you can hear all of the same stuff on TV daily, Warren's statement came off an infomercial, useless.

Exactly bill moos said on the radio that us playing in the spring vs everyone else playing in the fall makes us look like a jv program. i love that guy.

This just proves that the people in power only run with other people in power and have no real finger on the pulse of “everyday” people. To not think the decision wouldn’t be highly scrutinized??? what in the actual f#&%??? and shutting down entire economies is just “inconvenient” I suppose, done by people who have never run a business or produced one damn thing in their lives. He should be summarily fired for making that comment.

the cancel culture is worse than the infection!

Wisconsin’s staff walked into a program that has had a good culture building for a long time. Iowa’s staff took years to build that culture. I’m not concerned about the long term culture with this staff.

I guess I forgot the part where we had an identical scheme, culture, and coaching staff to Iowa & Wisconsin. Top 40 classes will not work.

hunter49: "the cancel culture is worse than the infection!" There's something worse than that. Would your favorite football team ever had over its playbook to the entire world? That's what has happened here with Covid. Now every person on the Earth who wants to mess with the world knows how to do it ay time they want to. Just create a new virus and let it loose and then let everybody fall over in panic over it and have bureaucrats rushing to shut things down. Throw out the rest of the playbook. Everybody's already got the winning play.

Not sure I'd be talking about emulating Iowa culture right about now.....YIKES!!

"With modern roads, bridges, highways, broadband, ports and airports as a new foundation for economic growth. With pipes that transport clean water to every community. With 5 million new manufacturing and technology jobs so the future is made in America." "With a health care system that lowers premiums, deductibles, and drug prices by building on the Affordable Care Act he's trying to rip away." "With an education system that trains our people for the best jobs of the 21st century, where cost doesn't prevent young people from going to college, and student debt doesn't crush them when they get out." "With child care and elder care that make it possible for parents to go to work and for the elderly to stay in their homes with dignity." "With an immigration system that powers our economy and reflects our values. With newly empowered labor unions. With equal pay for women. With rising wages you can raise a family on. Yes, we're going to do more than praise our essential workers. We're finally going to pay them." "We can, and we will, deal with climate change. It's not only a crisis, it's an enormous opportunity. An opportunity for America to lead the world in clean energy and create millions of new good-paying jobs in the process." "And we can pay for these investments by ending loopholes and the president's $1.3 trillion tax giveaway to the wealthiest 1 percent and the biggest, most profitable corporations, some of which pay no tax at all." "Because we don't need a tax code that rewards wealth more than it rewards work. I'm not looking to punish anyone. Far from it. But it's long past time the wealthiest people and the biggest corporations in this country paid their fair share." "For our seniors, Social Security is a sacred obligation, a sacred promise made. The current president is threatening to break that promise. He's proposing to eliminate the tax that pays for almost half of Social Security without any way of making up for that lost revenue." "I will not let it happen. If I'm your president, we're going to protect Social Security and Medicare. You have my word."

Money is what keeps the doors open and the lights on.

This is government at its best! Best of intentions, publicly expressed, but never thought out and tested before mass implementation with undesired results. Typically very expensive, inefficient, ineffective and usually perpetual in duration. Normally two new problems created for each perceived problem addressed. The longer the government involvement lasts, the more permanent the indirect and ‘always unexpected’ consequences become. The marketplace by its nature responds with rational reactions in the direction of minimizing the economic fallout but often government in response thereto imposes more restrictions. It becomes a never-ending cycle as government spreads like a noxious weed in the yard.

and indoctrinating an entire generation of kids of how to fall in line, obey the orders, ‘we can protect you’, do what we say. I have an 8th and a 10th grader. They are in school 2 days a week. Some of the measures they are taking are just plain stupid. For instance: you have to walk on arrows down either side of the hall. If you are walking on the right and your class is halfway down on the left side, they make the kids walk to the END OF THE HALLWAY AND DO A U-TURN instead Of cutting across to your class. My daughter said both ends of the hallway are bottlenecks and all the kids are crammed in there anyway, making sure-turns! I mean it’s be funny if it weren’t so stupid and bureaucratic

You have to imagine that Warren and all these unnamed experts are on their knees praying that the playing teams get hit huge with virus problems.

now i know what far right lie you were repeating. and all i can do is laugh some more at you believing that BS.

It was a fascinating contest between the least-liked candidates each party could have nominated.

The only meaningful parallel is the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic, and the response looked a lot like it does today: some cancellations, some attempts to play, lots of confusion trying to adjust to a moving target: https://saturdayblitz.com/2020/03/22/college-football-navigated-1918-spanish-flu-pandemic/

They may have a better culture for now but I'll take our coaching staff and scheme long term. Plus the fact that this class will still probably be sandwiches with higher classes.

Trump out today pushing a lie that is effortlessly disproven - that Dems didn't use "God" in their Pledge of Allegience during their convention - trying to maintain his tenuous mantle as the religious candidate. The entire premise that Trump is some kind of godly president elected by divine intervention has always been absurd and weird to me. Once you get past the naked transactionalism of judge and lip service, the man's entire life has been and continues to be one of apostasy and hedonism. I hope Biden hits him on it in the debates. A devout practicing Catholic doesn't need lectured on being a heathen by a man just recently ordered to pay the court fees of the pornstar he cheated on his wife with and paid off to hush up.

Whats next for Nebraska you ask?....Watch Alabama win another National Title via the playoff. A lot of people have yet to figure out that by delaying our season to the spring we (B1G) have just taken ourselves out of the playoff picture without even playing a single game. Should we be upset?...No. But the teams that had a shot at a title should be (OSU...maybe Penn St. or Michigan). PAC 12 will be lucky to win a single National Title in the next 20 years so they really had nothing to lose. So after watching Alabama lift the National Title trophy in January, we will be left with a sinking feeling of a meaningless season. Maybe a great advantage for Nebraska? Time to knock some monkeys off our back?....Wisconsin, Iowa, OSU??

I’m angry too but he won’t be let go. The university presidents are appreciating having warren take the heat for the decision. They also hired him, going to look bad that they hired the wrong guy. And as the first black power 5 commissioner, they don’t want any additional scrutiny of firing someone like that

FIFY Seriously, best case it is an absolute waste and worst case it is fertile ground for dangerous information and ridiculous conspiracy theories. Every single person who regularly uses FB has some human deficiency. (And yes, I said “every person” and qualified it with “regularly”) The two most common types are attention whores and people with unhealthy political concerns. Normal, stable people aren’t anywhere to found on FB, in my experience.

We sold our soul for $$$. Everything other than $$$ is window dressing.

So the choice has been distilled to a good, generally honest man calling on a return to decency and telling you he'll leverage decades of experience and negotiate consensus among lots of diverse allies to overcome the pandemic, return us to our normal lives and try to make life better for average people... And a corrupt scumbag who lies like the rest of us breathe, clearly can't be bothered to have any serious plan for the pandemic, wants to implement more tax cuts without understanding the ramifications, clearly doesn't care about anyone but himself and those kissing his butt or giving him money and wants to continue to abuse his power for personal gain. And if it breaks the government, so be it. Worth it in the end. Hard choice.

So, the Big Ten is saying that they can start playing in January with each team traveling each week, in the middle of flu season, inside indoor stadiums because of the SaliviaDirect test that was approved 7 days ago. The University of Illinois is already utilizing a similar saliva test. The SalivaDirect test is expected to be widely available to the public in 4-8 weeks. Considering each university has a medical center associated with it then it's conceivable they could start testing earlier, (Illinois already is). So, you could feasibly start testing athletes with the same test they expect to make a winter season feasible (without all the other issues a winter season presents including teams playing at home stadiums) by Sept. 26th. The same weekend the SEC plans to kickoff their season. Big Ten logic right there.

That just isn't correct. It's closer to 15-17 million more yearly than 7 over the Big XII, and the Big Ten renegotiates right after the others do to push it more. The gap is going to remain for a while. Push that over a decade (150-170 million) and that's your new facility. Still think that's not a big deal? https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-football/report-sec-comes-in-2nd-to-big-ten-in-2019-revenue/

Seeing it laid out like this helps illustrate the debate about third party voting a bit better. In '92, Ross Perot got nearly 20% but was neither like Bernie nor young and attractive. Basically for a third party candidate to be competitive, the country has got to be in the crapper with a very unpopular incumbent running or term limited, wet fart challenger(s) lacking broad appeal and somebody as charismatic as Obama or Bernie, probably white to minimize racism, and probably some alternative platform that doesn't fit neatly into the left-right spectrum to maximize appeal, so no Libertarians or Greens. Basically it would have to be the perfect storm and the odds are pretty dang close to zero.

He will be an OLB for us.

As a species, we are adapting.

Policy =/= Platitudes. Biden may just as well stated his plan for puppies and apple pie.

I think that he's a better high school football player than Dickerson, but that's because his skill set is better suited for the high school game. Dickerson's much more athletic, better as in coverage, and has better ball skills as a defender. Bretz's ability and willingness to stop the run is very impressive and has more of an effect on the outcome of games in Nebraska. His highlight at 23 seconds is as great of a play as you will ever see from a defensive back.

Isn’t this the kid that those who watch Omaha football say is better than Dickerson? I like it

"there is simply too much we don't know about the virus" we will hear the same s#!t this spring and next fall. sigh

It's very much like the John Kerry NOT-BUSH campaign. And a lot like the Hillary Clinton NOT TRUMP campaign. And yeah, anyone with the standard cliche playbook could have written those speeches in a couple hours, without doing a lick of homework. Venture a guess what the Republicans will hammer to death, conveniently ignore, and provide no coherent policy for next week? That's a no-brainer, too. Having reviewed Kanye West's platform, I don't think he's a legitimate alternative. All that aside, it's still a really clear choice.

A lot of that isn’t policy. It’s just things he’s promising. But I feel like policy is more what debates are for. And as someone else pointed out it’s on his website.

Wisky and Iowa have done just fine with top 40ish classes.

him and the university administrators. I cannot believe that they would be so callous about the implact this decision would have at this level. Evern the Sunbelt is playing. The Sunbelt.

I know someone who's going through the same thing. She moved five hours away to take a teaching job and then Covid hit and so now she's had to stay at home basically also as her school then announced they were beginning the year with remote learning so it's been tough. Hope you keep on hanging in there. edit: she moved 5 hours away and not two. I blame the devils lettuce!

That screams not being able to read the room and not ready for the job.

liberal? more like what you and the fellow trumpers call a RINO

Watching the schools claim ignorance and watch warren take all the heat has been a prime example of this

I still prefer the B1G over the hot mess of what the Big 12 was/is. The one problem with the B1G has always been they are about image over winning. However, if Delaney was still around I wonder how this would have turned out.

The move to the Big Ten was about a lot more than getting screwed by Texas in the Big XII title game.

Although there's currently no available alternative, it is depressingly comical to see football become 100% about the things players don't like (S&C and practice) and 0% about what they do like (gameday, the atmosphere, the game itself, etc.) I don't envy any of these coaches right now. Such a crappy position to be in overall.

So, but for 2 seconds put back on the clock in 2009, you would be playing football in a few weeks.

I don't even really want to vote for Joe Biden (Not my 1st choice) and yet I am excited and can't wait to vote for Joe Biden.

Oliver Martin to N

NU can do everything perfectly to protect the health of its BB players and it will make NO DIFFERENCE The BIG officials (Kevin W & others) will listen to some medical expert and decide our fate. Every person in Nebr could wear masks, wash their hands 8 times a day and keep social distancing and if Maryland, Rutgers or Penn St have problems, we are shut down. All of life is a risk, but our BIG leaders don't want to take ANY risk with this virus. My opinion.
