Those are only the presents we hung on the tree. You don’t even know what’s in the other boxes yet.

Don't mean to be rude but anecdotal evidence don't fly too well round these parts.

To be fair you're on a Nebraska board - would you expect any less yapping on our own forum? If you want a real laugh at some unrealistic fan opinions, here's an Iowa article claiming Nate Stanley will go down as one of the greatest Big Ten QBs of all time. https://www.blackheartgoldpants.com/2019/8/15/20805804/an-optimists-guide-to-iowa-football-season-kirk-ferentz-nate-stanley-brian-ferentz-hawkeyes

Nebraska's secondary allowed opponents a 57.11% completion percentage last year. While not great thats a top 40 ranking despite a front 7 providing virtually zero pass rush. Minnesota meanwhile, allowed opponents a 64.79% completion percentage. 117th worst in the nation. And before you bring up the Gophers change at DC... Over the final 3 games of the season Nebraska's secondary improved to a sparkling 45.74% cpa which puts them at #4 in the country over that span while Minnesota's cpa barely dipped at all, improving to just 63.64 - still well outside the top 100. Minnesota's secondary isn't even in the same ballpark as Nebraska's.

I think one of the few things the conference got right with the legends/leaders mess was our annual cross league game with Penn st. It checked a lot of boxes, mutual dislike due to past history, the conference newcomers, and history. If that was still going today I bet it would be a red circle on the calendar for both school every year.

They didn’t use them like first rounders, though. Fant, in particular, was underutilized given how massive a mismatch he was.

They are all getting bat crazy wt Trump derangement syndrome Thinking about this, I see 2 reasons this has happened: 1. The GOP as a whole made a big mistake: Instead of seeing the election of Trump as a fluke and primarily because the Dems selected Hillary as their candidate. They saw it as a trend and to get on top of the trend, they all jumped on board to remain politically viable. They failed to look long term - that the voters will reject this kind of hate eventually. 2. The GOP, or at least many in the GOP, were silently like Trump already and now their true 'inner child' is coming out as Trump has given them cover to do so.

Fuggin Frost. I would date him not even gonna lie

I wasn't sure where to put this video, so I thought we could use this as a default topic to put stuff like this. I'm only about 10 minutes in but it's really good so far.

After missing most of the spring and now appears to be dinged up again I'm wondering how he will be able to hold up once the real action starts. Curious if it is the hamstring again. And while the 2 deep receivers had me much more confident in that group than before the beginning of camp with all the injuries I'm starting to get a little nervous.

And they've also done an extraordinarily good job of changing the paradigm of practicing medicine by general practitioners to be reactionary instead of being proactive about one's health. Because if you actually care for the body with whole-body wellness, you don't need as many drugs that just take aim at the symptoms instead of the root cause. Freaking hate that s***.

Hes saying that while youre getting mad at the people taking advantage of the system, which is a very small amount of people getting benefits, maybe you should be getting mad at the real people who are screwing us over. Not saying you vote republican, and this can be used for democrats to a sense also, but this is basically what Im trying to say above. The people f#&%ing you are not the ones taking advantage of the system and that's exactly who these companies want you to blame.

Huskers hire new Director of Graphic Design for Husker Football:

How many tackles can one man break?

People have been saying for almost 3 years that Trump is gonna quit. I think it's more likely he tries to stay in power after losing the election.

I’m still in therapy from watching Minnesota torch us running baby’s first option.

That doesn't matter though because they have a new defensive coordinator remember?

When everyone is riding a wave of Kool-Aid into the fast approaching season, and someone starts a thread about Riley:

Apparently a knee injury. I really feel bad for the kid. He already has burned a RS.

Uh, no. It means we as a country f#&%ed up, and should do something to try to fix the problem that was created.

Here's an interesting thesis written on the subject of: The 2008 Financial Crisis: How Deregulation Led to the Crisis

Ummm....no. The main cause was deregulation of the financial markets and repealing this was a big part of that. LINK Deregulation allowed for the entire sub prime mortgage industry to escalate. Behind the scenes of that, were the trading of derivatives. Was the Glass-Steagall Act the main reason? I would say no. That was more of other issues with both Clinton and Bush pushing for easier access to mortgages so more people could buy homes. This also required some deregulation to push Fannie May and Freddie Mac to allow more and more sub prime mortgages. The trading of those and the associated derivatives exacerbated the issue to the point that it nobody even knew how to unwind it. People who poo poo the repeal of Glass-Steagall are doing a real disservice in an effort to push an agenda that regulations are bad and we should deregulate more and more industries.

I improved my diet in my mid twenties and my season allergies went away. Diet and sleep are two very important things that we a ignore. Poor sleep cause me to have minor depression.

But very different. I am not required to buy auto insurance unless I buy a car....and even then, I’m only required to buy liability.

This is a good one to discuss. While Obamacare didn't do too much to improve the price of health insurance,what it tried to do was gutted by Rebuplicans and Trump. The insurance companies we're supposed to receive subsidies from the government (I believe the money came from new taxes on medical devices or something). The GOP stonewalled these subsidies with lawsuites and Trump finally said he wouldn't pay them. The net result was increased premiums. The subsidies we're designed to help control any rise in premiums due to insurance companies been required by law to pick up low income and extremely sick people who did not previous have coverage. When you gut a crucial part of a bill of course it will begin to fail. The truth is that Obamacare was never given a chance by the GOP, because it likely would have been a minor net positive for the country.

The pure epitome of a Kirk Ferentz offense.

The U.S. healthcare industry doesn't even adhere to the supply and demand model of free market capitalism, but the guys getting extraordinarily rich on the monopoly and extortion model have done a great job of frightening free market capitalists about socialized medicine.

This is a really interesting subject for me. I remember somewhere around the end of 2005 or in 2006 sitting with my father and several other people. Remember, this was when things were really flying high. Economy was booming. We were discussing what worries us about the economy. My father, being much younger and was a very smart man....mentioned the bank deregulations. He thought it was a really bad idea to allow banks to also be involved in insurance and investing. Fast forward a year or so and the entire system crashed. Deregulating this under the Bush and Clinton administrations was a horrible HORRIBLE idea and lead directly to the great recession and banking crisis. Interestingly now....my father is much older and his mind isn't what it used to be...he sits and watches Fox News all day and he somehow thinks deregulation of the banking industry is a great idea and those horrible Socialist Democrats are ruining America by burdening our financial system with so much red tape and regulations.

@Redux Who again takes advantage of the system?

What.....the.....holy.....hell.....????

I get the frustration at people taking advantage of the system. I get frustrated at that too. However, I have grown to believe that this number is much less than Republicans want us to believe. It sure seems to me that we might have something like 50 million people not being able to get healthcare...which causes more health problems...which ends up costing more.... because we're concerned about 1 million people who might be taking advantage fo the system. Meanwhile, other countries are paying a third of what we are for healthcare. Heck, it's very possible that the savings we would see (if we could get our costs down to what other countries are spending) that this would easily be much more than what people taking advantage of the system costs.

But if the protester exercises he could run his battery all the way out that wouldn't be good

It's weird how much more love they get to win the division over say Minnesota. I understand they are a supposed constant in the west but this looks like their toughest season in awhile all things considered.

Did you click the link?

Man I want to run through a wall after watching that!! Dang so many great things to take from this!

It’s a really really really stupid system.

A move straight to flag football would be better than this idea. Your idea is akin to trying to read the players' minds. It's completely subjective.

step away from the bar

No

but....it was him who also said this and this
