have to beat them with his arm because they’ll sell out to stop the run. Yeah commit to the run probably 60% or more of the time but he HAS to hit passes other than bubble screens.

Its no different that a baseball pitcher. So the pitcher doesn't go to the mound for several weeks, then all of a sudden is thrust into a high pressure situation, calling for his best stuff. The mental part, unless you're a pro whose been through that is pretty daunting.

A pitcher can throw a "bullpen" (i.e. practice reps) every 4-5 days but its a lot different throwing to opposing hitters. Now, we get to say, TJ you're starting the game in 4 days and the mental/physical preparation is totally different, (he has to get used to getting hit again.) No doubt, he is totally locked in and that makes a helluva difference.

I agree, TJ will need to throw well enough to make UCLA honor that as a threat. I think the kid can do it, I mean all Dylan did most of the time was throw 5-10 yard dink passes and was able to move us down the field against better defensive teams than the Bruins.

NU has to have a great effort on defense and we can't afford to let Niko hurt us with his legs.

Everyone here introduces their own Kong fantasies about my personal life because there’s absolutely nothing you can say to dispute my 100% correct and factual posts about Nebraska Football.

grasping at straws on an anonymous message board dedicated to college football fandom while at the same time posting about being too cool to be a big college football fan.

not sure there’s anything sadder.
