RUN THE DAMN BALL

Plans to OV here week 1.

According to 247, Marlon Lucky was a .9950 in 2005

Boy I'm sure getting a good laugh out of the conservative punditry world universally deciding over the past couple days that somehow between Maxine Waters & the SHS incident at the restaurant, Dems just coughed up their midterm Blue Wave over to the GOP. I hate shallow, overly simple hot takes. This is a pretty good article pushing back on all those people saying how wrong & stupid it was of liberals to support such a move. I do tire of the "Well, yeah, the GOP is bad, but Dems are pretty broken right now too" takes. These parties aren't in the same stratosphere of dysfunction right now. Plus, how funny is it to see the entire anti-P.C. crowd up in arms about a Trumpet being politely asked to leave a restaurant?

It really is a shame that electing Trump made racist white people feel like this was acceptable again. It's cultural backsliding. t's

This thread became kind of creepy

What a business owner 'should do' and 'does do' are two different things. Just understand that it goes both ways. If a baker doesn't want to bake a cake for someone they disagree with, morally, then they should have that right. It doesn't mean that their decision is the best one for all, just maybe the best for them. The same goes for a restaurant that doesn't agree with a patron, morally. They have the same right. If you refuse to sell/make something for someone you disagree with, then don't be surprised if certain people stop buying your product. My biggest problem is that some people look at the one situation and think that it's bad but then applaud the other. You vote with your wallet. If I don't agree with how someone runs their company, then I just won't buy their product. Supply and Demand or something like that. Both sides (extremes) are blinded by their own views and can't see the other viewpoint. Personally, I would have made the cake and served Sanders at the restaurant, but I also understand that each owner had the right to refuse to do so.

Shutdown Fullcast did a show about the Big Ten West. And which team did they focus on? The Huskers, of course. Because no other team is as interesting, charming, or drives as nice of a car as Nebraska. Obligatory NSFW language warning. They describe Nebraska as a secretive American inner sanctum, much like Wakanda. They dub us "Wacornda" and I think I'm stealing this line and claiming it's my own at parties. Also, they describe Hawkeye from The Avengers as "The only superhero who skips arm day."

Whoa whoa let’s not get carried away.

Good Lord. If you would actually spend a little time here, you would realize there are quite a few of us that are fairly middle of the road or lean conservative. And...on some issues, quite conservative. But...flyby posts like this don't allow you to realize that.

I refuse service all the time, including from my own clientele. I will NOT work on a home PC for anyone, I will not support a home PC for anyone, including my business clients. No matter what you do, something is always missing, can't be found or just "gone" when dealing with home users who have royally f'd up their computer(normally because they are lucky to even be able to turn the damn thing on). Any business owner should be able to deny service to anyone, anytime for any reason, they should also be able to accept the bad press and loss of business if they so choose. I do not believe a business should have any public political views, a business does not have a vote, it's not a person. Businesses should keep their political views to themselves as the company has employees who do vote, and I can promise you, not all of them have the same opinion.

This is what happens when you have an election system that doesn't elect the winner of the popular vote. You get an artificially stacked Supreme Court who upholds racially religiously biased policies like this.

As to point 2, so what. I'm not saying that to be argumentative or dismissive. The fact is every coach gets the most leeway in year 1 - use it. One of the traits of successful coaching changes is a tendency to make necessary changes even if that will upset people. Tommy didn't have the ability to run their offense and they didn't have the ability to effectively use Tommy. When we look at parallels to our current situation, we see the opposite approach. Guys like Frost and Held fully realize there is a segment of this fanbase that identifies Nebraska football with a fullback, a pair of tights and a ground and pound style. They're understanding, but completely unapologetic in doing it their way. They know their system works, they're very competent in it, and folks just need to accept it. Some won't. There will be a point where it's 3rd and goal and they fail to punch it in and the call in shows and messageboards will be buzzing. The smart coach realizes every system has some situation where it's weak like this, and you're never going to please all people.

If anyone wants to talk more about the AAF and not just .500 Mike, I started a thread last week:

The family that owns the company in the past gave millions to dollars to anti-LGBT groups promoting Christian values, specifically working against same sex marriage. The founders son went on to make some comments about their values that ticket people off. They've pretty much backed off public stances on the matter since then & it appears the founders foundation stopped donating to the anti-LGBT groups. You can read more about it here.

Plans to release a Top 7 during the Dead Period (in the next month). Says Nebraska will get one of his five OVs.

I believe a business should be able to refuse to serve a customer. I honestly think it's a legal issue and financial issue for the business. Prime example. I have refused to quote projects because I flat out didn't want to do business with the person. a) I was doing a quote a project when I lived in Des Moines. I was on the quote and in the last 10 minutes of the meeting, the home owner totally changed attitudes and was a total jack ass. I had a bad feeling that I was being set up by the customer to be totally screwed. I didn't even write the quote even though the guy kept leaving nasty messages for me because I wouldn't quote it. b) I didn't quote a project one time because I knew another contractor the customer screwed in paying. c) I also have refused quoting projects because I thought the project would end up in a lawsuit some how. I also know of a situation where when Ted Turner and Jane Fonda bought a ranch in the Sandhills, they went into town to the local bar. The local bar owner was a Vietnam Vet and refused to allow Jane into his bar. I honestly don't have a problem with that. I would also have to say, that if I had to make a decision and knowing what we all know now about the case, I would probably have to side on the side of cake baker. He didn't refuse to sell to gay people. I just refused to be a part of that one event he wasn't comfortable with. This situation with Sanders and the restaurant and the congresswoman asking for everyone to confront Trump people in public makes me uncomfortable because of where we are right now as a country. I don't feel one bit sorry for Sanders or anyone in the administration even if not one restaurant would serve them. Screw them. BUT....the tensions in America are so high right now, I think we need to pick our fights. I think the anti Trump people can win better and cause less problems if they prove they are above the crap the Administration is spewing. It seems like right now, each side is making this a race to the gutter.

If the #1 receiver is a poor man's hakeem nicks this must be a poor draft for WR

If you're looking for evidence that the guy is a top-notch qb coach, look no further:

I also heard he makes some mean Sanguinetti and meatballs.

He looks fast enough to play safety on tape; he was outrunning players as a WR. His balls skills look really good too. Big guy who can track, high point, and is agressive after the ball. Looks like he would be a great pick up to me.

It likely could make a stable comeback. But implementing tariffs on foreign produced steel from the jump isn't going to work because several manufacturing places need it to continue operating until American made steel could possibly keep up with demand.

I wonder if Trump ever considered subsidies instead. American subsidies on corn is what put millions of Mexican farmers out of business in the 90s after NAFTA took effect. Anyhow, my argument has always been that it's too late to save American steel/aluminum manufacturing or return it to what it was, and we don't necessarily need to do that in the first place. It could eventually pay off after several years but I don't know whether we can weather those years.

You're right. Poor wording on my part. Race is likely a factor, but not the primary factor.

After dominating the 15-match pool play round, Team USA sits alone atop the standings at 13-2. That includes a Team USA record number of consecutive matches won via sweep, eight straight. The final roster is set for the championship tournament, the Final 6. U.S. Women Excited for VNL Final Six The U.S. Women’s National Team finished atop the inaugural FIVB Volleyball Nations League preliminary round standings with an impressive 13-2 record over five grueling weeks. The Americans competed in five different countries and on three continents during the preliminary round. Now, Team USA takes another step forward in its development as it takes part in the Volleyball Nations League Final Six June 27 to July 1 in Nanjing, China. The VNL Final Six has the top five teams from the preliminary round, plus host China playing in two pools of three teams. The second-seeded Americans (13-2, 40 points) will face sixth-seeded Turkey (11-4, 35 points) on June 27 at 3 a.m. ET followed by third-seeded Serbia (12-3, 37 points) on June 29 at 3 a.m. ET. Ironically, Turkey and Serbia are the only teams to defeat the Americans in the preliminary round. “We certainly had some weaknesses exposed during our Turkey and Serbia,” U.S. Women’s National Team Head Coach Karch Kiraly said. “Against Turkey, we learned that we needed to stabilize some things in serve-receive, and to continue to emphasize some new, less comfortable offensive routes. Against Serbia, neither team was at its best after their long travel to Argentina. The main takeaway from that loss was that we have to make improvements in defending out-of-system players. Bottom line: we are excited to have a chance to play the two teams that beat us in 15-match schedule.” China (7-8, 22 points), the top seed as hosts, will face fourth-seeded Brazil (12-3, 35 points) and fifth-seeded Netherlands (12-3, 34 points) in its pool. The VNL semifinals will have pool winners facing the opposing pool’s second-place team on June 30. Medal round matches are set for July 1. Team USA will make one change to its roster for the VNL Final Six as outside hitter Madi Kingdon Rishel (Phoenix, Arizona) will replace Sarah Wilhite (Eden Prairie, Minnesota) on the 14-player roster. While the Team USA roster has remained consistent from the opening week to the Final Six round with just two changes total, the same cannot be said for the personnel on the court for each match. Kiraly penciled in 12 different starting lineup during the 15-match preliminary round. “Being able to play at a high level with so many different lineups speaks really well to the depth we are blessed with,” Kiraly said on the various lineups he has put on the court. “We feel comfortable competing with any two middles, any of our three main outsides and either opposite, all hitting off Carli and passing with Kelsey, plus running the double sub with Micha and whichever opposite isn’t starting. We are extremely fortunate to be able to play so many different lineups, to conserve energy in a long five-week, 15-match series and to have chances to learn more about our personnel.” Team USA struggled early in the VNL, having just a couple training days with the full team available before traveling to Lincoln, Nebraska. After splitting their first two matches on home soil, the Americans made a major switch to the lineup that resulted in a 10-match win streak with wins over Final Six participants Brazil, China and the Netherlands. “We did struggle a little bit in Lincoln,” Kiraly said. “The big part of the turnaround was stabilizing our serve reception, as Kelsey switched positions to libero. She has really embraced the role, and is diving into it and taking great pride in making us better in a new position. We are very grateful for that.” Bartsch-Hackley was Team USA’s leading scorer during the 15-match preliminary round. She tallied 165 kills, 12 blocks and 15 aces for 192 points for 10th place in the VNL rankings. Bartsch-Hackley converted 47.97 percent of her attacks for points, ranking second in Best Spiker. She held a .387 hitting efficiency (165-32-344). Bartsch-Hackley ranked sixth in Best Server with a 0.30 ace average (15) over USA sets played. “Bartschy has been a force, and that comes as no surprise to anyone who knows her game,” Kiraly said. “She has a big arm, and when she is playing around other strong players – Carli, the middles, the opposites and people like Jordan and Kim – she has a real chance to shine. She is doing a great job and contributing in lots of areas, including being very efficient at the service line. She had a nice run to finish the China match. We were down 20-15, sided out once, she terminated to earn the service back, then served nine straight points to end that match.” Robinson, who started the final 13 matches at libero, averaged 1.88 digs per set (94) of USA competition to rank fourth in Best Digger. She ranked third in Best Receiver with a 19.67 efficiency percent, handling 239 receptions with 63 excellent passes. Lloyd, who started all 15 VNL preliminary matches, averaged 16.89 running sets per set for second in Best Setter. She ranked sixth in Best Digger with 1.60 digs per set Larson ranked 33rd in scoring with 129 points (101 kills, 14 blocks and 14 aces), followed closely behind by Hill with 126 points (110 kills, 9 blocks, 7 aces) for 36th place. Hill led all receivers with a 22.32 receiving efficiency, handling 233 receptions with 61 excellent passes. Gibbemeyer averaged 0.52 blocks per set (26 blocks) of USA competition for 11th place in Best Blocker. Rachael Adams ranked 25th in Best Blocker with a 0.38 block average (19) of USA sets played. Larson ranked 10th in Best Server with a 0.28 ace average (14) in USA sets played. Hill ranked 20th in Best Spiker with a 37.40 kill percent and .256 hitting efficiency.

This is disgusting. Essentially the "This is America, we speak English!" idiot everyone has seen at one point or another put into official policy.

Or like Nebraska getting............. wait I can’t remember ever getting a .99 kid

Yes sorry sometimes the copy and paste messes up

Apparently so....

Players?

Interesting article pertaining to this.

I meant, he's already taken the SAT. Sorry if that was a little vague. Almost a month before his ACT - and the article said he was studying for it daily. I think he'll make it - he's a bright kid, who just lost his way for awhile.

Personally, I wouldn't have really minded if Riley brought in someone else to start over Armstrong in his first year, as I was never all that high on him. In the end, though, I don't think changing any details like that would have changed the overall outcome - the only real way to fix the Riley era would have been to not hire Mike Riley in the first place.

They're no Alabama. We're supposed to only offer kids Alabama has offered. Recruits like it when schools take a long time to notice them.

Now it depends on what your GPA is

Nothing to do with the OP's point but this is a heck of a race.

I know a male who can't talk while planning on eating food within the next 30 minutes.
