I said before I wasn't going to comment on this any further, but Urban, Gene Smith, Zac Smith just need to shut up. They have already done enough damage to the school, athletic department, and most importantly to Courtney Smith and her kids. Just stop! Meyer and Gene Smith are lucky to even have a job at this point.

Not *that* Riley. Tim Riley, damnit!

First off....like I have said. From the President on down, stop demonizing these people. The vast majority just want a better life, came here for a job (actually want to work), are less prone to be a violent criminal than native born Americans.....etc. Demonizing an entire group of people does nothing other than creates a false sense of fear that is not good for anyone other than a politician wanting votes. The idiot and chief is even starting to demonize LEGAL immigrants. Second, there are anywhere from 10 - 12 million illegal immigrants in the US. To deport all of them, would be both a human rights disaster and destroy our economy at the same time. On top of that, the cost of doing so would be enormous. WAY more than the actual cost of having them here. So, let's start with the reality, we are not deporting all illegal immigrants. So, what's the solution? a) Figure out a way that people that are here can become legal. Deport violent criminals and give the people who are here, working hard, raising their families and contributing to our communities and economy, a path to citizenship. b) Fix our immigration system so it's easier to immigrate legally. The system is a disaster. I've been familiar with or helped with two people going through it and it's almost impossible. And...this was even long before Drumpf took office. c) Once that is all discussed and figured out, I'm fine with increasing border security. We do need to know who is coming into our country. That said, I am not under the delusion that we will stop all illegal immigration. Fact, a very large number of people who are illegal, came here legally with a visa and over stayed the visa. Many are even European...I guess the idiot doesn't care about them because they aren't from s#!t hole countries. Fix the system without destroying people's lives. The vast majority of these people are here contributing to the economy, raising their families and paying taxes....many times to a system they won't get much (if any) benefit from in the long run. PS.....and building a friggen physical wall is the dumbest idea thrown out in the last 30 years on the subject.

If you don’t take $5mm you’re an absolute moron.

This is such a turd take, seriously dude

I once saw a documentary where a guy had no cartilage left in his aging knees but he was fitted with some sort of mechanical knee brace that made his leg strong enough that he could immediately kick through a brick pillar. After that, the guy was able to resume his old job as Batman. Maybe it wasn't an actual documentary. Anyway, Tre Bryant needs to get one of those knee braces.

Or .... you know .... you could just continue reading after "go home" and see that it was followed by "at night" and conclude that was an everyday occurrence. Unless you thought he was going to St. Louis every night.

I think he's going with Martinez because he saw how lopsided the latest Husker board poll was.

Not sure if this is the right place for it but figured this was pretty good to share. http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/24440133/the-untold-stories-barry-sanders-record-setting-1988-season

For $5,000,000, I'd stop watching football all together.

He makes the guys trying to tackle him look foolish. And they're gifted athletes in their own right. Simply amazing!

Hey I did that for $0 last season

You'd blow throw that 5mil on hookers and blow in a year anyway, and is temporary. The pain associated with Riley is forever.

Are you talking to yourself?

Congratulations, young man! I'd love to see him get some real game time experience.

I am glad the Blackshirts logo was invented by a guy! lulz

We had a couple open scholarships from previous departures. Here's my current list. Guys in red are new this year (non-freshmen). Guys crossed out are gone but still count against the 85.

Feel bad for the kid. He really could of made a name for himself with this offense and turned some heads from scouts. Hopefully he gets a degree and has a successful life.

Oof. Dominos continue to topple. Edit: Sounds like Cohen and this guy are two reciprocal puzzle pieces.

Rosenstein is super important because he's the one technically overseeing the Mueller investigation since Sessions recused himself. Trump cannot order Sessions to fire Mueller, theoretically. He can order Rosenstein to do so, which presumably would result in another Saturday Night Massacre because I believe he'd refuse the order. Or he could just fire Rosenstein and try to replace him with some lackey who will fire Mueller for him. The way I understand it, Mueller will send his finished report(s) to Congress, not sure about Rosenstein. I doubt it becomes public, though we'll def get leaks. The ball is then is completely in Congress's court. There's no way Rosenstein attempts to take action against Trump himself. Both he and Mueller and Republicans and most likely believe the consensus view that a president cannot be indicted and only removed through impeachment or the 25th amendment.

I’m pretty sure you made that up, but if it were true and that’s why they were a hold out, they failed in their duty as a juror.

No one is forgetting, but this is not an apples to apples comparison. First, Frost being wimpy if that's what you want to call it, is not the same as if he had helped Phillips after what happened, and he was 20 at the time, not 54 like Urban Meyer. 2nd, Osborne did not try to hide what Phillips had done. 3rd, what player are you talking about? If you mean Christian Peter, he was not convicted and I don't think Frost invited him. Jason Peter spoke to the football team. I believe you have the wrong brother. And finally, people can be upset at both, but we're talking about OSU right now - that's in the title of this topic.

So they believe in it, but they'll never do it, openly talk about it, write laws for it, or make any kind of attempt at it, and despite all that this is something we should all be concerned about as if it's an imminent thing. You know I could produce equally solid evidence that Trump is a white supremacist, right?

500 in 1 game or the whole season?

I want to see the best players play, but am rooting for Gebbia. The kid is just special and by all accounts, he’s one of the hardest workers on the team. To have that level of talent and work ethic is a hell of a combo.

I worked for his Presidential campaign back in 2000 and met him briefly. He is a great guy and a true American hero. I didn’t always agree with him, but always respected the hell out of him. I can’t fathom what he went through. Sad to see his time here coming to an end.

Interesting stats from UCF's offensive production comparing 2016 to 2017. 2016: Team averaged 18.8 completions on 34.5 attempts (54.6%) for 209.7 yds (1.1 TD per game) QB Holman yds/attempt: 6.1 QB Milton yds/attempt: 5.9 Milton rushed 100 times on the season for 158 yds (1.58 yds/carry average) Team rushing: 40.5 attempts, 3.5 yd/carry ave., 1.9 TDs per game 2017: Team averaged 22.1 completions on 32.6 attempts (67.7%) for 331.8 yds (2.9 TDs/game) QB Milton yds/attempt: 10.2 QB Vedral yds/attempt 9.5 Milton rushed 106 times on the season for 613 yds (5.8 yds/carry) Team rushing: 38.5 attempts, 5.2 yd/carry ave., 3 TDs per game Pass Plays / Rush Plays 2016 34.5 40.5 2017 32.6 38.5 So efficiency on offense went way up in Year 2, but why? Better reads? Better O-Line? Added speed players around Milton? An extra year of strength/conditioning? More familiarity with the offence? Frost more familiar with the competition's defenses? All of the above?

Completion percentage is the only objective measure of accuracy available. It is not exactly the same thing but it is a very good proxy.

The last thing we need is a ref that's a slow blinker.

Media to Verduzco: "We realize you can't tell us who the starting QB will be, but if it is going to be Gebbia would you please blink ONCE and if it is going to be Adrian Martinez would you please blink THREE times really fast?"

My feeble attempt at clickbait. lol

The question is not "Would Scott Frost order Frings?" It is: "Which of the Frings will be Scott Frost's first bite: Fry or Onion Ring?"

That's why I want to move on from the discussion @BigRedBuster I was wrong and I apologize. It was unnecessary and shouldn't have been posted like Moiraine said. I'll have to remind myself to be more cordial in the future when it comes to a disagreement. So, for that I am sorry.

The part in bold is the part that is hardly ever discussed, but it needs to be. I taught in Grand Island for 12 years and I dealt with a lot of students that had very personal knowledge of the process. I don't think everyone understands just how hard it is to become a legal citizen of the U.S. I'm not trying to defend anyone that is here illegally, but most of them would be here legally if it was an easier process that didn't take forever to go through. You are correct, it has absolutely nothing to do with Trump because it's been this way for over 20 years or more. The government should be taking a look at how they can change that system so that we can get more immigrants to be legal citizens. Most of them want to be here legally.

Team Trump's latest defense: Trump: The Stock Market would crash if they impeached him Rudy: People will riot if Trump is impeached. So lets get this straight - we've gone from no Russian meeting, to Russian meeting on adaptions, then later correct that -discussing the campaign from no collusion, to collusion isn't illegal, from no pay offs to females, to my lawyer did it and it didn't come out of campaign money From "They have nothing on me" To broad brush fear tactics - market to crash, people riot - if justice is served because of what they actually have on me. (Why - would the market crash and people riot? Because Trump is the country's savior in the minds of these people. I say these people are delusional ! https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/giuliani-revolt-trump-impeached_us_5b7fd303e4b0cd327dfbb06a

It is a sad day in the Republican Utopia. This man is an American hero and icon. He will not be forgotten.

The funny thing is, he seems to be saying that instead of investigating him, the DOJ should be investigating "Emails, Comey lies & leaks, Mueller conflicts, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr...... " They could do both (if there was ample evidence of crime), but that doesn't mean they'll stop investigating Trump. Whether those guys committed crimes or not doesn't affect Donnie Moscow or his (alleged) crimes.

I really like Herbstreit. He's probably my favorite person left at ESPN. He's very good at his job, and he rightfully loves the best things about cfb.

Well, Graham is saying it could happen after the midterms, and his stupid statement today makes it clear he's fine with it. I honestly don't know if it would make much of a difference at that point in time though. That would give Mueller several more months on the investigation, so maybe it'll be done by then. And at the end of the investigation it might be that all he can do anyway is give his findings to the House and Senate. If the Democrats win the House they will certainly impeach Trump. But then the Democrats in the Senate would need 16 or more Republicans to join them in convicting. I don't know what more could be done if that fails regardless of who is in charge of the Justice Dept. Now if the Democrats can pull off a miracle and also take the Senate, Trump might not want to fire Sessions, because he may not be able to get anyone "better" confirmed.

Why do you continue to defend the indefensible?

Does Bob Diaco have a son ?

Ummmm.....you do realize that same juror voted guilty on the other counts.....right??? pretty much shoots down your theory.

Jet-R is awesome!

A guilty man speaking like a guilty man...

Mods: can we please have this thread be about cheesy fries?

Hey....if Rocky can use crude facilities and win the heavyweight title, our guys can win the National Championship! We'd have to invest in a snow machine but the players might enjoy pulling a rickety old sled through the snow in the summer time.
