    A View of the Foundation Work on the New Ryan Field

    The crews expected a couple of boulders from the ridge, but they were surprised at the extent. This map shows just the east side. They updated it a few days before the tour; it was already out of date by Thursday. Crews had already encountered several more by then. Boulder Map of Ryan Field...

    Re: live cam-- I asked this during demolition. A well-connected source told me that the crew was about to install one. However, it never happened. I suspect there might be a legal issue, maybe liability or union-based. Not sure.

    Remembering Bob Cox

    That's true: it was peak shenanigans. There were a few threads that boggled the mind.

    Remembering Bob Cox

    Oh, no, the Purple Board. Yes, it is archived. No, I won't link to it, because it was garbage. Bob would, I think, agree. Bob and I set that damn thing up in January 2003-- he was the public face for it, and I ran the code and moderated from behind the curtain. We both regretted it intensely...

    1989

    Like TheC, I was also a sophomore that fall. It was the Dark Ages, so expectations were very low. 1989 was the middle of "The Little Streak" (the losing streak of 1988-'90), and, yes, it sucked. But there were a few bright spots. As mentioned above, Buchanan and Christian were in the offense...

    Scott Frost says his offensive line vomits 15 to 20 times per practice

    That almost matches the number of times the average 'Husker fan vomits during one of their games.

    Very sad news to share…

    Terrible news. I first met Jerry in person at the 2000 Alamo Bowl (but knew him online for a few years before) and got to meet up with him occasionally for bowl and other games afterwards. He was a blast--a funny guy, a true diehard 'Cat fan, and a helluva nice person. RIP, Jerry. All of your...
