  1. Dunno. Depends on what Moos has set in his mind for criteria. If Miles needed to make the NCAA tourney to keep his job safe, he most likely didn’t do that. Yes we had substantial improvement, but history shows that won’t be sustained next year. Frankly, I’m to where I am indifferent about giving Miles another season. We’ve been flirting with competence under Miles but whenever the big games happen, we typically show little in the way of preparation, progress, or a positive/loose mindset. Don’t know that Miles has the basketball mind to make the improvements necessary for sustained success. It’s as if Miles is a much nicer version of Bo Pelini—he can build up win totals and occasionally steal a game from a better team, but when the spotlight is on the team, they usually crap the bed (unless we’re at home). Bottom line: Nebraska basketball and its fans deserve measured, sustained progress and a coach that can make the adjustments and win the big games away from home. I don’t think we have that, sadly.

  2. Too much pressure. They played tight the whole game. Regardless, they have had a really nice year.

  3. ahhhhh - a quote from a Fox opinion piece on a religion & spirituality site isn't exactly the fact based info I'd sink my teeth into. And Suzanne Venker is no expert on anything, certainly nothing fact based. Edit: you know this would be the sort of statistic that could be easily tracked and studied if we allowed the CDC to track and study shootings. I found some data bases on Mother Jones and other sites that look at mass shooting's stats, but tracking parenteral involvement in the shooters' life isn't one of the criteria they measure. They do look at mental health diagnosis, which is pretty nebulous, as some are diagnosed with something beforehand, others aren't but that's really dependent on a patient self evaluating that they need help and asking for it (or someone committing them).

  4. Hello, im hoping to get counsel on the fan day that Husker football has every year. I think that’s what it’s called. Understand, I’m ignorant on all this as I’ve been at FT Bragg for past 22 years in Army and only been able to follow Huskers from afar. I left Nebraska at 19 and just moved and retired in Gretna, Ne. I’m excited to understate, to have opportunity to meet Coach Frost. I’m 42 years old, which allowed me to watch every game He played in. It’s absolutely remarkable that he was on Mr Osborne last team and now the Coach. i want to get things signed by him. I can’t find info on google about COA with things that are signed on fan day. Is this day historically been organized well? Is there enough time to with the long lines to actually get to the tables where coaches are.? any insight and preferred first hand experience with this “fan day” above and beyond the info I’ve read on Husker.com. Thank you Nathan

  5. Phillips made a point to say that NU’s done a good job of recruiting in-state players. But he also said that “if Nebraska had offered me six months ago, I probably wouldn’t have made that trip to Stanford in the first place.” But NU didn’t. So Phillips took the trip. And he’ll attend Stanford. (from 2015) http://www.omaha.com/huskers/blogs/recruiting-harrison-phillips-picks-stanford-over-nebraska-k-state/article_6d2f6fa0-083c-5130-86b2-e7724482f3db.html IMHO, I do not think kids like this will be leaving for lack of or a late offer from Frost and Co. They might go elsewhere, but not from lack of a timely offer....

  11. In the spirit of complex issues and a board of varied political affiliations, I hope we can agree that broken boys and missing fathers can stand on their own — without undermining the parallel journey of women. The notion that boys can't possibly be victims because of privileged status kills a good intellectual discussion — one that isn't really at odds with the battle for gender equality, but may be a noteworthy byproduct. This article from The Atlantic is already 20 years old, and came out interestingly enough just after Columbine. It's largely a rebuttal to "Reviving Ophelia" by Lincoln Nebraska's own Mary Pipher. Pipher's book seemed so right and necessary at the time, but the counter-argument has a real ring of truth to it as well. Again, not a zero sum debate. Just another way to look at where we are. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2000/05/the-war-against-boys/304659/

  17. Made me think of some stuff. Here's a list of things I go to a man first for, some of it I'm just playing the odds on. There are women who know a lot about cars, but it's harder to find them. Taking the lids off jars. Taking the lids off bottles. Car advice - any kind. Purchasing/fixing/etc. Discussing sports (same thing as above - chances are higher that men will be interested) Spiders Another thought - chivalry can be convenient. I work at a place with elevators. If we all tried to exit at once it'd be kind of annoying. Kind of like a 4 way stop but without anyone knowing who arrived first. Because of the social gender differences, the guys let the women leave first every time. One of the "manliest" things to me is a man who's confident enough in himself to wear pink.

  20. The man speaks the truth. Just be prepared for the aftermath.... Lazlo's or Fireworks are favorites anytime I come back home (same owners for both). The Oven has great Indian food and a nice cocktail bar downstairs. Leadbelly's is an awesome American Bistro with good burgers (Raspberry Beret, get it!) The Wateringhole opned up another location in the Haymarket, great grilled wings. Hiro 88 has good sushi Those are the one I can think of when I was back for Christmas...

  27. The mention of reciprocal tariffs is a good point, @RedDenver. This is why you rarely see tariffs utilized anymore. Any nation that decides to impose tariffs is going to get hit back by both individual countries via the WTO (think the Canadian lumber tariffs) but also by large markets like the EU, who is reportedly ready to impose equivalent tariffs on Kentucky bourbon, Wisconsin motorcycles/dairy products & Levi's jeans in California as a shot at the home states of Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan & Kevin McCarthy. They're a neutral move because you wind up getting hit back for what you put tariffs on. Thus, you hurt your own exporters & make the items you put tariffs on more expensive. A beer tax isn't going to make very many Americans very happy. Besides, it was most definitely reactionary. Trump announced tariffs because he had a terrible week in the news & inside the White House. So he decided to play to his base (again) & try to claim he was finally doing something for steel workers.

  30. It's so frustrating that something like this made him seem like he did something right months ago, and everyone pretty much universally agreed on it. I despise the guy and didn't like the ham-handed way he tried to toot his own horn, but I thought he actually did something right. Then the truth comes out - months later - and nobody is going to hear about it. Millions of people have ingrained the event as magnanimous Trump saving some immature basketball players from certain Chinese doom. This is one the great challenges of the era of Trump: A very loud, very dishonest liar has the largest megaphone. If he is allowed to get his version of events front & center, it's nigh impossible to disprove it later if we do in fact find out he was lying. Also, I can't believe I'm saying this, but Lavar Ball was right on the merits... good for him: " If he helped, I would say thank you.”

  31. This was enough to make the local news last night. It's pretty lame companies just use these shell companies to bid on federal jobs like this. Then again, this company sounds like they're after Trump's own heart with their practices. This stinks kind of like that Whitefish contract for Puerto Rico. Whitefish had two employees & were from Sec of the Interior Zinke's hometown. One of Zinke's kids worked a summer construction job for the head guy at Whitefish.

  32. It's hilarious hearing that boys have been forgotten when congress is 80% men, men hold 90% of the governorships, even lower % as you go more local, and most boards of directors I've heard of have one or less females on them. I'm not going to get into an argument on income disparity, but I can promise you that women aren't making more money than men. Give me some actual, real evidence that "boys have been forgotten about." I'm talking things that actually matter and help people in their lives. Percentage of murders committed by males isn't evidence of this. That's been the case since the dawn of time, including when women weren't allowed a say in anything or even given a basic education. Also, just for some perspective:

  34. Hah! That's such balderdash. I was raised in the Empowered Women Era. I live and work among amazing people, men and women, who by their own merits are whole people, fully fledged, and with no limit to their emotional power. To claim that carving a niche for women necessarily means disempowering men, or "forgetting about" them, is silly. There is more than enough room for empowered boys and girls, men and women. Who and what I am, working with, for, above and beneath women and men, is completely unfounded on the empowerment of others. I am boundless, and my ceiling is my own personal limit. It is a poverty that someone would think that empowering one gender (or race, or religion, etc) necessarily means removing the power from another. I feel sorry for people who are so limited in their imagination that they feel that way. I have a colleague, a person who is clever and capable and nimble of mind and imaginative. That colleague worked their ass off, showed their potential, and is now my superior. And I couldn't be happier for them, for me, or for my organization. Because that person's ability and achievement has made me and the whole organization better. What gender is that person? What does it matter? The organization in which I work is better. Why would anyone care if that was a man or a woman making it better?

  36. The advantages of a Keurig are its quickness and its consistency. Even though I've been making coffee with my press for 20 years, sometimes it just doesn't turn out as well as I like. The Keurig reduces human error and gives you the same cup yesterday, today & tomorrow. It's also pretty easy to clean up, unlike my press, and it's convenient because you brew exactly the number of cups you want. Shoutout to the folks all drinking black coffee. Foo-Foo drinks have their place, and you should drink what you like, but it's nice to be surrounded by like-minded people.

  38. We won four, and received some historic beat downs from slightly above average teams. I will not be too upset about blowing leads either. I never want to turn off a Husker game to mow the grass again in my life. It was nearly a weekly occurrence last season. We need to build depth, and that will take time. Frost had a lot of first and second year starters at UCF. I assume the same will happen here, but I m hopeful that we have good players, but MR and his accomplices chose not to let them play, or failed to develop them. Blown leads in 2018 become close wins in 2019, and blowout wins in 2020.
