Don't know and don't feel like researching, so I'm going to say "Demonland" refers to his cabal of Satan-worshippers, and the unholy practices he intends to bring to the University of Nebraska.

I'd rather wait for official confirmation. Nobody else has had soft tissue injuries. For all we know, he got his foot stuck when planting for a turn on a route.

I totally sympathize with good cops who hate being branded by the worst actions of bad cops, but I think Chris Rock said it best as to why this isn't likely to go away: “Whenever the cops kill an innocent black man, they give the excuse, ‘Oh it’s just a few bad apples.’ Bad apples? Some jobs can’t have bad apples. Some jobs, everybody gotta be good. Like … pilots. “American Airlines can’t be like, ‘Most of our pilots like to land. We just got a few bad apples that like to crash into mountains. Please bear with us.’”

I thought everyone complained about them under Riley, and we were so much better Duval's first season... Rose colored glasses I guess.

You seem to be very concerned how NU compares to the rest of the country and NU’s chances in the NCAA tournament. I agree that is the long-term goal and getting NU back to that level of baseball. However, this is basically Bolt’s first year. He didn’t have a complete rebuild, but he has the team playing a lot better than previous years. Winning the conference would be a great “first step” for the program under Bolt. Then the next few years, we can look for NU to be competitive in regionals and beyond. Even Van Horn’s NU teams took a few years to get over the hump nationally.

We have actually had a lot of soft tissue injuries since Duval showed up.

That's why me and Chris compared jobs where the skill level and decision making of one person is a matter of life and death for others.

At the end of the day, COVID is going to be a lot like the flu. A deadlier flu that didn't use to exist, but a normal and expected part of our vaccine and seasonal health protocol. It was also preparation for whatever comes next. Among the things COVID has taught me is that our country and our generation has merely been lucky in terms of pandemics, which have been doing this kind of stuff forever.

In the late 80s, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game was my absolute favorite. Then my arcade replaced that one in the early 90s with a huge X-Men game (it had two screens and up to six players) that was even better. I pumped tons of quarters into those games.

You're not really going to defend that s#!t show are you? You, me, and everyone here saw the press conference and we all know he conflated research into how to disinfect surfaces with curing an actual Covid infection. Do you have any research into whether or not doing shots of disinfectant can "clean the body" of Covid?

Thanks for posting that. I had seen it earlier but hadn't gotten it here yet. People can be tired of blaming Riley all they want. The fact is the offensive guys he recruited have almost all been busts. Using the above names, here's how much Riley's WR recruits have contributed by year: 2015 - 0 receptions 2016 - 0 receptions 2017 - 68 rec, 925 yards, 2 TDs 2018 - 87 rec, 956 yards, 8 TDs 2019 - 59 rec, 990 yards, 5 TDs 2020 - 5 rec, 40 yards So Riley got by for two years relying exclusively on Pelini recruits. Then there were three years that all of Riley's recruits combined to be the equivalent of one good receiver. And, for all intents and purposes, that's all there was. It's pretty tough to try to run an offense when you recruit one contributing WR in a three-year period.

"There but for the grace of God, go I."

I am actually trying to think of a job where zero bad apples exist.

Nothing confirmed yet but that’s the rumor on 247

That's Quinton Carter. Quentin Carter played for Kansas Wesleyan. https://www.kwucoyotes.com/roster/17/5/7288.php Incidentally, there's also another Quentin Carter that's an executive for BTN: https://btn.com/about/btn-executive-team/

It would just be nice if some of these guys contributed at Nebraska along the way. Kind of tired of hearing from the coaches what these guys might do in the future. Show us now.

Most departments are working 10 or 12 hour shifts. Are you saying that those hours we don't work are paid or unpaid?

Unhittable.

The Mets

I really don’t care a whole lot about the OT changes. They’re fairly minor and don’t impact a great number of games anyway. The 2 things here that I think will have the greatest impact is coaches on the field and taunting/celebrating. Lots of interpretive leeway there for unequal application. The last thing B1G officials need is more things they can easily screw up.

Ha...come on, it is not really complaining it is just pointing out that it is funny. Even the most leftist person in America would get a giggle out of it.

Maybe because nobody reads SI anymore and hadn't seen it.

This made me picture in my head the guy who has to walk around behind him coiling up his headphones cord. (don't think that's necessary anymore, but for old people, they will remember). Now, just imagine that guy has only so much lead on the cord and the headphones are strapped on the coach. That would be some funny blooper crap right there.

Riley was able to keep him but he is no way a Riley recruit. In my opinion, this is highlighting Riley's lack of ability to go identify wide receiver talent and then get them to commit. I do think one could argue he didn't have a huge need immediately because Bo left him with several solid receivers. I also think many of Riley's guys would have had more starts if we didn't change staff. In fairness to all, this is just one example showing how much Scott has flipped the roster.

You are the one who said if you had been black you would have been killed...?

This is bulls#!t. It's not productive. Again; different cops, different departments, different situations. Rittenhouse ran blocks before he was near a cop, and they probably had no clue what he did. Dispatch probably didn't relay the message to those units before he got to them. What's the story on the other guy? Does he have a history of this? Were the cops told he has mental issues? I don't see anyone else near him but the cop, who seems to feel he can deal with it, but he has a weapon out to defend himself.

It's early but I think I'm ready to dub him the "must get" of the class.

10,000,000 arrests and 50,000,000+ police citizen contacts a year. Have you ever had an interaction with a cop? Did they abuse their power with you? You said you don't have to respect cops. Did you yell epithets at them? Did you refuse to do what they asked? In my interactions with police, they were respectful to me because I was respectful to them. My son is in a related field, and has lots of cop friends. He said they abide by the tenet "ask-(sometimes more than once)tell-make". If the action is completed with "ask" then 99.9% of the time there are no other issues.

So which is it? We don’t have to be respectful because we’re American. (your 2nd sentence). Or, Respect them, yes. (Your 8th sentence). And for clarity, I was not “shifting” blame from the police to the victim. The police have way more than their fair share of the blame and it cannot be shifted or erased. It is there for everyone to see. I’m talking about what any person, maybe a black person especially, can do for themselves to prevent becoming a victim. I’m an older white guy, I could likely get away with not being extremely respectful if I wanted too. I won’t test that theory to the point of resisting arrest though. Unfortunately, and the larger problem here is that black people don’t have that luxury in many situations. Isn’t it best that they realize that and act in their own self interest until society fixes the larger problem?

No, it was an example of someone doing something that put themselves in a situation where a bad cop was able to do something wrong. I said the cop needed disciplined. He was actually fired shortly after due to this and other situations as he should have. But, none of it happens to this guy if he didn't drive drunk.

Nobody has said in this conversation that the police aren't doing something wrong that they need disciplined for....that I can see anyway.

But, he's not wrong. He's said many times that there is inequality and things need to change. But, there are lots of these situations where the person is resisting arrest or trying to escape the police. Were the police justified to shoot the victim? Many times not. But, it's also correct to say that the victim probably would be still alive if he wasn't resisting arrest.

I'm not sure there's an apples/apples comparison to be made with the revolutionary war, and the issues of today. From the books I've read, early American attacks/riots would largely directed at the British and/or British interests. Not the innocent, fellow American.... And that's where I have an issue with the rioting today. Take it to the institution, not the guy down the street trying to make a life for his family.

I'm not sure that it's a good thing for this country that a threat of violence/destruction could potentially sway a jury. Either way, the justice system did the right thing today in Minneapolis.

Agreed, but read the definition of a degree in Minnesota. It fits. It's what you would usually think of as manslaughter.

It’s very easy to say because first off there is never a reason to riot an innocent business. Secondly, protests and riots are two very different things and unfortunately the protesters and news agencies whipped everything up into a frenzy before the court system could do its thing causing the riots.

ZRod literally just quoted one of Archy's posts about looting/rioting and suggested that it might have been necessary "protesting" for the court verdict.

Wasn't aware of that. I guess it fit. Can you really say that. How easily would this have been brushed aside if no one bother to protest?

Just as long as they wrap up but like the attitude as well.
