Every time. Every time this kind of thing gets brought up, someone casts doubt on the sellout streak. Here's the thing. Nebraska's sellout streak is as valid as any sellout streak in any sport in America. If you want to say it isn't, it would be helpful to identify which streaks aren't "a farce," so we could contrast Nebraska's with a "non-farcical" streak.

So the sellout streak isn't interesting to you. That's cool. Most everyone who thinks it's a neat thing understands the situation. They're cool with it. Tennis isn't really interesting to me. To some people it is. I don't go into conversations about tennis and tell everyone how boring I find it. Seems pretty odd to me that some people do.

Nebraska touts a sellout streak. A sellout counts tickets sold. You're talking about attendance. That's a different thing. Something else to note about this article and the inference Sam is making here. These stats are provided in a vacuum. We have no idea how this compares to tickets taken in 2007, 1997, 1987 or 1977. For all we know, this could be reasonably normal.

I could say "I would prefer no one starve to death" and someone could reply: "So you want all Nebraskans to starve to death just so we can feed a few people in China" and it would make as much sense as this leap.

That was quite the segue.

It seems to me like you have more of a "hard-on" for it than anyone else in this thread.

That's not how that works.

It's not at all a farce, unless you don't know what sell out means. In which case, in your head, it's a farce. But not in reality.

Comparison. This needs to happen in every state, whether it benefits Democrats or Republicans. The Supreme Court needs to rule the right way on this.

This could get interesting.

Haha!

The black market isn't some corner store with "close out" prices. I would be happy if we at least got to the point of that being the only source. Prices alone would keep the guns out of the hands of some of these kids. Not to mention a random teenager isn't going to be able to Google search where to find a source. They'll have to ask friends and acquaintances for help which would hopefully raise some red flags. Using the recent example: I can't picture a kid like Cruz wandering around rough neighborhoods and striking up conversations with community members assuming they are gang members and asking where he can get a gun.

I said that because I know very little about Nebraska high school football. As far as Missouri football, Webb City, Rockhurst, and others would wipe the floor with just about every ks and neb high school teams

Meth an alcohol are incapable of harm until put in the hands of humans!

Picked up a husk CB from a Buckeye writer.

Wow. Just wow.

There's an approximately zero percent chance that McConnell and/or Ryan ever allow a gun control bill to make it to the floor of congress to even be voted upon. The only way anything happens is if a veto-proof Democrat majority is voted in later this year and I'm not even sure that's possible. Trump will never sign a gun control bill which means the earliest anything possibly changes at a federal level is 2021. They couldn't even get legislature done on bump stocks after Las Vegas when almost everyone hates the things and don't use them. I applaud those high school kids in Florida for doing what they are doing but at the end of day I don't think it's going to make a damn bit of difference. Sad.

Pff you got Snapple Tea and Top Gun after you, none of your arguments will be heard.

well....don't get excited then.

They better get a second set of batteries this year.

This is a good article from Politico today: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/02/19/why-the-nra-always-wins-217028 Why does the NRA always win, despite the repeated national traumas, and despite poll after poll showing a majority in favor of stronger gun control measures? It’s not the money. It’s because the NRA has built a movement that has convinced its followers that gun ownership is a way of life, central to one’s freedom and safety, that must be defended on a daily basis. [...] To beat the NRA at its own game, the gun control movement needs to better understand how the NRA has built an army of single-issue voters. [...] Gun control proponents don’t necessarily have to emulate the NRA and, say, launch a TV network. But they might consider ... emulating one of the most successful public service advertising campaigns in history: the anti-tobacco “truth” campaign. [...] edgy ads that turned teenage perception of what smoking represents from cool rebellion to corporate dishonesty. The ad campaign is not the sole reason, but it is widely credited for helping drive smoking levels among teens down from from 23 percent to 6 percent. [...] Like the tobacco industry, the NRA has been cultivating an image of guns as a source of freedom and cool, with the extra value of protection from grievous harm. A large-scale counter-campaign could help reverse that image, highlighting the damage guns do every day: the depressed never getting another chance for mental health services, the children dying from home accidents, the domestic abuse victims who never could escape. [...] As heartwarming as it is to see high school students organize anti-gun marches, they are no more likely to be successful in busting the NRA narrative, or separating politicians from NRA money, than the parents of Columbine and Sandy Hook. The gun rights community is steeled against succumbing to sympathetic victims, as they have convinced themselves that they are above the politics of knee-jerk emotion.

This is something I don't want to see... It's so sad and disgusting that we even have to consider this. I mean resource officer's are fine, but I would rather have an LEO than a trained guard. The LEO can do so much more than another person with a gun... Why could my parents go to school without fear and kids had guns in the rack of their truck outside?

Used to be Rockhurst, but they have been down lately. CBC and Blue Springs as of late. Trinity Catholic and Lutheran have sucked a lot of top flight athletes from St. Louis Public Schools. Funny that they still cant beat Lamar. What a joke!! 2A school with 10 D1 athletes on the roster and they cant beat a public 2A farm school.

Remember when Trump would tweet about how insensitive Obama was for golfing???

These are two things are not in the same universe, and that is not how it works. UNK has to use some of it’s overall budget to keep these athletic programs running. UNL Athletics runs in the black as a business, UNK does not. Though they are in the same University system, athletic budgets at these schools are separate, revenue is separate. If you trying to suggest University of Nebraska Lincoln should pay for UNK tennis, that is way larger argument.

I wish more gun owners felt this way, instead of saying "nothing is going to change", "blah, blah, blah it would be too hard to enforce", "people would get their hands on them anyway"

It's as simple as this, and that's what the numbers reflect.

Unbelievable. Not only did they go there, they doubled down on it. We are led by some of the most terrible, cowardly people imaginable right now. Thank goodness the reach of the White House extends only so far. I beg anyone who cares about our country one iota to vote these incompetent a-holes out in two years.

These guys are great. Like combo of Led Zeppelin and Rush.

Stuff like this isn't nearly as flashy as porn stars, Putin, pee-pee tapes, etc. But it could ultimately play an even bigger role in the downfall of Trump's presidency.

I don't think there's a non-controversial candidate since controversy can (and will) be manufactured by the opposing side. If the Dems can get out of the way and have an unbiased primary, I think a decent candidate will emerge. (Or at least I hope.)

Well, I can see them making a huge jump in the "attitude" department.

it's the attitude that any small step towards some sort of reasonable gun control is a huge leap into a total gun ban that prevents anything at all from happening.

Why is there no time? Are you on your death bed? Did you bet your house that Nebraska would win a championship by 2018? Did a girl promise to go on a date with you when Nebraska won a title? I have very high expectations for these coaches and this team, but they start in year 2.

Huskers win 5-3! 3-1 start to 2018, pretty good.

Yes and he left respectfully, where the other one left trying to destroy the program as he had done the first time.

I wonder if the idiot will ever say this.

What season did you watch? Mike Riley didn't get a free pass. He got a lot of hell for that 6-7 season. But since everyone knew he wouldn't get fired in year one, we perhaps looked for some positives going into season two. Super close losses. Played Wisconsin almost straight up. First win against a Top 10 team in ages. Decent enough bowl win. Something to build on. Is that what you're talking about? In Season Two, Mike Riley essentially delivered a Bo Pelini performance with the same Tommy Armstrong at the helm -- and to be honest a ton of injuries. In Season Three, with a hand-picked quarterback for his system, Mike Riley's team generally s#!t the bed and he was fired four seasons earlier than Bo Pelini. No free passes for anybody.

Always. But is there any place in the country currently better situated to procure and develop talent at that position? If I were a young QB, I'd want in on this action. This system is a dream for an offensive lineman. A lot of variety, but quick plays that don't leave you hanging out to dry. The last system was so slow, and because it kept so many people in tight it made reads very difficult. There's a good reason the entire line played much better with Decker in. I expect we will see opinions radically change on a few players.

I agree that Frost is not looking for mobile. I think Frost wants defenses to fear the QB taking off for a TD. That opens up the field for other players.
