FIFY

I wouldn't hate bringing in Thompson from UT. He had a 3 game stretch all against top 15 teams, where he threw for 8 TDs 3 INT and averaged 290 yards. Seems like everyone at UT praises him as a person. It was also his first year starting and sounds like he was dealing with a hand injury. Don't see why anyone would be against bringing in a guy who held his own in big time games, and would be a positive influence in the locker room.

Care to elaborate? Was this in response to the post about slavery? Because it was absolutely about one race oppressing a victim race. There are hundreds of years of laws documenting it.

The fan base was clamoring for someone - ANYONE - other than Adrian. Wouldn't surprise me if Trev hinted to Frost that in addition to staff changes, there were some other changes that needed to be made, as well. A big debate has always been who the real problem is, Frost or Martinez. We're about to find out.

That Barstool guy is brilliant. He is literally all of us but he just went and "did it"

The players haven't been in football shape for over a month now...

I think there's a big shift in that direction. Much less stigma among the white collar and middle class about sending kids to trade schools and community colleges. I also think you have to lay a significant portion of the 2008 credit crisis on people who bought homes they couldn't afford. Mortgage brokers were pushing dangerously attractive ARMS --- like every salesman does -- but consumers needed to exercise personal caution -- like they always do. $200,000 worth of college tuition is going to be a bad bet more often than not if you're borrowing money for it.

Telling students that black people were victims who were oppressed by white people isn't CRT. That's a simple fact of history. Segregation in the south has existed up until recently, heck some older posters on this message board were alive as very young kids/infants in the 1960s when this was occuring. But I understand, being neck deep in the MAGAverse means we craft our own realities. On behalf of everybody who lives in reality, (Climate change is real and caused by people, systemic racism is real and contributes to negative outcomes for minorities, etc.) I want to thank voters like you for making the destruction of this country at least entertaining. It'd be a shame if it were boring, but fortunately we have conservative Republicans steering us into the abyss and at least their insanity is at least funny.

slavery is bad...we just can't talk about who enslaved who. that is worse than slavery.

I thought Vedral only started because of 2AM injuries? I do remember him benching Martinez for Luke though...

Entering the country without breaking the law would be a great start for all involved.

I have no clue who he is. Both of you are groupies.

All of the good ones

I have literally never seen/watched/read anything of his but his pizza reviews... sounds like you consume alot!

Portnoy is an a$$, but I will give him credit for pandering to the masses in is business and that business does well.

When up some tubthumping!

Every once in a while it’s appropriate.

Because I think we should listen to what the President says, as do you (I think), While Commnado (Great movie) does not. so we are trying to figure out why/when to decide to listen.

I think "mess" overstates it a bit - NZ is still outperforming many if not most countries. They are having a "spike" now vs. where they were a few months ago but they've had a TOTAL of ~13,000 cases and only 50 deaths TOTAL.

what if the states hadn't fought the vax mandate and people had complied. we would have herd immunity now thanks to a national government action. but since the states are determined to keep this thing going here we are.

I think you missed the whole point. candidate Joe says the national government should solve this (when he’s not in charge) President Joe says it’s actually a State issue and National government can’t stop it. (Now that he’s in charge).

Do it cowards!!

Telling students that black people were victims who were oppressed by white people isn't CRT. That's a simple fact of history Ya no kidding. I never said it was CRT. What I did say was that teaching a lesson that insinuates slavery didn’t exist or wasn’t as bad as it actually was is bad. Full stop. next point of what I said is teaching CRT is bad. Full stop. I never once equated the two together other than to say both teachings are bad. Why are you trying so so hard to say that I think they are related in other ways? It’s a thing you constantly do and still never makes sense.

I didn’t get that from the tweet but why would he be broken up? Can’t blame him it all for taking the O job. More money, more job security at a program that is in a much better place than NU is right now. Really he should be tickled pink to have that opportunity.

You can wrap alt right conspiracy theories into vax compliance with one factually accurate take: COVID-19 is killing more Republican voters than Democrat voters. I honestly think that's why some party stalwarts have made the adjustments. Alex Jones is clinically mad.

Not really much of a down side to bringing him in. He may or may not be the guy, but outside of Ward, he is my pick if we are going to seriously go after a portal guy

We should because you are correct. We should offer Ducker as an “olive branch”. Although he will not come here, it may be a start to repairing the rift in Omaha

Santa’s magic and immune from Covid just as he was immune from the Plague, small pox, measles, etc.. . Thought everyone already knew this

I feel you but the thing is how did Martinez look as a freshman? Like he had the IT factor. Smothers played well for 3.5 quarters with a gameplan that played to his strengths and protected a freshman starting his first game against one of the best defenses in the country. Smothers looked very promising imo. I think we could win with him at the helm. But to say he has the IT factor and Martinez doesn't based on that performance is a stretch to say the least. He turned it over twice in crunch time, usually Martinez only does it once. Also that last one was pretty aweful. Martinez makes some bad mistakes but I can't him see him throwing one away in that fashion(give him one more chance he'd probably prove me wrong lol) All that said, I like Smothers and I think there are more important targets in the portal. We need to sure up the OL. If we didn't get a transfer QB I wouldn't be too worried honestly. Smothers can do some great things and with Whipple coaching him up I think there is alot more potential there than people are expecting out of him.

It sounds like you take offense to anything. I don't have anything against you. I answered your question. He will be important to us. Does that make him a superstar or special player? Maybe not but there is only a handful of those players anyway. A huge get isn't always a special player. They could just be a good player at a position of need. This isn't the first time you've felt I have a problem with you. I don't. This is a forum where we are here to discuss and at times disagree.

I’ve made my thoughts known on this before. Kids should have the option after sophomore year to either choose a “university” route or a “trades” route. When they graduate after Senior year they either have a certification in a trade or their gen Ed’s are done towards a college degree With the current workforce situation we’re in, it’s insane that free trade school isn’t part of the infrastructure build. Folks are really going to hate the price of home repairs in a few short years, if not already!

https://video.foxnews.com/v/6288732044001#sp=show-clips This is a very good interview and summary of where we are right now and some of things that need to be done better moving forward like increasing the availability of testing, absolutely keeping schools open. Also a snippet in Pfizer's new drug Paxlovid vs. Merck's and on whether a four shot will be needed

I don’t think this dude has any inside info FWIW

run this on fox news without the lincoln project name on it and millions of americans would flock to get the vax

You really should drop the martyr complex. It would go a long way towards more civil discussion. There was absolutely nothing wrong with what @Nebfanatic asked you, stated or the way he asked. Seriously, trying to help. But I’m sure you’ll take it as being for some nefarious purpose.

I mean ... Iowa had the B1G Defensive Back of the Year, two DBs on the All-B1G first-team and a third that was on the second team. I don't know if he's going to face many more "elite" DBs than he did that game.

"Look... you can't just slow clap whenever you feel like it"

jesus.....you have certainly twisted things around in your atempt to be able to accuse me of listening to liars. a long ways from our shared thinking that the vax mandate was needed. oh well...it all makes sense to you or you are having fun trolling. either way who cares. let's get this thread back on track

you say there should be a vax mandate...but people should not listen to the president. how are you defining vax mandate?

That would be Gage Lemmers, the son of my old Omaha buddy.

Probably at least as fair as saying this same freshman has the IT factor that a team can rally behind based on 1 mediocre start that ended in a loss.

Why don’t we cancel/pay off everyone’s mortgage? What about car loans?

I like how a lot of posters thinks we need QBs to be 6’ 4+ 225 to be successful in this offense. Smothers is more then adequate to run this offense and honestly could thrive doing it.

You’re a better sport than I would be. But I’ve learned a lot about what seems most fair in fantasy hockey scoring for the future. I’m really enjoying this league so far.

And your choice is to support a party that openly talked about subverting an election. Are you going to change your support in light of this? Of course not. You'd rather we all just... move on. You guys are doing to destroy liberal democracy in this country anyway, maybe we should push forward on more pressing issues. Such as: *Jewish people and their hatred of Israel. *Banning CRT in states that don't teach it *If 70 degree days in December is normal.

His family (or his handlers) need to stop allowing him free range interviews. And someone needs to tell him the cheesy self promoting hat with a suit is just a ridiculously looking get up.
