The fun part of the Warriors not being in the playoffs is I get to be a free agent and change my mind with every game. I like the Nuggets and would have no trouble with them repeating, but it's hard not to be impressed by the Timberwolves and OKC. Minnesota's team-wide, four quarter commitment to defense is the difference maker. The Nuggets are the last team I would have expected to get rattled. I think being on the road and two games down will focus them.

22% when she dropped out a month ago. Amazing!

So...what exactly is she saying will never happen again? Our attempt to have a peaceful transfer of power in a legitimate election? If she is VP under Trump, this situation WILL happen again where she will be required to do what Pence did. She is such a piece of s#!t.

Great job Libs All your BS rhetoric, “get in their faces” crap from the Obama years, deference to Middle East countries vs what’s in US’s best interest is now catching up to everyone and innocent college kids are having to deal with it all. it’s a great read and worth your time Oh, P.S………it’s not right wingers behind this like some have really really thought it would be. “What you’re seeing is a real witches’ brew of revolutionary content interacting on campuses,” says Kyle Shideler, the director for homeland security and counterterrorism at the Center for Security Policy in Washington, D.C., and an expert on far-left domestic extremism. “On the left-wing side, you have a broad variety of revolutionary leftists, who serve as rent-a-mobs, providing the warm bodies for whatever the leftist cause of the day is. And on the other side you have the Islamist and Palestinian networks: American Muslims for Palestine and their subsidiary Students for Justice in Palestine, CAIR, the Palestinian Youth Movement. We’re seeing a real mixture of different kinds of radical foment, and it’s all being activated at the same time.” The far-left groups active in the protests include antifa and other anarchists: Anarchist literature has been distributed in the encampments, and antifa websites have published dispatches from “comrades” on the inside. They also include various communist and Marxist-Leninist groups, including the Maoist Revolutionary Communist Party, the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), and the International ANSWER coalition, a PSL front group that worked with several Muslim groups to organize the Jan. 13 March on Washington for Gaza, at which protesters flew the black jihadist flag. On April 29, for instance, shortly before masked assailants stormed Columbia’s Hamilton Hall and barricaded themselves inside, The People’s Forum—a Manhattan event space affiliated with the PSL and funded by Neville Roy Singham, a wealthy businessman who “works closely with the Chinese government media machine and is financing its propaganda worldwide,” according to an August profile in The New York Times—urged its activists to rush up to Columbia to “support our students.” Similar calls for an “emergency action” were distributed throughout radical networks in New York City. These groups, Shideler says, typically operate in a decentralized manner, using successful tactics drawn from decades of anarchist organizing and spread through left-wing activist networks via word-of-mouth, as well as through formal trainings by professionals such as Fithian or the nonprofit “movement incubator” Momentum Strategies. “If you look at Fithian,” he says, “she has consulted with hundreds of groups on how to do these things: how to organize, how to protest, how to make sure your people don’t go to jail, how to help them once they’re in jail.” There is no one decision-maker; rather, decentralized “affinity” groups work together toward a shared goal, coordinating out in the open via social media and Google Docs. This can create an impression of centralized planning. Shideler cites the matching tents that have cropped up on a number of campuses, prompting speculation that some shadowy entity is buying them en masse. “People keep pointing out, They all have the same tent!,” he says. “Well, yeah, it’s because the organizers told them to buy a tent, and sent around a Google Doc with a link to that specific tent on Amazon. So they all went out and bought the same tent.”

Remember him? Kind of cool, head to college now and start to make some NIL cash. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/40102332/monte-harrison-mlb-los-angeles-angels-milwaukee-brewers-arkansas-razorbacks

Penalties really don't correlate with wins. Certainly some untimely ones can have a major impact, based on situation. Passive penalties, like procedure penalties, have little upside. Aggressive penalties, like pass interference or holding, could be argued to be offset by the gains made in being aggressive. Last year, the top team in penalties was Michigan, but their championship opponent, Washington, ranked 126 in flags per game. It's funny, but it doesn't mean much, there's no particularly correlative value to wins and penalties across the teams. Turnovers are why you should care about weapons and defense and blah blah blah. We all know turnovers have a high win correlation, but why? At the end of the day, they're really just explosive plays by the defense. The defending team was already going to get the ball back because it's an alternate possession game, so getting the ball back isn't what's valuable. It's the combination of your opponent not scoring and field position. We really shouldn't think of turnovers and turnover margin as what's important. It should really be explosive play margin, of which turnovers should be considered a part.

Come on, that is not a real quote.

Ha...Not that I remember but my first principal was horrible! Haha

If we can hand the ball off right, we would knock out half of them.

RE: Red Five Those stats show Nebraska has not been great at turnover margin over most of the past 20 years, but they show that turnovers, even for Nebraska, have a ton of year on year variance. Look at how many times in that list there is a 30 or 40 place jump one way or the other year to year. Our goal is not to regress to the mean. Our goal is to become #1 in that list every year. That list actually shows quite well what it means for turnovers as a stat to regress to the mean.

Great post...just to add perspective...that 40 time would have tied for the 3rd fastest receiver (6th overall) at the NFL combine this year. The shuttle would have tied for 7th fastest receiver....that'll do

Every single year there is a thread that goes kinda like this: “what are you looking for” or “rank your order” that will contribute to the W/L for the Cornhuskers… every year I have said, without fail: turnovers and penalties. And every year without fail we lose both categories. And we lose games (and tons of close games). I don’t give a s#!t how our spring game looked or weapons we might have or defense plays hard blah blah blah. Take care of the ball and don’t have untimely penalties.

That's worlds different than pressuring another world leader to interfere in domestic politics on your behalf. Let alone trying to blackmail them into it. Bibi made his bed and he can lay in it. He's a corrupt dingleberry too, just like Trump. If anything Biden should be bringing more pressure to bear on him or he'll just continue doing whatever the hell he wants assuming there will be no consequences.

Or if he is withholding weapons because it plays well with a certain segment of the US population Biden needs to win re-election who currently doesn’t like how Joe is handling the Middle East debacle.

That’s too rich. LOLOL
