That's the entire reason the 1st Amendment exists - to allow open discussion about our policies and politics. I think we need socialism in parts of our society and economy like law enforcement, fire fighting (cue teachercd complaining), the military, infrastructure (roads, bridges, airports), etc. The discussion shouldn't be about whether capitalism or socialism is good or bad or whatever - it should be about what policies we should implement to solve our problems and make our society and country a better place for us. Various "-isms" can give us ideas to form these solutions and to debate their merits, but none of the "-isms" will ever be the end-all, be-all for all of our issues.

Hey, that's a good first post! I've got this ...

trump: i can shoot somebody on times square and my supporters won't leave me

I bet all these Republicans are worrying themselves sick hoping they've worded their statements strongly enough that no one notices when they continue to do nothing to actually address the situation.

Pretty much sums it up...

Does anyone know when fall camp starts?

I wasn't sure where to put this, but i found this youtube video posted elsewhere -- a couple of FSU fans breaking down some of UCF plays vs USF, and really gushing over Frost, calling him the best of the new hires (even over Taggart, their 'new guy'.). Comparing him to Urban Meyer -- "No one could tell WHY Urban was going to be successful, they just knew he was going to be". Anyway - if you have ~40 minutes, enjoy this video. I thought it was great.

This is becoming huge. There are a lot of allegations and puzzle pieces that are starting to fall in place, and too many coincidences to just be happenstance. The Reddit comments mention all the other puppets Putin tried to create in Europe and how they resemble the Soviet puppets of old. I had actually forgotten that Russia tried to hack Marcon's campaign in the 11th hour. Glad his team was cunning enough to lay a trap for them. It's so sad that I massively respect Macron and Trudaeu as world leaders, over the US President. The American Public, all of us need to wake up. This is about to become much larger than we ever thought. There are no longer Trump supporters and Never Trumpers. You are either an American or a Russian sympathizer, and the latter is a traitor.

Can you imagine Martinez with the 83 OL and the 95 DL? He’s the only QB on this list to not have a represenitive OL also on the list.

Composite 4 star 89 ranking. Yeah! Now we got a good lineman

You mean, the fans that nearly ran him out of town, and right into Colorado's outstretched arms?

I'm shocked Putin would take his dog for a walk without even a leash. So well behaved!

Listened to Schaefer on S&B yesterday. Said all the CBs to NU have come from Wiltfong speaking directly to Papa Henrich. Said he still thinks NU is in the lead. Sounded like he kinda thought the CB to Wisky was from a less than credible source and or wrong family member.

I'm curious to see how Fox News handles this, but determined to keep my lunch down.

I was always very concerned about Trump becoming President. But I never thought he'd be this bad. I saw him bringing in legitimate experts, using their expertise, then taking credit for it. I could have lived with that. It would have tilted right, but it might also have taken on some bloated GOP excess. He had adversaries on both sides. But Donald Trump appears to have sunk further into a private agenda that is petty at best, calculated treason at worst, and extremely dangerous either way. He is not the strongman voters thought they were electing. America's enemies don't fear Trump: they see a U.S. leader who can be manipulated like a child. At this point we need to ignore Trump. He's shown us who he is. All the pressure should be on the GOP (when will they take action against their President rather than get burned by history) and on Fox News (when will they stop playing the role of Pravda and admit something is terribly wrong with their President)

I basically did, had a signed offer letter and start date, pending my background check. I've had this degree for 20 years, have had multiple jobs in those 20 years and never had an issue. So either those other companies took my word for my degree or this new company has an awful third party doing the background check.

I disagree. I was a Republican for quite a while. However, I saw the shift happening in real time and left the Republican party about 8 years ago. Historically it was southern Democrats who were the slave owners, creators of Jim Crow laws and segregation. Historically, democrats were the nazis, white nationalists, and racist piles of excrement. It wasn't until about 10 years ago that party affiliation began to shift. Some were just a little slow to see the change happening, or were in denial. But no...the Republican party of today IS NOT the Republican Party I was a part of and believed in. The (Rs) of today are a disgrace.

A little bit more about the arrest of the Russian National, Maria Butina, who is charged with acting as an agent for the Russian Federation within the U.S., because it is a BFD. A very informative Reddit post laid this out fairly well. She was arrested Friday but we're just finding out today because the indictment was sealed. She is charged with trying to advance Russian interests within our shores, via relationships fostered through someone the indictment terms "U.S. Person 1," a U.S. citizen & political operative she met in Moscow in 2013. U.S. Person 1 introduced her to American political contacts, including "GUN RIGHTS ORGANIZATION." I'll leave it up to you to determine who "GUN RIGHTS ORGANIZATION" might be. She told U.S. Person 1 in March 2015 that "POLITICAL PARTY 1" would likely gain control of the U.S. government after the 2016 elections. Again, you'll have to work out who "POLITICAL PARTY 1" might be. There is video of her straight up asking Trump himself in 2015 what his foreign policy vis-a-vis Russia would be should he win, specifically whether he would continue sanctions against them. He spits out some predictable anti-Obama blather and states he would likely get along with Putin very well and likely drop sanctions. U.S. Person 1 sent an email in October of 2016 to an acquaintance covering a variety of topics but stating verbatim "Unrelated to specific presidential campaigns, I've been involved in secruing a VERY private line of communication between the Kremlin and key POLITICAL PARTY 1 leaders through, of all conduits, the [GUN RIGHTS ORGANIZATION]." Likewise, he included a tweet pointing out the following: Torshin is who Butina works for. He's a former Russian Senator but also a high-ranking Russian Mafia member wanted in Spain for money laundering charges. Spanish law enforcement wiretapped him resulting in a tape discussing Don Jr. which has been handed over to Mueller. The Spanish prosecutor: "Don Jr. should be worried." All of which is to say, again, this is a pretty BFD.

What about the mosquitoes?

CB from ND writer

QB Tommie Frazier - He is just a winner (On the list - I think Gill should be the $4 QB) RB Lawrence Phillips - if not for off field issues - probably a Heisman winner and perhaps the best ever as he would have had one more year to compete if he didn't leave early. WR Matt Davison - just need a good blocker wt Frazier and Phillips - besides he showed he could catch it when it counted OL - 1982 - While it is debatable which was better - 83 or 95 for $1 the 82 is the best bargain with little to no drop off. (boy to have any of those lines now would be amazing) D - 1995 - Defense wins championships and they proved it - consistently. They dominated and shut down the Florida Fun and Gun. Suh may have been the best ever defensive player but the 95 D overall was better top to bottom.

Trump will tweet in the morning how this was the bigliest and most successful summit in human history.

if satan himself were running as a democrat against trump i would have to flip a coin to decide who i would vote for. anyone besides donnie or the devil is getting my vote at this point. what a disgrace don the con is to our country. i hope america can recover from this presidency within a generation.

The BEST interpretation you'll hear from Trump supporters or right-leaning folks on the Russia matter is "Who knows how it will work out?" You've seen it right here on Huskerboard. That tact ignores a mountain of evidence about why this man shouldn't be trusted alone with Vladimir Putin. At best it's indifference and at worst it's willful ignorance of the harm this will cause. This is about the closest to broad consensus we can get as a nation anymore. Something is up with Russia, and our president's conduct is extremely suspect. We will have to see what Mueller ultimately says on the matter. It seems like he's hurtling towards a conclusion that will ultimately be very damning for Trump and the GOP itself. Winning issue for the Dems, right? So we should probably resign ourselves to another 6 years of GOP control.

@Husker_Bohunk I'd say lack of buy-in was a bigger factor in Riley's third year than his first. Any players who had ever bought in with Riley turned around and sold it...

Sam M is currently doing a live chat on the OWH website if anyone is interested. It doesn't appear that you need to be a subscriber to read along.

So in your current situation, you basically have unlimited vacation as it is, eh? (bad joke, too soon, sorry) Seriously though, this sucks. You said it was a former boss who recruited you to the position? I would be pissed with her. I mean, if you called me for the job and you already know me, but then you say you can't verify this basic info? Bad form, bad leadership. Too many red flags to even want this job, but it sucks that you already quit the prior gig. In hindsight, don't leave a job until you have the next gig already lined up, with the terms, start date, etc written in blood.

I wouldn't necessarily use an O lineman on a 4 win team as an example of how freshmen can play on the O line. If you ave freshmen playing on the O line, they better be absolute freaks or you got major issues. I think we know what side of that Nebraska fell on last year.

I have not done any research. But how many OL are actually ready to roll as a true freshman? I can see a QB, RB or WR. DB perhaps. But things like LB, DL, OL I would think need some college weight training to truly be ready to play. Those are most brute force physical positions. I dont see a high school kid coming in with man strength to play P5 football.

It's always amazing to me when self-declared Christians speak out against Socialism.

Our Trump apologists will just blink and look the other way on that.

Someone tried to insult me by calling me a corn eating Cornhusker fan. I don't see how that's an insult. :shrug:

And may be the reason Beilema left. I don't know that either really explained the curious cases of their leaving a stable and successful program for ones that were not. I'm not one to assume he meddles, but there are pretty substantial coincidences as to both the record of these coaches outside Wisconsin and a commonality in how they run their programs. It's therefore natural for people to look for a common link.

Lots of talk here about financial aspects of Cortezs proposals, but i was noticing a few that wouldn't cost a thing. They are just common human decency.

I'm making a new drinking game - drink every time Sam whines that he didn't get to watch practice.

$2 Turner Gill $3 Lawrence Phillips $5 Johnny Rodgers $1 1982 O-line $4 2009 defense Note: The 1982 O-line at $1 is the best bargain on the board. Including TE, the '82 O-line had an Outland winner and All American (Remington), a 3rd Team All American (OT Randy Theis) and an Honorable Mention All American (TE Jaime Williams). Of the six positions (including TE) four were All Conference that year. /imho

You may as well be asking an ostrich to fly

That rambling made no coherent point at all. It was just a bunch of sentences out together. Can you try to make your points clearly and concisely?

Was this sarcasm? I couldn't tell. You've got the saying wrong first of all, it's "no news is good news." We could be hearing about arrests, hospitalizations, fights, etc. No news seems more like they are focused and aren't exactly looking for attention right now. I like it. I'd much rather go into the season underrated than overrated. Also, I like to hear team news, but I completely understand the desire to push all the reporters out for awhile. The coaches have work to do and they don't need unnecessary distractions.
