actually we should thank our lucky stars they got rid of Eichorst when they did- there would have been no way we could have gotten an AD in place fast enough to get Scott Frost on board. Frost himself even indicated in his PC that if he didn't have a solid AD and Administration he wouldn't have come back.

Going through old newspapers I’ve kept relating to the Huskers. Ran across the OWH edition of Bo’s firing and laughed at these headlines: Shatel: Eichorst Sounds Like a Man With a Plan Shatel: Don’t Expect AD Eichorst to Flounder as Pederson Did in 03 (No he just set out to destroy our program!) Chaitlain: Eichorst Proves He Understands NU Tradition, Standards (HUH?!) I’ll bet both of these reporters cringe at these articles!

I wonder if this is the first position change for several guys. (Farmer to center confirmed?) I thought he played great last year. Maybe the new staff is sold on the current and new crop of LB's that the move is being made to add depth and a spark to the DL. IMHO, Stille was one of the few bright spots on the D last year. Also seems like the weight program is working.... Stille, who is listed at 6-foot-5 and 255 pounds on the school's website, has spent the seven weeks of winter conditioning with head strength coach Zach Duval bulking up and said he's put on about 20 pounds. http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/football/husker-sophomore-stille-moving-back-to-defensive-line/article_569436cf-d4f5-5392-92a8-89dd0d27b6c6.amp.html

Is that what this is all about? Because they're real people, whether you agree with them being here or not.

Yeah but there is also a "best dog poop"... Being the best of a bad category is probably nothing worth quibbling over.

Then you wpuld know illegal aliens are less likely to engage in criminal activity(outside of being here illegaly, working here illegaly, ect.) Than the citizens of the United States. There are alot of people here illegally. Not very many of them are criminals but its just a very visable minority that is used for political warfare https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2018/01/18/trumps-claim-that-immigrants-bring-tremendous-crime-is-still-wrong/

One month later and we are still the Huskies

We?

My daughter informs me that having joined the Gay-Straight Alliance at her high school, there was no shortage of enlightened California GenZ males willing to call her a dyke. This week she met with her teacher about the film project she's directing. The teacher -- a woman -- spoke almost exclusively to her assistant director, a boy. The thing I've hated most about the last couple years is learning that things I really thought had changed, really haven't.

What impresses me is that Bill Moos, according to the story, took two months of listening to what people had to say before he made any changes. So often, CEOs (that's really what Moos is) make changes in their respective organizations and they never once ask those "on the ground" what they think of the changes. As an anecdotal example: where I work the CEO wanted to give a certain company preference ahead of all the other companies we do business with because of the amount of money they spent. Seems logical right? Take care of your best customer? Problem was, by prioritizing a certain company, all other orders had to wait until that particular company was taken care of. Orders went from being fulfilled at roughly 92% on time metric to less than 75% and the majority of our other customers started complaining also. So, after 6 months, we went back to just filling orders as they came in. All of this could have easily been avoided if the "big brain" would have just asked us nobodies who do 99% of the heavy lifting what we thought. Terrific leaders make the best decisions when they start asking for feedback from the ground up. Bill Moos seems like he's that kind of leader. Talk to the people first who will be the most affected by the decision/change. Sometimes what seems like a good idea in theory or on paper doesn't work in reality.

For comparison, he has a presence like Quincy Enunwa. He plays strong and is very aggressive when he goes for the ball. He is a better athlete than Q and even bigger. He plays at a very good program which is also in the best division in CA. Nebraska needs to stay on this kid. He outplayed 5 star kids, who were 2-3 years older than him, when he was 12.

well duh....obama wasn't appointing RWNJ's.

Of course Frost is going to say that. He wants to pump them up. That team, especially on defense sucked. It was aided by very, very bad coaching. You guys need to learn not to get sucked up by offseason PR. It's the main reason you get sucked in and find yourself on the ledge by Week 6.

Same boat. I can't stand watching Trevor Noah on TDS. Jon Stewart was amazing, Colbert's show was fantastic, but everything they've done since those two left has been unappealing. Trevor seems like he's constantly doing that little cutesy/cheesy smile he got laughs with when he was three years old. He looks like a little kid when he does it, and it drives me crazy. They went from a fantastic adult host to a child.

I like the way it went down except I think they should have confronted, pulled Riley off the team buss like they did to Kiffin at USC. Make him find his own way home.

I mean, yeah, I agree about tofu, because I saw it being made on some PBS show the other day. Definitely not appetizing to watch. We just fried some last night in olive oil because I had some in a rice bowl in a Vietnamese restaurant recently & it was amazing. Turned out pretty good on our end... the GF loved it. As far as the treatment of animals goes: it's just an ethical issue for me. My girlfriend absolutely adores animals so she hates the thought of eating them. It also means we have a ton of pets. We recently got a rat because she had one as a kid & loved it. She's also been wanting a hairless animal (we have lots of guinea pigs) & she saw a hairless rat being sold as a feeder rat for snakes. The concept of an animal being sold just to be given as food to another makes me kind of sad. I know, circle of life, yada yada. I guess I'm a softie. But the concept of raising an animal their whole life just to take them to be killed so we can eat them doesn't sit well with me. It just is what it is. But even done humanely, that seems like a cruel, crappy end to their life. And of course I'd sooner free range for the chickens rather than being cooped up in a gigantic building where they barely have room to stretch their legs. @NM11046 yeah, I realize that. Ultimately if I go back to eating more meats I'd like to buy that kind of stuff. It has always been a goal of mine. We just can't really afford to right now on two broke college kids budgets. I haven't really watched anything that's dramatically changed my mind on the subject. One that I watched recently that kind of spurred us to do it was called What the Health on Netflix. I'm a science guy, so I was naturally pretty dubious about of a lot of the claims in the documentary, but it was still interesting. The rest is just if you want to read my ramblings on why I'm at where I'm at with this. For instance, the main guy had several instances throughout where he finds one study that fits his premise & then attempts to call major organizations like the American Diabetes Association and asking why their advice contradicted his one study. That's a bit ridiculous. But he also get the chance to sit down with a couple spokespeople on camera from these advocacy groups to ask them pointed (if easily disputed) questions about nutrition, and these people absolutely refused to engage. It was shocking to see spokespeople shut down & just refuse to discuss things with someone, even if they had an agenda. They were rude, IMO. I expected more from these people as professionals. It was also pointed out the Dairy Checkoff program pays money for fast food places to put more and more cheese on their stuff. It's a rare free-market moment from me, but it seems weird for the government to prop up an industry. I've similarly grown to dislike the ethanol subsidies over time. On further inspection, it seems dairy farmers & importers pay into the checkoff program to fund it, but it seems the government still oversee it. In general I think Americans would be better off if most foods had slightly less cheese...? They also pointed out how some of the big advocacy groups (chiefly the ADA, the American Cancer Society & the American Heart Association) take a TON of support from Big Pharma. I'm not saying it's not good to support these places. I'd rather have Big Pharma money helping them than pushing more drugs on people. But my take on this is similar to how I feel about curing cancer: Did you ever see the episode of Family Guy where Lois's dad gets cancer & miraculously cured? Brian confronts him on it & he basically tells him it's far more profitable to treat cancer than cure it. Thus a cure for cancer is going to eat a big chunk of Big Pharma's profit margins. My main beef is with the ADA: they are happy to help people live WITH their condition rather than take steps that could potentially reverse it. You can't make that case for cancer or heart disease. But there is a chance someone could reduce or eliminate their need for Type 2 diabetes meds with diet & exercise choices. But that would eat into the diabetes med market, which is massive. There was also an MD in the doc who claimed there are some fairly immediate, radical changes on the progression of cardiovascular disease with a switch to a plant-based diet. I'm looking into this further to see if there's truth to it. I'm hoping this doesn't sound conspiratorial, but it just gave me a lot to think about. In general I just came away thinking a more plant-based diet couldn't possibly be bad. It hasn't slowed down my strength at all - given, I'm slowly transitioning that way - but I just hit a new max on bench yesterday.

I'm just guessing here but maybe the top (most senior) administrator for women's (not men's) sports. The other choice would be the highest ranking female (not male) administrator in the athletic department. That seems a little archaic so I doubt it's the latter.

I stopped watching CC a long time ago. It went downhill after John Stewart left.

Oh, I thought we were talking about legit talk show hosts. Seth Meyer and Craig Ferguson are a whole new level of bad. I didn't include them originally because I figured everyone obviously hated them. Can't figure out how Meyer is even given air time. He's the worst of the worst.

Piggybacking on what NM had already asked, I've heard the argument on this very board that a possible underlying cause of gun violence in our country is the phenomenon of our society having "broken boys." I take that to mean ones who do not have adequate social support at home or lack strong maternal/paternal guidance which pushes them toward social isolation and thus makes them more susceptible to perpetrating gun violence. Do you buy that? Is there any evidence supporting that as a possible cause or is it just an unfortunate coincidence? If being a male is a factor, is it at all related to that stat you hear tossed around a lot about suicide about how men are more likely to opt for a gun as a mean and that they're more likely to follow through than women? Lastly, given your knowledge, do you personally believe restricting gun access for those with a diagnosed mental illness is a fruitful avenue for curbing gun violence? No judgement. Thanks zoo, this is an awesome idea for a thread. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

STAND WITH NON-VIOLENT OFFENDERS & OPPOSE EXPENSIVE, INEFFECTIVE SENTENCING: Call/Resistbot/Email: Your two senators (look up). Script: Hi. I’m calling in support of the Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act of 2018 (S. 1917) which is just out of committee. This bipartisan effort addresses the problem of expensive, ineffective mandatory sentences for non-violent drug offenders. It also empowers judges in sentencing and funds programs that aid re-entry and reduce re-offending. Will [name] co-sponsor and vote for S. 1917?

Doesnt help when all the owners are old white dudes who care about $$$ mainly(not all).

Kids being recruited today were barely alive or not even born the last time Nebraska had any sense of value or tradition. If they understand any of what happened in the 90's, it's because their parents are telling them about it. From the moment Tom Osborne insisted Frank Solich be named the head coach after he retired, all sense of identity started to slowly dissipate into what just transpired last season. 20 years of irrelevancy is the identity of this program right now. Until there is a coach or a team that changes that, I wouldn't bank on the "love of the Huskers" as any kind of test whether an in-state kid will do anything great for the team. Good players want to go where they think they can win. Having said that, I admire every local kid today that says they have always loved the Huskers. It speaks volumes to their loyalty. And that should be appreciated.

I’m sorry but Nebraska needed help from several teams the last week of the season to win the outright championship in a very weak conference. Sure it was nice to win the Conference but to have another embarrassing showing in the B1G tournament and regionals for the 3rd straight year is embarrassing hence the miserable comment. Erstad in his 6th year still can’t develop his players. There’s no growth at all especially at pitching. Can you honestly say that you’ve seen improvement in the baseball program under Erstad?

Cake eater...

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.

Why do you continue to ignore the responses to these 2 comments? After centuries of men being involved in sports, men's sports should be able to stand on their own and pay for themselves. Well, that's not the case for pretty much any sport other than football and basketball. So you want there to be 2 college sports. You say things are so unfair for male swimmers, male divers, and male soccer players. There isn't a single men's soccer program in the entire country that turns a profit. I haven't found any swim teams that turn a profit, and I'm not even going to look up diving. Your argument has been terrible from the beginning and still is. College athletics isn't supposed to be about money making, and that's what a lot of people like about it. Even the athletic departments that don't turn a profit overall see the benefit in having an athletic department.

Has a nasty bull rush in his hudl film and great pursuit. Keep that California pipeline open!
