Lawfare blog with a great article on the Russian indictments and how that explains the legal process that Mueller is using to map "collusion" to actual criminal law: About That Russia Indictment: Robert Mueller's Legal Theory and Where It Takes Him Next4 points

I'm in 311s first music video I tackled Ahman Green once. I filled the hole, saw him coming, I turtled up as he was about to truck me and he tripped. Grew up in Bellevue and played pick up basketball with Erick Strickland and Andre Woolridge. Played soccer against Reggie Baul, incredibly fast, but horrible soccer player. I'm surprised anyone wanted to give him a college scholarship in that sport.4 points

But you also disparaged bacon in the same post. This invalidates all subsequent and prior claims of any kind. Dissing GoT is bad on it’s own but the two combined.....3 points

There was a story in the Omaha World Herald or Lincoln Journal Star lazt yeat in which Gates himself admitted he had a tendency to be lazy. He also said it was an entire OL problem. The truth is ugly here, but Nick Gates is lazy and does have a weak work ethic and his play showed it. As I said before though, best of luck to him in the NFL because he's absolutely going to need it.3 points

I alluded to this earlier. The vast majority of fbs football is subsidized by the individual schools. It hasnt been until recently that more than a handful of schools actually made money off football. Having intercollegiate sports enhances the college experience for regular students as well as the student athletes. Eliminating the non-revenue and female sports would just push students to other colleges that offer them. Title IX does more than just help female athletes. And if someone cant see that they are being willfully ignorant about it.3 points

Nice quote from Duval. In 2016 the Fiesta Bowl was the playoff game Ohio State lost. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/ucf-knights/os-ucf-football-strength-program-0807-20160806-story.html2 points

I despise the concept of crowdfunding except when it comes to natural disasters and catastrophic unplanned illness, etc. I feel terrible that your Lab is sick or your Corgi needs ACL surgery, guess what? Work extra and/or buy pet insurance. Pets aren't robots, they get sick/hurt sometimes which requires money. Don't even get me started on the concept of crowdfunding education or weddings.2 points

Sometimes when I'm feeling generous, I'm willing to think Donald Trump hoodwinked Republican voters who didn't know what they were getting into. Then I'm reminded that Ted Cruz and Ben Carson were the other leading vote getters. It's kinda stunning.2 points

I'd challenge you on this. It's easy and accurate to pile on Clinton for not visiting those places. It was rightfully stupid & her campaign got too inside baseball trying to read polling. That said, it's not a given that if she visits those places more she wins them. She still had a pretty massive ground game. There was still the whole "being one of the most unlikable candidates ever" thing. Visiting those places more & organizing more urgently wouldn't necessarily have made people like her more. I've never thought about it like this before. That is a great analogy.2 points

The thing with the Dems is that they seem to have an honorable message and good intentions. The leadership is just plain stupid and weak. The GOP on the other hand is very strong in leadership (or herd mentality) but appalling in message and intentions.2 points

Does Ted Cruz ever make sense? I think there is a good reason he is widely disliked by his peers. Holy crap! I looked him up on Wiki too. His father's middle name is literally "Bienvenido".2 points

The end result would ultimately be the elimination of female sports and most male sports at the collegiate level. Keep in mind, as stated previously, that most major sports do not turn revenues. This subsidization you speak of would include the possible and likely elimination of baseball, lacrosse, softball, volleyball, bowling, hockey and the list goes on. In the end, the primary winner is young men who play football and basketball. That's a big disappointment in many ways.2 points

OK...Ever since Mr. Flair gave me a home work assignment, I have read a number of articles on what he claims. And....I do not get from any of them, what he is claiming. Yes, more girls are enrolling in college. Yes, girls on average get better grades. Yes, a higher percentage of girls graduate from HS than boys. All....of which I knew before reading these articles. Other than that, there is no substance to anything I have seen. I see no evidence that feminism is some how destroying education for male students. I honestly can not think of one thing in our own school system that holds boys back more from learning Science, math, English....etc than girls. To me, this is a social issue that has absolutely NOTHING to do with feminism and EVERYTHING to do with our own expectations for boys in education. Here is an example of what I'm talking about. In the last few years, I have known both a boy and a girl who are off the charts smart from our school system. I know both of them scored well into the 30s on the ACTs (as freshmen and never took it again). Both were pretty good athletes. Throughout their HS careers, guess what the story line has been when people talk about them. Boy..."Wow, what a stud athlete. Man, he is fun to watch play basketball. Next year, we are going to be very good with him at QB. Girl....."Wow....she is impressive with how smart she is. It's going to be interesting to see what she does after HS. Obviously going to make a speech at graduation." See the difference? Actually, I didn't even know how smart the boy is till his senior year because everyone was always concentrated on his great three point shot. They are both going to be very successful. The boy is actually a walk-on on the football team at UNL and the girl is going to an ivy league school next year (hasn't decided which one). My point is, it's society and how we look at boys and girls differently....NOT because of feminism or some built in flaw in our educational system, but because of our idiocy towards boys and what we teach them is important in life.2 points

Part of what troubles me too is what people allude to when they talk about messaging. Like, obviously the winning messaging strategy in 2016 was to feed off some fundamentally race-based resentment of the white working class but for a hell of a lot of us cashing in on such resentment was an absolute non-starter. I feel a pivot to this direction inevitably produces narrow, exclusionary policy, the kind meant to rectify the wrong of the erosion of white privilege at least in certain corners, by restoring it. Diversity is everything to me, and is core to what I think of as the American national identity. That, and an aspiration for being a force for good, such as through social justice and welfare in our own communities and being a good neighbor globally. So our greatness emanates from our goodness, and we are stronger .... together. But that was a weak, garbage message? and what we really needed was something that could focus in on highly legitimate white anger, hard pass please. Re: union members, I mean, I think it's pretty clear, if you are truly pro-union then you need to be not voting for the people who have been thirsting for union destruction for decades and good job on handing them the judiciary keys to do that. If racial resentment either took over or all the blatantly anti-Black, anti-immigrant, anti-women, anti-LGBT stuff on the Trump ticket wasn't enough to bother you, then that's also on you. That said, I would like to see a much stronger pro-labor push from the Democratic side. I do hope that this is something they'll embrace, as a matter of "worker's rights" and a more truly democratic society, and not "we need the white midwest front and center again."1 point

I see Bo much differently than Riley. Riley 'retired' essentially to his 'home town' and it seems unlikely he would be interested in another big time job elsewhere. Bo is younger and surely wants to coach beyond his 50s. Once his big bucks salary finally ends from NU, he will be either getting that 'deferred' salary from Youngstown State that he should have been getting all along, or he will want to seek another job. If he doesn't like the pressure (this I doubt is a consideration in his mind), then he will stay and be happy with a 400K a year YSU long term contract. But, if he is truly a big time program HC that has offers waiting out there, why on Earth would he not want to make a few more million bucks to shore up that retirement play fund balance? No, Bo and Tressel stuck it to NU and I feel confident he'll get a nice pay bump when NU stop sending those big monthly checks. Riley will likely be content to keep on being a true Beaver man and work for a minimal check just to hang out in Corvalis with all his friends and family, etc. I recall Riley saying he wanted to give big time coaching 'one more try' before he retired. He did. It didn't work out the way he probably hoped although the cash was dam good. I don't believe Bo ever really was a "Husker" and never would have been. He is a Buckeye from Ohio.1 point

I have never been disappointed with Buzzard Billy’s. Their alligator is great and somewhat surprisingly, I think their seafood stuffed eggplant is one of the top seafood dishes in town. Outside of Haymarket, I think Carmella’s is very underrated. The Parthenon is great and Mr. Hui’s on 33rd is probably the best Chinese I’ve had in the state.1 point
