  1. Courtesy of @Thanks_Tom RR's status update.
  2. I was a little late starting this since another thread already had some predictions. I moved the posts with game-by-game predictions to this thread. You'll have to go back and add your votes above if you already posted your game-by-game predictions.
  3. zoogs had a similar thread but I think it's interesting to get a sense of how confident the board is in which games we will win. Last year we were pretty spot on. Select your best guess for what our record will be and check which games you think we'll win.
  4. http://news.yahoo.com/growing-partisanship-splitting-u-two-191000316.html I wanted to start a new thread specifically on this topic when I saw this article. In one of the other threads (I believe the one on the Tea Party vs Establishment Repubs), I noted that I thought the repubs were moving more right and the dems more left. After discussion wt Carl and Jr, I concluded that the Dems were always left (just had a few more pro-military people back in the 80s) but that the Repubs were the ones who moved to the right - thus expanding the gap. This concerns me as I know it does many others that we have entered an era of dysfunction as a national family. We've seen it under GWB and now under Obama (interesting that another poll came out showing Obama was just as unpopular as GWB is now: But that isn't the point of my post. It seems the best gov't have been in the Reagan, GHWB, Clinton years. When compromise was part of what made things work. It wasn't always smooth - we had gov't shut downs, presidential investigations, and broken promises - Read My Lips- no new Taxes - but at least we had a growing economy and respect in the world. Guys - how do we get back to it. I know I can be a 'purist' like the next guy - want the president, congress to be as close to my views as possible - but that doesn't work. It is making me think about the primaries next week in Okla. I was leaning towards one guy who would be new to Congress, but now I'm leaning a bit more moderate - just because we need Washington to work. (Hey everyone here in Okla is pretty conservative but some try to out conservative the incompetent who is already conservative. ) So my $1000 question is - How do we get back to a functioning Congress/President and create less of a divide between the 2 sides? This article & the Pew poll it reports on seems to show that both parties have moved. Several Quotes: The evidence is compelling, according to the exhaustive study, based on nationwide interviews with 10,000 adults between Jan. 23 and March 16. Today, 92 percent of Republicans are to the right of the median Democrat on core issues and beliefs, while 94 percent of Democrats are to the left of the median Republican. By contrast, 20 years ago, 64 percent of Republicans were to the right of the median Democrat on a set of political values, while 70 percent of Democrats found themselves to the left of the median Republican. This profound shift reflects movement on both sides of the political divide, with more Republicans shifting farther to the right and more Democrats embracing far more liberal views. At the same time, partisan animosity has mushroomed to the point where partisans genuinely believe the opposing party’s policies “are so misguided that they threaten the nation’s well-being,” the report states “The overall share of Americans who express consistently conservative or consistently liberal opinions has doubled over the past two decades from 10 percent to 21 percent,” the study said. “And ideological thinking is now much more closely aligned with partisanship than in the past. As a result, ideological overlap between the two parties has diminished. Murray added that while many Americans “in the middle of the ideological spectrum want compromise” by the two parties in Washington, those in the middle tend to be “less active and influential” than the highly motivated ideologues on the far right and far left.
  5. I know this isn't Husker related but since the discussion lately is whether or not the current Bama dominance is equal to or better than the Huskers dominance in the 90s, but apparently ESPN is wanting to know as well http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/polls?pCat=46&sCat=3489
  6. Coaches Poll is out. NU ranked #20. Is this where we should be? http://beta.usatoday.com/sports/ncaaf/polls/coaches-poll/
  7. The premise of this thread is that we've blown Minnesota out early, and we're putting in backups for experience. Based on this, who would you like to see get some in-game action? For this poll I looked through the participation reports and picked out a few guys I thought were under-utilized so far. Of course I've missed some, so help me out if I left someone off the list.
