Finally, this thread is about something more than sh!t music…

This guy only likes to Rock and roll at night and part of every other day.

Not the part where his seasons largely measured up to Osborne standards, something the revisionist posts were trying to revise. Hence the words "further undermine." Frank coached some great Nebraska teams. I did bring up Frank's off-field issues because some people forget it wasn't entirely a football decision, though had he won that Natty he might have been given a longer leash.

This is awesome.

Some comments on this game from mgo I thought were funny. https://mgoblog.com/content/opponent-watch-2023-week-3#read-more "Despite this column’s insistence last week that Matt Rhule didn’t have any other options, the Jeff Sims Voyage Of The Damned has been placed on hold for the moment, as he has been replaced by ⁠— and I say this with the appropriate level of respect ⁠— the most Nebraska-a$$ quarterback since Eric Crouch. Heinrich Haarberg is 6’5”, just-thicker-than-a-beanpole skinny, runs very fast in a straight line, and can generally throw a football accurately in a right direction. Most importantly, he had 45 pass attempts and carries combined, and he only turned the ball over once (and even that wasn’t really his fault; he got strip-sacked by a free rusher)." "Michigan should worry about: I… I think I like Nebraska’s front seven? They might be legitimately good? Nebraska has 14 sacks on the season, and even excluding sacks they’re only allowing 3.7 yards per carry on the ground. Their fronts are tricky, their pressures are creative, and they have a 330 pound defensive tackle wearing #0. What’s not to like?" "When they play Michigan: Turner Corcoran might be the worst pass blocker starting for any Power 5 team. If Nebraska gets into passing downs, Corcoran versus Derrick Moore might get someone killed."

Yet you just did.

I think the starter should prove able to safely receive the ball from the center and hand it off without it falling into the opponents hands.

At 150% do we get 50% more turnovers with it?

I have been pointing out issues in the cities with crime. Most large city leaders are Blue. The Dallas mayor just flipped to Republican. https://www.wsj.com/articles/americas-cities-need-republicans-and-im-becoming-one-dallas-texas-mayor-965dbaa4?st=tg9afv4xo4ici96 "But I don’t believe I can stay on the sidelines any longer. I have always tried to be honest and say what I think is right for my city. The future of America’s great urban centers depends on the willingness of the nation’s mayors to champion law and order and practice fiscal conservatism. Our cities desperately need the genuine commitment to these principles (as opposed to the inconsistent, poll-driven commitment of many Democrats) that has long been a defining characteristic of the GOP. In other words, American cities need Republicans—and Republicans need American cities. When my political hero Theodore Roosevelt was born, only 20% of Americans lived in urban areas. By the time he was elected president, that share had doubled to 40%. Today, it stands at 80%. As America’s cities go, so goes America. Unfortunately, many of our cities are in disarray. Mayors and other local elected officials have failed to make public safety a priority or to exercise fiscal restraint. Most of these local leaders are proud Democrats who view cities as laboratories for liberalism rather than as havens for opportunity and free enterprise."

Those are just made up numbers per some On3 algorithm. Don't really have any basis in reality as to what these guys are getting paid.

I didn't know the it was Oregon -21. Now it's personal!

Agree with everything you said. But I do feel the linchpin was that 2001 game in Boulder. (At least that was the issue for me). Nothing even approaching that sort of on field embarrassment had happened to any Nebraska team dating back to the Devaney years and probably prior to that. Only 7 wins…..well, okay but don’t make a habit of it. Losing in a natty game we shouldn’t have even been in. Meh, okay. But that debacle in Boulder just couldn’t happen ever again….until Bo made a habit of getting our doors blown off once or twice per year.

Probably would be ashamed of the current standard of reporting and state of what was and still is considered main stream press.

Wow. Listen to the reporter squirm. A food reporter no less tried to get his advertisers to backout of a fund raising event. For those who don't know, Portnoy raised a lot of money for small pizza businesses during the pandemic.

Run Liz Run!

Sims may LOOK better out there to some but to me it’s an all show and no go situation. I don’t care if he has flashes of -insert any great qb here- but if it’s only a flash in the pan and doesn’t lead to points, let alone wins, it doesn’t matter. He’s done that his entire college career. Shows flashes but never seems to put it together. Not gonna happen here with this Oline. Cut your losses on the mercenary qb and focus on the local kid that shows he can be reliable until he shows otherwise.

Because MAGA has often times said "He may look guilty but he deserves his day in court just like anyone else" before chanting "lock her up" or on the flip side "witch hunt", "weaponization of the Biden DOJ", "election interference!!!", "banana republic!!!"

I would guess he would have critical things to say about everyone. FOX, MSNBC, CNN, The Times, The Wash Post, The WS Journal, The NY Post you name it.

If this is serious...it is so funny. And if you are joking...it is so funny! This is like something you would see in Spinal Tap

Reading the comments makes me think we are never going to get out of the muck and mire that is NU Football. Osborne anointed a man who's record at Nebraska was 58-19. Frank was left championship level talent, but so was Osborne, and both of them had trouble getting a steady hand on the wheel (albeit it is true that Frank had a harder time of it). When Frank was let go our AD hired Bill Callahan who went 27-22. Tom Osborne came back as AD and hired Bo Pelini who went 67-27. After Bo was fired, our AD hired Mike Riley who went 19-19, then a new AD hired Scott Frost who went 16-31. Osborne selections: 125 - 46, all other ADs: 62 - 72. The problem was not Osborne or Solich, it was that despite us having 2 golden opportunities in both Frank and Bo to slowly build a championship level program (Like Osborne's long journey to his first National Championship), we decided to instead gulp down the excuses for firing proven winners given to us by incompetent ADs, and sports writers. Winners win, losers don't. You can say all you want about the rumors and attitude and off the field stuff from Solich and Pelini, but at the end of the day they won games, and had relatively clean programs. Everything else that gets peddled out there like a "curse", or "we had to fire Bo", is just people trying to excuse what they probably knew then, and certainly know now, were poor decisions. Now in the Year of Our Lord 2023, we are hiring a career .500 coach who has beaten one ranked team at the college level, and expecting to restore the glory. My glass of kool-aid is running low.

tRump cult is alive and well. MAGA too. I voted Trump in 2016 presidential race .... bad mistake. In 2020, ANY candidates including Alfred E. Neuman against Donald. I voted Biden though somewhat reluctantly, but he was far less lying. Myself, classified independent party (or non-partisan) ...... "Republicrat"

Democrat here and I have no problem saying lock him up. See how that works? Hmm...

To your point, the 99 team was perhaps the best Nebraska team to not win the NC. More balanced than the 83 scoring explosion and edging out the 82 team (denied the NC by the 1 yard out of bounds). Outside of the fumble going across the goal line at Texas, we would have been in the NC game and would have been favored. In the end, we stuck it to a highly ranked Tenn team in the bowl game, again, and finished 3rd in the polls.

I love how pumped everyone gets about the one-armed drummer. It's cool he's a one-armed drummer and all, but he's not that good at it. Like, most decent drummers can play with one hand better than that. And they don't get near the practice.

I know I'm joining this discussion very late, but I've never liked kiss (I don't even have enough respect for them to use capital letters). If it weren't for the pyro & makeup no one would know them at all. I give them credit for finding a gimmick to appeal to teenage boys, but they suck in all things music. If you held a gun to my head and told me to play a kiss song or die, I'd probably play Beth or choose death. Def Leppard was great through Pyromania, Histeria was OK and everything after that sucked. They are my SO's favorite band, so I get to see them every time they come near Omaha. AC/DC's best songs are with Bon Scott. Back in Black is a great album, but most of the Brian Johnson stuff is OK at best. When I was running track/cross country in college I always used a mix of hard rock/metal/rap to get myself psyched up. Only song I can remember being on the play list was Anthrax/PE - Bring the Noise.

Ed sheeran's dad..?

So I'm wondering when Gym is going to open an investigation into this concerning the weaponization of the DOJ?

not positive but you only need a license if you are using the drones commercially and they are above a certain size. And its not like they have a bunch of kids piloting the drones. You would need kids from the computer science dept to come up with the designs for the flight patterns. The band most likely uses a similar program to come up with movements and patterns, just people doing it on the field and not flying robots in the sky.

The journalist probably didn’t have her catalog of notes in front of her to make sure she could get the facts correct. It looks like Dave, despite trying otherwise, doesn’t have legal standing to dispute her intro email claims. She probably wanted to be well prepared in case of probable legal action taken against her for which he has legally accepted and she wanted to accurately quote and reference with her colleague. https://www.axios.com/2023/02/02/dave-portnoy-withdraws-appeal-lawsuit-insider#

MAGA puppet wouldn't allow Zelensky to address Congress? Can't afford to lose either Putin's favor it seems.

Oh man, that brings back memories! Def Leppard! What would it take to reunite the Beatles? 3 more bullets (clearly an older joke)

What has 7 arms and sucks??

Man, they sold like 100 million records. You guys are tough!

no lies detected

I did not say it was sexual harassment, I said it could be a form of sexual harassment, but not on its own, would be dependent on other factors. God damn. The panels shown in the image, on their own, if it happened in real life, would not be sexual harassment or sexual assault, either by the letter of the law or in any practical matter. Girl A asks Girl B if they want to show each other their breasts. Girl B says "absolutely not". If that is the end of the conversation, it is an awkward moment and nothing more. If Girl A continually pressed the issue despite the verbal rejection, if there was unwanted touching, if there was additional unwelcome conduct, it might be a different matter. What I suggested might be a teachable moment is discussing whether or not this was an appropriate interaction. It also doesn't have to be the focus of the lesson plan at all (and probably shouldn't be). But Anne Frank's diary is all about the thoughts and feelings of a teenage girl in hiding, which (gasp!) includes thoughts of sexuality. I don't know all of what is included in the comic version, but the original book is called "Diary of a Young Girl," not "Anne Frank: Nazi Hunter." I have a child in middle school right now reading "the Outsiders." There is a part of the book (and in the movie, which they will also watch in class) when one character harasses a girl at the movies. Is that a lot to toss on the teacher to discuss? Or might that make an interesting conversation in class? Kids are in gangs, stabbing each other, smoking cigarettes, dying. What's the point of reading the book if not to discuss some of these awkward themes? A good teacher is going to be well-suited to talk about these things and have conversations in an age-appropriate way.

I don't think anybody should be happy about Friday night games. That's high school time!

Can’t they find an extra couple hundred grand in NIL for this one quickly. Seems like money well spent

China courting our hemisphere. Where is the Monroe Doctrine when you need it We got to make sure we don't alienate our neighbors - while we 'fight a proxy war' in Ukraine. To fight the drug war and the immigration issue, we should be working on a holistic approach to the region. Foreign aid and greater cooperation should begin at 'home' before it is spent in Saudi Arabia for example. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/china-has-silently-taken-over-south-america/ar-AA1h3Nho?ocid=entnewsntp&cvid=2ca5931a15af4feee3b4219095383e5f&ei=16#image=1

And let's not forget the only times Sims has scores has been on poorly executed fluke plays. On the fumble-pass the ball hit him right in the hands, he dropped it and luckily it bounced right back into his hands and he had a receiver so wide open the Russians could have hit him without collateral damage. Pretty sure his rushing td was a broken pass play that he scrambed on. Making something out of a broken play is great except when broken plays are the only way you can make things happen. When he operates within the offense he loses concentration and screws up. Almost like he's bored out there.
