I have ordered multiple sets from HIDEXTRA and have never been let down. I have ordered 4 HID kits now from this company and they have all been great. I am about to order two more kits for a car I just bought. Why mess with success? HIDEXTRA sells great products and provides great service.
Best inexpensive set of HIDs' around.

I've bought HIDs' from HIDextra for every single one of my vehicles i've owned since I found out about them. Their lights far exceed the whole "you get what you pay for" saying. You get much more for what you spend. Their customer service is also on point with any questions or concerns you may have. So why are you still reading this review???GO BUY A SET! :D
Very happy with product, 5 star customer service!
Posted By: Bigmike
You guys are absolutely fantastic. After an issues with balast and needing to add a relay the 5000K in my 2009 Cadillac STS are working perfectly! I chose the 5000K because my Caddy came with the Tungstun Factory lights that were too "yellow" in my opinion. I wanted as close to factory as possible. With my kit sitting next to a friends Escalade, you cannot tell mine is aftermarket. I also want to say that I appreciate the stellar customer service that I received every-time I contact HIDextra either via phone or email. Because of how difficult the job of installing the lights in and Cadillac STS ( you have to remove the front wheels and bumper to access the headlight assembly), please feel free to send questions my way and I will be happy to answer. You guys define what customer service should be!
more than satisfied with every purchase

Wine Camp - An Introduction to Wine
Monday, September 16, 2013 from 6:45 PM to 9:00 PM (PDT)
We believe it is easier to learn about wine when the wines are exceptional and you can connect with a top educator!
Debra Morrison Photography
(As always, all wines are purchased from the restaurant, and may change):
- unobstructed, clean, fresh, focused and beautiful - inexpensive but excellent - fresh, crisp and clean - a stellar example
- classic, signature, typical and that is a key learning element- a noted all-star producer, this wine is so precise, a perfect example
3. Riverbench, Chardonnay "Estate" Santa Maria - legendary owner, classic California Style Chardonnay - A LearnAboutWine favorite - produced by a legend, this wine is rich, ripe, round, full throttle and balanced with generous oak and butter!
4. La Fenêtre, Pinot Noir, Single Vineyard, Santa Maria - smaller producers change the wine world, see why this is one to follow - mouthfeel, color, nose, aroma - check out this hot new producer of top quality Pinot Noir.
5. Duckhorn Napa Valley Merlot - A classic Merlot with a great story and reputation - Top quality and value found here: chocolate cover cherry, toasted orange peal, yes we are going to drink some F-ing good Merlot
6. Silverado Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley - again focused on classic references help us understand the foundation of fine wine and lead us to see where wine is going. - 93 Points James Suckling, 92 Points The Wine Advocate. Dark cranberry in color with a hint of baking spices in the nose.
7. Beekeeper, Zinfandel, Madrone Spring Vineyard, Rockpile, Sonoma County - Zinfandel is a favorite varietal at Learnaboutwine - and sometimes wine is all about where the story interacts the quality and joy is discovered. - A noble wine from one of Sonoma's top Zinfandel destinations

The National League is an extension of the highly successful US Youth Soccer Regional Leagues (Region I Premier League, Region II Midwest Regional League, Region III Southern Premier League and Region IV Far West Regional League). Automatic Regional League qualification was added to the National League format in January of this year, and two teams per age group from each of the four Regional Leagues will earn a spot in the 2013-2014 National League season. The 13 Midwest Regional League Premier Division champions will join the three Fall Premier Division champions from Region II in the National League next season. The two Premier Division champions in each of the Midwest Regional League's U-14 through U-17 gender age groups qualify for the National League. For a list of qualification spots and current automatic qualifiers, click here. Should any team claim two automatic spots, or if a team does not accept their automatic spot, those spots will be filled through an open application process. The application process is currently open will run through July 9. "The US Youth Soccer Midwest Regional League is a major part in our player development process at Cincinnati United Soccer Club (CUP). We have had the opportunity to have boys and girls teams qualify to play in the National League because of their success in the Midwest Regional League," said Cincinnati United Boys Director of Coaching Bobby Puppione. "The MRL provides meaningful games to our players, allowing them to earn the opportunity to compete at the highest level in the country. These matches, in MRL and in the National League, push our players and coaches to improve on the technical, tactical, physical, and psychological components of the game on a daily basis at our club. We are able to structure our seasons around competing in quality matches that will prepare our players to play in college and beyond." 2013-2014 National League Qualifiers | Midwest Regional League Girls U-14 Blue:Libertyville FC 1974 (IL) U-14 Red: Futura FC Forte Premier 98/99 (MO) U-15 Fall:Waza FC East (MI) U-15 Spring: Tennessee 16 (TN) U-16 Fall:Eclipse Elite (IL) U-16 Spring: Kings Hammer Academy Red (OH-S)* U-17 Fall:SBV SuperSport (MO) U-17 Red: Cleveland United (OH-N)* *Spot will be open as team has already claimed a National League automatic spot Boys U-14 Blue:NWC Alliance B98 Black (OH-S) U-14 Red: Blast FC (OH-S) U-15 Blue:Ohio Premier Eagles Green (OH-S) U-15 Red: Grand Rapids Crew Jrs Gold (MI) U-16 Blue:Grand Rapids Crew Jrs Gold (MI) U-16 Red: CUP Crew Jrs Gold 96/97 (OH-S) U-17 Blue: CUP Crew Jrs Gold 95/96 (OH-S)* U-17 Red: Alliance 96 Black (MI) * Spot will be open as team has already claimed a National League automatic spot Teams that earn their spot in the National League have a proven track record of success in US Youth Soccer regional and national competitions, and are among the nation's best as every team has earned their place in the league based on previous and continued individual success, regardless of location or club affiliation. The National League provides an avenue for teams to play in meaningful matches against top competition from across the country for continued development and opportunities for exposure at the collegiate, professional and National Team levels. Last season, 185 girls, about 16 per team, and 147 boys, about 10 per team, went on to play collegiate soccer. Players found opportunities at some of the top programs in the country, including BYU, Duke, Florida State, North Carolina, Penn State, Texas A&M, UCLA, Virginia and Wake Forest on the girls' side. National League boys moved on to programs such as Creighton, Georgetown, Indiana, Louisville, Maryland, New Mexico, North Carolina and Virginia. In addition to recruiting opportunities, the top two finishers from each National League division (Blue and Red) will earn a ticket to the US Youth Soccer National Championships, making each match valuable and creating an added element of pressure as players compete for a chance play for the National Championship. The US Youth Soccer National Championships is the oldest and most prestigious youth soccer national championship competition in the country. Through the first five years of play, National League teams have gone on to claim 20 of a possible 30 National Championship titles. The 2013 National Championships will be held this summer in Overland Park, Kan., July 22-28.

With the next city election eight months away, three of five City Council members — all up for re-election — voted to make instant-runoff voting permanent.
With the next city election eight months away, three of five City Council members — all up for re-election — voted Friday to make instant-runoff voting permanent.
The state Board of Elections has allowed the city to have a nonpartisan election and an instant-runoff on one single-ballot ticket. Some city residents have argued that the process of instant-runoff voting is confusing and unfair.
The change to the city's charter will have to go before the General Assembly by March 5.
Hendersonville City Council also agreed Friday during a planning retreat to allow new customers hooking onto water and sewer to pay the system development charge all at once, or over three years with no interest. The SDC, now based on usage rather than meter size, is higher for those putting more demand on the system but cheaper for commercial customers proposing to use less than residents.
City Attorney Sam Fritschner advised the council that he would look into how they should word the financing agreements to avoid future legal hiccups allowing payments without interest.
Majority rules
The city's charter "strongly implies but does not explicitly state" that the method the city is to use for elections is a nonpartisan primary in October, followed by a majority rules general election in November.
The primary is used only when the number of candidates is more than twice the number of available seats on the council. Candidates are narrowed down to the top two vote-getters per seat.
"This is the method, with modifications, that the city has used since at least 1993, and with which the council is likely familiar," Fritschner explained in a memorandum to the board. "Our (election) method, to remind you, permits an unlimited number of candidates but requires a primary if the number of candidates is more than twice the number of available seats. The benefit is that every person elected has received a majority of votes and the election does not go past the initial Election Day."
Other election options, he said, include a plurality method, "whereby the candidates are elected to available seats in descending order of the number of their votes. This is a one-time election allowing an unlimited number of candidates."
The city may also use the election and a runoff. "This requires a majority of votes, but may be a two-time election if there are more than double the number of candidates as available seats and at least one seat fails to reflect a majority," he said.
The city joined a pilot program with the state Board of Elections that introduced instant-runoff ballots in 2007. The ballots asked voters to pick their favorite candidate and then who they would pick in a runoff, essentially holding a general election and runoff at the same time.
After the pilot program ended, the city petitioned the BOE to keep using the method. Instead of constant petitions each election, council decided to study the options.
Mayor Barbara Volk said they have not needed to rely on a runoff yet.
"The instant-runoff method in practice makes these two election types — nonpartisan primary and nonpartisan runoff — the same, since it permits all voting to be done at once," Fritschner said. "The instant-runoff method has been criticized as confusing, but exit questionnaires have indicated little confusion among the voters. The city, with the volunteer offices of the League of Women Voters, has undertaken education campaigns which have apparently been effective."
Volk argued that having instant-runoffs on the ballot, and therefore eliminating a runoff after an election, could save the city thousands.
"I favor the one-day instant-runoff because that's the day people vote," she said. "I like the idea to get it over (with) in one day."
Councilman Ron Stephens worried the instant-runoff process may "change the way you vote."
"I just see it as a way to do it all in one day," Councilman Jerry Smith said. Any votes outside of Election Day generally stimulate "dismal turnouts," he added.
"I think what was in place is fine," Councilman Steve Caraker said.
"If you don't have an extra person running, all of these methods become the same method," Fritschner said.
Smith and Councilman Jeff Collis and Volk, who are up for re-election, voted in favor of making the instant-runoff method permanent and therefore changing the city's charter. Caraker and Stephens voted in favor of keeping the election method the way it is currently "implied" in the city's ordinances.
Collis announced his decision to seek another term in January.
"One of my big points for objecting to the instant-runoff voting is, it asks people to vote on a runoff before they know who would be in a runoff," Stephens said after the meeting. "Also, we are the only city in the state using the system. Several others tried the system. They dropped it, quick."
Fritschner told the council he would have a draft of the city's resolution to the state legislature ready to look at next week.
Plan to pay system growth
When asked how the city's rates for system development charges compare to other municipalities, Utilities Director Lee Smith said that Hendersonville is a little higher than Asheville... initially.
Over a three-year period, however, factoring in monthly rates, he said Hendersonville is cheaper. It's "basically a three-year payback," he told the council.
"In three years you're better off in Henderson County than Buncombe County?" Stephens asked.
"Yes," Lee Smith answered.
Stephens said he thought the newer SDC would be "easier to sell" if they could break up the payments over three years without interest.
Any terms outside of the up-to-three-years payment plan will be subject to council approval and possible interest rates.

This past April, hundreds of transit maintenance workers descended on the Broadway Line to inspect, repair and replace vital components, in addition to cleaning and painting. Workers were able to remove thousands of pounds of scrap and debris from the tracks, replace hundreds of tunnel light bulbs, service closed circuit television equipment and perform maintenance on elevators and escalators.
FASTRACK was introduced in January 2012, devoting four straight weeknights to perform maintenance work in tunnels, stations and on tracks, completely suspending service within a given line segment for a seven-hour period between. This gives free access to the system, allowing an army of maintenance workers to perform dozens of tasks without the concern of having to "clear up" to allow trains to pass.
The next FASTRACK overnight closure will be on the D Line north of 161st Street for four consecutive weeknights beginning July 15.

Here's the LiveJournal page in question:
I'm sort of staring at the meat display, lots of salamis and sausages, and then various hams. And the hams' price signs have all been tagged with festive PERFECT FOR CHANUKAH banners. Which I blinked at for a couple of secs, trying to decide if this was an example of truly monumental cluelessness or ... nah. It's just the Department of Monumental Cluelessness, Well-Meaning Division.Click the link for the luscious photos.
Anyway, get used to it, stores. Your customers have cameras and access to the internet. If you post some ridiculous sign, you're going to get embarrassed on the internet.
Or do you think this represents the erosion of civilization? Why couldn't Nancy Kay Shapiro simply talk to the people at Balducci's? What ever happened to face-to-face relationships? Eh... I take pictures of any funny signs I see.

Welcome disc golfer! You can login or create an account.
Questions? Call us: (785) 258-2494
The Innova GStar Roc3 an overstable mid range driver. It is faster and straighter than the Roc and excels at controlled approaches and mid range drives. The Roc3 holds a line in a variety of wind conditions and has a predictable fade, making this an ideal 'Go-To' Mid-Range in almost any situation. Advanced players will love the versatility of this disc while newer players can rely on the consistent finish.
Speed 5, Glide 4, Turn 0, Fade 3
About GStar plastic in general - it has more flexibility and more grip than regular Star. It's more flexible in cold weather yet not floppy in hot weather. It retains flight characteristics longer than DX or Pro Plastic. It's just as durable as Star and maybe slightly more since added flexibility prevents damage during hard hits. All said and done, it offers high performance, longevity, superior grip, flexibility and an amazing pearlescent sheen.
About Color and Availability - pictured above are some available Star/GStar colors. This model may not be available in all of these colors. Likewise, each weight range may not be available in all colors. Therefore we ask you to list and prioritize your color preferences and to give us guidance if the color or weight range you want happens to not be available. Feel free to contact us if you need more specific info.

The Roc3 is a very straight, predictable flyer that feels faster than other Rocs. I use it for many distances from short approaches to 400'+ drives. - Andrew Bohme
The GStar Roc3 has exeptional grip for superior control, complimented by great glide for easier distance. When thrown flat and hard the Roc3 goes straight with a tapering hyzer finish. It will hold a straight line, resisting turn, even in a moderate headwind. - Chris Thomas
If you're looking for something with
more Fade, try the Viper
more Turn, try the Skeeter
more Glide, try the Mako3
Other speed 5 discs include the Atlas, Cro, Foxbat, Gator, Kite, Mako3, Panther, Shark3, Skeeter and the Spider.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -_ Gov. Mary Fallin has accepted delivery of more than a dozen compressed natural gas-fueled pickup trucks that are being added to Oklahoma's fleet of vehicles. Fallin said Wednesday that the CNG vehicles will cut the state's vehicle fuel costs and help reduce harmful exhaust emissions. The trucks were delivered by John Vance Motors of Guthrie and Chrysler executives. They are among a group of 160 CNG vehicles the Oklahoma Department of Transportation is adding to its fleet. Fallin is leading a bipartisan coalition of 22 states seeking to use more CNGvehicles in their state fleets. Since 2011, Fallin has petitioned other states and their governors, met with automobile manufacturers in Detroit and issued and received bids for more affordable CNG vehicles for use in state fleets.

When I would go spend weekends with my grandparents, I would always talk my Grandma into getting me a new shampoo or conditioner to try when I would go with her to the grocery store. What's funny is that I remember "pretend" reviewing these products in the bathroom mirror. YEARS and years before YouTube existed. I pretended I had my own tv show. I was informing the invisible masses. Maybe I was a crazy kid. Maybe I liked talking to myself... Now, I like to think I was just practicing for my future on YT.
Anyway, not much has changed. Of course, now I splurge on more expensive brands of beauty products. However, I make it a point to stay away from the sticky cotton candy body sprays. And I try to refrain from talking to myself in the mirror as much.
Regardless, I'm still a drugstore product junkie. Some of my most used and most loved products are from there.
Some? Make that a LOT. After making this Current Drugstore Favorites video, I realize that I actually have a ridiculous amount of favorites at the drugstore. Check out a full list of my favorites below and don't forget to check out the video for little mini-reviews on each and for more information.

Phils get Revere from Twins for Worley, May
By Todd Zolecki / 12/06/12 2:25 PM ET
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Phillies have their center fielder.
They shipped right-hander Vance Worley and right-handed pitching prospect Trevor May to the Minnesota Twins on Thursday morning for outfielder Ben Revere, who will be the team's Opening Day center fielder. It could be just the first domino to fall for the Phils in the coming days. They are waiting for Rangers infielder Michael Young to accept a trade to Philadelphia, according to a source. They also will continue their pursuit of a right-handed power-hitting corner outfielder, plus a starting pitcher to fill Worley's spot in the rotation.
The Phillies hope they are getting a younger, cheaper version of Michael Bourn.
"I think he's a similar type of player," general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "He doesn't have much power. He's much more of a singles hitter. He's not going to drive the ball consistently. But the defense and speed were important to us, particularly at that position. We felt like this would be a good, solid, controllable acquisition for us."
Revere, 24, is a career .278 hitter with a .319 on-base percentage, a .323 slugging percentage and a .642 OPS in 989 career at-bats. Bourn had a .263 batting average with .328/.351/.678 splits in 1,192 at-bats early in his career from 2007-09.
Bourn has more speed and is more accomplished defensively, but Revere, who has never homered in the Majors, costs tens of millions of dollars less and cannot become a free agent until after the 2017 season.
Revere came at a high price. The Phillies lose Worley, who was their fourth or fifth starter. They also lost May, who was listed as their No. 2 overall prospect. The Phils will try to sign a veteran starter to replace Worley, although Amaro said some of the team's young pitchers like Tyler Cloyd will get a chance to win a job in Spring Training.
"We may be looking for some outside help for the rotation, if it makes some sense," Amaro said.
May struggled a bit last season with Double-A Reading, but he remains loaded with talent and potential. The Phillies felt they could move him because of the development of other pitchers in the organization.
"We were dealing from what we considered a position of strength," Amaro said. "We've added some talent as far as starting pitching is concerned toward the top with Ethan Martin, Jonathan Pettibone, Adam Morgan and some others. We felt comfortable moving them. The price of doing business right now to acquire players and free agents ... we just felt getting a controllable player with quite a bit of upside, we felt like he was a good fit for us."
Revere, who will likely hit eighth in Philadelphia's lineup, is not eligible for salary arbitration, so his 2013 salary will be minimal. That is important in regards to the '13 payroll.
"We still have a great deal of flexibility," Amaro said.
That means the Phils will continue to pursue a right-handed power-hitting corner outfielder. They like Cody Ross, who remains a free agent. They also could pursue a trade for outfielders like Alfonso Soriano, Michael Cuddyer and Jason Kubel. They have liked each of those players in the past, so they are worth watching.
"Based on what's available, they did all right," one high-ranking American League executive said about the Revere trade. "He's a solid average player. That's how I look at him. He's above average defensively. He can run. My biggest question, considering his size [5-foot-9, 170 pounds], is if he can play 145, 150 games. But he puts the ball in play better than I thought he would."
Deals done: The Phillies acquired Revere from the Twins for Worley and May.
Rule 5 Draft activity: Philadelphia selected center fielder Ender Inciarte from the Arizona Diamondbacks. Inciarte, 22, provides depth at a position that sorely needs it. He split last season with Class A South Bend and Visalia, where he hit a combined .307 with 28 doubles, 10 triples, 47 RBIs, 82 runs scored and 46 stolen bases.
"We like the defensive ability," pro scouting director Mike Ondo said. "We think he's an above-average defender in center field, and an above-average runner. The reports we get are that he has the instincts to play the game and is a guy we can trust to run out there to play defense late."
Goals accomplished: Check center field off the list.
Unfinished business: The Phillies could have Young before the end of the weekend. They still need a right-handed corner outfielder with some pop. The fact Revere costs next to nothing means the Phils have financial flexibility to pursue another outfielder. Ross is available. They also could try to swing another trade. They also will pursue a starting pitcher to fill Worley's spot in the rotation.
Team's bottom line: "Ben is an outstanding, young, controllable center fielder who fits nicely with our club." -- Amaro

A month and a half after deciding to build a municipal park, village councilmen agreed Monday to pay the owners of Highland Lake Golf Course $1.15 million for the 66-acre property, beginning with a $525,000 payment at closing on June 30.
FLAT ROCK — A month and a half after deciding to build a municipal park, village councilmen agreed Monday to pay the owners of Highland Lake Golf Course $1.15 million for the 66-acre property, beginning with a $525,000 payment at closing on June 30.
Council voted unanimously to enter into a purchase agreement with Course Doctors Inc. to purchase all property and buildings on the golf course except for practice range lights and a "pole barn," which the current owners must remove at their expense.
Course Doctors owners Jim Sparks and Tom Davis had the golf course on the market for $1.3 million, but Henderson County optioned the property in 2011 for $1.1 million before abandoning plans for its own park and soccer complex there after citizens objected.
"That's the number that they've stuck with throughout the negotiations," said Mayor Bob Staton, referring to the $1.15 price tag. "We tried to talk them down, but we didn't get far. That's why it took a month."
After months of study and public input, village council agreed March 14 to acquire the golf course for a dawn-to-dusk park with walking and biking trails, playground equipment, picnic tables and other passive features. But the purchase price and terms of the sale were still to be ironed out.
Under the agreement finalized Monday, the village will pay Course Doctors $525,000 in cash at closing, with a non-interest-bearing promissory note to make a second $475,000 payment on Jan. 15, 2014, then another $150,000 on Jan. 15, 2015.
In addition, the village agreed to lease back the golf course to Sparks and Davis through Nov. 15 for $500, "plus an amount equal to 1/12th of the annual county and village ad valorem taxes" for the duration of the lease. The lease allows Course Doctors to honor golf memberships they sold, with play lasting through Sept. 30.
In the meantime, Staton said the village plans to establish an advisory committee with the goal of preparing a master plan for the property and "determining what the phases of development might be, along with estimated costs for budgeting purposes."
Protecting open space at the village's gateway was cited by councilmen as a key reason for purchasing the golf course. Though two-thirds of the land is within a floodplain, Staton said Course Doctors could have built up to 44 multi-family condos or townhouses on the land closest to Greenville Highway.
"They had other plans for use of the property, which I understand would not have included its continued use as a golf course," Staton said Tuesday. "They said it would be authorized under our zoning ordinance and they weren't interested in developing the property, so the only (other) thing that's permitted is agricultural use."
Before becoming a golf course, the property was grazed by cattle back in the 1960s, Staton said.
Under the agreement, the village will pay for soil testing to make sure there is no contamination from pesticides, herbicides or gasoline used in golf course maintenance.
Staton said no one foresees that being an issue, but "if there's something serious enough, we could ask the owners to correct it and if they say no, we could walk."

UMP hits electoral hump
Who will take over from Nicolas Sarkozy as chairman of the opposition UMP? At the time of writing, no one knows. Former Prime Minister François Fillon and General Secretary Jean-François Copé both claim victory after the party faithful voted on Sunday. Organisational glitches and allegations of ballot-rigging have turned the contest into a PR fiasco for the party. That's the focus for this look at the French press on Monday 19th November, 2012.

The announcement came during a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., as the NTSB identified its top transportation safety priorities.
NTSB staff indicated, "Metrolink's leadership to implement PTC is a model for others across the rail industry to follow."
In September, Metrolink unveiled its fully equipped test train at an event hosted by Metrolink Board Chair Richard Katz and the Metrolink Board.

Shameless Worship of Cornhusker Fans
As a college football fan in general and specifically a Michigan fan, there are several schools that I just have to hate. First and foremost is Ohio State. No reason is needed here; it's tradition, although the troglodyte nature of many Buckeye fans sure makes it easier.
After that, the reasons to hate a school can be superficial—even stupid—and may have nothing to do with the football team. Oregon just rubs me the wrong way now. All that Nike gear, the bushels of Phil Knight's cash, and those god awful uniforms that are a blight on college football just sicken me.
Miami is easy to detest as well. The swaggering gangsta vibe is made all the more irritating by the fact that these playas spend their winters in southern Florida surrounded by hot, gang-bang craving co-eds. I'll admit it, I'm a hater.
Then there's Nebraska, the team of pumped up misogynistic criminals and whiney transfer quarterbacks. (A quick aside here, I work with a gentleman who used to be a Lincoln police officer who responded to the call against Lawrence Phillips and he said Scott Frost was hiding in the closet at the time.) It's appropriate that their color is red, I've always thought that if the old Soviet Union was ever going to field a college football team, it would have been the Cornhuskers. The way the bulky, ruthless Nebraska teams bullied their cupcake opponents and girlfriends was reminiscent of Red Army tanks rolling through the cities of eastern European countries. They even have that whole paying lip service to the benefits of an agrarian lifestyle thing going on. They just needed to replace the "N" on the helmets with "CCCP" for the transformation to be complete.
Then there's the 1997 season. This season was shocking to me because the team I was rooting for was actually winning every game. There was no choking in the big game against a quality opponent and no mailing it in and losing a shocker to some unranked team of nobodies. This was prior to the era of the fourth quarter collapse. Michigan won every game. Michigan played ridiculous defense. A Michigan player won the Heisman Trophy and, since he wasn't a quarterback or running back, he actually was the most outstanding player that year. This was a dream come true.
Then came the final Coaches Poll. Somehow, Nebraska snuck in there and was proclaimed the national champion. Of course, it had nothing to do with Tom Osborne retiring and getting a nice little send off from his fellow coaches. Of course, it had nothing to do with Phil Fulmer still being pissed because Peyton Manning didn't win the Heisman (or maybe he was pissed because his pulled pork platter was a few pounds too small that day). But, it happened. There always seems to something bad around the corner for the team I root for—lately they just flat out lose—but back then, when they won everything, that Coaches Poll was it. The AP poll seemed like a consolation prize.
So, I definitely have a historic dislike of Nebraska that has only gotten worse lately. They've abandoned their traditional power run game for the West Coast Offense (which I hate) and have an idiot of a coach in Bill "Cutthroat" Callahan. Nope, I don't like Nebraska one bit.
But, Nebraska fans are the gold standard of all fans, people. These are the fans that every team should want. They are numerous, they are loud, they are passionate, they are unified, and they are well behaved. There were a few in the hotel I stayed at. I barely noticed their red t-shirts as they politely made their way through the breakfast buffet that morning. Then, later in the day as I was searching for a parking spot, I saw more of them, a lot more. While I sat in traffic, squads and platoons of red-clad football fans were making their way to the Alamodome.
I expected that there would be a lot more Nebraska fans than Michigan fans but it looked like they outnumbered Michigan fans at least 5 to 1. Still, there was nothing the least bit menacing about them, they were just on their way to a regular old football game. I never heard any taunting or profanity from any of them and they certainly wouldn't dishonor their team by throwing anything at anyone. I'll admit it, I am envious.
Once in the Alamodome, they ceased to be a group of people and became a single, huge, red, living multi-cellular organism. They cheered, booed, chanted, and even moved in unison. It was impossible to not be impressed, I was spellbound. I can't help but wonder if they practice together or something, since that kind of precision and synchronization can't just happen spontaneously. Can it? I'm sure everyone watching the game on television could hear how loud they were. They were deafening.
And after the game, as I glumly walked to my car, they went right back to being nice, normal, boring individuals. The only celebration I heard was the occasional, drawn out cry of, "Goooooooo Big Red!" That was it and it was never directed at any of us poor, pathetic Michigan fans.
I've thought a little bit about this strange phenomenon of how can a crowd be so polite and sedate one moment and so ear-scorchingly loud and fiery the next and I've come up with the theory that it's all in the demographics. I estimate that Nebraska fans were about two-thirds college age males and one-third families of mom, dad, and their two and a half kids. I'm figuring this to be the ideal demographic for a fanbase.
First, the college age males—always the most rambunctious and a dangerous segment of a population—provide the energy, the fire, the noise. These are the guys who do what fans are supposed to do, yell and yell loudly. They're young, they're stupid, they're fueled by hormones and alcohol so they have no reservations about screaming their heads off for three hours straight. The problem with these fans is that if there's too many of them, total mayhem ensues. You've got stadiums being torn apart, cars being overturned, couches being burned, urine and feces as substances to throw at people. Too many of these clowns around will make one seek shelter in the quieter places of the world like Baghdad or Kabul.
This is where the Nebraska families come in. They provide the balance. They're the yang to the frat boys' yin (I had to look up which one was light and which one was dark). The presence of all these mother and father figures keeps things under control. "Don't piss in the bottle and throw it, mom's watching!" "Don't smash that windshield on that car, dad will kill you!" Nebraska gets the riot of noise and passion without the actual riot. And, I'm sure that all that youthful energy gets the Nebraska housewives and insurance salesmen screaming there heads off every now and then.
Anyway, that's my theory. And, although I am really, really pissed off about losing and those damned Sun Belt Conference officials, at least a nice bunch of folks who really love their football team got to enjoy a win that evening.

Also, it should be remembered that the only reason Nebraska was undefeated that year is because of the miracle foot pass. Let's go back to November 8, 1997...
"Trailing 38-31 with 62 seconds left Nebraska had the ball at their own 33 yard line. Nebraska quarterback Scott Frost completed four passes to move down to the Missouri 12 yard line. After one attempt for the end zone fell incomplete Nebraska was facing a last gasp effort with 12 seconds left. Frost took the snap and rolled to his right. He fired a pass to Shevin Wiggins just in the end zone, but Missouri defender Julian Jones knocked the ball from Wiggins' hands. As he fell to the ground Wiggins kicked the ball into the air. Nebraska freshman Matt Davison dove for the ball and caught it with no time left on the clock. The extra point kick tied the game up and sent the match into overtime."
Absent that fluke, there's no co-champions that year. Still pisses me off.

Then again flukes are part of the game (and what makes it damn interesting). Take away all the so called "flukes" and a whole lot of history would be changed.
- January 26, 2006 9:00 AM
Well, this shoots my theory that Buckeye fans are A-Holes because they are always seeing so much red right in the foot. By your reasoning it would seem obvious that Michigan fans are weighted to much towards the family while OSU fans just never grow up.

Another outstanding post, Baggy.
Your analysis of fanbase demographics is something I never thought of before and it is completely on target.
Also on target is your comparison of the Soviet Union and Nebraska's dominant teams of the past. Both were so drab, manacing, and seemingly efficient. I think the Huskers even had an O-lineman named Len Breshnev back in the early 80s. Pretty sure he won the Outland Trophy.

Thanks, Anon. And we'd wish you guys luck as well, but as mentioned in BPD's post recently, simply by playing Michigan in your bowl game (as SC and Texas did the previous two seasons), NU is already pre-ordained to take the national title next year.

Glad this was enjoyed.
Yeah, I remember that day very well. It was dubbed Judgment Day by the sports media. Michigan was playing at Penn State and Mack Brown's North Carolina was playing Florida State. The Nebraska/Missouri game wasn't a big deal and Nebraska was expected to win easily. Michigan established itself as the number one team by crushing Penn State and all the talk about North Carolina winning the ACC ended when the Seminoles defeated them.
I was stationed in Korea at the time and the Armed Forces Network broadcast most of the games live. This meant I watched the Michigan game at about 1am on Sunday after an evening of heavy drinking. That was when I was positive that team was for real. The score of the Nebraska/Missouri game was being updated the entire time and it was exciting to see the Tigers were hanging with the Cornhuskers. That game was broadcast at about 8am Sunday morning—late night Saturday and early morning Sunday was nothing but back to back college football games—and even though I knew the outcome I had to watch it and it was still exciting, if disappointing.
Thanks. I wouldn't doubt if every one of those fans picked up their trash from around their seats and deposited it in the receptacles on the way out of the stadium. The think it's probably not that hard to have classy fans who aren't that loud or supportive of their team or passionate fans who are excessively violent, but to have fans that are classy, and respectful while still loudly supporting their team is impressive to me.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees the Cold War similarities.
You are so right, I can't believe I didn't mention FumbleRuski. Maybe they really were sponsored by by the Red Army.

I certainly do.
- January 26, 2006 8:03 PM
BTW, the bukeyepollrus awarded the NC to OSU this year. I guess that means the Bucks have a justified reason to moan about how they are not repescted as true winners or a partial NC.
Oh, wait, I forgot, there's the polls that simply analyze the teams and the polls that actually declare national chamionships. Silly me.
BPD, where in the ROK doing what? I have a far more sad story that has to do with watching college football allll the way over there.
- January 26, 2006 8:32 PM
I have a brilliant idea...quit whininga about your cupcake schedule that got you a share of a title almost 10 years ago. Good GOD people of Michigan, just realize that you have a bunch of poor sports as fans and that you need a new coaching staff, not a bash against one of the greatest football teams of all-time. Yes we (Neb) are down at the moment. Mark my word, if we had gotten a chance in 97 NEBRASKA wins by 20 or more, and don't even tell me that you deserve to win that is rediculous. Top to bottom we were better (our destruction of Payton and the Vols shows it). And oh by the way, we won this year, not sure if you saw that. Quit bitching about it and get a new staff and then come talk to me. Whiners.
- January 26, 2006 8:51 PM
LSU fan here.
Watching both teams play, it was pretty clear that Nebraska was much better.
42-17 domination over a pretty good Tennessee team (11-1) was the real reason the coaches chose Nebraska #1.

Well, BPD, I guess not all their fans are the gold standard. This guy sounds more cubic zirconia.
As for that destruction of Peyton, yeah, hats off. Beating him in a big game is a rarity.

Long time viewer, second time caller. I posted earlier this year, re Lethal Idiots, apologizing for the idiotic Husker fans over here flaming. Once again, this is nowhere typical for Nebraska fans. The type of idiocy you see here, is commonly reserved for K-State or Colorado fans ;)
Hopefully you guys have an amazing year next year, and we do as well, and then maybe we can hook up in a BCS game. Best of luck in the final week of recruiting and good luck for the '06 season.

The 1st Anonymous—and let me just say to all anonymous poster that your courage at posting anonymously and really putting yourself 'out there' is an inspiration to us all—I have no clue what your point is. I think the original post was a little over your head or do you have Tourette's? Do your conversations tend to go like this:
Ted: "Hi Anon, nice weather out isn't it?
Anon: Cal was unranked and beat USC in 2003!
or this:
Bob: Hey Anon, this global warming stuff really worries me, what about you?
Anon: Nebraska was better in 97!
I'm just wondering.
2nd Anonymous, I have a feeling the words "I have a brilliant idea" never EVER apply to you. I think the post was a little over your head, too. I've known a few overly sensitive people in my life and they don't handle criticism well, but I've never seen anyone get so defensive about praise. Wow, that's a new one on me.
Your contention that Nebraska would win by twenty is laughable. I can see people thinking Nebraska would win especially if they're Cornhusker fans, but clearly you weren't paying attention that year. You must be applying the principle of "my team will win by a lot because they're my team and I said so" to the hypothetical game. Michigan's defense that year, on average only allowed 9 points a game. They held Washington State, whose offense averaged 42 points a game to just 16. Since Nebraska's offense averaged 47 points per game it's reasonable that Michigan's defense could have held them to just 18 points. By the way, that's called math. So, there's a chance that Nebraska wouldn't even have scored 20 total points. Also, Peyton Manning losing a really big game, isn't all that special.

We were lucky a couple times that year. If TO isn't retiring, there's no split NC. Gotta say, '97 is one reason i can't totally condemn the BCS -- if we had it then we'd at least have known.
But then where would the fun be?
Funny, all that Soviet Union comparison is how we looked at Oklahoma.
BPD -- I appreciate the kind words about our fans. It makes it easy to get boastful, though I think the best illustration is the fans who stand and cheer the other team as they leave the field during home games, even when they kick our butts.
but we ain't perfect. you saw proof of that already in the comments.
And hell yeah, we practice. Mandatory dress rehearsal at the stadium, everyone is required to spend at least one year practicing weekly on cheers, chants, choreography. With some of us big cornfed boys it gets ugly, but we survive.
Actually it's just a cult thing.
- January 26, 2006 11:07 PM
As a Husker alum, I appreciate the kind words about Nebraska fans. As many others have written--college football games at UNL are the way it's supposed to be. My favorite story goes back many years when Alabama came to Nebraska and won. Bear Bryant always wore a houndstooth hat. Some fan swiped it--and didn't get two steps before other fans stopped him and returned the hat to Bear. MU and UNL had a memorable battle. Congratulations to Michigan for its tradition of great support for its team--and classy fans. Seattlsker
- January 26, 2006 11:14 PM
Really not trying to flame you, but your picture of Nebby fans is very skewed. They are some of the most pompous, arrogant jackasses the world has ever known. They MAY have been well-behaved at the bowl game, but (1) that is one day out of 10 million, and (2) the people that attend the bowl games are rarely a representative cross-section of the whole fan base. Again, arrogant and pompous jackasses. Then again, maybe that has been tempered by the fact that they have sucked for years now.
- January 26, 2006 11:58 PM
Anon (the one above here)
You're an idiot. Just because you're not flaming BPD doesn't make it ok to flame all Nebraska fans or make some crackish theory about Nebraska fans being more tame over the past few years.
The fact is that everyone's perception of everybody else's college football fans is most likely skewed by only a few interactions. A few Buckeyes get ridiculous at a Michigan fan (trust me, its happened) and forever that Michigan fan just might say 'Bukeye fans are all pompous asses.'
I consent that you may have had a bad experience with Husker fans, and thus have relegated them 'all' to such low status. However, I have had nothing but delightful encounters with almost every single Husker fan I have met. I have a proffessor here at school, one of the world's pre-eminent Pauline scholars, who is a classy example. Every Husker fan I ran into in San Antonio the year they plastered some Big Ten team was also quite civilized. The simple prospect of saying that 'all' Nebraska fans are pompous asses only shows how simple-minded you are; it is quite obvious that not 'all' Nebraska fans are pompous asses because I've met some of them who aren't.
BPD: I agree, partially. Nebraska would have had their hands full with the UM defense in 97, but the reason UM would have certainly won in my book is the same reason UM beat OSU that year (no, not Coop). There was this fellow on that team that played every position on the field, scouted the opponents personally and also called every defensive and offensive play in the game...who single-handedly managed to beat OSU with sickening play all over the field. What was his name........
- January 27, 2006 12:19 AM
If our two teams would have indeed met for the '97 title, it would have indeed been a beautiful thing to see.
Scott Frost, QB, and Ahman Green, RB, were hard for anyone to stop when they were in sync. They were two big, tough, mean players who grew up in Nebraska, dreaming of wearing the Husker uniform. As amazing as Charles Woodson is, I'm also a Raiders fan, he would have a hard time trying to make any open field tackles on either of these two men.
Our defense, while not on par with the '95 squad, was still quite mean. They were led by Grant Winstom, who to this day is still a beast and loved to play in the backfield as much as a Quarterback.
In my eyes, that could have been 1997 game would not have been a blow-out on either side, and would have been on part with USC/Texas this year. Once again, best of luck on this final week of recruiting and for next season. Heres to a BCS meeting between our schools.

It is funny how fans characterize their rivals. Everyone else gets cast in the role of the villain. The truth is no one really is, we're all pretty much the same in that we love football and just want our team to win. Which team we root for is pretty much a matter of chance unless the person is one of those USC bandwagon folks.
As for internet comments representing fans, I don't put too much stock in them. There's no way to really tell if their really fans of who they say they are. They're more than likely people just pissed off about the criticism of onepeat.com more than anything else. So you've got people who, for some undisclosed reason hate USC, pretending to be LSU fans who are now pretending to be Nebraska fans.
I was in Uijongbu and worked in the counterintelligence office their. I had a good friend who was stationed in Seoul—we'd been stationed at Fort Bragg previously—and I spent my weekends there. The Saturday ritual was take the train to Seoul in the morning, spend the afternoon playing football until we were either suffering from hypothermia or injured, eat, drink way to much vile soju in Ietawon, then watch college football until it was time for breakfast. Those were great days.
My one disappointment that year was that I was on call the week of the Ohio State game and had to hang out around my office. The television reception went out—the Seoul guys had satellite—and I wasn't able to watch that game.
As for the hypothetical Michigan/Nebraska matchup at the end of the 1997 season, I see it playing out much the same way as the 2003 Ohio State/Miami Fiesta Bowl. No one gave Ohio State much of a chance then, but they say defense wins championships for a reason.
- January 27, 2006 8:23 AM
Nebraska had to cheat to beat an unranked opponent in overtime. That same week, Michigan crushed the #2 team in the country 34-8. There is absolutely no way Nebraska wins the '97 match. Nebraska had a good team in '97, but come the hell on, people.

I'd like to point that ESPN did a story in '97 on Sportscenter before the Bowl games whereby they asked several Vegas sports books to handicap a hypothetical game between Nebraska and Michigan. The BEST scenario presented for Michigan, by the sports book at the Stardust, was that they had Nebraska as a 7 point favor--AT MICHIGAN! The other books favored the Huskers by even bigger spreads. They also handicapped this game at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln and on a neutral field where, in both cases, the Huskers were favored by even bigger spreads yet.
The bottom line here gents is that sportswriters are a bunch of complete nimrods when it comes to being judges of something like this. Who would you rather listen to, the fraternity of guys who actually coach college football and a bunch of guys whose profession it is to handicap these games, or the nimrods?
IMHO, the sportswriters just exposed themselves for the goombahs that they are by voting for Michigan in the first place. The Vegas stance on this hypothetical match-up and the coaches subsequent vote just prove my point.
Thanks for the kind words about Huskerfan! Much appreciated!

My foks were stationed at Yongson for a couple years-my jr/sr year at college. I spent many a day shopping for cheapie-suits in Itaewon over Christmas break. Also spent some time over there at Camp Hovey as cadet, but thats a different story.
My jr year of college was the NC year for the Bucks. When that game vs Miami began, I was sitting in the Inchon Itnl Airport waiting for my flight to Chicago to get ready. I told myself time and again that the Bucks stood a shot of getting blown out...but if it was close early then it would probably be close late.
I was sitting in the lobby through the 1st and most of the 2nd quarter. I ignored boarding call after boarding call insisting that I get my fix on the game before takeoff. I was filling the public 'internet' phone with 500-won coins and going to espn.com to get the play-by-play recap.
When I finally gave in to the Korean Air flight attendant (who was sitting 10 feet from me, screaming into the PA 'final boarding call' as she knew I was on her flight), the score was 7-up with about 5 minutes to go in the 1st half.
Now, my criteria was: blowout early, who cares; close early, we got a shot.
So with 7-7 late in the 2nd quarter, yeah, I was tense.
I was flying in my #45 jersey, complete with Bucks hat and Buckeye necklace. The locals though I looked pretty funny.
Needless to say, 10 hours later when my flight landed it was all over. I even tried using that damned "5,000 bucks a minute in-flight satelite phone," but it wouldn't work.
When I landed I was on my cell phone before the airline would have been comfortable with, and I soon got the fix. The best part was my connection from Chicago to Columbus was packed with Bucks fans flying home from the game the 'next day' (seemed like three days ago to me in jet lag world).
And that, my friends, is how I missed the greatest Buckeye win of my current lifetime.

Stripped down, straight-ahead punk rock from these Canadian veterans. 7" features one new cut, CD has three more. All are exclusive to this release. Plus this features DOA's demolition of the Tom Jones standard "It's Not Unusual"! Ass-kicking in that special DOA way!

"There seems to be certain bands that never seem to change. D.O.A. is one of those bands. They never seem to lose their classic old-style punk rock that entertains us all."- Coffee & Hash Browns
"Aaaay! That's class. Joey (Shithead) Keithley was born to sing Tom Jones, that's for sure. Vancouver's D.O.A.'s sense of humor smarms in buckets through this old Vegas-shmaltz hit by Mr. "What's New Pussycat", and hearing Keithley growl his way through the hellacious brass braying behind him is as good as it is amusing. Man this is funny. If your station isn't playing this (or if you're not torturing your family members with it), rectify that soon! Meanwhile, at the old-time breakneck punk rock, D.O.A. (now a trio, as they began 15 years ago) are still masters, and "Dead Men Tell No Tales" is their hottest tune since they came out of retirement last year, and it's also pretty humorous. And it's always good to hear ex-Subhumans leader (the Vancouver band, not the substandard English one) Brian (Sunny Boy or Wimpy Roy) Goble take a turn on the mike for the also snarlin' "Blue to Brown"... It all adds up to a good EP value, and one can't help but be happy D.O.A. are both back and prolific."- The Big Takeover
"Back on the lighthearted side of the street, It's Not Unusual is a... five-song EP that merrily romps through the titular Tom Jones chestnut and follows it with "Dead Men Tell No Tales," a roaring... vendetta against those who've crossed the band."- Trouser Press

It's the long-awaited anti-austerity blast-a-thon with the teeth, venom, and one-of-a-kind music of Jello Biafra & the Guantanamo School of Medicine!
Full-length #2 picks up where the Shock-u-py! EP left off! Covered in gruesome detail this time are corruption ("The Brown Lipstick Parade", "Werewolves of Wall Street," "Road Rage,") and corporate McMedia making pop stars out of small-time crooks to shield the big ones ("John Dillinger") or tabloid pop stars to lobotomize everyone else ("Hollywood Goof Disease"). The title track shines a light on our never-ending foreign-policy disasters in ways even Jello's spoken word albums never did. "Crapture" is the perfect song to play for those lovely "End Times" believers, pointing out how much better the world will be when they leave and we're "Left Behind"- with melodies on the scale Biafra hasn't really touched since "Moon Over Marin."
Above all, this rocks! No pop-punk here. Just Jello and crew taking punk fire in a wide variety of directions few ever try, with wall-of-sound, in-your-face production from Marshall Lawless and Matt Kelley (lots of Jello projects, Hieroglyphics, The Coup, Digital Underground, Zen Guerrilla, Victims Family). Lineup retains the double-barreled guitar attack of Ralph Spight (Victims Family, Freak Accident) and Kimo Ball (Freak Accident, Griddle, Mol Triffid). They are joined this time by bassist Andrew Weiss (Rollins Band, Ween, Butthole Surfers, more) and drummer Paul Della Pelle (Helios Creed, Nik Turner's Space Ritual, and Philly HC legends Ruin).
Winston Smith's cover image is hard to forget and hard to ignore- one of his best in years!
The live shows are the real deal. If you like OFF! or Dead Ending, for crying out loud don't miss this!
After 30 plus years, Jello Biafra's music and lyrics remain in a class of their own. This is his 1st concept album since "Frankenchrist." Ask anyone buying a Dead Kennedys album to check this out before they leave the store and they won't be disappointed.
Sick of the Tea Party? This is for you.
Sick of formula retro-punk too chicken to take chances? This is for you.
This is not just an Age of Austerity album. It is THE Age of Austerity album!
White People And The Damage Done by Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School Of Medicine
"As if standing before a carnival mirror White People and the Damage Done is a reflection of the twisted shapes and pedestals we and the media surround ourselves with, but bent bend and shaped back into the often shocking clarity of the morbidity they truly are. Throw in an almost embarrassment of riches of riffs and rhythm, sound and soul turned up to 11 and served in generous slices with plenty of filling to ruminate upon and you've got perhaps the most musically fulfilling album released this year."- GIGAPE
