First of all Support for Trump does not equate to conservatism There are plenty of conservatives on this board But through the miracle of intellectual conversation and presentation of facts many of the Huskerboard conservatives realize that Trump is a jackass who does not represent the values of an intelligent conservative Huskerboard is not a microcosm of Nebraska politics This is a place for intelligent Husker fans to have deeper discussions Secondly, Why do you write all of your posts As if you are entering an alt right poetry contest? Good poetry is an art form and takes a certain amount of intellect and creativity Shakespeare you ain't Why not try using actual sentences, paragraphs and punctuation?

What in the hell is wrong with you? Breaking Bad is the best TV show of all time. If you want a show that is exciting and has constant turns go find a soap opera. This boggles my mind that someone would call Breaking Bad boring.

Does your buddy happen to be Jon Bruning?

Everyone who doesn't regurgitate right-wing talking points is a liberal. -OR- This is a community of people who appreciate facts. Facts aren't liberal or conservative, they're just facts. The problem a lot of conservatives have is, the facts of many of these matters don't conform to their world view. So they don't change their world view to fit the facts, they attack the nature of facts. Seems like a really weird way to live your life.

I dont get why anyone who has ever heard Miles talk would taken offense to the comment about still getting paid. Miles jokes all the time. Even in this crappy time he has done a great job of keeping his head up. People who defend Miles have a hard time of understanding that you can like the guy and still question his abilities. I would love to have a beer with Miles. He seems like an awesome guy. I just dont think he is a very good X & O's coach and a good coach can easily take his team out of the game. That being said, I sure hope people arent tweeting crap to him or saying crap to his face about how he sucks. Its ok to be respectful yet critical in your analysis of his ability.

I want to agree with OTHusker about a couple things: • It is hard to get younger white Americans to take jobs in the trades. Not all are poor paying, in fact many pay better than entry level white collar jobs -- minus the massive college debt. An ambitious kid can also learn the trade and start his or her own business. Those people own some of the nicest houses in the neighborhood. And yes, part of the problem has been the "follow your bliss" generation their parents came from. Well intentioned or not, it has raised expectations to an unsustainable level. The rise in kids moving back in with their parents is not anecdotal, nor is the rampant increase in depression and anxiety disorders. This is the first generation that is expected to make less and live shorter lives than their parents. There's currently a shift in thinking that is taking the stigma off trade schools and community colleges for traditionally middle class, university educated parents. That's a good start. • It is kinda interesting how the politics on a Nebraska football fansite leans left. Conservatives who are smart enough to dislike Trump doesn't quite explain it, since every page on the internet that allows comments features plenty of full-throated Trump support and libtard baiting. I'm encouraged by HuskerBoard, not just because I lean left and/or pragmatic, but because it's a pretty good conversation, made better when conservatives bring a thoughtful game. I know you feel outnumbered, OTH, but I hope you don't feel like you're getting chased off.

GASP! How can you say that? I am offended.

You don't think Mo's text was intended to be detrimental to the girl?

Trump country - "Bailouts are bad!!!" Also Trump country - "We'll take your bailout money when it's beneficial to us!!!!" Conservatives are all for smaller government except when it's lining their pockets.

agree, welcome to the off season.

I just want a proven P5 coach... enough of the mid-major experiments.

He's dead so probably not.

Nebraska media: *reports on Miles' "millionaire" remarks without context* Nebraska fans: *become slightly frustrated with those remarks* Tim Miles: "I'm sorry for the comments on the podcast." Nebraska media: *turns up noses* "He didn't have to do that. Anybody who listened to the entire thing knew it was clearly a joke. Fans took the comments out of context."

Denzel Washington is racist against at least one other black person besides himself for saying King Kong ain't got nothing on him

Yeah but don't forget...there were more than a few times when June Cleaver mentioned that Ward was "rather hard on the Beaver last night"...soooo

They obviously have enough resources and coordination to eyetroll all of the posts that point out their incompetence on this board, so they can't be wholly dysfunctional, right?

Cool factoid about The Blacklist: the creator of the show (Bokenkamp) is from Kearney, my older brother was a close childhood friend of his. There are a lot of old references to Kearney buried in the dialogue of the show, but they are hard to catch unless you really know the town (I've caught the names of old elementary school teachers, for example). The same guy spearheaded a renovation of an old theater in downtown Kearney a few years ago that now shows arthouse flicks and classic movies, and they have special screenings with every new Blacklist episode, often with live Q&A afterward with people who actually work on the show.

Good comments Guy. As one of those 'smart enough to dislike Trump' conservatives I'd encourage OTH and 'others' to engage and voice their opinions in a respectful way. Yes, I sometimes engage wt foot in mouth but it is always good to recognize when you have done so and get back into the conversation. Everyone regardless of their leanings left or right is worthy of respect and should be allowed to voice their opinion. I consider them all 'friends' even if I don't agree with them some or even most of the time. I know they still love America like I do but just have a different perspective on how to 'fix' this country we love. Different perspective are good for learning and growing.

Haven't been watching much news this week, but I'm under the impression this story isn't getting much play. It's not as wacky as Jussie Smollet, but a bit more consequential. Gonna guess Fox has avoided it for obvious reasons. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/21/us/coast-guard-christopher-hasson-terrorist-attack.html

He could join Tommy Armstrong with the Grand Island Danger arena team.

This x1000. Dude seems like he's be great to hang out with, and he obviously has coaching acumen; you don't hold multiple D-1 jobs without being able to coach. I think he's just reached his full potential here, and each party going their separate ways would be best.

@teachercd and @RedDenver you are dead to me.

If Barr does do that, Congress could call Mueller in to testify and he could then open up about what was found. There would be ways to get the information public if Barr suppress it.

Well it was a conservative group recruiting conservatives one could assume that the person assaulting the conservative recruiter and calling them the b and c words and didn’t like what was going on was probably on the other side of the spectrum you are at cal Berkeley where violence against free speech and conservatives has been going on for years Let’s be honest here just imagine if someone with a MAGA hat had beat up someone who was recruiting kids for blm or some other liberal group it would have been headline news from coast to coast talk shows would have been all over it politicians would have been using the incident to grab headlines didn’t something like that happen recently? Didn’t that just happen ??? somewhere wasn’t someone that was supposedly wearing a MAGA hat beat up some liberal fella and then it got a bunch of publicity ? Didn’t that supposed attack generate a bunch of front page outrage nationally? instead with this case with the shoe on the other foot, most of us including myself had never heard about it no talk shows or interviews from the big networks no politicians making hay no 24x7 news stories no calls to action instead- crickets

I met a liberal millenial once who worked 70 hours a week laying bricks and hanging drywall. He was a beast, outworking everybody on his crew by 2x. He was always 15 minutes early and left 20 minutes late and he never missed a shift. I heard he was from a naturally strong family though so that might make a difference.

Everyone's going to have to provide a lot fewer facts if we are going to appease the dips#!t who might have a personal anecdote about lazy millennials.

I'm surprised that this discuss continues as there has not been any new information in over a week!

Miles seems like a good guy. I don’t know what the problem is with the team but there’s no reason to demonize people just because things don’t go your way.

The season is already underway with the Husker's sporting a 7-2 record after two weekends. Tristen Edwards and Alyvia Simmons are back and they were the top 2 hitters by average on the team last year. Edwards also led the team in home runs and slugging percentage and was 1st team All-B1G. Of course Kaylan Jablonski is gone, and she was 2nd on the team in home runs and slugging percentage. Additionally, she was by far the best pitcher on the staff. Simmons and Jablonski were 2nd team All-B1G. Edwards has started out well this season and has B1G player of the week and National player of the week recognition already under her belt. Of the newcomers, Wallace and Walljasper appear to be the headliners. Walljasper (pitcher) was named California POY small school division, and Wallace (pitcher/infielder) was named Nebraska Gatorade's POY. Walljasper has started out hot at the plate AND on the mound and has a B1G freshman of the week award already. From a pitching perspective, losing Jablonski was a noticeable hit. She was 21-14 winning about two-thirds of the teams 31 victories. She also had 6 saves. The 2nd best pitcher on the staff was Olivia Ferrel who was 9-8 with an ERA over 4, as a freshman. The big disappointment from the pitching side was the lack of production from Regan Mergele. She was the huge get of the 2017 recruiting cycle coming from Butler County Juco having won a national championship her sophomore year and having compiled a 53-3 record with a 1.15 ERA in her two years there. In her junior year at Nebraska, she was nearly invisible with a 1-1 record and a nearly 5 ERA in 6 starts. I don't know if it was an injury problem or if the stage is "too big," but I expected a better transition after being so dominant at the Juco level. This year, Walljasper and Wallace have already been inserted into the rotation with mixed but mostly positive results. Walljasper is 2-0 with an ERA under 2. Wallace is also 2-0 but got abused in a no decision and currently has an ERA over 5. Ferrel got absolutely lit on an outing against Texas Tech (0 outs, 7 earned runs), but followed that up with a decent outing last weekend against Pitt. The good news is that after taking a loss in relief in the first weekend, Mergele came back with a complete game shutout of NC State with 9 strikeouts and only 3 walks. She (Mergele) currently has an ERA hovering around 1 after 18 innings pitched with 27 strikeouts against only 9 walks. Right now it appears to be pitching by committee with a young staff that includes 2 freshman and a sophomore. It will be interesting on how much of a load Mergele takes if she continues to pitch well. I couldn't find a pre-season poll for the B1G, but initially it appeared that Michigan & Minnesota were the class of the league, followed by Northwestern and Ohio State, with Wisconsin and Nebraska competing for NCAA tournament berths. However, after two weekends, Illinois and Indiana have also inserted themselves as contenders in the conference. Last year, the team started out pretty well in non-conference by beating a few teams ranked in the top 25. Of course they did get drilled by the big dogs (Washington and Oklahoma) but that was to be expected. They started out the B1G season by keeping their heads above water in the first half of conference play (8-5), but then they lost 8 straight before winning the final regular season game. They followed up a 9-13 conference season with a first round loss in the conference tournament. And this resulted in being shut out of the NCAA tournament for the 2nd straight year. Revelle is a HOF coach. She has guided the team to the NCAA's in 20 of 26 years. However, two of the six years her teams haven't made it.....have been the last two. Coach Sippel is the pitching coach and has averaged an All Conference performer per year at that position. She has actually been at Nebraska longer than Coach Revelle. The question might be are they losing their edge as age creeps up on them. Or are the past two years the exception. On most days, this team will score on the plus side of 4 runs. The big unknown is the pitching. It is probably too much too ask Walljasper and Wallace to come in and carry the group. Ferrel needs to continue to improve and lower her ERA down in the low 3s. Mergele needs to "obtain, retain, and sustain" the form that made her an imposing Juco pitcher. Otherwise, it looks like they're missing the NCAAs for a third straight year.

True ,but the fans would kill for Danny Nee's record of getting into the Dance. ….which brings up another topic....is it the coach's fault a team with a 3 seed and 26 wins went out and played like a bunch of dunces against Xavier? I think many times you have to put all the blame on the players. Pennsylvania?....Arkansas?....the players had their chances.

A lot of the HBO series are now on Amazon Prime.... Sopranos and True Blood for sure but I think there’s a lot more.

I'm all for calling out racism and holding people accountable - but is there something else to this story? If this is all there is, this is not remotely worthy of suspending the guy from work for the rest of the season.

the other back up is SDNY

Top of the 1st: Huskers strike out in order Bottom of the 1st: Luennsman gets two strikes and a groundout. 0-0 after 1

Fine by me. I'm kinda tired of getting all hyped up about guys who are only going to be on campus one year and then watch them struggle to gel for 2/3 of the season and end up with an early tourney exit. I think they should do something that if you don't go pro at 18, then you have to wait 2 years or something. Kinda balance it out a little

Thank god there are folks here that watched Abducted in Plain Sight. I was warned that I'd not believe something and then once I got my head around it I wouldn't believe something else - that was a mess. I can't believe she still talks to her parents.

With his love of wrestling, I wonder if he will want to be a 2 sport athlete in college? It isn't easy to do both but it has been done. Has any athlete ever done both successfully?

Ben Cotton joined the ND staff as a GA working with the OL. Congrats!!!

you're right terms like alt right, snowflake, nazi, white supremacist, libtard, socialist, communist, triggered, social justice warriors, keyboard warriors, cucks, hippies, elitists, extremists, bigot, racist, ideologue, misogynist, troll, beta, blue pills, feminazis, globalists, participation trophies, PC, regressive left, safe space losers, and so on are used with reckless and inaccurate abandoned from all sorts of immature people across the entire political spectrum. Already got into it. You don't seem to want to look at the whole picture, though. You're trying to play up this facade of reasonable impartiality, but your strong conservative perspective is shining through very clearly. Which is fine. Nothing wrong with being conservative. But regardless of your affiliation and your leanings nobody will take you seriously if you can't call a spade a spade on your own side of the spectrum. Either provide some data or don't make stupid claims like this. Yeah, some coastal/elite college campuses have gone a bit off the rocker with their non-violent protests and shouting down of conservative voices and non-woke professors/speakers/etc., but that's one relatively small and isolated piece of the puzzle. We can talk about actual violence, if you want. Actual violence on all sides. ANTIFA, neo-nazis, etc. Or we could talk about protests and ideological wars that aren't violent on both sides as well. Or we could talk about both combined together. But stop using slippery and inaccurate language to paint your conservatively rose-colored perspective as reality.

I would argue that you are VERY wrong. Rutgers game is case and point. Roby has majorly stepped up and that only happened because of Copeland going down in my opinion. Roby has taken over the Cope role. Only game I would actually maybe give them is Ohio State. Maybe @ Illinois 5 losses- 3 of which were blow outs.

My coworker suggested Swiss Army Man starring Paul Dano, Daniel Radcliffe, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. I watched about 30 minutes over my lunch break yesterday and I'm laughing a lot but I'm also WTFing every 5 seconds. Weird flick. Anyone see it?

Lol whoops completely missed on that one. I'll see myself out

I read an article (trying to find it now) but it said something to the effect of, if Barr redacts significant parts of the report or doesn't make it public, members of Congress can subpoena Mueller and Mueller could just read the report in its' entirety, thus making it public in an even more explicit manner. Edit: FWIW https://www.palmerreport.com/analysis/no-prevent-mueller-barr-trump-report/15346/ "Various House Democrats have already said that if Robert Mueller’s report isn’t made public, they’ll simply subpoena him to testify, and then they’ll essentially have him read his report into the record. This can all be done in front of live television cameras, with the exception of any classified aspects, so it could end up being even more devastating to Trump if Barr does try to suppress Mueller’s report."

Maybe Thoughts and Prayers will work? That's all that's said when another type of emergency happens.

No. 247 didn't rate him. Because Rivals rated him, it spilled over into their composite rating.

APOLOGY TOUR!
