Goddamn. This was a disappointing post.

Probably a homer but here goes: QB - A - I think McCaffrey was the perfect guy to bring in this year. He only played QB as a senior (the two QBs ahead of him in HS both went FBS) but he was a good enough athlete to play receiver and other spots until he got his chance at QB. He is a great athlete but will need some development as a QB. Prefect guy to bring in and redshirt a year to get some separation from Martinez. RB - A - We got a JUCO guy who was a freshman All-American at Georgia Tech. We got a highly-rated guy out of New Jersey who can fly. And we got a great talent from a Georgia powerhouse who was a bit under the radar due to injuries. Not sure we could ask for much more. WR - A - Robinson is tailor-made for Frost's offense. And then we got speed. Exactly what Frost wants.

I think you missed the part where America's academic scores have been plummeting out of First World status, especially in tech subjects like science and math, the spiraling cost of secondary education, a huge and growing disparity in wealth and opportunity, projections that millennials will be spending as much as half their income on healthcare, underscored by the fact that this will be the first generation to make less money and die earlier than their parents.

https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/02/09/health/arizona-porn-public-health/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F I would need to do more research on it and see what these states’ claims are, but my immediate thought is that things that would indicate it’s a crisis are probably falling. Most/all violent crime has fallen over the years. It’s just talked about more in the news because we have more national news and stuff like that probably makes the news more profitable. So, what are some things that would be indicative of a public health crisis caused by porn? Here are a couple I thought of and they don’t lend creedence to the idea: I don’t think we even need to look before the 90’s, because that’s the start of when porn became a lot more accessible, but I’m fairly certain we would see the same trend, just like with most other violent crime data I’ve seen. If porn is a crisis, we should be seeing big rises in domestic violence and rape, because it’s so much easier to view porn now than it was before the internet. Feel free to chime in with other negative impacts I’m missing. One I didn’t think of is trafficking but even then it’s hard to link that to porn.

Bro...racist much? Hahahaha

Fact-checking the OP: None of the links in the OP are to Ocasio-Cortez' actual proposal. None of the language quoted in the OP was written by AOC or her co-author, Markey, including the "book report" being derided in this thread. Data For Progress is not affiliated with AOC, and they are not authorized to speak for her. Their work is being falsely proffered as AOC's work in a lot of places - mostly conservative echo chambers, but also by conservatives on forums across the internet. American Action Forum is yet another in a litany of conservative PACs dedicated to the maintenance of the Republican majority in Congress. They donated millions of dollars in 2012 and 2016 to defeating Democrats, and their biggest supporters are Big Pharma and fossil fuel concerns. The DocumentCloud stuff linked in the Democrat Utopia thread, and again here for good measure, is of dubious origin. It was not authored by AOC, and seems to be largely distributed by conservatives across the internet. So that's, what - four talking points building the premise for the discussion that are incorrect at best? Nice. In case anyone wanted to read the actual proposal, here you go. https://ocasio-cortez.house.gov/sites/ocasio-cortez.house.gov/files/Resolution on a Green New Deal.pdf

I did some research earlier today. Findings thus far were minimal, much more research is required.

Tendonitis surgeries have to have gone up

I would love to do more research on this topic...I would do hours and hours of research.

I think you are trying to draw a conclusion that’s not there. Agreeing with an opinion someone has on an issue is in no way an endorsement of everything they have an opinion on. Purchasing items in direct support of a campaign platform is totally different.

So because I agree with his sentiment about one issue, I have to agree with everything he had an opinion of? I thought you covered this in your stance about MAGA hats.

This is like holding up a snowball to prove the Earth isn't getting warmer.

Also, that whole Global Climate Change thing, which some prefer to ignore completely because they'll be dead before the consequences hit. That's pretty much the definition of not thinking of your grandkids.

Bored this morning looked at the all time scoring list at Nebraska. Palmer will likely end up 21st all time in the program, impressive in two years. Watson is currently 13th, likely to end 12th all time.

They do, it is why this is the best country in the world, the most freedom to do what you want, with the most technology, some of the best universities in the world, the best chance to make something of yourself even if you come from nothing. People in America have been thinking about their grandkids for 250 years.

Republicans taking the same road on the environment as they did health care. They don’t have a plan but are willing to destroy anyone that does.

Good peer recruiting

What do you drive? What do you wish you drove instead? Right now I’m in a Toyota RAV4. Wish I had a Corvette. Maybe.

Hello, I found your league while looking for an AFF fantasy league. I hope you don't mind that I joined.

No it has been evident for a while, like in years past. And your second point, look no further than Miles. Nana and Amir gave serviceable minutes in the first half, and where are they this half??? How about Heiman??? Again you don’t need these guys to drop 30 off the bench, but serviceable three-five minute stretches. Another on going problem all year, milk carton players.

I also love the lack of urgency this team has shown. Games with around four minutes left and are still in a manageable deficit, and there is just no care. That falls on a coach as well.

This is vintage Mike Riley offense Also: Keith Williams sighting. Did he Uber or Lyft to the stadium?

Thank god I grew up without cell phones.

Higher paying and more jobs, better infrastructure, clean environment and better quality healthcare? f#&% that bartender! I also didnt see the part where it says give a living wage to people unable to work or unwilling to work like I have seen around the internet.

Hey, if that helps increase repetition, they can believe what they want to believe. "Damn, honey. You've got me right where you want me...."

I wonder if @Sker fer life knows the votes are public?

Hopefully that's the case with a lot of them. I'm sure many are still being exploited. That is what should be the focus, imo. How are the actors affected? But even if the effects are very negative, it's not a public health crisis. It's something that affects a tiny part of the population and should be more heavily regulated or made illegal for that reason. I'm guessing the people saying it's a public health crisis just want porn to be bad because they think it's bad.

This could get ugly. At this point I’d like to seem them just run and gun. Try for 90 points. Just jack 3’s and just run. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

You're right, I was spicing things up with hyperbole. All the games are definitely winnable, although I feel we will need a number of lucky breaks in order to win 10 or more, especially with our penchant for penalties and turnovers. Edit: In summary, 10+ wins is doable, but the fact that the majority of those polled believe we will achieve that is a bit shocking.

10 wins, with that schedule, is far from outrageous. 8-4 is obviously very possible as well. Anything less than 8-4 would be a failed season in my mind, and I think the staff and players would agree.

I love the optimism, but a 10+ win season is outrageous. I agree that all of the games on the schedule are winnable, but with an uninspiring defense and new starters on the offense, we will have several close games. I chose 8-4 with losses to Ohio State, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Purdue. Ohio State) I know we played them close at the shoe, but I believe they were playing below their potential during the middle stretch of the season. We did not get their best. With most of their coaches returning and the distractions eliminated, they will be a dangerous team. Plus they are stocked with more talent than everyone except 2-3 other teams in the country. Minnesota) Sure, we beat them last year, but that second half after the quarterback change was terrifying. They continued to improve after switching D-coordinators and finished the season with wins over Purdue, Wisconsin, and GT. Plus they were an extremely young squad, they will be dangerous in year 0. Purdue) This past loss did not feel that close to me, we were not a threat by the second half. Their offense will continue to improve under Brohm. Wisconsin) Game felt similar to the Purdue contest. When was the last time we beat them?

I think college football is past that model, which is one reason for the redshirt rule change. With so many early entrees now, redshirting can actually cost you a year rather than gaining one. Transfers are so common teams really need that influx of young talent. The kids expect to play early. How many times do we now hear a kid commit and say he’ll spend 3-4 years at that university. They’re also just more ready to play early. Some of these kids are just behemoths and the high school schemes more than ever resemble college systems. With all of the year round training, camps and the like, it’s just a different beast these days.

I'm gonna be happy with 7-5, not surprised if it's an 8-4 season.

The Iowa game will be our 375th sellout. We've won every other 25-game milestone in the streak. It's destiny.

IT’S ALREADY A FANTASY LEAGUE!

Do guys have butts? I don't even have enough there to hold my pants up. It's madness.

I’d buy a well used 45lb plate and frame it for my Cornhusker room at auction to benefit a charity. Would be cool piece of art.

They do wear out. All bumper plates (so rubber, not metal) have a little metal ring in the center hole that the bar slides into. Every time that weight hits the floor the rubber around the metal ring compresses a very small amount. Eventually the material breaks down enough that the ring can become loose and the plate will break. Usually it breaks off with the ring and some rubber still on the bar and makes the plate look like a big donut. But it does take a lot of reps. Buying quality stuff means it takes even more reps. Likely tens of thousands before actual failure. You could just replace as needed but then you run into the problem of uneven wear so they tend to get replaced in groups.

The real challenge is carrying that box in.

they are taking this month off obviously, apparently satisfied with mediocrity

Well we all know Clouse doesn't have a clue in hell what he's talking about anyways, refer to Asante debacle for evidence.

It was definitely different than the S&C under the Pelini administration... in which I played football players in the university intramural flag-football league... Walking on to a field and seeing the other team has Imani Cross at RB was discouraging.

Things get exaggerated. Maybe they wanted to minimize the amount of lifting the players did during game weeks and there were a few rogue players who did more elsewhere.

Other winners would be students who are attending college for the educational experience and not the lacrosse experience...and taxpayers. I think there is a significant amount of confusion about the college experience that taxpayers somehow ‘owe’ to college kids.
