  2. Do I think this staff can use their success from last year to help in recruiting? Yes. Will it work on every kid? No. Next question.

  5. Please tell me where I said that this video proves anything implicitly. I said it was interesting. I believe it is interesting because it shows a white male physically assaulting an officer in an extremely violent manner. That white male is not shot. If it proves anything, it proves you can physically attack an officer and not be killed. It proves that you can disobey police orders and not be killed. It proves that you can be behaving belligerently and not be killed. It proves that police can handle a situation without killing someone, even if they're being physically threatened in a violent manner. I wish that kind of courtesy had been shown to Walter Scott, Eric Garner, Stephon Clark and plenty of others. I specifically compared the video to Betty Shelby, who shot and killed Terence Crutcher, an unarmed black man who had his hands in the air. Charles Kinsey pictured below was laying on his back with his hands in the air, and he still gets perceived as a big enough threat to be shot. But when a white guy tackles a cop to the ground, he's not perceived as enough of a threat to be shot. I find that challenging to understand and accept.

  6. I think it's a fantastic move. Dems or liberals are often accused of having all the aggression of a limp noodle or a wet paper bag. The running joke is that they think they'll beat Republicans with their own words while Republicans are busy just slapping them around. I applaud this move away from that dynamic. Dems come off as milquetoast a lot of the time, but they have ton of lawyerly types in the party. About time they put them to good use. An interesting point somebody made on Reddit: If Trump pardons someone, that is an admission of guilt that is admissible in civil court. Meaning that person would be vulnerable to this lawsuit and discovery therein that could compel a lot of additional evidence. The argument is that Russia's hack of DNC emails constitutes trespassing on their property and thus Russia should be held financially liable. I personally agree with that take. I'm personally tired of watching Trump cronies and family members (namely Don Jr. and Jared) walk around acting like they did nothing wrong or will face no repercussions. Bring on the repercussions.

  7. Just like I suspected....... thanks for confirming my point. Your past posts on this matter already let me know everything I needed to know. You just don't care for me calling you out on pure B.S. as I've done in the past. You're making assumptions and trying to pass it off as fact IMO. SMH And just so we're clear I've got zero issue calling cops out when they're in the wrong. I do have an issue when you try and paint us all with a broad brush with ridiculous comments like the one above.

  8. Think most husk fans who follow recruiting, and understand the situation, would see going 1/2 on the Burke kids as a win. Hickman is a tremendous player in his own right and would be a big win for Frost imo

  9. I don't know why this is so hard to see. Look at the rosters. The four returning starters on the OL are on the Red. The best two receivers are on the Red. The TE that has been getting a lot of pub is on the Red. The two QBs largely considered to be the front-runners are on the Red. This staffs hand-picked RB is on the Red. There are three returning starters on the DL on Red. There is a four-year starting LB on the Red. There are four returning starting DBs on the Red. And that is what Frost said they were basically going to do. Are we just looking for something to argue about?

  11. (Over-analysis incoming) I'm genuinely wondering if Will Honas being on white is about more than just depth. Nick Bahe interviewed Ruud yesterday on Game Time and asked Ruud who he thought had been standing out, who Ruud was going to the other coaches to say good things about after practice, etc. Ruud mentioned 3-4 players and Honas wasn't one of them. Bahe then followed up by asking 'what do you think about Will Honas?' Ruud (paraphrasing here) said something along the lines of he needs to be more sure of his decisions but that he's been working hard and going after it every day. Then this morning, DB (in his usual, mystical wizardry) said what Ruud said yesterday aligned with DB's personal evaluation after having seen practice recently, and now that Ruud said something, DB felt it was OK to start diving into Honas a bit more and the 'assumed starter' tag people have been giving him. My vibe is that Honas may not be where people think he is right now i.e. he's not a sure starter. (Over-analysis ending)

  13. I'm looking at it the other way, not as an implication that the cops in the video would have acted racist if the guy had been black, but rather that they showed it's possible to NOT shoot people even if they are disobeying police orders or threatening or acting violently. @Fru sums it up pretty well:

  17. In no way shape or form did I call you lame, I called your post lame and said it was B.S. I stand by that.......... You are again painting things with a broad brush with the bolded as the example above. Now you're trying to say that white folks have a better experience with the police than minorities which just simply isn't necessarily true in that broad of a sense. I am in no way shape or form trying to diminish what some folks are saying in reference to how they're treated by some officers across the country, I'm certain that some of that stuff goes on, but I'm also certain some folks will use any excuse to justify their behavior and slant their interactions with the police so any observer will side with them and sympathize with their poor decision making. I will argue with ANYONE about the topic if they try to paint this picture "Police are racist." Watching that video, what you're saying is your opinion and in no way should be taken as fact. You simply don't have any idea what would happen if a minority would've been the suspect in this case. You are making an assumption and, most likely, and incorrect assumption at that. You say you found the video interesting, your post certainly didn't even allow a rational discussion to occur on the matter. It was simply a "fire for effect" type of post IMO which is certainly going to get a response from me as I've shown in the past. Yes, your past posting history on the matter is certainly in my mind when you continue to show the same distaste for police over and over again from what I've observed. So it is you that doesn't seem to want to have an open discussion in the matter and even attempt to see my point of view. I certainly take offense to being painted with a broad brush and will continue to do so until folks stop doing that. I've acknowledged in the past that law enforcement can always get better and we should constantly be looking for better ways of doing things. However, I've also said that society as a whole needs to understand what it's doing wrong, be willing to have a little self-reflection, and change their behavior for things to get better. This is NOT a one-way street where only one side is at fault for all the wrongs. Law enforcement unfairly gets the blame most of the time and society is losing good cops on a daily basis because of that.

  20. I saw this on the Today Show this morning and it looked great. Brown Sugar Peppered Bacon: 10 Thick-Cut Bacon Slices 1/3 Cup Packed, Plus 2 Tsp. Light Brown Sugar 2 T. Black Pepper Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wired rack on the foil. Place as many bacon slices as you can fit on the rack. Stir together the brown sugar and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the bacon with the brown sugar mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Bake until the bacon is crispy, 35-40 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway-(on same rack)-once or twice during baking time.

  23. I believe this is a horrible move by the Democratic Party. This does nothing but make any investigation look more partisan. This lawsuit should happen (if ever) after the investigation is done and evidence was presented that shows this happened.

  27. So the #1's are on Red, which I agree looks likely. But you previously posted that the #1&2 are on Red and the #3&4 are on White. But looking at the rosters, I don't think that's the case. No way Avery Roberts is in the top 2 and Will Honas is in the bottom of the depth chart. Same for other guys. I've speculated that it's #1&4 on Red and #2&3 on White, but it might be #1 on Red and everyone else just spread around. That's what I'm pointing out. And what Frost said they were going to do was vague, so saying you know the exact layout is silly.

  29. I'm not an expert in how this whole process goes. Grassley is saying he's moving forward with a vote on the Judiciary Committee. So, I'm assuming this is a vote to send it to the floor....for which McConnell can then block? So, Grassley is basically calling McConnell's bluff and forcing him to officially make the call to not send it to the floor. Interesting.

  31. The former CEO of Vue resigned, the new guy is getting rid of all the bad policies, so imo at this point this is the best service hands down. I haven't looked at the others for over 6 months so they likely changed as well.

  33. I went through last football season with only PS Vue. I don't remember all the differences but I tried Hulu live, Youtube TV and Directv Now and concluded PS vue was the best bang for the buck. Deal breakers with other services: Channel Packages Lack of DVR Crap interface Worst part of PS Vue: Can only watch from home, to watch anything outside of your home network you have to use that channels service and log in with your PS Vue password, so you need a million apps to leave the house. (WatchESPN, BTN2GO, etc, etc,) I travel a lot so this is a pain. Edit: The CEO of Vue resigned in November, and the new guy changed this policy. PS Vue usually has a free 15 day trial, so if you want it for just the spring game it would be free...

  34. Maybe not. But Armstrong had twice the pass attempts as Frazier, Frost and Crouch, so his interception ratio wasn't much worse (and better in the case of Crouch). I guess the point is that when you have the security of one of the best offensive lines, running back corps, and defensive units in all college football, you not only play better and look better, but you win more games and get away with stuff.

  35. much will be revealed. Living in Minnesota, I had lunch with my big ten connections yesterday. Gophers and Badgers mostly. My gopher friends are sick of Wisconsin and want Neb to knock them off the top spot since they know their team, the gophers can't. We all agree it is time to unseat Ohio State and Michigan. No one seems to know what to expect from the huskers in this neck of the woods but all are genuinely disappointed in the Huskers and their performance in the conference. One of my friends works the chain gang for gopher games and said the biggest prick in the big ten coaches is Jim Harbaugh. As a chain gang guy he spends much of the games in pretty close proximity to the head coaches and has some crazy stories to tell. His favorite is the guy at Northwestern who, he said, is polite and friendly, talkative and genuine in wanting everyone to enjoy the game.

  38. I'm a little late to the discussion on this ..... but, data I have seen this week show that 54% (or similar) of white men support him. You're saying this is due to his economic ideology? If so, wouldn't that align more to age and go across sex and race lines?

  39. Ive got a pretty good source that seems to think the current pecking order is #1 Gebbia #2 Martinez #2B Bunch As he put it, Gebbia right now is pretty clearly #1 followed by Martinez and not much separation between Martinez and Bunch. He seems to think the only thing holding Martinez back is his youth and lack of college experience, both of which could show improvement very soon. He was pretty impressed with all of them. He didn’t comment on Vedral, probably because it was assumed he’d be ineligible this year. This guy has seen some practices and is very close to a player on the team. No....I’m not going to say who it is so don’t ask.

  40. It's not an assumption. It's what Frost said they were going to do. Going off the list of guys I listed above, it's pretty obvious that most of the guys in the top of the depth chart are on the Red. It doesn't look like it's 100% that way but the vast majority are. I'd say there are 9 offensive starters on Red with Spielman (not listed) being a 10th. Maybe not quite so much on defense but still at least 7 with Honas the only likely starter on the White - depending on the outcome of Dixon's appeal.

  41. To run Frost's offense, I'd have to go with Ganz. His 67% completion rating is why I go with him. Effective enough with his legs that teams have to be aware of that. Has the intangibles ie toughness, attitude, etc...... Overall, many of the QB's listed are better "athletes", but his passing sets him up for a better skill/system fit IMHO. Had he been here in 2009, we win the NC.........
