Posted by: SuperHusker17 on March 9, 2010 11:03AM CST Down with the Big 12 Texas conference bam

Posted by: Trashman on March 9, 2010 11:03AM CST 82'd It?

Posted by: Guido on March 9, 2010 11:05AM CST At least Beebe remembers some of what he learned in Business 101. Rotation will keep things competitive and hopefully keep some costs down since these locations have to bid on getting the tournaments or championship games.

Posted by: Outside The Box on March 9, 2010 11:08AM CST You're right. I am happy with this news. Besides, this will all be a moot point when moves to the Big 10, goes to the PAC 10 and this conference merges with the Mountain West.

Posted by: Outside The Box on March 9, 2010 11:18AM CST FYI - if you try to place snarky comments in brackets, the site thinks you're smart enough to do html and blows up your post.

Posted by: Ray in Bellevue on March 9, 2010 11:18AM CST I never have liked these Big 12 post season conference BB tournaments or the conference championship football game. The regular season should be enough to determine who goes where for what, in my opinion. If not, then why play a regular season to begin with? Let's just have exhibition games before the tournaments. That way we would only have one true champion instead of a champion for the regular season and another for the tournament. Ok, so the money is the bottom line, or is it the incessant refusal to just limit a season to a reasonable number of games? Whatever, the reason, it won't change anytime soon, but that doesn't make it right.

Posted by: IM_Hip_Hop on March 9, 2010 12:14PM CST texas and all of their money and influence shouldn't be able to bully the conference into having the game at cowpie stadium permanently. Logic and fairness make it painfully clear that the Big 12 championship game needs to alternate every year between a north site (Arrowhead is perfect - make those wimpy south teams come play in some real man's football weather) and a south site (cowpie stadium is ok). Any other arrangement is plain stupid.

Posted by: SuperHusker17 on March 9, 2010 12:21PM CST I see this as "yes, as of right now it's not going to stay in one place" but only because they haven't had that meeting yet to decide where to put them. Makes all the North people happy yet doesn't exclude the idea of it happening to the South people. Very clever Beebe but I'm onto you.

Posted by: Buzz on March 9, 2010 12:38PM CST I was hoping he would announce a permanent site at mile high stadium

Posted by: Fitzy on March 9, 2010 12:56PM CST Seems how this is a dream session... I wish they would move the Big 12 Football Championship to Hawaii... and the big 12 conference will subsidize airfare and lodging for the fans of the two teams that make it to ensure a sellout. OH YEAHhHHHH.

Posted by: SuperHusker17 on March 9, 2010 1:41PM CST Ha ha so it's a pretty slow day and I saw this when trollin' around on the LJS site. [url=http://www.journalstar.com/lifestyles/article_5723ca68-2619-11df-b316-001cc4c002e0.html][/url] Have to laugh that Omaha is 39th and got a D+. Maybe that explains BJ and Richard. We were 52 here in Lincoln, got a C.

Posted by: SuperHusker17 on March 9, 2010 1:47PM CST Damn, tried to make the link all fancy that you could actually click on but I'm not smart enough. Careful what all you copy and paste if you decide to check it out

Posted by: RocketHusker on March 9, 2010 1:51PM CST I approve, there shouldn't be anchor sites. Case closed in my opinion.

Posted by: Insidious1 on March 9, 2010 2:40PM CST i got my $20 on Osborne looking over Beebe's shoulder saying 'If Texas gets the Football Championship game in Jerryworld every year, were off the the Big 11, to make it the big 12... you can have the southern 6 and whoever else decides to remain. Iowa st. Mizzou, and both Kansas's would love to go to the big 10 i bet. Colorado just wants to go to the Pac 10 to have a competitor in 'bowling'.. i hear Oregon is ia viable rival in that regard. What say you Trashman, is Oregon good enough to bowl w/ Colorado? Bring the Prima Dona's up north in the snow..

Posted by: Insidious1 on March 9, 2010 2:45PM CST Is it just me or does anyone else miss Quentine Castille? Every year it seems that a RB that isn't being talked about sneaks into the fold and 'wows' us. Is it this year for Dontravious Robinson? Go Big Guided Steamroller!

Posted by: Trashman on March 9, 2010 2:45PM CST Insid It will be a champion of tree to decide for sure. It would likely be a pick em'.

Posted by: Insidious1 on March 9, 2010 2:52PM CST Btw, Anyone know if there is a 'midline' triple option that anyone is running where the read is the 3, out of the shotgun 2 back set. Or maybe even a Triple opt screen thingy... with Marcus Mendoza in the slot, Dontravious Robinson as the 'I' and Rex running some WildCat. ??? (baylor did a bit of this last year b4 griffin was hurt, but from a 4 wide set >< )

Posted by: Bumarooskie on March 9, 2010 2:52PM CST That is good news -- for now. Never underestimate the arm twisting power of $$$ to change a hard "no" into a firm "yes." My druthers would be to rotate the football championship between a site in the South and a site in the North. I don't care where in the South (could be Jerryworld and/or the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio) but I'd like to see Mile High Stadium in Denver get into the rotation along with Arrowhead.

Posted by: Insidious1 on March 9, 2010 3:07PM CST that would be a good rotation Buma! Fair for all... hits almost all the corners of the Conference. If all things worked out perfect.. Nebraska could get a NFL team based out of Linoma.. nothing HUGE, just a small stadium ala Oregons new stadium. Nebraksa has sold out for 40 some odd years.... is gearing its tax to 'development' and if the right person owned it, i'm sure it could be a money makin venture. Think 65k max capacity lottery team that picks up say... the likes of Matt O'hanlon, That MLB from Iowa St., Etc. Call it Kansas City Lite.. Bam. North Rotation anyone? Rosenblatt replacement? 101 indeed...

Posted by: Insidious1 on March 9, 2010 3:17PM CST say this hypothetical owner was "IN" with Osborne, supported his teamworks mentoring program with seats longterm for Inner City kids of both Omaha and Lincoln and the stadium had a 'shortage' of seating because they stay 'true' to a large seating donation program. Hrm.. 202.

Posted by: PT Husker on March 9, 2010 4:40PM CST Guess I don't have a dog in this fight cause Odds are I won't be going anyway. An all weather facility makes sense for the fans. comfort sells tickets. It also makes sense to rotate between divisions just for fairness. What to the other major conferences do. Such as SEC.? It is all about Money however. If Jones bids the most he probably wins.

Posted by: Wrestler on March 9, 2010 4:52PM CST No anchor sites, is what it should be, always in the Big 12? We will see, if Beebe caves in later on or not? To be continued? Beebe, doing anything aggressively, about future TV contracts and revenues, for the Big 12? Or, waiting for others, to out hustle him to the dinner table, thus getting the scraps, sort of thing? I think our Big 12 leadership, on a admin level, has not competed well, against the likes of SEC, and Big 10 and so on? A Patton, he isn't? More a Custer type, in my way of thinking? GBR! Zhou Da Hong! GB12! Zhou Da Shier! HK weather report, going on 7 am Wed. morning. 8 degrees Celsius cold very cold, oh the dread of winter? Or 46 degrees Fahrenheit.

Posted by: Wrestler on March 9, 2010 5:02PM CST DBP ALERT! I saw on the Yahoo internet page just now this? 15 Fantastic Higher Education Values 3 schools from Big 12 were included, of these 15? CU and OU and TX.A&M? Interesting reading? GBR! Zhou Da Hong! GB12! Zhou Da Shier! 7 am in HK Wed., got to bicycle for classes and office time, might be on later, with a student, if one so desires to interact will all of you, on the blog at the time? Did this a couple of times before, and both had fun?

Posted by: PT Husker on March 9, 2010 5:19PM CST We will be waiting Wrestler. The way it has been you might be the only one here.

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 5:33PM CST The anchor deal is BS. Every state should get a shot of hosting these things. Just another case of the rich trying to get richer(Dallas and Jimmy) off the backs of equal partners in the conference. That revenue that the cities make off food, drink, and board for the event should be available to all members.

Posted by: drivebyposter on March 9, 2010 5:43PM CST super17 Boulder did not make the list. Shocking. Lot of drunk texans though

Posted by: PT Husker on March 9, 2010 5:44PM CST Unfortunately, the conference could care less who benefits other than themselves. Business and politics is all about greed.

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 6:30PM CST How come they don't have it in Denver? Big 12 FB championship at mile high, I liked that above KC. Too cold for the Texans?

Posted by: Trashman on March 9, 2010 6:36PM CST Drunk Texans or cooked Boulderlanders. These are not less or more than the other. Sheesh. I vote we vote for the new arena and try to get the votes to have it there.

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 6:42PM CST Trash We could all stay with the Driver and have him whine and dine us and protect us from the locals.

Posted by: Low Country Husker on March 9, 2010 6:43PM CST Here's an idea, have it at Denver or KC and on those years just make sure Texas doesn't win the South....problem solved

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 6:44PM CST If Texas doesn't get the call though, they make take their ball and go to another conference

Posted by: Trashman on March 9, 2010 6:47PM CST Gofor DBP protect us?!!? With his cane or golf clubs? And it would have to be prior to 4:19 or we'd be doomed for sure. I would guess his daughters would be a better defense choice.

Posted by: Trashman on March 9, 2010 6:52PM CST Gofor I see you, like me, like to put your picture up as your avatar. I feel like I've known you for years.

Posted by: Busiekcreek on March 9, 2010 6:53PM CST PT, SEC has conference championship game in Atlanta in the Georgia Dome every year. No problems, though it is not near as "Jerryious" as the one in Dallas. Football-all eyes are on Atlanta. Baseball-all eyes are on Omaha.

Posted by: Low Country Husker on March 9, 2010 7:00PM CST In other news who in their right mind wants to go to NY in Dec to watch a bowl game? The Big 12 commish really screwed the pooch on this one....yankee stadium or not that is NOT a good bowl by any stretch of the imagination.

Posted by: drivebyposter on March 9, 2010 7:02PM CST .......Gofor I see you like me, ... tRASH, How arrogant of you............. to assume people like you. BUD this. Mr aflac is on probation. And a bowl for you when you show up. Did you see Freddie? He copied my swing that young one did. Driveby "BOOM-BOOM POSTER"

Posted by: PT Husker on March 9, 2010 7:10PM CST UCONN getting pushed a bit by West Va. 9 point game in the second half.

Posted by: big red 1 on March 9, 2010 7:27PM CST PT: I think Ucon can be beat but we are going to have to do it from off the bench.Everyone brings their a game and title is in the bag.

Posted by: drivebyposter on March 9, 2010 7:46PM CST pt the uconnies look pretty dang good sheesh

Posted by: BleedingRed on March 9, 2010 8:04PM CST UCONN is no different than any other team. They are just better than almost every other team. The better the players that I would play against the better I would play. If the Women get excited to play against the best and they elevate their game accordingly, they will do just fine. I would be absolutely chomping at the bit to get playing time against them. Come on Regionals! I am getting so excited to watch this team play.

Posted by: PT Husker on March 9, 2010 8:21PM CST That team is beyond good. VA got it to 6 and then bam it was over... I have never seen a team men or women that can just take over like that. It is truly amazing.

Posted by: Trashman on March 9, 2010 8:23PM CST During the streak of the UCONN women, they have won by an average of 32.5 points, and only trailed in a little over 3 minutes, 30 secs. They are at a completely different level folks, even to our NU women. Kinda like ol' man river DBP trying to hit his little "beep beep" drives with 007 and myself.

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 8:36PM CST OK Trash you got me, I deserve after getting you last night. I don't believe that is your picture, too close to JC, but maybe, what is it? My pics, had to give a talk recently about the advances in heart care and I showed what I looked like at age 27 when I started now.

Posted by: PT Husker on March 9, 2010 8:42PM CST trash, I would like not to agree with you but I must.. there is not enough Kool aide in the world to change that fact. But it is a game. If they get that far. Ya just never know.

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 8:44PM CST LOL Your my only friend Drive, my other 1 or 2 got lost when the new site was having problems. Just you and me against the world Drive. Are you ready?

Posted by: Wrestler on March 9, 2010 8:45PM CST Hi or What's up! My name is Yeu Mei, I am a female student here at university. I am in Professor's office now. I am from Chongqing China, mainland China is my hometown. I am a junior and I major in Microeconomics. I enjoy Professor's business class very much! Many students audit his classes especially female. I never seen such a strong man in all my life. He is an exciting and funny teacher also. He likes to compare Chinese business sector to USA business sector. Very interesting lectures. I saw his wife to be one day at our university. She is one of the most beautiful women in all of China. They make a good looking couple. I like swimming and hiking. China has many beautiful places for doing both. Hong Kong is a very exciting and beautiful city. My baba is a lawyer and my mama works for CCTV. That is the television station in mainland China. She helps produce entertainment shows on TV. I want to work for a multinational company someday. Professor says this is a sports blog about University of Nebraska college football. I know not soccer but American football. I know nothing about sorry! I know now where Nebraska is? As Professor has a map of USA on his wall in his office so he showed me. I hope to travel someday to USA and want to see Washington DC. I also want to see NYC and see a play on broadway. Professor said you call yourselves Big Red? That's good as it is also China's color too! So I like University of Nebraska then. Maybe I can visit someday. I wish you all happiness! Yeu Mei

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 8:45PM CST PT We smoke UCONN, no problemo

Posted by: Trashman on March 9, 2010 8:46PM CST Gofor I already knew that was you. Marty, Doc and myself talked to you in the Delorean. It was funny to us because we told you that you needed to start saving your brown locks and facial hair cuttings to "reattach" in the future. You were in the "young gun ignore mode". The glasses were keepers however, something must of went wrong there.

Posted by: BleedingRed on March 9, 2010 8:47PM CST UCONN may be good, great and even seen as unbeatable. There is almost always a way to win. There are things that they surely do better than others. There are times when they relax only to turn it on once the other team has expended a large amount of energy. Take away what they want and give them what they do not. Put them in situations that they are not comfortable with. Give their bench players access to the lane but deny that access to the starters that want to live there. Play hard against their proven outside shooters and make the unproven beat you. There are so many things that can be done on so many levels. Coach Yori is not only a really good Coach. She is very smart and wise as well. She will figure out how to get it done.

Posted by: big red 1 on March 9, 2010 8:48PM CST Uconn's ticket will be punched. Nebraska sports all the way.

Posted by: BleedingRed on March 9, 2010 8:48PM CST xià​wǔ hǎo Yeu Mei, gǎn​xiè nín chōu​chū shí​jiān fǎng​wèn wǒ​men jiù xiàng nín qī​dài zháo wǒ​men fǎng​wèn, wǒ​men yě qī​dài zháo yǔ nín fǎng​wèn. běn​rén dí bào​qiàn zhì​yú wǒ​de bù​dàng shǐ​yòng de nín yǔ​yán. nǐ​de yǔ​yán shì fēi​cháng hào dì. wǒ xiǎng liǎo, yán​jiū tā. qù dà hóng​sè! Wrestler, Please let Yeu Mei know that I prepared this for him but do not, yet, speak the language.

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 8:52PM CST Welcome, Yeu Mei That's a beautiful name, thanks for the info. Your professor is a genius. Highly regarded in the US of A, He's very famous over here, you're very lucky to have him. We wish he would came back because he owes Busie a pig.

Posted by: drivebyposter on March 9, 2010 8:53PM CST Yeu Mei Welcome to the blog. It is a very strange group here. Non stranger than the man who calls himself trashman. Most people who "talk" on here use there profession as their screen name. Trash, as we call him for short, is a perfect example. If you check out all the names you will see what I mean. The muscles on your professor are glued on plastic. Really, take a close look. It is how they do it in the "land of the wagon drivers" and that is the truth. Enjoy your classes. People like PT and NONO and Ray, went to their last class about 50 years ago. Go Big China

Posted by: Trashman on March 9, 2010 8:53PM CST Yeu Mei Tell Professor that he is strong, but not Trashman or FU strong. Okay, that is 50% true.

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 8:54PM CST Trash LMAO So that recurring dream I have was true!

Posted by: PT Husker on March 9, 2010 8:57PM CST Welcome Yeu Mei. So nice of you to join us. You have an excellent command of our language so you are 1 up on us already. I am sure you will be a success in your chosen field. Don't believe anything Your teacher says about us. We are really pretty nice folks. (that is a joke.. We like him OK as well)

Posted by: big red 1 on March 9, 2010 8:58PM CST Yeu Mei, welcome to the blog. Yes we may be a little strange here but all good.

Posted by: Trashman on March 9, 2010 8:58PM CST Yeu Mei DBP is as old as PT, Ray and Nono, but is in age paralysis. I blame myself for the" ride of the Delorean". Your professor does not use glue for the muscles. It is actually "mighty putty". DBP is dated in this and probably still uses "elmers".

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 8:58PM CST Kudos on the Chinese Bleed, maybe your sons are wrong, you seem half way with it. Kudos. That's Japanese.

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 9:02PM CST Yeu Mei My pictures show me at the bottom 10 years ago and at the top now. I rediscovered an ancient secret for restoring youth. Stay tuned and I will post a link to where you can purchase this potion for a small fee.

Posted by: BleedingRed on March 9, 2010 9:02PM CST Gofor2, Well, I hope that it is mostly correct because I can not find anywhere to translate it to English. :)

Posted by: big red 1 on March 9, 2010 9:04PM CST Trash: When was the last time you were in school?

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 9:06PM CST Bleed I hope you haven't started an international incident by accidentally insulting someone.

Posted by: PT Husker on March 9, 2010 9:07PM CST Yeu, If you can not tell, we do have some fun on here. Teasing each other is definitely allowed. and praising your teacher will raise your grade for sure.

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 9:12PM CST Yeu, one thing you need to understand, all of us American men are big and strong like the Professor, in fact he wouldn't hold a candle to guys like I/H, PT, Drive, Trash and GBRTX is a monster. Ever here of Paul Bunyon, well GBRTX is bigger and stronger.

Posted by: Trashman on March 9, 2010 9:13PM CST BR1 2001

Posted by: BleedingRed on March 9, 2010 9:14PM CST Gofor2, Me too! I tried to be very polite and even appologized for my poor use of her language. Unfortunately, I addressed her as him. For all I know of Chinese customs I may already be in the dog house. :)

Posted by: PT Husker on March 9, 2010 9:17PM CST Yea, Gofor2 is correct. The professor, Known as wrestler, is a wimp in comparison. I for example lift well over 200 pounds every time I get up from my chair.

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 9:18PM CST Here's the link to my youth potion for those that want to look and feel 35 yrs younger: WWW.thisisaacamyousucker.americanmedicalassociation.orgy

Posted by: PT Husker on March 9, 2010 9:18PM CST Why is it that when ever one of professors students are on here, it is a girl?

Posted by: big red 1 on March 9, 2010 9:19PM CST Wow trash I feel real old now.

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 9:20PM CST LOL PT May be your best post ever. Kudos

Posted by: big red 1 on March 9, 2010 9:22PM CST PT well on tv the professer always gets the girls. Ha ha only kidding

Posted by: drivebyposter on March 9, 2010 9:22PM CST hehe pt, and thats not bad for being 5'4" And always ignore trash. It is the fumes from his work. Works hard on the brain. He believes he has a flux capacitor and that cody green will be the starting qb for the corn. Corn is the real name, big red is liquor induced

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 9:23PM CST Don't forget folks Operators are standing by to take your orders for the potion. Get it while it's hot and still available.

Posted by: Trashman on March 9, 2010 9:23PM CST BR1 Don't worry, you're not alone on here. PT's got me doubled. Gofor's my great uncle. DBP still hits "woods". Sheeeesh.

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 9:27PM CST Trash Ah contrair, I used to be 58, but now 27. I'm younger then you are.

Posted by: big red 1 on March 9, 2010 9:28PM CST Gofer I'm at 45 but feel 20. does that count?

Posted by: drivebyposter on March 9, 2010 9:28PM CST and hits em straight and far. Course trash would not know what that means. Go big bud

Posted by: Trashman on March 9, 2010 9:32PM CST B17.......I28........N33.........G45........O55 Oops, PT likes Canasta. Straight and far, unknown words to Lee........

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 9:33PM CST That's a start 1, but you need the potion, those pictures are proof beyond a shadow of a doubt the stuff works. This stuff makes trumps Geritol big time pal.

Posted by: big red 1 on March 9, 2010 9:34PM CST good one trash.

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 9:34PM CST Is Kansas going all the way in mens?

Posted by: big red 1 on March 9, 2010 9:36PM CST If they shoot well then I say yes.Kansas is big and phisical not very many teams can hang with them.

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 9:38PM CST What have you got against Bingo Trash? It's exciting, fast paced, requires mental skills and beans. Jeesh

Posted by: PT Husker on March 9, 2010 9:39PM CST Well, know that we have all made basic idiots of our selves, it is time to got to bed. America is not all as goofy as we are Yeu Mei. But they do not have as much fun either. Enjoy the rest of your class.

Posted by: Gofor2 on March 9, 2010 9:40PM CST Haven't seen 'em play this year, who else is in the mix?

Posted by: big red 1 on March 9, 2010 9:42PM CST Well it's just like I tell my wife. I never drive faster than I can see and it is all in the reflexes.That just driver her nuts

Posted by: PT Husker on March 9, 2010 9:42PM CST KU is looking really good. Seeing as that school paid my daughter a lot of money to play a game I kind of like them.

Posted by: PT Husker on March 9, 2010 9:44PM CST Gofor. Kentucky for sure. Duke as usual. and surprisingly K state could do well.

Posted by: big red 1 on March 9, 2010 9:45PM CST I have always liked Kansas basket ball. This is where Nebraska needs to set the bar for mens bb. Arena will help but not 100% solve all.GBR

Posted by: drivebyposter on March 9, 2010 9:45PM CST PT Speak for yourself and Trash. nighty nighty Trash you would be cluess as to long and straight. Now the General, compared to your sidewinder looks like Peyton hisself. And of course he is as smart as Brees Brees and manning and the general oh my

Posted by: PT Husker on March 9, 2010 9:46PM CST NU mens basketball needs to find the pit before they can set any bars.

Posted by: big red 1 on March 9, 2010 9:48PM CST well they say when there is a will there is a way.Hoping for somday does not hurt.

Posted by: big red 1 on March 9, 2010 9:49PM CST I think they found the pit. can't get much lower.

Posted by: Trashman on March 9, 2010 9:49PM CST Gofor Kentucky and Syracuse would be my favorites. My sleepers over a month ago were Purdue and Maryland in your brackets. Purdue lost Hummel, and now Maryland is at the top of the ACC. So much for early sleeper picks..... Oh well. Watch Maryland, though. Good PG, and the other guards coming along nicely. Sweet 16 for sure, and I'm venturing to Elite 8-Final 4 land.

Posted by: Wrestler on March 9, 2010 10:06PM CST Bleeding Red, sorry Professor in a meeting I just come back to his office and see your message. I no understand your translation too much. But I try ok? I check with Professor later but no here to help me. Yeu Mei Good afternoon thankyou time to visit us want us to visit them the words you say makes some uncomfortable? Sorry you say sth. you like to investigate? Go Big Red's All you kind to me as I left with friends and now back but no Professor sorry. He is very busy now. You all seem nice as Professor is also. I need to run for lunch now. Yeu Mei

Posted by: Ray in Bellevue on March 10, 2010 1:28AM CST Bleeding Red. Sind Sie ein Student von Chinesish? Die Sprache ist unmoeglich zu lernen. Ich mag ihre Gespraech uber unseren Fussball und anderen Sports. Wenn Sie dieses verstehen, lassen Sie mich wissen, bitte.

Posted by: Wrestler on March 10, 2010 5:36AM CST BR, it is now past 7 pm HK time? I just got back from workout with FU? Yeu Mei, told me you sent a message in garbled chinese from a translator package of some software in USA? As Coach, experienced with us the packages you have often in USA, are very simple and not practical to spoken language here? They also can be confusing, as "Pinyin" is a roman alphabet system, adapted for chinese characters? And combos sometimes, are confusing or means sth. entirely different, to the different dialects spoken here, in Putonghua or Guangdonghua? So not easy to plug in some phrases, and have meaning? Yeu Mei, said she was confused with what you said, and I can see her consternation, as if she tries like GF/KW tried, for Coach in a literal fashion to here, it doesn't make sense? So she felt bad? I put her on and explained how blog works for message, and had to run to a meeting and on to classes, in afternoon and workout later with FU, so sorry I wasn't there to assist her? By the way all classes unless a chinese class is given in english at our university so students are quite proficient at english? In fact we are connected to three universities for exchange programs in USA and others in differing countries? The 3 are on east coast Cornell, midwest Northwestern and west coast Stanford? So our students study at these universities from time to time? As they also come here? Now, looking at your wording, and trying to guess, what it is you're intending, from this translation, here is my best guess, to what you wrote BR? Good afternoon Yeu Mei Thankyou for taking the time to visit us we look forward to visiting you I am sorry about my improper language to you Your english is very good I want to study or understand it Go Big Reds Believe me, I have to guess your intended phrases, as I can see it confused her, or my GF?KW, when she looked at it tonight, also? Our translations, for chinese in USA is very confusing at times, for chinese here in China, just the way it is? At least, that is what I think you're trying to say BR, as in guessing on a lot, of the incorrect phrasing? GBR! Zhou Da Hong! GB12! Zhou Da Shier!

Posted by: PT Husker on March 10, 2010 8:11AM CST Well, the men open (and probably close0 their tourney try today. No TV that I am aware of. At least not out here. Heres to them giving it a good shot. At least play well and let the chips fall where thy may.

Posted by: SuperHusker17 on March 10, 2010 8:27AM CST You mean you're not on the bandwagon of 'we were just saving up all our good play to be the underdog and win the Big 12 tourney to get into the dance and make a run' school of thought?

Posted by: PT Husker on March 10, 2010 8:30AM CST Super, That is funny. I will regard keeping it close a victory.

Posted by: SuperHusker17 on March 10, 2010 8:39AM CST Doc, the biggest mastermind of all time, fooling us all just to make him all that much more valuable.

Posted by: BleedingRed on March 10, 2010 8:42AM CST Wrestler, You almost translated it exactly. That could not have been easy. I suspected as much about the Pinyin. Even the accentuated marks above each character completely change it's meaning. Bear in mind that I did that in about 10 minutes and did the best that I could in that time. The only part that did not come across correctly is that when I said language I meant the Chinese language not the English language. I now know that they follow the word for language with an identifier for the country. wo bu shi! But I will get it eventually. :) Zou Da Hong!

Posted by: PT Husker on March 10, 2010 8:52AM CST Bleeding, At least you tried. Nice effort. sounds like Wrestler was not in the classroom when she got on the blog

Posted by: PT Husker on March 10, 2010 9:14AM CST Bleeding. wo bu shi sounds suspiciously American!!!!. :)

Posted by: BleedingRed on March 10, 2010 9:44AM CST Thanks PT. No one, I would think, wants to butcher anyone's language. I personally really like it when anyone that does not speak English attempts to learn it. I know they are going to butcher it. Heck, most American do, including myself. I always try to help them and encourage them to do so. I am currently working with a guy from Ecuador. He still enthusiastically uses formal English with impeccable manners. I always ask him if he understands what I am saying when I use a phrase or figure of speech. 95% of the time he does not understand the meaning and 100% of the time I explain it to him in terms that are familiar to him. He always says the same thing. "Thank you my friend." :) As far as "wo bu shi" you could translate it to mean that I suck. :) I have already learned a lot in just a couple of hours. Give me a few weeks.

Posted by: PT Husker on March 10, 2010 9:45AM CST Nice article in the OWH about the QB co9mpetition. Watson will be in watch and analyze mode. Lots of opportunities for the younguns to show their stuff.

Posted by: Trashman on March 10, 2010 10:15AM CST PT I like what I'm hearing about Green. Sounds like he'll be the clear cut number 1 starting QB for NU in the fall. This is good news.

Posted by: PT Husker on March 10, 2010 10:20AM CST Trash, that could be an assumption on your part. He is the much better athlete. Or it would appear that way. Which ever way it goes we should have a capable backup this fall so we do not have to go into hibernation if someone gets hurt. General Lee. Admiral Green. After all Nebraska does have a Navy.

Posted by: RockHusker on March 10, 2010 10:21AM CST Hey PT - you still on??

Posted by: PT Husker on March 10, 2010 10:22AM CST Howdy Rock. What up?

Posted by: PT Husker on March 10, 2010 10:30AM CST Rock If ya need me I will be on the new thread.

Posted by: Wrestler on March 10, 2010 2:38PM CST BR, I am sorry, if I came across wrong in my previous comments, above for translation? Of course, it was cool, that you tried to communicate to her this way? Your intent was great? As you're a class act, so I appreciate the effort? But you got it, the accents and other things, can be confusing? When I first met GF/KW and went back to the States, apart for periods of time, we too tried translators, to extreme headaches of misunderstanding? The chinese study their own language, both in speaking and writing throughout their entire school careers, as that is how complicated a language, it can be at times? So these software packages of translation and communication sold in USA, after living over here, I now have come to realize, is sort of a joke for all intent and purposes, and 9 times out of 10 confuses the chinese person, as to really what you want to say? I do appreciate all and their comments to her, but she was caught up in trying to translate, your writing the best that she could BR, and so couldn't respond to others as well in english? So therefore. it was my fault as this time. I left her alone in my office. due to other commitments, and that was my bad, for not being with her, to help her and soforth? Her english and understanding is quite good? GBR! Zhou Da Hong! GB12! Zhou Da Shier!
