  1. I'm making a new drinking game - drink every time Sam whines that he didn't get to watch practice.

  2. I wasn't sure where to put this, but i found this youtube video posted elsewhere -- a couple of FSU fans breaking down some of UCF plays vs USF, and really gushing over Frost, calling him the best of the new hires (even over Taggart, their 'new guy'.). Comparing him to Urban Meyer -- "No one could tell WHY Urban was going to be successful, they just knew he was going to be". Anyway - if you have ~40 minutes, enjoy this video. I thought it was great.

  3. Hard to say. But at this particular moment — with Donald Trump having an extremely private meeting with Vladimir Putin tomorrow — it's pretty easy to say that everything Putin would have wanted from Trump's election is coming to pass.

  4. In a purely socialistic system maybe not as much, but that's really not what Cortez, or anyone else is proposing. Democratic socialism still leaves plenty of room for the same small minority of people who got rich using capitalism to succeed.They may not to the extreme degree were seeing now, and they would have to contribute more back to the greater good of this country, but the incentive is still there.. Democratic Socialism does however do a much better job of providing a safe, dignified , happy life to millions of people who go to work every day. Capitalism really doesn't.

  6. My girlfriend was listening to a podcast this morning discussing the concepts of socialism vs. capitalism in the American economy. They made a really good point which is similar to the thoughts I had reading through this thread. People like to argue about whether an American capitalist or, for some more recently, socialist economy would be better for us as a country. The truth is the economy is ultimately mixed - it's got aspects of both. They said we thrived from the middle of the 20th century up until about Reagan because both beasts were well-fed. Well, since then, they've done their best at starving the socialist side of the equation. Only Obama since then tried to stimulate it at all with the ACA and a lot of people think that was a compromise half-measure. But its not like most, if any, of these more socialist-style programs would just be straight giveaways. I think it's fair to put to rest concerns about welfare queens and lazy people who won't work. Most of our socialist programs now already have similar checks on them. You have to be 65 to get Medicare. You've got to be in your 60s to collect Social Security. You've got to prove financial hardship and/or be looking for work OR working to get unemployment or Medicaid. I've always found the complaints about people cheating the system a bit overstated. Similar checks would be implemented with new programs as well. It's simply impossible, short of a Dem supermajority in both houses of Congress, for such programs to pass without fiscal conservatives having some input, meaning those checks will be in play. These programs may wind up being more targeted than Dem Socialists like AOC may care for; regardless, they would still represent massive steps forward for progressivism in the U.S.

  7. I think we can safely say it's more than a feeling at this point. The media was allotted approximately 30 minutes to view the team all spring, a far cry from last season (and Riley's mentality) which allowed for heavy media coverage and let reporters watch full practices with regularity. I think there are pros and cons to both but I personally prefer the more reserved method that Frost (and even Pelini) implemented. I think the fan base sometimes needs to be protected from itself. We don't need to know everything all the time and practices should be a place for kids to fail and learn rather than worry about some reporter tweeting out all their dropped passes.

  10. Gill Phillips Fryar 94 OL 95 D This would be my optimum but you really can’t go wrong. All the OL and Def are better than anything we’ve seen for awhile. And Gill for $2 and Phillips for $3....c’mon, make it a challenge.

  13. Why are you complaining about something when you don't know much at all about the something? UCF was ranked 71st in pass to run ratio last year. 46.6% of their offensive plays were passes.

  15. Was this sarcasm? I couldn't tell. You've got the saying wrong first of all, it's "no news is good news." We could be hearing about arrests, hospitalizations, fights, etc. No news seems more like they are focused and aren't exactly looking for attention right now. I like it. I'd much rather go into the season underrated than overrated. Also, I like to hear team news, but I completely understand the desire to push all the reporters out for awhile. The coaches have work to do and they don't need unnecessary distractions.

  19. I'll be perfectly satisfied with extremely limited media coverage and scant information as long as the product on the field is much improved from the past 15 years. So far I'm convinced it will be so I'm happy. I think Frost has a plan and knows what he's doing. Sam and others can complain all they want.

  20. Exactly. In Democratic Socialism there is still plenty of room for people to acquire and have wealth. And you hit the nail on the head with the statement that in democratic socialism wealthy people will be required to put more back in than the zero they do now. (Okay "zero" might be hyperbole, but not by much.)

  26. I remember posts from UConn fans and maybe some ND fans too...they told us how Bobby was nuts, they said to get ready for no pressure on the QB, get ready for WR's catching 10 yard passes all day, get ready for post game comments that were filled with excuses and crazy talk. I also remember a lot of Husker fans shouting those guys down over and over.

  30. Dude, this is why so many people hate HR (not you Minnesota Husker), because they are worthless at what they do. You verified it for them, what more do they want, video footage of you in class 20 years ago.

  31. Shutdown Fullcast did a show about the Big Ten West. And which team did they focus on? The Huskers, of course. Because no other team is as interesting, charming, or drives as nice of a car as Nebraska. Obligatory NSFW language warning. They describe Nebraska as a secretive American inner sanctum, much like Wakanda. They dub us "Wacornda" and I think I'm stealing this line and claiming it's my own at parties. Also, they describe Hawkeye from The Avengers as "The only superhero who skips arm day."

  33. 1. He's a 2019 recruit. 2. He's higher rated than Anderson right now. 3. Keeps the Colo pipeline live and well. 4. I don't think he's at the top of the board, but he's an option. Maybe not a must get, but he'd be a welcome addition.
