  1. Only on HB will you find a thread titled “Glad no staff movement” only to end up with a thread where everybody’s disappointed that there may not be much staff movement.

  3. You would invoke Alan Dershowitz to defend Donald Trump. He defended Epstein and procured his sweetheart deal that allowed him to continue raping children. Epstein pled the 5th when asked under oath if he ever socialized with underage girls with Alan Dershowitz and/or Donald Trump. He has been accused of forcible rape by multiple women though his association with Epstein. Maybe that is why he writes op-eds arguing the age of consent should be 15... Did that Fox News commentary include any citations or legal support? At the Virginia ratifying convention, James Madison and Wilson Nicholas said abuse of the pardon power would be impeachable. In the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton wrote: “The subjects of its jurisdiction are those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated political, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself.” At the Constitutional Convention, James Madison, the lead architect of the Constitution, said it was “indispensable that some provision should be made for defending the Community against the incapacity, negligence or perfidy of the chief Magistrate.” The president, Madison said, “might pervert his administration into a scheme of peculation or oppression. He might betray his trust to foreign powers.” And if the president lost his capacity or acted corruptly, Madison concluded, that “might be fatal to the Republic.” "If you decide that certain acts do not rise to impeachable offenses, you will expand the space for executive conduct.... While there's a high bar for what constitutes grounds for impeachment, an offense does not have to be indictable.... Serious misconduct or a violation of public trust is enough. And the founders emphasized that impeachments were about what happened in the political arena: involving 'political crimes and misdemeanors' and resulting in 'political punishments.' " Whoops, that's Jonathan Turley, the GOP's scholarly expert on the issue. "As I have stressed, it is possible to establish a case for impeachment based on a non-criminal allegation of abuse of power.... As noted below, abandoning such claims would still leave abuse of power as a viable ground for impeachment. It just must be proven.... [T]he strongest claim is for a non-criminal abuse of power if a quid pro quo can be established on the record." (Narrator: it was). If you actually read the Report of the Committee on the Judiciary House of Representatives, the section President Trump Committed “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” by Abusing the Powers of his Office incorporates Trump's bribery scheme. There is even a section lucidly titled President Trump’s Abuse of Power Encompassed Impeachable “Bribery” and Violations of Federal Criminal Law.

  10. Huge missed opportunity not recruiting him out of high school. Really no excuse for that. I understand how bad Frost's quote looks now. There's no getting around that, but context is important. We had two 4 stars who spent all spring learning the offense and Burrow was transferring out of OSU after 3 years and failing to win the job at the end of spring. I'm happy for Burrow, his talent was highlighted with an amazing supporting cast. Something we could not have offered him this year.

  14. If Frost's offense is too finesse and Joe Brady's is somehow power then pigs must be flying. The only way that LSU is more "power" is because they have stronger and better athletes on the field at the OL and RB position.

  15. I think quite a few constitutional scholars disagree with his assessment of high crimes and misdemeanors. Dersh is either ignorant or extremely dishonest. I think a vast majority of constitutional scholars interpret the phase (at the time the Constitution was written), not as refering to the severity of the crime, but the fact that only those in position of power could commit such an offense as to abuse public trust. Apparently it was a fairly common phrase. https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/watergatedoc_3.htm

  21. In my mind this makes a lot more sense than him leaving LSU for NU. Let's see, you just win a NC with arguably one of the better teams in CFB history, have an outstanding WR corps, are one the best recruiters on the team and operate in a state and area of the country that is overflowing the high end talent that are jumping at the chance to play for you. And you want to leave that to go to a school that is currently irrelevant, has 2 less wins in the last 3 years combined than you had just in this year, has had losing record 4 of the last 5 years and exists in a virtual recruiting wasteland for high end talent compared to where you are at. Yep, who wouldn't just at that chance /.

  26. Freshman: 4 games, 4 tackles (2 for loss), 0 sacks Sophomore: 9 games, 15 tackles (3.5 for loss), 2 sacks Junior: 12 games, 41 tackles (7.5 for loss), 3 sacks Senior: 11 games, 44 tackles (11 for loss), 8 sacks (led team) Not sure what more you wanted from him, particularly for a d-lineman that's the path you hope for. Redshirt, get your feet wet as a freshman, contribute as a sophomore, and play a lot as an upperclassman. Especially the last 2 years, if you're legitimately asking where he's been you must not have been watching the games closely. Especially considering they're out of position as 3-4 ends, the Davis twins were both good. I think they could catch on in the NFL as rotational 4-3 DTs, especially Khalil.

  27. LSU had 3 close games. Nebraska had 0. Texas finished 8-5 and they beat them by 7. Auburn finished 9-4 and lost to Minnesota in the bowl game, won 23-20. Close win vs a good 11-2 Bama team. We scored 53.2 ppg and gave up 14.5 ppg. LSU avg 48.4 ppg and gave up 21.9 ppg. People wanna talk about that LSU offense because it is more fancy (and amazing, one of the best I've ever seen) but Nebraska offense was possibly the best ever. Completely dominant. Frazier, Green, Phillips, fullbacks. Best O-line in the nation by a mile. Even if you want to call it a wash our defense was 100% better. 95' Colorado, Kansas, Kansas State finished 10-2. We beat Florida 62-24 in the Natty...guess who won the natty the next season? Florida

  28. Funny, no one saw Clemson becoming what they did at the start of last decade and look at them now. There are so many variables at play to make this whole thread pointless yet here I am saying you're 100% wrong and here's a few reasons why... Weren't we top 10 under Mike Riley in 2016 after a 7-0 start? That, to me, is relevant. Didn't frost just sign one of the best classes in progrum history headlined by surprise signings from the south that are some of the fastest guys at their respective position? Did we not get the top coaching candidate 2 offseasons ago who coveted but the likes of schools like Florida? Say what you want about hometown ties, the fact of the matter is we got a guy who had his pick at every job that offseason This point made me cringe of yours: 10. Program has been cursed since Steve P. and the fans refuse to perform the Ritual Exorcism to cleanse Husker Nation and rid it of the demons of the failed coaches of the past. If anything, its threads like this created by fans like you which is the main reason we can't "cleanse the progrum of demons"... lol, you act like there is some greater force above this program preventing them from achieving success. The fact of the matter is, football is an incredibly deep team game that requires the right coaches, right players, a little luck, and buy in from everyone involved in the progrum to get to the consistent top 10-15 level we want. The fact of the matter is this equation has been out of whack since 1998. Yet fans like you would rather do your best to tear down a good foundations that's being built simply because you are the one living in a pipe dream expecting a double digit win season after living in the gutter and then jump at the opportunity to throw out bogus excuses to make you feel better about yourself after having ridiculous expectations in the first place.

  36. The revisionist history, by people on message boards and in the media, is out of hand. To top it off, I heard Herbie tonight say Burrow was only a two star recruit. He was the #8 dual threat qb in the class and a 4 star recruit. I am happy for him, but some of this is over the top. That is all finished now...Mr Burrow, take time to celebrate because we need you back in southern Ohio ASAP. #WhoDey

  37. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/28479186/lsu-joe-burrow-national-championship-season-places-tigers-greatest-ever my iPhone This is a very entertaining & well written article about the LSU program this year, and where it came from - but I’d like to connect some dots for long-suffering Cornhusker fans. This quote (about LSU) stood out to me: “The number of wins might have wavered, but the pride only rarely did, sustaining itself through the thin of most of the 20th century . . . .” This is what was in danger of evaporating when Moos hired Frost as NU’s head coach. Even enduring losing seasons in his first two years, I believe this same quote applies to the majority of Cornhusker fans today. Secondly, Joe Burrows (and the coaching staff that was willing to change the playbook to accommodate his greatness), flipped the script on the STYLE of LSU in just one year. Yes, they had the horses to do it, but this lesson should not be lost: One player, particularly at QB, can change everything in the locker room. But only if the staff is willing to give the ball to the best player - not necessarily “their guy”. Nebraska needs clear-eyed evaluators of players and the willingness to reward those players that win the competition for every position. Could Smothers become NU’s Joe Burrows? We shall see! Thirdly, Burrows was smart with his running ability. He ran when he had opportunities and he used his legs to avoid pressure (and was not afraid to throw the ball away and live to play another down - or series). A smart QB who thinks pass first but runs when the opportunity presents itself is perhaps more of a nightmare for opposing defenses than one you know is a running threat every time they touch the ball. Forth: LSU did it with “a brand of decidedly 21st-century football replete with a lot of big plays”. Much of LSU’s success is due to the OC’s playbook which came from the New Orleans Saints. Is that not the formula that Frost is working to bring to the B1G? If I didn’t know better, I would say that the whole SEC may need to adjust to stopping the new LSU offense. It just soundly defeated one of the best programs in the country. Keep the faith, Husker fans. Our bus is heading in the right direction, and as long as our Head Coach is willing to do what it takes to attract, evaluate and develop players (and his Assistant Coaches) with a clear eye - it may not be long before the loyalty of Nebraska fans is rewarded with Excellence again.

  42. Fixed it for you. Comments like "can you read" do nothing to advance or help the discussion. Time to tone it down. The truth of the matter is that Burrow was a highly touted QB recruit, but it is wildly unfair to speculate what that would've meant if he had ended up at Nebraska. Maybe he succeeds, maybe he doesn't. Maybe he transfers out after Riley is fired. Maybe Frost recruits him to Nebraska and we win 7 games instead of 5 last year. There are/were far too many variables at play to speculate fairly. Personally, all we can say with absolute certainty is that he has made the right life choices up to this point as far as football is concerned. Absolutely sensational college QB, Heisman winner, and a first round draft pick. I think it's something to admire and be proud of for the kid.

  43. Here is what I think is going to happen. Helfrich brought in as analyst. He doesn't need a high paying job right now, as he's living off his Oregon and Chicago Bears buyouts. He can support Frost as an analyst, while also working with his agent to put his name out there for bigger OC and Head Coaching jobs for the 2021 season. He's basically taking a "year off" from full-time coaching, while staying involved in the game and helping a friend in Frost. Mickey Joseph brought in as WR-coach and new OC to replace Walters. This will be a promotion for Joseph, even though he won't call plays. Frost will like this because Joseph is a stud recruiter in the South, and Joseph may bring some new ideas from having worked with Joe Brady at LSU. Not sure what's going to happen with Beckton or a potential replacement if Beckton is being let go.

I know my my mom, dad and my sister who are in heaven, would be very happy that I did that for everyone to enjoy. I cried many tears as I did it..so many great memories! I came up with an idea on how I can make it better, but, I am not going to try it today. If I can get it to work right, I will add them here so you all can enjoy them too! Yes...they will be in one category.
