Was back home at my parents’ for my sister’s funeral this weekend in northeast NE. My nieces are bi-racial and one had her black boyfriend with her. The night before they were to bury their mother, a car with some high school aged (17-20 y.o.) drove by a MINIMUM of 6 times screaming the n-word at them. We did get plates and were actually even able to address them the next night because they were brazen enough to do it again. My dad, brother, cousins, myself were fuming! The sad part: my niece’s boyfriend actually acted like it wasn’t that big of deal. Not because he wasn’t mad, he said he’s “just used to it” because he’s lived in predominately white areas most of his life. He is 24 years old, he didn’t grow up in the “old days”… f#&%ed up!

Something tells me your 'little bird' has a screw loose...

TCU? The 41st-most-watched team in the country in 2021? The seventh most watched team in the Big 12 last year? The team that averaged about 700,000 fewer viewers per game than Purdue? That TCU? https://medium.com/run-it-back-with-zach/which-college-football-programs-were-the-most-watched-in-2021-49ef4f315858

I’m from a small town. I think abortion is killing a human but I think it’s worse to force a rape victim to carry her rapist’s child than to kill a human that hasn’t been born. I think the life of the mother is more important. I don’t like any of the extreme pro-life takes on abortion. E.g. giving a pre-teen only 6 weeks to understand what’s happening to her body or to decide how safe it is to tell an adult she’s pregnant when it was an adult that hurt her. I don’t think the government should be very involved in regulating abortion (I.e. making it illegal) other than maybe a few restrictions. Not every sin/“sin” needs to be governed. And there is no way in hell contraception should have regulations. I don’t like the extreme pro-choice takes either, e.g. people saying my body my choice and thinking it’s that simple. The people you are arguing with believe there is another human involved besides the mother. Stop pretending you don’t realize that. So I’m not pro-life politically I’m just pro-life in thinking it’s killing a human.

What you just heard should be all the reason a person needs to know that certain weapons and high capacity mags need to be restricted and heavily regulated if not completely outlawed. Just picture yourself on a nice calm day with your family at a parade and then…….. 2nd Amendment rights mean very little if you or your loved ones can be gunned down that easily.

very good op-Ed by Mitt. He speaks of a nation in denial and the need of real leadership https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/07/mitt-romney-republican-denial-biden-election/661468/

I get that, but would the B1G wanting a slice of the Texas market come as a huge shock to anyone? This after all is about money and adding 900k viewers you previously did not have probably is not a bad thing.

I am seeing ND, Stanford, Oregon and then let Washington join. Oregon and Stanford have remained quiet, correct? Not sure how schedules will play out. Probably protected rivalries or pods. PODS: PAC - USC, UCLA, Stanford, Washington, Oregon West - Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Northwestern East - Penn State, Maryland, Rutgers, Purdue, Notre Dame Midwest - Michigan, Michigan State, OSU, Illinois, Indiana ...or protected Games: Mich: OSU, MSU, Minn ND: USC, Stanford, Purdue NU: Wiscy, Iowa, Wash USC: UCLA, ND, PSU OSU: Mich, Illinois, PSU UCLA: USC, MSU, Washington Wiscy: Minn, NU, Oregon Minn: Wiscy, Mich, Iowa Wash: Oregon, NU, UCLA Oregon: Wash, Stanford, Wisconsin Stanford: ND, NW, Oregon Purdue: Indiana, ND, Rutgers Indiana: Purdue, MSU, Maryland Illinois: NW, OSU, Rutgers NW: Illinois, Stanford, Iowa Maryland: PSU, Rutgers, Indiana PSU: Maryland, OSU, USC Rutgers: Maryland, Illinois, Purdue Iowa: NU, Minnesota, NW MSU: Mich, UCLA, Indiana Divions: Old School: Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, MSU, Minnesota, OSU, NW, Wisconsin, Purdue Newbies: NU, PSU, Maryland, Rutgers, ND, USC, UCLA, Oregon, Washington, Stanford

This is sort of like social media and media in general picking sides in the last election to help move it in a direction they wanted.

Ya I'd like to have Colorado and KSU in the conference also.

He's stiff. Prob be decent but won't lose sleep over him going to OU.

From a strictly personal standpoint it wouldn't bother me a bit if they added CU, KSU, KU & ISU and made them our core games so we could play them every year. I know it makes now sense in this only thing that matters is money world we live in but I grew up with the Big 8 and having those derivable games every year against old foes would be fun.

FU Bridgitte.

Ts & Ps again That should help

You are right. UNC doesn't care two craps about Duke. If anything, they would love to hop to a big conference without that pretentious, private school 8 miles away.

I don't think so. I'd be willing to be they end up getting an invite somewhere in the grand scheme of it because of the Colorado base. There's no other university there that's even an option. I think Colorado is in a better position than Duke is.

But the Starks were the good guys.

I think UNC goes no questions asked if they get the chance.

We need someone better than Biden but Republican voters wouldn't accept what an actual good leader is. They want someone who will own the libz and they won't realize we're losing democracy on the way.

I'd add Colorado

I mean ... there does seem to be a pretty obvious distinction between teams that seem to be pretty likely candidates to be added and a team that had to back-door their way into a P5 conference in the first place and no one is talking about making another move.

I think divisions are out. Probably out everywhere. The three protected games seems to be the rage right now. But I'm not sure they work with that many teams. The idea is to protect the most important rivalries but still get to play everyone else every-other year. I guess you could still do 4-5-5-5 with four protected games then play the other 15 teams every three years. But that's basically a pods system. I actually think the pods you posted look pretty good. But I've been a fan of pods for awhile.

Well this seems healthy and stable. Dude needs a thorazine drip stat

the United States supporting democracy around the world is the greatest american utopia

See, all these stupid laws are why anti-choicers should have no say. You can't say you are pro-life and follow it up with a "but" If you do that, you are not pro life, you are pro choice you just don't want to admit it for some reason. No one is getting abortions for fun, no one is hanging out with the pregnant friends on a Saturday going "Do you want to go to Baby World today, wait, hold on, how about we all go get abortions instead!" If you are pro life and you want any type of "well if this happens to the girl they can get an abortion" then you are pro choice.

My….God….. I didn’t think there could be worse than the Wyoming debate.

Scott Frost probably thought the same thing about the two dozen other WRs he's recruited out of high school to come to Nebraska, none of whom have made an impact, with the highest rated ones transferring. Our recruiting is frankly not good enough. Considering the resources put into this program and NIL money spent, it's been flat out embarrassing what they've accomplished recruiting out of high school last year and so far this season. The level of talent acquisition is a joke.

Are you selling an Aer Lingus airline ticket (as the title sort of indicates) or a ticket to the football game? Maybe try the classifieds section of the board….

It is what a little bird told me. TCU makes sense because of viewers. Kansas makes sense because of bball, ND is deciding between the B1G and SEC.

Remember that this a decision by the university presidents, not the athletic directors. Stanford brings in a TON of grant and research money (something like $2 billion a year), which could end up bringing in more money for the Big Ten Academic Alliance (formerly the CIC) than the any other school brings in athletically (or not - I'm not sure of the value to the other schools in the BTAA), and Stanford is more prestigious academically than any of the B10 schools (despite what Michigan and few other schools might think).

Yes, Arizona State and its 100% acceptance rate is well known as the Harvard of the desert.

Probably because they think he's good and will help the team.

Not the system, he just missed wide open shots.

Lol. Florida is not leaving the SEC. Nobody is leaving the SEC

The Homefield Nebraska collection is live. I just spent way too much money, lol. https://www.homefieldapparel.com/collections/vintage-nebraska-cornhuskers-apparel-store There's some discount codes floating around too.

I hear VJJ may not be safe either. We'll also lose Manning and Martin after this year and depending on how the season goes for Palmer he may not be around long. 5 definitely isn't out of the question. Yeah the last successful recruited WRs were Morgan and Speilman. What makes it different this time is that Mickey's track record is much better than Walter's and Lubick's.

Nearly all the WR talent we recruit out of High School seem to be busts. Why keep taking every mid tier 3* player and hope that this time is different?

I guess I just don't see this one, Mickey...

I realize this thread is really about recruiting. But I'm just thinking about how many excuses will be made for Raiola if the line plays poorly this season.

To continue, it started as sarcasm, but I like where it’s going. if I know my neighbor has a shotgun only to be used between October and January for hunting, I can raise a “red flag” when he is pacing around the yard with it in May. This actually sounds like a great idea!

In regards to the 14th amendment, I agree 100%. Unfortunately we lost that protection a few days ago. At least gun owners get to keep their guns. ps: I think a lot of women would welcome the chance to share why they had “abortions”. My wife would! I also think most gun owners could easily justify what guns they have and what they use them for.

Accident or not, I think it’s a great idea! Could be a great compromise. You can own whatever you wish, but your neighbors also know how big your penis is And SCOTUS just ruled that “reproductive privacy” is a States issue, so..,
