Gas Prices Around the World

The average price of gasoline around the world is 1.32 U.S. Dollar per litre. However, there is substantial difference in these prices among countries. As a general rule, richer countries have higher prices while poorer countries and the countries that produce and export oil have significantly lower prices.

Historical football question:

I notice Nebraska used 2 QBs pretty often in the late-70s to early-80s.  I also know they were struggling with OU during that time.

Was it an issue for Obsborne?  A point of contention?  Or was it accepted and understood by the fanbase?

Just wondering.

My daughter in C-bus told me she got a first offer on her home $20 K over ask, which was $200 K.  Her second offer was $40 K over ask, I don't know any details and contingencies.  That's a hot market.

She's however moving to another hot expensive market, but she's getting a 20% raise, she said.  I told her I could retire now.

late 70s Osborne was working a pro style offense with a passing QB that could also run some
in the early 80s, Osborne switched the offense to more of a running QB and less passing specifically to match up with the Sooners in the late November game and the weather that came with it.

Doc Tom only used 2 QBs because he didn't have one.
I don't think Vince Ferragamo or David Humm or Turner Gill shared many snaps when the game was in doubt

Now obviously, Osborne's offense was regularly putting half a hundred on opposing defenses and that allowed for the 2nd and 3rd string QBs to get plenty of work.

We're professionals. 

Anyone got tips or apps on managing a wine cellar / collection? In our wine fridge we often don't really know what we have; particularly the bottles on the back half of a shelf. 

Lady at one of the wineries suggested the CellarTracker app, but I figured I'd ask you guys too.

My friends use Cellartracker and like it.  I don't.  Maybe I should, I keep it up, somewhere.

I used to be more organized, but I used to have a lot more wine than I do now.  We're headed to Cincy early in April and several friends are hosting dinners for us, I told them I'd bring wine, I have a travel suitcase for it, and look forward to sharing some zingers.  I have two bottles left of Steltzner Reserve, which is among the best wine I've ever had.  And some Regusci, which is superb.

I happened across a photo of freshman Terry Hoague blocking an ND field goal that somewhat turned that 1980(1) Sugar Bowl around.
