The guy lost his F*ing child in a meaningless shooting that nobody in power seems to care about fixing. If you can't figure out his intentions....then that speaks volumes about the entire Republican pro gun movement that chooses to demonize anyone who is affected by gun violence and chooses to speak out about it....no matter if it's this guy or kids from florida or anyone else. It's a pretty bad look actually.

Now wait a minute. Are you saying if someone is instructing their opponent in a debate to do their own "Googling", that they are essentially conceding or surrendering their side of the argument?

My theory is they get upset because it's uncomfortable for them that these family members of victims of gun violence remind them that their fervor for permissive gun laws is at least partially responsible for these deaths. If that's not it, it should be, as massacring school children should elicit more of a response then a shrug by the electorate and hollow prayers from politicians publicly while they privately just stick their hands out for more money from the gun lobby. You'd have to be really really dense to not understand exactly why parents of school shooting victims are on capitol hill. They want these policymakers to publicly have to look them in the face to remind them that there are consequences to their votes. That's the capital they have to lobby with, since they don't have the deep pockets and backrooms the NRA does. Which should be a thousand times more awkward, it just isn't in public view, and that is a shame.

I wasn't aware trying to shake someone's hand and engage them in conversation was considered aggression. In some cultures, I suppose?

I think it would be appropriate if Akron got Zip.

Did everyone miss where Frost said he would have likely done the same thing if he were faced with the situation?

By the time they got players actually settled in with blankets and pillows from who knows where, they would have been lucky to get 5 hours of sleep. Not ideal at all for their guys. I would have refused as well in his shoes. I commend our people for trying as it sounds like they made every reasonable effort but it didn't work. Nothing reasonable left of that dead horse to kick- moving on. In the mean time, we have a solid CU team to get ready for.

247 transitioned him to the 2019 class rankings. #1 JUCO RB, 87 rating.

I could have provided a link to a Fox News article saying the same as these things all say (that Trump could win), but the request was for a "news source" and that disqualifies Fox.

Welcome to the real world. You buy a ticket and if that event doesn't happen for reasons out of anyone's control "act of God"...you don't get a refund. On top of that, the AD has already said that if a 12th game is scheduled, they will issue a ticket for that game to anyone who had purchased the ticket through the University. The University is doing everything they need to do and should do. People that are all pissy about how it's being handled need to reevaluate their anger and realize it's simply frustration that the evening weather happened the way it did.

Translation: They're going to get their money

I would have refused this offer 100 times out of 100.

Oh I'm not. It was a totally facetious comment about people at home sitting on their collective asses during the anthem while complaining that the players aren't standing.

I mean. This is just. Just lock this thread and this discussion up. It's only going to get worse

These are fun.

While I think it was inappropriate of him to approach the nominee in that setting (highly political setting - the nominee wouldn't have known his intentions) I as a dad, understand his passion and wanting to make a wrong right in any way legally possible.

Made in reply to this tweet:

I think we forget that no other President in American history has lived so willfully and unfiltered in the public eye. You can throw out everything the press has said about Donald Trump and judge him simply by: 1) His tweets 2) His autobiography 3) His business record (including lawsuits) The dude is a buffoon. And I'm pretty sure when it's all over and done, even the people who knew and liked Donald Trump will admit that the man should never have been President.

Rivals bumped him to a 4 Star today.

(I hope at least El Duderino gets this)

As my dad used o say, "you always have two choices. You can either die mad or get over it. Either way, I don't care!"

I think people who paid for a ticket and didn't get to see the game have every right to be bummed or disappointed. I also think the University has every right to not offer a refund. At the end of the day, they still have to pay the people who worked the game. By rescheduling the game and still accepting those same tickets they are actually going to lose money in that aspect(they wont due to double food/more souvenirs and what not). I think the University is handling it like any business should. Does it suck for people who spent all the money to come out, of course it does. That doesnt mean the university is in the wrong. Its a crappy situation that happened. I honestly think all parties involved handled it the best they could. No one will ever be fully happy.

Listen. You're not changing my mind. Akron did what was best for THEIR team. They aren't required to give a s#!t about a Husker fans feelings. Our coach said he likely would have done as Akron did. That's all I need to hear

Because they were being offered unused dorms. Did these dorms need beds? What conditions were the beds in? linens? Were they clean? If not how soon until all of them were? How soon would they be available? What security measures were in place? Where do they eat? What do they eat? What could the Marriott possibly have had ready that quickly to cater over 100 people in that short of notice? What about space for any training issues? Meeting space? Is that enough issues or do I need to offer more?

First of all....you are looking on social media on people commenting on it. The people who are commenting the most are the people upset....so, I'm not surprised you think the majority are upset about it. That's pretty un-scientific. To the bold.....that statement right there shows me that in no way are you ever going to be happy. There is a pretty good chance they are going to reschedule a game. He said you will get a ticket to that game. You're upset about that too. That leaves discussing this with you pretty much meaningless. Enjoy our outrage and have a good day.

So to sum up... 1) It's not unfair that UNL won't refund tickets for all of the Husker fans that paid for them, because it says "no refunds/exchanges" on the back of the ticket. 2) It's classy to pay a team that had a game scheduled, and didn't play: 1.17 million dollars because it's the right thing to do. 3) It's not prudent, to have a preliminary plan in place (such as food and hotels the next morning and an alternate game time) when it was obvious there was a chance of cancellation (people were talking about it at work in Lincoln), and not to start formulating one until the time the game starts. Orwell would be proud I think the people on this board are honestly loony if they believe that the Huskers owe Akron more money than our own fans. I love the Huskers as much as anyone, but they (the administration) are not immune from criticism. Disclaimer: ****I will take part of this post back, IF we do manage to schedule another game, and give those with cancelled Akron tickets admission free****

I misread the announcement and thought it said "Board Outrage Tonight" and my first thought was... what did GSG do now?

Yes

Neither have been shy about stirring the pot with a mic in their face. Moos especially.

That's how I see it. I can't imagine a scenario where we pay them less than full price and don't get bad publicity out of it. Akron may have had "options" in place to play the game, but none of them were good. I'd love to know what dorm rooms they were offered, which of those have full beds/amenities, and how long it's been since those dorms were used. Were there vermin in the buildings? Where would the players have eaten, and exactly what? The whole thing was dodgy from the moment the first lightning struck, and it's not Akron's fault. Pay them & move on.

Or veterans

Email from the University:

Maybe that's why he doesn't remember that Oklahoma is a "neighboring state" also. I also like the red Toyota logo behind everyone saying they hate red and can't have red around them.

I read some pages last night and they had a few funny jokes that were entertaining. Not a very clever bunch. They mentioned something called “Husker magic” and are certain it’s real. It is odd how much hatred they have toward us. For their sake we need to stomp them again to provide justification for their hatred.

Nice idea what he can do at the D1 level. Adds a power back with great balance and speed.

Before anybody says anything too nasty about Coach McCartney, please note: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/pac12/2016/08/01/family-says-hall-fame-coach-bill-mccartney-diagnosed-alzheimers-dementia/87914492/

We've played them 69 times?? Nice.

I'm not talking about just this incident. Your comment claiming he is an attention whore implies everything he has done since his daughter was slaughtered was for no reason other than to get attention. I believe no such thing and still support his efforts.

Same. I've been to Boulder for multiple games as well as Madison. Never has a bad experience at either place. Both are beautiful cities. I'm sure these stories started from something but by the way everyone talks you'd think you're walking into these towns like John McClain with his sandwich board at the beginning of Die Hard with a Vengeance.

Lol oh my god man.

I still don't understand how Moos and the other AD didn't have a contingency plan when they knew about the weather for a week! It's just an embarrassing lack of foresight.

And neither did the tweet I posted.

National suicide? Just admit you don't like brown people and be done with it.
