I really don't follow where other teams post their fan messages, but I did find this

N.

Yeah, I fail to see how that makes this any better. So, to lead a country, you have to kill people. That is some how logical and the moral way to look at how to lead a country? Let's be clear, we are not talking about KJU killing someone who they are at war with. He is talking about KJU killing people within his own country whom he doesn't like, is opposed to him or simply does something that makes KJU look bad. @ZRod You're really stretching it here trying to defend this line of thought.

Yep. This was similar to how Henrich's recruitment was going until the very end. I think Frost will be able to convince him in due time.

Sometimes your team drops a turd against Purdue. It happens to the best of us and I wouldn't over analyze it.

Should our wrestling program be worried?

He said he and Turner Corcoran have a bet on who can be the best peer recruiter. Turner has a 3-0 lead but Gunnerson said he's going to get him.

I still fail to see how the quote was taken out of context. Can you please explain that? You've said it's out of context, but that doesn't explain it. He explicitly said that to lead a country requires you to kill people. Again, he's not talking about in war with an attacking country. He's talking about people within his own country who the leader disagrees with. How is that taken out of context?

Not the victory but the action; Not the goal but the game; In the deed the glory. I love all of those things you mentioned about the B1G. If those things put us at a disadvantage, so be it.

Grilled Bacon Ranch New Potatoes: 15 Small New Potatoes 5 Slices Bacon, Cut Into Thirds ***I Freeze The Bacon First, Then Cut Into Slices, It’s Much Easier That Way/You Can Do This Ahead Of Time 1-(1-oz.)-Pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix 15 Toothpicks Prepare an outdoor grill for low heat; lightly oil the grate. Wrap each potato with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Sprinkle the potatoes with Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix. Place the wrapped potatoes on the grill, turning the potatoes several times to allow the bacon to cook on all sides. The potatoes will be done when the bacon is nice and crispy, about 20-25 minutes. Serve with Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing/BBQ Sauce/Or Your Favorite Dipping Sauce

It's crazy that there is a 5 star WR prospect in-state. I know many media pundits have stated that they believe Watts is the best player in Nebraska, but I don't believe so. Betts does not have a QB worth a lick throwing to him. If he just had a decent to 1AA Qb caliber throwing to him, he would be a top 20 player in the country, highest to come out of the state, and highest Nebraska has ever signed in the modern era. Don't mind me, just making Kool-Aid statements today.

Notre Dame has already used their OV, we haven't. Hopefully that is key.

Like most people on this board, my expectations for Nebraska football are pretty high this year.... sometimes maybe too high, i.e. conference championship and playoff bid. Still, it would seem that the direction of this this team is way up from a year ago. A solid bowl game bid, 10-win season, Big Ten West Division title.... those all seem reasonable. That was until I watched the Purdue game. Nebraska was just really bad in that Purdue game. We had flashes of good but so many dumb mistakes and breakdowns. Can we fix it all in one calendar year? And then you look at how Purdue finished. They went 6-6 and then got beat 63-14 by Auburn in the Music City Bowl. Auburn was ahead 42-7 with 8+ minutes left until half. It felt like Auburn could have scored 100. What I saw against Purdue was a theme of last year. There's good, but then there's, "What the heck are you doing?" Like A-Mart's backwards pass to JD against the Bucks. Why? Just Why? I love the Huskers and I am ready for a breakout season. So I want to believe great things are about to happen. But I also have a bit of pause in my enthusiasm after Purdue. Anybody empathize?

Speaking of the Census issue:

I could live with that.

Interesting question here on partial qualifiers. What was the intent behind allowing them? I believe those arguing that the intent was to allow superior athletes to compete when otherwise they would not be eligible, for the sole intent to win games are accurate. However those students were then able to prove they belonged, have success both on and off the field, and gain am education that likely extremely changed the course of their life significantly for the better. So, does the fact that the 2nd outcome was not the intent behind the policy damper the good that happened as a result?? I think not. This is what is called a win/win situation. You play, we win more, and you get the benefit of all the amazing academic services we provide to ensure your success in the classroom, to ensure that when football is over you can have a degree to help ensure your success in life. This was a positive for all involved.

It's weird but it's reality. Any team no matter how good can be off one day. Especially if that team's players are treated like royalty and think of themselves as better than. We saw that when Michigan lost to App State. I mean we've seen it a million times with even the best teams. Ohio State has gotten depantsed by Iowa and Purdue the last two seasons. Human psyche isn't too predictable or easy to keep stable and consistent.

I read the entire thing and the context has no affect on my feelings on that paragraph and it shouldn’t on yours.

This is how you keep a high prediction rating.

Then goes on to defend them and Trump by literally saying it’s silly and stupid to point out they’re mean, and for the record, referring to torture as “mean” is bad enough by itself to not even need the full quote above. He may have had other intentions or was trying to make things sound better but I think he accidentally said exactly what he feels in the quoted part. His intentions at all turns are to defend Trump, who for the most part is indefensible. Him saying NK is indefensible means nothing. People always talk this way when they’re about to say something stupid. “I have Black friends but,” “North Korea is evil but.” Also, I didn’t comment on the tweeted headline nor was it what caught my attention.

Yes, just ask them https://deadspin.com/texas-a-m-picked-up-two-national-championships-two-con-5941380

A&M is contending for National Titles? News to me.

You are forgetting someone. https://nebraska.forums.rivals.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgflip.com%2F347vyh.gif&hash=853bb092262bc566841f10440602937f

A guy who obsessed about Benghazi is saying the torture of hundreds of thousands of people in concentration camps is really not that big of a deal because people die in every country. Your response here is mind boggling. It’s silly to point out North Korea is mean because people are killed in every country? You have to be f#&%ing kidding me. The internet doesn’t have to “twist” anything to make what he said f#&%ing ludicrous. What the hell is being twisted? We’re discussing the exact thing he said. I suggest you read some first hand accounts of what happens to people in North Korea, and the sheer number of people it happens to, and not think someone has a point when they equate them with pretty much any other country.

Yep. Reagan, Stalin - equal since both got some people killed.

If Democrats ever have control of the federal government again, I think creating laws to prevent gerrymandering should be their #1 goal.

Ive already answered this nonsense talking point before. And thats exactly what it is, nonsense. Throwing kids in cages vs universal healthcare. Tax cuts for rich and corporations vs affordable/debt free college. Unending war vs. $15 minimum wage. Subsidies and deregulation for big oil corporations vs a green new deal. Yes, I say we swing and keep swinging.

I think our lack of success over the last few years (or more) has a big role in some of these kids decisions. Why play for your average Joe when you can play for a team contending for national titles? This all changes with some success.

Lord knows I've tried but you can't seem to see them on your screen or something. Sorry I can't help more and am quite disinterested in trying to keep explaining the same things over and over again about something I care so little about. Here's how this conversation would have gone in a bar. "Yeah idk, I mean I get the approach and it's no big deal, we weren't breaking the rules or anything and plenty of kids got valuable opportunities because of it so I'm glad for that but idk if it was something to necessarily feel good about. I probably wouldn't have done it but can't really knock anyone who did especially with no rules about it." Five minutes later "Then why are you even a fan dude!?!"

Reading the last couple of posts, makes me think it is Dec. after the signing period. There is plenty of time.

What does TO and BD have anything to do with it? Their league rules were different. They didnt break any rules and the B1G is promoting higher emphasis on the student part of student-athlete. Since most college athletes don't go pro what the B1G does is a good thing and whether or not you like how TO used partial qualifiers, the league allowed him to so he took advantage of it to help make his team better. Nothing wrong with either

This is one of my favorite potato dishes to make. DO NOT wash an iron skillet in soap or the food you prepare in it will taste like soap! Just wash in hot water and I wipe it dry using a paper towel. Original Ranch Roasted Potatoes: ***Use An Iron-Cast Skillet Only! **You Can Prepare This Ahead Of Time & Bake When Needed Ingredients: 2 lbs. Small Red Potatoes, Quartered 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil 1 Packet Hidden Valley Seasoning & Salad Dressing Mix Place potatoes in a gallon size Glad Food Storage Bag and add 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil; seal bag; toss to coat. Add Hidden Valley Seasoning & Salad Dressing Mix and toss again until the potatoes are well coated. Put 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil in a cast-iron skillet & PLACE SKILLET IN THE OVEN while the oven is pre-heating. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOU WANT THE SKILLET HOT BEFORE YOU PUT THE POTATOES IN! When the oven has reached 450 degrees, put the potatoes in the skillet and bake for 30-35 minutes or until potatoes are brown and crisp.

I’m glad for this decision. But, I have mixed reaction to the whole thing. We should be able to have a question like this. It actually is an important bit of info. But, I don’t trust this administration to do something ethical with the info. And.....an important bit, I seriously doubt if a significant number of illegal aliens filled these questionnaires out anyway.

Well darn it! Was trying to blow this up and drag it into the beginning of the season. I don't think it will make it. May have to go start an abortion thread in P&R

Here’s what I said to someone ... we are back to beating ourselves rather than being beaten by other teams, as we’ve had the past few years. It’s a swing in the right direction - knowing they’re capable of winning will eventually translate into the ACTUAL winning.

This is 100% true do not hire me I don't have the right approach or instinct for that job whatsoever. You won't get that proof from me because I don't have it because I don't know if it even exists. It's all in my head as just a hunch. I only started this whole thing saying I kind of wish TO didn't do it because of my general disposition to the idea (theoretically). But people kept asking me to expound and now it seems like this is some high horse crusade of mine

This Husker wanted someone not named Mike Riley. Time will tell on Peej, but I’ve always felt Les was a little bit overrated. You may have dodged a bullet.

Things like this is why I don't take the pro-life crowd seriously. If you actually care about life, then you can't support the GOP.

so....homelessness started only 2 years ago...under trumps watch? and wtf is he talking about...listen to it. it is pure B.S. word salad.

Breaking Bad wasn't that good.

Biscuits With Sausage Gravy: I prepped the biscuits a couple of hours before I needed to bake them. The biscuits get larger that way. I also used a dough hook on the mixer to mix the dough after I used the pastry blender. Biscuits: 2 Cups Flour 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder 1 Tablespoon Sugar 1 Teaspoon Salt 1/3 Cup Crisco Shortening 1 Cup Milk Preheat oven to 425 degrees. ***Trust me, the temperature is not too high! Stir together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening using a pastry blender until mixture resembles a coarse meal. Put mixture into mixing bowl with a dough hook in place! Add milk GRADUALLY, and mix for a few minutes or until the dough pulls away from side of bowl. Don’t over mix! The dough will be very sticky! Turn dough out onto a heavily floured cutting board and kneed 5-6 times or just until it holds together! Don’t overdo kneading! I floured my hands before kneading! Roll out dough onto a floured rolling pin to 1-inch thickness. Cut out 2-1/2-inch rounds with a floured biscuit cutter. I don’t have a biscuit cutter so I just used a small glass and rolled the rim of the glass in flour. It works just as well so there is no use for me to buy a biscuit cutter! Brush off excess flour and transfer rounds to an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. I lined the cookie sheet with parchment paper to make sure the buscuits would be easy to get off and that worked great! Bake until edges begin to brown, 13-15 minutes. I baked them for 13 minutes! Store biscuits in an airtight container! Reheat biscuits in 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes! Sausage Gravy: Scallions, Finely Chopped-(White Parts Only!) ***I Eyeball It, Depends How Big The Scallions Are! 1-lb. Pig. Jimmy Dean’s Hot Sausage-(Pork) 4 Tablespoons Butter 4 Tablespoons Flour 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream ***I Didn’t Have Any So I Substituted Milk & Thar Works! Pinch Cayenne Pepper-(Opt.) ***I Like Spice So I Add It! Salt & Pepper, To Taste ***I Used Garlic Salt Preheat a large skillet to medium/high heat. Add the scallion whites and a tiny drop of oil and sauté for about a minute. Add the pork sausage and break up with a wooden spoon, browning all over. While the sausage is browning, melt the butter in a Dutch Oven. This will save mess because the pan is deep enough to hold it all and you can stir it without it going all over the place! Once the butter is melted and the foaming has subsided, add the flour. Whisk until it becomes a nice golden paste, about a minute. Add the heavy cream, milk, cayenne-(if using)-salt and pepper. I used garlic salt! ***i just eyeballed it! ***I didn’t have heavy whipping cream, so I just used milk and that works! Whisk until the gravy is nice and thick and creamy! When the sausage is done, put sausage on a plate and using a paper towel, pat it to get the grease off! Put sausage into the Dutch Oven that has the cream mixture! Serve over biscuits and hash browns! Pics of biscuits after baking and with sausage gravy over them. hash brown and scrambled eggs.

I was a member of a message board back about 15 years ago which was run by a Michigan State student. Lots of people on there met each other and became RL friends. (I’m not one of them). Anyhow, he knew this and wanted to quit having the website and everyone begged him to pass the website on to someone else to run. Instead of doing that he deleted the site but kept the URL (which is still unused today) and people created a new website to try to replace it but it hasn’t been the same since. How is this relevant, you might ask (just kidding, no one’s actually read this far). Well, about the time he became an a$$h@!e, he had become a professor at Texas. Everyone becomes an a$$h@!e as soon as they’re associated with Texas.
