Business owners accept bribes and funnel money to themselves. Difference is, I can vote a politician out of office. I can't vote the guy who owns the street outside my house out of office, nor do I have any other option than to use that street. So I'm at the mercy of a monopoly if I don't have publicly-funded streets. It's fun to pretend business would run the world better than properly-elected officials. But it's pure fantasy. No society has ever functioned that way. That's not an accident.

Gotta love this Pollyanna fantasy where businesses will work to the benefit of the people if we just get rid of government. Because entities whose sole purpose is to make a profit SURELY won't screw over the public with monopolistic and/or predatory practices.

Sign me up for all tolled roads, privatized policing, courts and prisons.

He's laying the groundwork for future pardons. Sending a signal that his cronies can count on him to pardon them.

I can just dream of how joyful it would be to have to pay a corporation to have driveway access off of their private road and how much that would cost or how their terms of service contracts would be. Can only imagine all of the barricaded driveways due to missing a monthly payment. Want your kids to be able to access the gated sidewalks to walk or ride their bike to school? There's a daily usage fee for that. You know a corporation would never buy up all of the roads around schools and go crazy with the congestion pricing fees to get to and from schools every morning. I mean they don't do that now with prescription medications or anything.

Dont we already have private prisons? Isnt that why we have the highest number of incarcerations in the world?

The post below was removed from this thread and banished into the Offending Posts Thread. Since this post did not violate P&R terms, certainly not more than posts allowed to remain in this thread and thousands of others still standing on HuskerBoard, I am returning it to its rightful place. Libertarians aren't supposed to be this stupid. In 1965, the ratio between CEO and the average worker was 20:1 In 2018 it was 376:1 In 2007/8, the best and brightest of the executive class crashed the world economy. Trillions of dollars of other people's money vanished overnight. And these fukkers walked away with bonuses. Every time a billionaire convinces a working class American that billionaires are being unfairly victimized, an angel gets its wings ripped off.

Youre operating under the assumption that small business would be able to compete with corporations in this fantasy world. Corporations would stomp out small business in a heartbeat.

This isn't a Preseason ranking but rather just a measure of number of returning production and factoring in the potential of incoming recruits. It's not telling us anything most of us don't know. We have a lot of returning players and we have recruited well. No hype at all imo, just stating the facts.

'We Were Hoodwinked': Inside the Final Hours of Mel Tucker as Colorado's Head Coach ROSS DELLINGER AND PAT FORDEFEB 16, 2020 The night he took the Michigan State job, Mel Tucker was affirming his commitment to Colorado boosters and fans, who are now left frustrated and angry. “I swear to God after the event I said, ‘There is something going on.’ His eyes were not … it was almost like he wasn’t telling the truth. It was bizarre.” An hour later, Tucker struck a deal with Michigan State to be its new coach. LINK“ ======================================================== . .

Fox and disinformation - you do say! Knock me over wt a feather.

It makes sense. Having a kid commit at 18 years old to a school is like demanding they commit to a major at 18, then stick with it NO MATTER WHAT, until they quit or graduate. Some schools aren't a great fit, and you don't figure that out in a couple of visits. Sometimes you have to be on the ground to figure it out. I think this will build better buy-in in the long run. Kids will be more likely to be where they want to be in their Junior & Senior years.

In light of today's pardons/commutations, remember when @Notre Dame Joe and others tried to rationalize bribing Ukraine as "Trump cares about corruption." Looking at this List of people granted executive clemency by Donald Trump and their charges, some common themes seem to hit home with this Administration.

Just a heads up for those of you who might want to watch a reality show shot in Hartington, Nebraska. FYI, Hartington is the hometown of former Husker great Russ Hochstein. The show covers the day-to-day work grind of a married couple who are Veterinarians in Hartington, Nebraska. Personally, I'm not a reality show kinda guy, but my niece is a Veterinary Technician and she informed me of this new series and I've watched all of the episodes (4 of them so far) and it's actually pretty good. The show follows Drs. Ben and Erin Schroeder. Ben is a Nebraska native while Erin is an upstate New York native. They met in Veterinary School @ Kansas State. Erin was a scholarship basketball player @ Syracuse University. You'll get to see lots of rural Nebraska camera shots along with Nebraska clothing gear here and there. Some of you that post here on Huskerboard might even know some of the folks that appear on the show? For you Nebraska expats missing The Good Life this show might appeal to your visual senses. The first episode aired January 25th, 2020 and will be a limited 6 episode series for now with the possibility of more episodes later. You can stream past episodes on-demand via subscription. Otherwise it airs on Saturdays @ 9:00pm central time on National Geographic Wild. If you're a Spectrum cable customer in Nebraska, you can find it on channel 130.

Die hard got it wrong FYI...

Just imagine how much higher those numbers could be if he were to Tweet a picture of himself eating a taco salad!!!

If I'm a recruit, I stay far tf away from Michigan State.

I'm never going to use Huskermax I because I don't like the format at all. I would probably just use Reddit if I have to.

This is true. As much as some of us claim hate on ESPN etc, (and that Gameday against OSU did seem like a setup), but we have been one of the most OVERRATED programs in the past 20 years. We consistently get rated preseason top 25, and have done nothing to earn it. The blame does not fall on the media in our case. It falls on us. Just do SOMETHING for once. Who have we beaten , even in one single game in the past 18 years! An over-rated Michigan State? Is that it....in 18 freakin years?? Nebraska fans desperately want something to cheer for. We want some hope...we honestly haven't been given any by our beloved team. Everyone beats a good team every now and then, even Illinois, yet we haven't. Part of that is due to our overrated prestige...noone overlooks us, like they do an Illinois or a Maryland. Yet we have been not much better than anyone. It would be nice to beat a top 15 team for once.

Say it with me.... #TeamNoHype But maybe......

Also- in case you were wondering why Hoiberg and staff weren’t there tonight:

Better view:

You can look at things objectively, while still being excited about your team. You don't have to be scared of preseason hype, none of it matters except to fan egos. Adjust your own expectations, you can be excited and still move on easily after losses. Learn to handle disappointment, it's a part of life. Last year's schedule turned out a bit more difficult than expected in August, 5 of 7 losses were to top 35 teams in the FPI. This year's may not prove as difficult as it seems, that happens every year. @84HuskerLaw Frost isn't going anywhere, he seat won't be getting hot no matter how this goes in 2020. There shouldn't be overreactions this time as everyone, except maybe for huskerboard zealots, should realize time has to be given. As in 10 years + if Frost wants to be here. If he doesn't get it done, I doubt it happens again as only a rising coach would come after 25 or 30 years since the last title and turn NU into a stepping stone. I would expect the support to dry up if there's another failure, especially with the home grown savior. We all hope it happens, but it may not. Oh well, life goes on.

drain the swamp meant drain as much money as possible from the government into don and his friends pockets

"Donald Trump is the most BI-PARTISAN PRESIDENT EVER!!!"

LOL mkay... back to our regularly scheduled program..

Well thatz cuz Trump beat terrorism...

Probably...but that was also 3 years ago. Shoot, remember right after 9/11...you were basically shot for having some shampoo in your bag.

This is a good read on the subject of Private Roads. Glad Trump got rid of those emissions standards so the auto industry can start making progress again.

You should check out the pharmacist on Netflix then.

Some of ya'll are way over thinking this. And some appear to not have read or understood the first post. I mean how hard is it to pick 1 (one) player from offense then 1 (one) player from defense then repeat that process but not using any player somone else didnt name?

The ncaa limits us to nine assistant coaches. Using a Special Teams Analyst instead of devoting an assistant coaching slot to ST is a way of making the nine assistant coaches we have more efficient.

Those have way more to go with the kicker than you want yo admit. The one against Wisconsin was a direct result of not kicking it in the end zone. And, if you don’t do that, get enough hang time for coverage to get down field. I don’t remember the one against Iowa specifically. But, I’m going to guess it’s the same. I have no clue how good this guy is with special teams. But, I’m pretty sure they will be better next year than last season.

There were several games after Oct 5th where Nebraska not doing the little things killed any shot of a 7-5 season. Several fundamental errors in both Indiana and Purdue games. To me had Nebraska been better in the slightest of details, they likely beat Colorado, Indiana, Purdue and Iowa.

Are we gonna see some winter testing numbers and so on. Its been too many years without.

Good thing we don't pay a 5-7 coach that kinda money.

I was in that instance, speaking in general terms. But my whole point was that Vindman was fired for Vindictive reasons. The testimony he gave, which we have to assume is true, did make his boss look bad. But what was Vindman supposed to do? Lie? Refuse to testify? In the absence of any other incidents of “insubordination “ by Vindman to Trump, firing him for this was what an authoritarian leader would do. And that is most certainly NOT good leadership. Feel free to disagree, but I wouldn’t want to be employed under those conditions.
