JK. There's a little bit more news now. Tiny news. Just rumors of both McCord and Raiola looking at Nebraska, and Jeff Sims went back in the Portal.

My algorithmic feeds on other platforms are blowing up, telling me this is finally the turning point for Nebraska, and I am carefully dosing 10 mL of Kool-Aid to sip on.

All good, figured you'd be interested to know it's not a Jerboa only problem. I appreciate the effort you put into this post.

And yep, Nebraska fan. I'm aware of two entering in December so far: John Goodwin, walk-on TE, and Jake Appleget, redshirt freshman who bounced around offense, defense, and special teams.

Myles Farmer entered the portal earlier in the fall and I think might already be with another team. Defensive Back, left after being suspended for "not meeting standards" according to Rhule. I do like how Rhule doesn't spill a lot of tea when players go through personal challenges.

Scam. If you do order something to test it out, set up a virtual credit card and trash it afterwards.

I'm on Boost and same; neither spoiler tags nor table format is working.

I immediately dislike how much digging through their site it takes to see it on a real human head, https://www.hedkayse.com/#_

Makes me suspicious that it looks super awful or that it's not a finished design.

I could kinda understand not going out of their way to test on Linux, there are probably not that many users overlapping with MLR fans. But taking away an already functional service? Weird.

Head: NZ by a try

Heart: RSA by a try after holding the lead the entire second half

Arse: RSA bench collapses and we see a scoreline more reminiscent of NZ v USA.

Super Arse: RSA down at the half. Matt Damon shows up in their locker room to give the inspirational rallying speech. RSA wins 15-12 in overtime. Matt Damon tweets that racism has been cured and then gets cancelled for the next month until everyone forgets and moves on.

Double checking to make sure this is a RWC semi final match... yep 😞

Ope, thought the game started on the hour. Go Huskers, hopefully more on top of it than I am.

French crowd is cheering for England way more than I thought they would, even w RSA as reason for their exit.

I went 1-3 in the quarters. Very surprised at my placement. Most disappointed that France's run is over.

Handle is the same 😊

Right? I'll be lucky if half my original predictions for semi-final pans out.

Yep, happy to see Sanders shake things up and show dusty olds how to leverage the portal and NIL, just wish he wasn't helping Colorado.

And even if I didn't like Sanders, maybe I found his personality and branding and constant hype to be irritating, that's the kind of coach I want to root against. Not because a coach is diddling kids or abusing players. Give me a wholesome baddie to root against, but also a little bit for because he's still a guy who is net good to the game and to his players.

I bet an exception for mid-term enrollment will magically appear if a player with enough stars after their name asks nicely.

Doop de doop. Whatcha doing during the pause for lightning?

Let's go "Choo-buh", I guess. Lol, who sees "Chubba" and pronounces it "Choo-buh".

Sack, to running QB TD. Good ol' Nebraska, triggering heart attacks in fans.

Welp. Here's hoping N can make a substantial reset over half time.

One could even say they are making chicken salad. Whatever that means.

Howdy. Just now hunting for an Huskers or CFB community alt to reddit. Good to see some folks on, even if it's only two. I'm going to keep searching, holler if you find a more active community please and I'll do the same.

The Free Jacks podcast had an episode interviewing the owner of the Free Jacks a while ago. He was involved with the investment group that took over ATL in the interim. Obviously he's going to tell a good story and spin a specific narrative, but he seemed pretty clear he was in it only temporarily to try to keep ATL from folding and that they were out as soon as they found the right owner. He talked about not wanting to own two teams, that he didn't think it was good for the league (ahem, small shade thrown at Gilchrist there).

Coetzer made 2nd team. Which yeah, despite the excess of NE and SD players on first team, I have to put Potroz over Coetzer. Alatimu didn't even make the Honorable Mention list.

No, I usually start in the morning. Coffee for me, too early for beer.

Are you in the US? Pretty sure I've seen a kit or two on Adventures in Homebrewing.

Gorgeous.

Please add a "." after th "V" in "A.B.V". Thank you.

Does anyone else find it weird that so many articles about the championship have a photo of Sad Nonu instead of New England players holding the shield?

If he had any one of those back, the outcome could have been SD on top. What a match.

Huzzah!

Huh? I thought MLR didn't allow for more than one scrum reset.

Ope, San Diego goofs.

Two minutes left. Does San Diego goof or does NE get a penalty?

Let's see the replay a couple more times. Not because the try call was questionable, just to revel in that close by Balekana.

What an exciting half. Can't ask for much more in a championship match.

Ha, I feel the same about NEFJ. Clean it up! Says the person sipping a drink from their air conditioned living room.

The Connect app is ignoring the spoiler tags too. And Jerboa too. Bummer.

Balekana brings the BOOM

The exponential improvement in teams' kicking games since the start of MLR is impressive.

Lol, fair. It was mostly to try out their spoiler tag formatting. I don't really like it from the browser, will have to see what it looks like from mobile apps later.
