Speaking of weed....

I was indifferent, but now that he's N, he was obviously way underrated, he's going to be an All-American, and he's definitely a first round draft pick.

This is why Trump is 'scarier' than Nixon. While flawed, Nixon had some sense of responsibility to the country and he had some shame. Trump feels only responsibility towards himself, preserving his brand and his legacy and he knows no shame - never had to ask God for forgiveness you might remember. Nixon left out of 'duty to the nation'. He could have stayed and fight for his name but I think he knew it was a losing cause. Yes, it kept him from being impeached but it also kept the country out of a lot of turmoil and after Vietnam, we didn't need any more turmoil. It would have been a very, very difficult time for the country to suffer through an impeachment. . Trump on the other hand, is standing on false courage. He can say he won't leave because he knows the Senate won't convict him of anything while it is under GOP control. Turn the tables and let him face a Dem control House and Senate like Nixon did, and we'd see how courageous he will be. If the Dems turn the Senate and keep the House - Old brave heart may turn into chicken little. Imagine the tweet storms. Besides, how many wives and businesses has Trump left behind

The car in the parking lot is not the same as a dorm room. I was speaking about the search of the vehicle. For a dorm room probable cause is needed for search. If someone called police for the smell of weed or if they smelled it on routine patrol then the smell is probable cause to search the whole dorm room if they answer the door and police can definitely tell the smell is coming from the room. If no one answers the door it makes things more difficult but sometimes if a gap is under the door they can testify that they could still distinguish it was coming from that room. Finding marijuana or paraphernalia in the room or even if the marijuana was gone and there was an ash try and it was all smoked that still would be enough to have “Reasonable Articulable Suspicion” that the marijuana was brought onto campus in the vehicle, and it could then also be searched. However, if there is no probable cause,” and there wasn’t a smell of weed, the only room with consent / permission that can be searched would be the person’s specific bedroom. If there is common areas or living room areas or a shared kitchen space then all people living in the residence have to give consent. If one person says no then police can’t search without PC. If all five consent to search the whole dorm room, all people that reside in the dorm room must be present during the search so they can speak up and tell the police to stop in case they change their minds during the search, as they have a right to stop the search at any time.  I got a bachelor degree in criminal justice from UNO. Got hired on at a big department at age 22. I busted guys and got a lot of drugs off the streets and was good at it as a patrol officer. I believe weed should be legal but concentrated my efforts on meth. My efforts got noticed and I got a promotion to a narcotics detective and got assigned to a drug task force with multiple agencies. The task force was led by an FBI agent and everyone on it goes through federal training and gets a Special Agent certification and title and gets sworn in by the FBI to be able to have federal jurisdiction to help enforce the laws in the multiple areas in the task force and to go to any state the case leads us. I then got recognized for the efforts in the task force and got hired on by FBI and got sent to Quantico for training etc. was there for a few years.

Do these guys hang out with Nebraska players? 11-1?? Somebody got some good dope

A person clearly has a reasonable expectation of privacy in his dorm room, and I have a hard time thinking of how making contact in a dorm room would lead to a search of his vehicle, which I assume would be parked a considerable distance away and unrelated to the initial call. If there was probable cause, they could have gotten a warrant. I'm guessing Wandale consented to two searches (the room and the car) that he didn't need to. Obviously Wandale's biggest mistake was breaking the law and team rules in the first place, let alone in the same freaking dorm where his teammate just got busted and made headlines a few days ago. He should know better and he was being dumb. But then willingly giving up your rights on top of that was a critical error. I'm always on the side of law and order and strongly recommend cooperating with police, but you also need to know your rights. Declining to consent to a search and exercising your rights is not a sign of being uncooperative. However, I also understand that being a young black man in that situation, facing the cops in a new town, probably added another element of uncertainty to the equation. It could have been avoided with better judgment in the first place (avoiding the weed). The young man needs some guidance at many levels. Having said all that, I also think weed should be legal but regulated. There is a lot of potential nuance in this entire conversation.

10.70 100 meters 21.81 200 meters 38.21 300 meter hurdles All those marks would have won Class A in Nebraska this year He's 6-4, 205

I've listened to quite a few presentations on this topic, although they've all been looking at a K-12 school setting. I have no idea if the same applies to post-secondary public schools but it would make sense that it would. The Supreme Court case that set forth the "reasonable suspicion" standard for school investigation - as opposed to "probable cause" in the legal world - is New Jersey vs. T.L.O. There is a quick overview here:

A lot of people still have misguided opinions on marijuana so they'll +1 anyone who wants to punish people harshly if their infraction was related to marijuana.

People who call the police because they smell marijuana should go to jail for being annoying and endangering people who might actually need the police. On a related note, this needs to be legalized already.

Taken from Reddit /r/cfb/ because they have some good content often. So, here are College football's 10 winningest programs over past decade School W L % Alabama 127 13 .907 Ohio State 115 19 .858 Clemson 112 27 .805 Boise State 99 24 .804 Oklahoma 105 28 .789 Stanford 102 32 .761 Wisconsin 102 33 .755 LSU 97 32 .751 Oregon 99 33 .750 Florida State 97 36 .729 And the crazy thing is... Nebraska has beaten 40% of these teams in that decade. 2009: NE 10 - Oklahoma 3 2011: NE 34 - Ohio State 27 2012: NE 30 - Wisconsin 27 2016: NE 35 - Oregon 32 And if you go back 11 years, we've beaten half these teams. Bo beat Dabo Swinney's first-year Clemson team with Joey Ganz at QB in the 2008 Gator Bowl, 26-21. Super crazy to think that, as bad as we've been these past umpteen years, we've cobbled together some wins over the decade's top teams.

Not saying he’s right or wrong (he’s wrong), but if I interpret this correctly, we have playoff level coaching, playoff level talent, and still go 7-5 and maybe even 6-6?

How many wives do you have that you need 4?

I was getting spammed by the DNC and affiliates, and one of the emails asked me to let the DNC know my priorities for the 2020 election. That seemed only fair. I do have priorities and they should compile them from the rank and file. That's how messaging works. But since I suspected that no one would actually read my input, and I would simply be hit up for money, I used an obscure email address to respond to the DNC. That was five weeks ago, and here's what my mailbox looks like since then (another nearly identical page not included)

It's not unexpected or necessarily unfair that the DNC would have candidates they prefer, and then use its institutional power to promote them. But let's not pretend they're cool just letting the voters decide. Conventional wisdom is that Hillary's machine was well ahead of the game for 2008 and the DNC was prepared to get behind her early, but Obama saw a window and started draining key talent: the top party pollsters, consultants, field operators and an initial wave of key donors. They were all Dem insiders and players, taking a calculated risk on Obama at the risk of party unity. Why would they do it? Because they knew the Clintons quite well, and really, really preferred to work in a campaign free from the Hillary and Bill circus. It was seen as a betrayal by Hillary, and many of her supporters were livid, but the Obama camp kept it in the family, appointing party warhorses to his administration, including both Biden and Hillary. For 2016, it's Hillary's time. She's paid her dues and added Secretary of State to her resume. No one is going to tell her no, and the DNC can take advantage of a virtually uncontested primary. Except for two things: there are rumors that Biden might jump in. And speculation is that the same people who elected and served Obama still don't covet working on a Hillary campaign and would likely have bolted to Biden and run an Obama 2.0 campaign. Nobody in the DNC or anywhere else wants to tell Hillary this, and the optics are dangerous. An estimated 25% of Hillary's 2008 primary supporters voted for McCain/Palin in the general, and a Biden/Clinton bloodbath might have risked the entire women voter block. Once that decision was made, they're all in on Hillary. So nobody saw Bernie Sanders coming; an admitted socialist with little name recognition, no national machine, and overt c$%kblocking from the DNC gave Clinton far more of a challenge than anyone expected. The thing that energized voters about Sanders -- independence and systemic change -- are the things that terrified the DNC then and now. It's not conspiracy theory that the DNC, centrist pundits, social media bots, and even CNN and MSNBC have been pushing an anti-Sanders narrative rife with exaggeration and blatant falsehoods. It's just party politics. They have their man, and it's Joe Biden. The voters may still reject Joe for someone else, and the DNC will jump aboard that train, but until then they will attempt to influence the election by punishing some and rewarding others. Hold on....I'm going to show you something......

I feel like I am in the minority of actually liking this move.

Not this weekend, 21st-23rd

Officially visiting this weekend.

I find them entertaining when they reinforce my ideas and I find them manipulative when they attack my ideas.

The DNC does not control the mainstream media. Polls are what they are. Read the crosstabs to understand who was sampled and take them for what they're worth. Do not unskew polls. The DNC has had no such meetings. The ones mentioned in RedDenver's article were donors and party leaders and we don't know those meetings were explicitly devised to discuss how to defeat Bernie. The DNC does not produce commercials. The DNC does not allot PAC donations. I thought they were supposed to support all candidates who want to run equally? What difference should polling make? Talking about convincing non-viable candidates to drop out sounds a lot like Clinton wanting Bernie to drop out in 2016.

Clouse says he thinks he will be on campus in August.

11-1! Now we're talking!

What mechanism exactly could the DNC use to force a candidate on people? In 2008 the establishment did not want a young change candidate In Obama to win the nomination over the more experience Hillary Clinton. In 2016 the RNC DEFINITELY did not want Donald Trump to win their nomination. And yet both of them appealed to voters and won. I agree with a lot of progressive policies. But they won very few of the seats that flipped the House last year. At some point don't progressives have to actually win elections or accept that it's lack of appeal rather than systemic sabotage keeping them down? If Bernie truly is what America needs in response to Trumpism, he should rise to the top of the pack either way.

That's it! You get a four game suspension!!!!!

Right, in general legalization has just made cannabis more mainstream and allowed people to be more educated about what they are getting. On top of that, access to better quality product is just easier now than it was probably 15 years ago. It is kind of what everyone feared when Colorado went legal and I think it is an issue of how we are doing this state by state it creates problems imo but thats a discussion for elsewhere.

That's just insane.

Not reading this entire thread because I can't stand all the awesome awesome takes on the evils of the marijuana, but looks like Robinson had less than an ounce. He'll get a fine and that'll be that.

This is so very, very dangerous.

What a blatantly idiotic argument. And people will support it

This is awesome! This guy done messed up and his donors are not going to be happy at all!

You mean couldn't care less, and stealing a car shows a lot worse character flaws than smoking weed. I would care if one of our players stole a car. That would warrant multiple game suspensions in my opinion. The charges against Washington are also far more serious than smoking weed, and I don't think they're bogus; they're just not as bad as the headlines. If he's found guilty of any of it I assume he'll be suspended for at least a game or 2. What you've stated about NCAA rules in this topic has been wrong and several people have told you this. As far as the law goes, it's always going to be discussed when something like this comes up. And no crap, what people think at the moment about the law has no bearing on what legal punishment someone gets for disobeying it. This is a message board, however, and people are going to discuss it.

uhhh.... if that's the working definition memorial is a rat hole too

At least when I was on campus, Berry Law in Lincoln was notable for being a great firm... that could get you off of just about anything if you needed to. Here's what they say about campus search and seizure: https://jsberrylaw.com/blog/college-students-and-dorm-room-searches/

Still confused as to why everyone is turning this into a legalize weed issue. Last time I checked weed isn’t allowed in the NCAA or NFL. You can debate all you want, but his “possession” means he’s likely violating NCAA rules. Me before team for both him and Washington. I’d sit em both the first 4 games. Cant wait for the eyerolls

Turner Corcoran doing some peer recruiting. Am I the only one that watches that KB hit multiple times every time it shows up?

We will be playing against him it looks like.

Smoking is bad for your lungs. Don't these kids know about edibles?

When half the people on the street exist in the lower half of the intelligence bracket, and you're just randomly picking those people off a sidewalk, you're bound to get a lot of really bad opinions on things. What's the point of that?

I used to be a narcotics agent. I am 30 years old and was one for about five years and left cause I didn’t agree with many of the laws or policies that were being enforced. Many are racially motivated and tactics used concentrate on social class, etc. I am a white male who now works with at risk youth in Omaha, but am very in tuned with the laws. Here is just one link and case law example from a lame website after spending one minute searching. I prefer a legal statute book though. https://mobile.edweek.org/c.jsp?cid=25920011&item=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.edweek.org%2Fv1%2Fblog%2F55%2Findex.html%3Fuuid%3D11973

Thanks for the information. It makes sense that the pot dealers are selling better products then when I was in the market for such items.

Are these police officers not Nebraska fans?! Also, do these youngsters not know about edibles?

It's off to China where Turkey has an 8-1 record and the other three teams (USA, China, and Poland) are 7-2. The US continues to add veterans to the team including Bartsch-Hartley, last years MVP of the VNL, on the outside and Carlini at setter. As a result, Foecke and Poulter did not make the 14 player roster this go around. An interesting change was subbing Washington for Rettke in the middle. I'm a little surprised Lake is still there at libero and they didn't have Robinson as libero / outside, then add another outside (maybe Foecke) to the team. https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Volleyball/Features/2019/June/07/3-US-Women-Making-VNL-Season-Debut-in-China A tough set of matches with China having the home court.

Can they just make a smokers room for the players. Kinda like how airports have now. Then the players can just go in there and hot box it and nobody calls the cops

I found a Washington Post article that states Brian O'Connor's parents still live in Council Bluffs and it was also where he met his wife. That's a lot of prospective relatives that would be happy to see them closer to home. In another article, he gives credit to his dad for his love of baseball and says having all 3 of his kids present at the CWS in Omaha is special (not sure where his kids live or their ages). This is from a June 2014 article: Anyway, my point is, if his father loves baseball and is getting up there in age, being able to see his son's team's games (and his son & family more often) might be a big draw back to Nebraska (along with a better salary/lifestyle).
