A short list of things bradhusker must stop saying...

[Van]

"How do ya like dem apples?"

Unless you're either Bugs Bunny or Matt Damon, you simply do not get to use this phrase. This is especially true when you trotted it out fourteen times before the first game, only to see your team get destroyed.

"I've done extensive research on...."

No, you haven't. Trolls eat maggot-filled gruel in dank caves. They don't google.

"We're gonna run the ball right down your girly throats!"

No, you're not. You never do, then you compound it by never coming correct afterwards and admitting that you neither ran the ball nor defended the other team's rushing game worth a shit. Come the next week, you develop amnesia and trot out the same empty threats again.

"The Blackshirts will put your QB in the hospital!"

Unless it's through the passing of a sexually transmitted disease as a result of letting the other team's offense pull a three-hour train on them, no, they won't. What they will do is give up yards and points in very large bunches.

"I have just destroyed you with my facts, and it wasn't even difficult."

Only Dins gets to make this silly claim, mainly due to the over-the-top panache with with he executes such boasts. What you do is vainly pound your chest even as your opponent blithely pounds your ass. It's quite unbecoming.

Knock it off.

[smackaholic]

I'd settle for anything containing "the KING".

[Mace]

You guys actually read his/her posts?

[poptart]

If the admins are going to continue to let him 'tard up the board, at least they should instruct the m0ds to do with his posts ---> what Jon Stewart mockingly said Herman Cain wanted to do with treaties.
Have them fit on the back of a cereal box.

All bradhusker posts must fit on the back of a cereal box.

Or better yet, also courtesy of Stewart, all bradhusker posts must fit inside a fortune cookie.

Edit and condense the words of his high-fever rants so that they we can get the core message without having to read (or scroll) the endless poser bullshit.
Something like this:

I am girly pussy SMASHMOUTH sissy. So be a man and pound rock down throat. Mine. Apple. I take it.

[R-Jack]

Words.

[Smackie Chan]

All bradhusker posts must fit on the back of a cereal box.

These boxes.

all bradhusker posts must fit inside a fortune cookie.

Even better.

[Cuda]

how about anything with a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,or z in it?

Don't entice him to speak in 101010101001001

It could get worse.

["I have just destroyed you with my facts, and it wasn't even difficult."

I'd love to see a link to where I've ever done this.


Yeah, Van... claiming BODE is definitely my style (in your fantasy world).

[Van]

Dins, you cannot seriously sit there and try to act like you haven't claimed "Bode!" right in the middle of the discussion a million times over the years. Your usual way of doing so is to inform the person that you've just "clowned them" or some such before telling them to STFU before you make them look even worse.

It's your hard-and-fast M.O. in any given debate. You simply use more acerbic verbiage than bradhusker ever could to say the same thing.

[Dinsdale]

Dins, you cannot seriously sit there and try to act like you haven't claimed "Bode!" right in the middle of the discussion a million times over the years.

You cannot seriously claim I've done it once.


If there's a "million" examples, surely you can provide one, right?

What a revisionist historian you are.


Nothing could be further from my MO.

[poptart]

If Van and Dinsdale are going to begin a flame war, can the mods please step in and enforce the "cereal box" rule on them, also?

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

Back of a cereal box can fit a lot of text.

Only takes about 4 words of a bradhusker post for me not to read.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

All this talk of cereal is making me hungry. As it pertains to bradhusker, it's easier to just click "Move" then "T.R.O.T.S."

[Dinsdale]

All this talk of cereal is making me hungry.

So befitting you should be CORN FED.

Longing for the days of the REAL bradhusker.....with all those porterhouses, to-go boxes and bear hands being corn-fed and reared in NYC.

WHY? He sucked tepid balls, too. As a Huskers fan, is that really how you want to be represented?

H-
Think about it? What happened to me, happened to our team. Back in 95, the blackshirts REALLY would put your girly, sissy, fag team in the hospital. Right now, we have a softer, less frightenning version of NEBRASKA FOOTBALL, and as the team goes, so goes bradhusker.

Dude, its ALL psychological and dripping with symbolic nostalgia, HUSKER FANS are all longing for the days when our team would line up and just punch your team in the face, literally smash your teeth in, smash em' right the fuck in!
Thats why they long for the old bradhusker, cause the old bradhusker means the return of the ALL TIME JAUGERRNAUTT!! The smashmouth powerhouse NEBRASKA FOOTBALL program.
Give Pellini some time, I promise you that in a very short time, the Huskers will return to a powerhouse program, the likes of which will instill FEAR in the hearts of every single big ten team.
I fuckin PROMISE you that this will happen, and sooner than you think.
We will OWN the big ten.

Van-
I agree with MOST everything you've said, except for one thing, "ive done extensive research",
While it is indeed true that I havent done extensive research on most things? (who has?)
There is one subject where I have. IN FACT, you could just go ahead and give me the PhD.
The subject? The Life and Music of Elvis Presley. aka. The King.

Trust me on this, 30 plus years of painstaking and even groundbreaking research on the icon to end ALL icons.
My dream is to teach a graduate level course on the king, and his cultural impact on society. Which will continue for generations to come.
You guys should feel lucky to have me on this board, YOU have before you, the world's foremost expert on the music and life of the king of rock n roll. Think about it? Ive done the research, all you have to do is soak up the knowledge.

WHAT? why would you think im a raider fan? Hell no, Besides, this is college football, if you want NFL, go over to the NFL board.

Because he was funnier than shit. Btw...I realize that the happenings on this board must have a butterfly effect and send shockwaves around the world, but I don't think the actions of one KNOWN troll invalidates the reputation of Husker fans or represents them in anyway.

If it does, I may have to create a Trojantard troll.

[H4ever]

We will buy ALL your 5 stars right out of your crib when it comes to recruiting! We will supply naked coeds with their vaginas stuffed full of the best chronic the west coast medical marijuana clinics have to offer on every visit! How ya like dem apples?

GOOBER, can we get down to brass tacks here? Lets face reality here, BIG TIME college football is the very REASON we are all gathered here. Sure we may talk about sex, politics, hot ass chicks, current events, history, science, hot pussies, religion, tits and ass, black holes, wesley snipes, Halle Berry, and so on and so forth, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY? Its ALWAYS been and ALWAYS will be, about BIG TIME, SMASHMOUTH POWER DIV. 1 FOOTBALL.
Everything else is just icing on the cake. Dont kid yourself, when push comes to shove, the thread that binds us all together? Big time college football.
In fact, without Big time Div 1 college football, a good 75 percent of those of us in here, would probably committ Harey Carey. You know, swallow a bullett.

Haha. You could throw a dart in the 'Chive and couldn't help hit U & L Bode paydirt.

In this November 7, 2009 post, notice the subtle geography smack sandwiched between a cliche m2ool reference and a ho-hum weather bode stiff arm:

I will be taking my kids to this: http://www.carnegiemnh.org/programs/whales.htm

Not to go all M2, but...

Weird. 'Round these parts, when we wanna check out whales, we go to the beach and hike out on a cape and watch them go by...

Not today or anything, since I'm much too busy building an ark... nice day for Oregon to be playing somewhere besides the northwestern part of Oregon.

No bradhuskah for sure.

Relax, Dinsy. Van was sticking up for you.

[Goober McTuber]

GOOBER, can we get down to brass tacks here?

The figurative expression 'getting down to brass tacks' isn't particularly old as phrases go. Its first appearance in print that I can find, from the USA in January 1863, was in the Texas newspaper The Tri-Weekly Telegraph:

"When you come down to 'brass tacks' - if we may be allowed the expression - everybody is governed by selfishness."

All of the other known early citations either originate in, or refer to, Texas. It is reasonable to assume that the phrase was coined there, in or about the 1860s.

The derivation of 'getting down to brass tacks' is uncertain. Nevertheless, it is a phrase that is often asked about, so I will list the most likely possible sources and the evidence for and against them and leave you to make up your mind for yourself.

Brass tacks are, of course, real as well as figurative items and two of the most commonly repeated supposed derivations refer to actual tacks. Firstly, there's the use of brass-headed nails as fabric fixings in the furniture trade, chosen on account of their decorative appearance and imperviousness to rust. Such brass tacks were commonly used in Tudor furniture and long predate the use of the phrase, which would tend to argue against that usage as the origin - why wait hundreds of years and then coin the phrase from that source? The supporters of that idea say that, in order to re-upholster a chair, the upholsterer would need first to remove all the tacks and fabric coverings, thus getting down to the basic frame of the chair. While that is true, it hardly seems to match the meaning of the expression, as the tacks would be the first thing to be removed rather than the last.

The second explanation that relies on actual tacks comes from the haberdashery trade. Here the notion is that, in order to be more accurate than the rough-and-ready measuring of a yard of material by holding it out along an arm's length, cloth was measured between brass tacks which were set into a shop's counter. Such simple measuring devices were in use in the late 19th century, as is shown by this piece from Ernest Ingersoll's story The Metropolis of the Rocky Mountains, 1880:

"I hurried over to Seabright’s. There was a little square counter, heaped with calicoes and other gear, except a small space clear for measuring, with the yards tacked off with brass tacks."

Various other explanations relate to the tacks in boots, those that were put on chairs as a prank, the rivets on boats etc, etc. None of these come equipped with any real evidence and are best left alone.

Of the supposed explanations that don't have literal allusions, we can rule out links with any form of 'brass tax'. There have been taxes on brass at various times, but no one can find any connection with this phrase. 'Getting down to brass tax' appears to be just a misspelling. The expression is also often said to be an example of Cockney rhyming slang, meaning 'facts'. In the strange world of Cockney argot, 'tacks' does indeed rhyme with 'facts' (facks), but that's as far as it goes. Rhyming slang coinages from the 19th century are limited to the UK and Australia. The apparent US origin of the phrase discounts the rhyming slang origin.

For my money, the 'fabric measuring' derivation is the strongest candidate but, given no smoking gun, we await further evidence.

BTW, brad, you're still a fucking idiot.

GOOB, Im the idiot? pot kettle much??

You're just mad at the thought of nebraska sodomizing the team that just punked your wiscy sissy over-rated squad.
AND, should the huskers beat the spartans this saturday, ALL BETS ARE OFF!!!!
we'll be well on our way to owning your conf. buddy boy.
However, if the unthinkable happens, and we happen to lose to the spartans, well then, I might have to be quiet for a while.

WHAT? you cutting and pasting again goob? Thats a sign of impotence, Its time you and I got down to "brass tacks", cut the nonsense, and gibberish and tell it like it is dude.
I'm a very busy man, time is of the essence here, havent you heard the expression, "Do not squander time, for its the stuff that makes up life".
Now, keep in mind, "time" doesnt really exist, mind you, BUT, because your brain is too small to understand that complex concept, I will continue to use the term "time" so you dont get confused.
Michigan st. vs. Nebraska Sat, 11am central, ABC.

[Goober McTuber]

OK, brad, let’s get down to "brass tacks". Kirk Cousins will carve up your pinkshirt defense, and the MSU running backs will run the ball right down your girly throats. The MSU defense will butcher rape your pathetic offense and put your little girly-man vegetable-picker QB in the hospital. How do ya like dem apples?

What? you think the spartans are gonna load up the box with 8 and 9 men, and just dare T magic to try and beat em' thru the air??? Is that what you think?
