Annoying Nebraska Tweets

I follow C-dub, Randy Peterson, and Travis Hines on Twitter and since this weekend I've been getting inundated with Nebraska tweets because it says those 3 follow a bunch of Nebraska numbnuts. I've had to mute a crap-ton of Husker dorks because of this.

Anybody else have this problem? Is there a better way to keep them from showing up besides muting? It's freaking annoying and I don't know why it just started happening.

Your Favorite Beer by Category (favorite lager, favorite stout, etc.)

What is your single favorite beer in each of the categories listed below?

Yes, I know beer categorization is complex and that this is not a detailed or exhaustive taxonomy. However, I think this captures the more common types of beer available. I've added a few"other" categories for all of those wild ales, dark lagers, imperial white spiced Czech apricot pilsners, and any other wacky styles.

Here's mine...

Lager - Moosehead
Pale Ale - Toppling Goliath PseudoSue
Porter/Stout - Alesmith Speedway Stout
Wheat Beer - Allagash White
IPA - Green Flash West Coast IPA
Brown/Scottish Ale - Brooklyn Brown Ale
Red/Irish Ale - Peacetree Red Rambler
Dubbel/Tripel/Quadrupel/Belgian - Boulevard Bourbon Barrel Quad
Fruit/Pumpkin Beer - New Glarus Raspberry Tart
Other 1 - Boulevard Rye-on-Rye (rye beer)
Other 2 - Surly Coffee Bender (not sure how to categorize this)
Other 3 - Exile Rauchbier (smoked)

Updated MBB roster (weights)

Cyclones.com updated the basketball roster with heights and weights https://cyclones.com/roster.aspx?path=mbball.

I'm always curious to see how everyone progressed. Not a ton of real new info. Biggest takeaways for me were Conditt up to 223 which is great (I think 225-230 is the best slot for him as a rim runner) and Griffin up to 217. It would be great to see Griffin challenge to be in the regular rotation as a small ball forward off the bench. He and Conditt could be a fun pair to watch off the bench together.

Now if only we can get the update on Bolton. Without any inside knowledge, I feel the best roster for us this year would be:

Nixon
Bolton
Haliburton
Jacobsen
Young

Conditt
Jackson
Lewis
Griffin

I think this is the year that Prohm stretches the rotation to 9 - although, I would expect only 10 min/gm or so out of the 9th guy. Don't want to take away anything from the other guys, either. Would love to be proven wrong and have a bunch more competition.

Underground Dog Fence?

Got a new pup (7 months) and am thinking hard about getting some kind of dog fence to keep him in the yard. Wondering if anyone out there has used any of the local companies (Dog Guard/Invisible Fence) or put a system in themselves? Pro's/Con's?

Also, has anyone used the wifi systems and have you had any luck with them?
