When you're so far right of center, anything to the left of you is "liberal." There was literally a thread on this board less than two years ago where some of the more right-wing members wanted a section of the board of their very own where they could post without any "liberals" countering their opinions with facts. There has never been such a thread from the self-avowed liberals. The problem with the ultra-right posters on this board is they want to fight fact with emotion. Or, in some extreme cases, fight fact with untruths. Our good, honest, dyed-in-the-wool conservatives have no such problems because they allow facts to form their opinions. BRB, TGH, JJ, and a couple others whose names are escaping me right now (sorry) are excellent at this. Of course, like jsneb83 said, most people here are moderates, but they're conflated with liberals by some people who lack perspective. So it goes.

As someone who IS transgender, I really don't give a damn if you think I am "mentally ill." Your opinion of me, being trans, and how I live my life, matters naught. And citing DSM-5? So what. Transgender, as a research topic, isn't well known or explored. Being trans is a topic that is just now being researched. And those same "experts" who classify being trans as a mental illness once said the exact same thing about being gay. That has since been changed/debunked. And so I think maybe some of those "experts" saying being trans is a mental illness might also be religious bigots and/or idiots who insert their own personal opinion in lieu of real factual knowledge or insight.

There is no metric that can be done for the amount Scott Frost brings to Nebraska. A new coach actually hurts you in the FPI ratings. Frost > Riley

Here's the text of the letter that Elizabeth Warren was trying to read into the record before Republicans silenced her. As she noted, this letter was submitted into the record in 1986. Apparently, since 1986, it's become too dangerous to admit such things.

I bet you a million dollars that we don’t finish 5.5 - 6.5.

Think we beat both Northwestern and Iowa. Along with at least 1 of the other 4.

I've found it interesting, upon learning more that this "caravan" that folks are going crazy about right now is actually an annual trip. That they travel in a group for safety and that they peel off at various cities along the way. The number actually shooting to make it to the US is ~500 or less. Funny how this wasn't an issue (that I recall anyway) last year. Guess maybe it's a good time for a distraction from personal issues here with leadership right now ...

Another thing Held wants to get across to his running backs is to “beat the little guy” — the voice inside their head telling them they’re tired. Held said he wants to be able to ride guys for eight or nine plays consecutively, but that can only happen when conditioning is improved. I'm guessing the bold will go for all the skill guys on O. No one play tapout.............What an awesome concept. Probably reading into this, but sounds like the coaches are insinuating the guys are "soft" and really to get mentally stronger.

far right wing propaganda at it's finest. what the far right calls the deep state is what our forefathers called the checks and balances of power.

Of the people who regularly post in this forum, I would say about half would say they are moderate or even moderately conservative. Unless you think those are also liberals, then I guess you would be right.

ric flair sure is tolerant of liberals

If we're being honest, it's not just liberals who are being "intolerant" of your opinions.

Neither does being 50 and only reading a few articles from a news outlet of choice.....which seems to cover a lot of the people I run into. These kids are just as entitled to an opinion as you or I. If you don't agree, that's fine; join the club with millions of others. But my issue is people demeaning these kids and calling them clueless. I'm confident that they have compiled more knowledge on gun policy than most adults.

You think otherwise? Did you miss or ignore the countless examples of outright racist and bigoted treatment towards him and his family? Did you miss the time his wife was referred to as a 'gorilla?' Not only are there countless articles on the topic, but there are also several books that document eight years of the nonsense. Trump, conversely, is largely being judged by his words and actions. That's not to say he has never been the target of unfair treatment but we shouldn't try to throw a pity party for Trump as if he's a victim. That's incredibly disingenuous.

That's a tricky question. All 3 were pretty much perfect for the time and conditions they played in. Gill and Frost are pretty interchangeable IMO and I'm not sure any QB other than Crouch could've carried the 01 team virtually singlehandedly like he did. Would be interesting to see what he could do with a supporting cast like the other two had. Love all 3 of them so I'm not going to pick one. Shame on you @84HuskerLaw, dickish answer.

Remember about a year ago...people were like "Oh my gosh, that Colorado game is going to be soooo tough" and now look...not so tough. What a fluke season they had two years ago. With that said Nebraska doesn't have a worthless coach with an unplugged headset anymore...they are not losing any non-conference games and they are not losing to NW, Purdue, Minny, Illinois or Iowa anymore.

Heard Sip the other day, he said "Remember last year, we go to watch 6 practices in the spring and about 6 practices in the fall and no one came away saying that they think the team will be under .500...so I don't know how much it helps to watch practice" Or something close to that... He went on to say that since they have nothing to compare the team to that it really doesn't give them an idea of how good they might be and that is why he likes when the BTN guys come around because they can compare all the teams they get to watch in practice. I thought that was a good point.

@GSG I think it’s safe to say, you are embarking on an adventure where you will end up with about 5 outdoor cooking devices and people will be happy that you do. Enjoy!!! just understand it’s an addiction. And....if you boil ribs, terrorists win.

I will add to what Enhance said. Living in the Detroit metro I am blessed to hear both extreme conservative and extreme liberal radio stations, both are equally deplorable. NPR is about the most unbiased source of news on the radio. However even their local programming is a bit liberally slanted. People need to take their citizenship seriously. They need to consume multiple sources and multiple types of media. They need to understand that people like Limbaugh, Hannity, Maddow, Lemon ,etc. are dangerous for this country. They argue on emotions not facts.

I won't begrudge you your views on how certain aspects of the media covered both presidents, however, I think we need to be very careful when using phrases like 'the media.' 'The media' is a diverse bunch ranging from national talk shows, local news shows, newspapers, bloggers, etc. Fox News and CNN are deplorable in my opinion, with Fox News being the worst of the two. They're both unreliable and far too coveting of themselves. More Americans should start actually reading again, and from a variety of sources, rather than paying attention to what shows up in their Facebook feeds and on TV. 'The media' is operated by humans whom are fallible and make mistakes, but there are a lot of great journalists and publications out there that far too often get blamed for others' mistakes and then get lumped into 'media' bashing.

I’ve said all along that the NRA and gun industry needs to be involved with finding a solution or one will be found for them....and they aren’t going to like it.

From the 247 article. Walters said Nebraska has enough to compete right away. “We didn’t come here to be 6-6,” he said.

Republicans seem to be the party of hatred and intolerance. Does every Republican hate gays, trans, non-whites, non-christians, immigrants, etc? Of course not. But they too often remain silent while bigots like Huckabee, Pence, Falwell, and other "religious" people on the right say stuff that is bigoted. You're saying that cowboy from Texas is an outlier and I'm saying you missed my point entirely. Which is: There are Republicans who would commit genocide on my community if they thought they could get away with it. You asked me to prove that was true. I did by providing a link. Now you move the goalposts by demanding that I prove every single Republican thinks that way. Even if they did, I don't have the time or inclination to undertake such a project. Face it Ric, your party does have a very real current of bigotry running through it. To pretend otherwise is to ignore all evidence.

“Deep State” It’s alwats interesting when political propaganda catch phrases are used as an attempt to convince people of something.

And if we are gonna talk hypocricy, how about those republicans and their Christian moral high ground they live on!

ESPN FPI also has 7 teams going undefeated. I'll take that bet too.

I wouldn't say RD is a liberal. Liberals aren't tolerant to hate or people who aren't tolerant or are problematic. How can someone be tolerant of the LGBTQAI community and also be tolerant of Westboro baptist church? How can someone be tolerant of a racist yet claim they support the minority communities. Those are direct contradictions, so your idea of tolerance is a bit funny. Someone can't be tolerant of literally everything or they wouldn't have a view to begin with

Play to the final whistle. Make each and every "tough" game a dogfight. We do those two things, the wins will eventually follow. The wins and losses this year really don't matter much to me. I just want to see competent football being played each and every game.

i think that trump is doing 100x what obama did

I glanced through your articles. Several are “opinion pieces” which are not news articles. Others mention things they claim happened with no evidence. Not real great evidence anywhere in there other than doing a great job of showing how political propaganda works.

Why do you act like this? Show me the evidence that Obama order it as you claim, or stop embarrassing yourself. I have never once watched Maddow, and I have watched far more Fox News than the few hours of MSNBC I have seen over my life.

The Sandlot turned 25 last Sunday. That was the movie of my childhood. I watched it so many times I thought my VHS tapes was going to melt.

I do not believe this is a huge rebuild, rebuild yes- huge no. We have some good talent- we had a bad coach, with a bad scheme, poor conditioning and players quit on him last year. Does anyone really believe we are a 4 win talent team? We have had the best recruiting classes in our BIG division. So the talent must be there. Change in attitude, quality coach, modern scheme, players in shape- those things can do wonders. I saw something that said we have a 28% chance to beat Northwestern. Seriously are these people high. I dont care about a new scheme- no riley = better odds than last year. I am setting my expectation at 7-5 for the year. To be honest if we win a few more than that and have an 8 or 9 win season I wont be surprised because of the those factors I mentioned above. I know the schedule is tough- but I think we are ripe for a quick turnaround. I know the woah woah temper your expectations guys will jump all over this. But like I said my expectation is 7-5, but I wont be surprised if Scott Frost and these CORNHuskers surprise us with some solid play.

We are at the top of his list after the visit. Shaefer also put a CB in for Nebraska

Who would boil ribs?!?!

Shouldn't those count as double?

Yeah, there was a lot of talk about the line being 6 early last year then it ended up coming out at 7. I wouldn't think it would be less than that this year.

those kids are a lot less clueless than you or i are about what it's like to be on the receiving end of gunfire in their own school.

Back to the Future.

once I hit the minimum requirement for my act I was done taking it.

If ESPN was off by 5 wins with UCF last year, I wouldn't mind if they were wrong by the same amount again this year. 10-2 would be a stellar season.

Yeah, keep pushing the narrative that Oprah ISN'T a goat.

I guess we see it differently, most of the comments back at Sam prove my argument to be a week stale. Getting new photographs, as you mentioned earlier, is necessary and a great thing. So yes, access for that purpose is needed because it’s cringeworthy - at times - seeing recruits or media use photos that show the previous coaching staffs. What Sam appears to be arguing for is the NFL beat writer access, which is not going to happen and I especially wouldn’t trust anyone at the OWH to cover that.
