  1. First of all Support for Trump does not equate to conservatism There are plenty of conservatives on this board But through the miracle of intellectual conversation and presentation of facts many of the Huskerboard conservatives realize that Trump is a jackass who does not represent the values of an intelligent conservative Huskerboard is not a microcosm of Nebraska politics This is a place for intelligent Husker fans to have deeper discussions Secondly, Why do you write all of your posts As if you are entering an alt right poetry contest? Good poetry is an art form and takes a certain amount of intellect and creativity Shakespeare you ain't Why not try using actual sentences, paragraphs and punctuation?

  2. What in the hell is wrong with you? Breaking Bad is the best TV show of all time. If you want a show that is exciting and has constant turns go find a soap opera. This boggles my mind that someone would call Breaking Bad boring.

  4. Everyone who doesn't regurgitate right-wing talking points is a liberal. -OR- This is a community of people who appreciate facts. Facts aren't liberal or conservative, they're just facts. The problem a lot of conservatives have is, the facts of many of these matters don't conform to their world view. So they don't change their world view to fit the facts, they attack the nature of facts. Seems like a really weird way to live your life.

  5. I dont get why anyone who has ever heard Miles talk would taken offense to the comment about still getting paid. Miles jokes all the time. Even in this crappy time he has done a great job of keeping his head up. People who defend Miles have a hard time of understanding that you can like the guy and still question his abilities. I would love to have a beer with Miles. He seems like an awesome guy. I just dont think he is a very good X & O's coach and a good coach can easily take his team out of the game. That being said, I sure hope people arent tweeting crap to him or saying crap to his face about how he sucks. Its ok to be respectful yet critical in your analysis of his ability.

  6. I want to agree with OTHusker about a couple things: • It is hard to get younger white Americans to take jobs in the trades. Not all are poor paying, in fact many pay better than entry level white collar jobs -- minus the massive college debt. An ambitious kid can also learn the trade and start his or her own business. Those people own some of the nicest houses in the neighborhood. And yes, part of the problem has been the "follow your bliss" generation their parents came from. Well intentioned or not, it has raised expectations to an unsustainable level. The rise in kids moving back in with their parents is not anecdotal, nor is the rampant increase in depression and anxiety disorders. This is the first generation that is expected to make less and live shorter lives than their parents. There's currently a shift in thinking that is taking the stigma off trade schools and community colleges for traditionally middle class, university educated parents. That's a good start. • It is kinda interesting how the politics on a Nebraska football fansite leans left. Conservatives who are smart enough to dislike Trump doesn't quite explain it, since every page on the internet that allows comments features plenty of full-throated Trump support and libtard baiting. I'm encouraged by HuskerBoard, not just because I lean left and/or pragmatic, but because it's a pretty good conversation, made better when conservatives bring a thoughtful game. I know you feel outnumbered, OTH, but I hope you don't feel like you're getting chased off.

  8. Trump country - "Bailouts are bad!!!" Also Trump country - "We'll take your bailout money when it's beneficial to us!!!!" Conservatives are all for smaller government except when it's lining their pockets.

  12. Nebraska media: *reports on Miles' "millionaire" remarks without context* Nebraska fans: *become slightly frustrated with those remarks* Tim Miles: "I'm sorry for the comments on the podcast." Nebraska media: *turns up noses* "He didn't have to do that. Anybody who listened to the entire thing knew it was clearly a joke. Fans took the comments out of context."

  16. Cool factoid about The Blacklist: the creator of the show (Bokenkamp) is from Kearney, my older brother was a close childhood friend of his. There are a lot of old references to Kearney buried in the dialogue of the show, but they are hard to catch unless you really know the town (I've caught the names of old elementary school teachers, for example). The same guy spearheaded a renovation of an old theater in downtown Kearney a few years ago that now shows arthouse flicks and classic movies, and they have special screenings with every new Blacklist episode, often with live Q&A afterward with people who actually work on the show.

  17. Good comments Guy. As one of those 'smart enough to dislike Trump' conservatives I'd encourage OTH and 'others' to engage and voice their opinions in a respectful way. Yes, I sometimes engage wt foot in mouth but it is always good to recognize when you have done so and get back into the conversation. Everyone regardless of their leanings left or right is worthy of respect and should be allowed to voice their opinion. I consider them all 'friends' even if I don't agree with them some or even most of the time. I know they still love America like I do but just have a different perspective on how to 'fix' this country we love. Different perspective are good for learning and growing.

  18. Haven't been watching much news this week, but I'm under the impression this story isn't getting much play. It's not as wacky as Jussie Smollet, but a bit more consequential. Gonna guess Fox has avoided it for obvious reasons. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/21/us/coast-guard-christopher-hasson-terrorist-attack.html

  20. This x1000. Dude seems like he's be great to hang out with, and he obviously has coaching acumen; you don't hold multiple D-1 jobs without being able to coach. I think he's just reached his full potential here, and each party going their separate ways would be best.

  23. Well it was a conservative group recruiting conservatives one could assume that the person assaulting the conservative recruiter and calling them the b and c words and didn’t like what was going on was probably on the other side of the spectrum you are at cal Berkeley where violence against free speech and conservatives has been going on for years Let’s be honest here just imagine if someone with a MAGA hat had beat up someone who was recruiting kids for blm or some other liberal group it would have been headline news from coast to coast talk shows would have been all over it politicians would have been using the incident to grab headlines didn’t something like that happen recently? Didn’t that just happen ??? somewhere wasn’t someone that was supposedly wearing a MAGA hat beat up some liberal fella and then it got a bunch of publicity ? Didn’t that supposed attack generate a bunch of front page outrage nationally? instead with this case with the shoe on the other foot, most of us including myself had never heard about it no talk shows or interviews from the big networks no politicians making hay no 24x7 news stories no calls to action instead- crickets

  24. I met a liberal millenial once who worked 70 hours a week laying bricks and hanging drywall. He was a beast, outworking everybody on his crew by 2x. He was always 15 minutes early and left 20 minutes late and he never missed a shift. I heard he was from a naturally strong family though so that might make a difference.

  28. True ,but the fans would kill for Danny Nee's record of getting into the Dance. ….which brings up another topic....is it the coach's fault a team with a 3 seed and 26 wins went out and played like a bunch of dunces against Xavier? I think many times you have to put all the blame on the players. Pennsylvania?....Arkansas?....the players had their chances.

  30. I'm all for calling out racism and holding people accountable - but is there something else to this story? If this is all there is, this is not remotely worthy of suspending the guy from work for the rest of the season.

  35. In this ruling there is a 3 prong test all three test must be satisfied in order to meet the minimal requirements. I dont the element of intent is present in the 2nd requirement. To me it was maurice telling a girl off, and he doesnt want her praise. I dont think the intent behind it was to cause detrimental effects within the state. In fact I dont think anyone actually thinks that was intent at all, and this ruling does require that intent. But your probably right it will ultimately be California judges ruling on the case.

  37. Yeah I kind of agree that Kill really didn't do his old school any good with this interview. Is he trying to get Fleck fired? I get that he's pissed (obv) and who knows. Maybe some of things he said were true but saying all of this in public about the current head coach of the program he claims to still root for. Does the program zero favors that's for sure. I've always liked coach Kill but regardless if what he says was true or partially true or whatever in the end this just makes him look bitter more than anything else. What truly matters is if the players like and respect him (Fleck) and most importantly will go to war for him.

  38. Very well stated. That is why I felt this thread was as good a place as any to post this. His motive for money and being stupid does not negate the method in which he pulled off this stunt. You can bet it was very calculated that he felt the language used by the would be attackers would be more easily accepted if he threw in some N bombs, gay references and MAGA. The fact many ended up seeing through his plan doesn't remove the leftist nature of it. And it doesn't delete the fact from all minds that a gay black man was attacked by homophobic, racist Trump supporters. If he was just a bit smarter with the execution it would've worked out beautifully.

  39. I would argue that you are VERY wrong. Rutgers game is case and point. Roby has majorly stepped up and that only happened because of Copeland going down in my opinion. Roby has taken over the Cope role. Only game I would actually maybe give them is Ohio State. Maybe @ Illinois 5 losses- 3 of which were blow outs.

  41. That's true, for me it's just an easy target because it sums up the way he comes across pretty well. It's a just a little too tight and flashy, and I've never understood the loose full windsor knot on anyone. All of those reasons are extremely subjective, but I'm a judgemental jerk so whatever. In any case, if he wins players will want to come. Most of the Minnesota fans I know roll their eyes at him a little, and everyone's willing to put up with quirks if you win. I feel like Fleck and Chryst have the best matches of personality and gameday attire in the B1G. Fleck has a nice trendy suit and a bright pullover, and Chyst wears boring crew sweatshirts and hats that I swear they haven't sold since the 90s.

  42. I watched it last night. It took us nearly 3 hours to watch it. We kept pausing it going WTF?? They really aren't this stupid, are they? And 5 minutes later they would prove they could be even more stupid than I thought. I then had to Google it was a real thing and not some sort of acting, CPS should have taken the other 2 girls away as well.
