Got the fourth foul on Oregon state’s big girl. they don’t get her subbed out. so what do we do? Chuck a three without even looking at Markowski. Then Markowski shoots a fade away instead of going at her. Missed terribly short.

Correct.

Ya I don’t think we would ever have to worry about the government doing experiments on its citizens without them knowing………or do we need to qualify that with “anymore”

Chucky Hepburn coming home?

Love that this is pretty much the coldest it has ever been in March (almost April) and the Enviro-bros are all of a sudden GONE! Shocker. Dorks If it was 80 and sunny right now...they would all have the BIGGEST erection! GLOBAL WARMING!

The good thing for me is that I never have mixed emotions. f#&% those commies.

You have to have your players set up in the tournament. Shelley was 5-21 in the two games. Markowski was 4-17 today. We shot 31% from the floor today and 20% on threes. Not much hope when you do that.

Now the question we all want to ask: what kind of mixed emotions is @teachercd feeling? This is like "ham-a$$" and those damn "*ussian commies" duking it out...

I see the Russian disinformation bros are out in full force with the narrative that IS is a CIA backed organization and that they carried out the terrorist act in Moscow on behalf of Ukraine and the US. Like this guy.

But they don’t have to work on anything or solve any problems because the continued support of their base only requires rage farming. I’d say the problem isn’t the politicians but rather the people that continue to support MAGA. There is no R party separate from MAGA anymore.

Yeah….along with Sallis.

They certainly could have worked to solve a few problems along the way. HR2 was the only semi good major bill I can even think of that they worked on

As an avid golfer, putting is THE thing. I personally choke down low on my putter and I only look at the ball when I make contact. I know some people only look at the hole. But, whatever works for you is what you should do.

If you own a gun, you are part of the problem. None of us know when one of us might "snap", we just don't. If you own a gun and you are posting here about how you are for stricter gun laws, you are lying. You can't own a gun, you can't claim to be a responsible gun owner (they ALL claim they are) and you can't claim to be mentally sane. You are lying. Because you just don't know what will happen. So please, if you are a gun owner, just stop posting. The fact that we have so many posters here that own guns but then try to post about gun laws is sad. Go turn your gun in, you have never used it, you don't need it.

We're tanking for the draft obviously lol

We probably didn't deserve to win the other night. We definitely don't deserve to win today. Our shot selection is horrid.

I never do. Don’t want those chemicals infiltrating my immaculate body. On a real note, I’m obviously not saying the airplane thing is a thing, but to say the government wouldn’t secretly try something is a disservice to the Tuskegee Airmen or the folks that got experimented on with LSD. But I guess all the Airmen had to do was not join the military apparently.

“Every suicidal person should be allowed to possess guns…” That sounds ridiculous because it is.

Hey David, the US already did what you said they should do 2 hours before you said they should do it.

May as well get the speculation going. 3 out of eligibility: Keisei, Allick, Coleman 4 rotation guys w/ 1 year left: CJ, Brice, Mast, Gary 3 rotation guys w/ multiple years left: Hoiberg, Lawrence, Rice Other scholarship guys: Lloyd, Keita, Ulis, Diop Besides the graduating seniors, the only one I can't see back for sure is Lloyd. I wonder if Keita or Ulis will stick around? And it would be nice to keep 3 of the 4 seniors to be. (Getting old helps so much in CBB)

I would view this as fantasy too though.

it will not be an armed coup. they plan on using the courts and MAGA AGs and a republican congress to hand it to trump (i think that is why some republicans are "retiring_ early....they don't want to get their arms twisted for that cause). i wouldn't rule out rogue MAGAS doing something stupid but that wouldn't to too organized IMO.

I too do not believe there will be some sort of armed coup after the election...regardless of who wins. What's crazy to me is that in 2020 roughly 155 million people voted, and it came down to roughly 40 thousand votes across 3 States. I am not in favor of banishing the EC, but perhaps some sort of ranked choice, or a viable 3rd party can bring some clarity and a defined resolution.

Too bad. We're lucky to have someone who actually knows their s#!t to counter the gut feelings of less informed posters. Given that he'd already provided multiple dumbed down versions that some folks didn't trust, he really had no choice. Not sure a few paragraph breaks would have won you over. Appreciate the effort Madcows.

I thought it was a good read.

Oh...OK, there it is, I found the disconnect. It's you. While you're "pretty sure this isn't the case", I do the work, and know it's the case. So Mav, can I call you Mav? Anyway, so Mav, I work in finance at a major university. I have friends who work in finance at major universities. Locally, I have friends who work at UNO, Creighton, UNL, Chadron and College of St Mary's, I correspond on a regular basis with finance people at other universities both in state and out of state. I have friends that work on the academic side, I have friends who work on the athletics side. I have worked on both sides. I have worked in audit at a major university, where part of my job was going to departments making sure the accounting practices they were doing in said department followed GAAP and university guidelines (you'd be shocked at some of the "creative accounting" athletics and development will do to provide tax benefits to major donors) so when all departments are rolled up to Treasury to finalize our reports, there are no accounting anomalies between departments that need to be corrected. Our annual NCAA audit is a stickler for accounting irregularities within the athletic department. The main commonality between all these different schools, whether the athletic department is in the black, the red, or relatively breaking, even was how capital projects were funded. While each university will have it's own naming formats, we all do it the same. There's this crazy account and budget for each school that is some derivative of "Capital Projects". Projects that are just too big for the department to handle, ie new dorms, new chem labs, upgrades to infrastructure (think repaving parking lots, upgrading HVACs, expanding buildings etc). The funds for this budget come from various sources, donations, state funds, fundraising events, and a portion of net profits from the university. Individual departments will submit proposals annually for capital projects, these are then reviewed by the board. Some are given a green light, some a yellow and others a red. Within green and yellow, they are then prioritized. With every proposal, each department will project how much they will fundraise to help mitigate the total estimate. Athletics will follow these same principals, even the ones who are in the black. That's because regardless of the net revenue/loss in athletics, they do not have capital projects in their annual budgets. This is because there's a whole different department that has that budget (that crazy Capital Projects department). So, when UNL announced major capital improvements to Memorial Stadium, it had already had a proposal done, with estimates of cost and fundraising goals, gone through the approval process, given a green light and allowed to proceed. Athletics will help fund the project, but they do not, and more importantly CANNOT, fund the project entirely. Now when funds to the university as a whole are reduced, one of the first areas that will be impacted will be the Capital Projects budget, as usually those are not priority needs for the university to run day-to-day operations. Hopefully, you can see where this is going...but I'll try to dumb it down for you and the board. Mav, when capital funding budget is decreased, I want you to take a wild guess on what that means for current capital projects? Yes, you are correct, those capital projects now have less funds available. Good work using your deductive skills. To counteract that, the project has to be modified to fit within the new budget, or the project department will have to make up the difference in fundraising. In some rare cases, the department will request a temporary allocation of their annual budget to the capital budget. Doing so usually means a reduction in overhead within said department. The biggest overhead that can be reduced is staff, hence why it doesn't happen often. Now follow along with me Mav on a fun little ride, when the governor reduced funds to UNL (based on what we've learned above) what do you think happened to their stadium upgrade capital project? Correct!! The project now has less funds available. While it's nice that UNL Athletics operates in the black, it will give them a little bit of wiggle room for some shortfalls, that net revenue in no way covers the new variance within the project. This gives athletics a few options, either go back to the people that have committed above and beyond their normal donations to UNL, to help fund this capital project and ask for even more money or modify the current project to fit within the new budget. One thing I know (notice here how I didn't say pretty sure?) about UNL Athletics is they will not request a temporary allocation of their budget to the capital project. That's just not what they do. All of this is still a dumbed down version of what the finance team will do, and this team will be on both the academic side and the athletic side, all rolling up under Treasury. The one take away I want you to understand Mav, athletics is not covering this project 100%, and (I can't emphasize this part enough) would never be able to do it on their own, the university handles this project. And while you're "pretty sure that's not how this works", I can emphatically tell you, you are wrong, and it is how this works.

He was learning and struggled the first year and a half. The rest of the time, he was clearly our best offensive lineman and had very few snap issues. People seem to remember his Freshman year more clearly than his senior year.

Well they sucked me in just in time to let me down.

This is awesome!

Markowski is 6' 3". The problem is the lack of athletes around here. Petrie & Potts are 6' 2" & freshman. Nothing great in the other classes. We have a 6' 2" gal coming from IL, averaged 17 in HS

Now we're down 15. Potts in foul trouble. I kind of don't blame her for that last foul. She was fouled on the other end, and it wasn't called. She's getting frustrated, and it's easy to see why.

not as bad as "every idiot who threatens to kill people should be allowed to possess guns"

Honestly, I don't hate it if this game gets cancelled. NU is 4-0 on the week and a loss to NMSU is honestly way more harmful than a win. No point in pushing for a game in the crappy weather and risking injury.

i believe he doesn't want to be part of what the MAGA/Republicans have planned if trump loses the election. i don't think they care if trump wins or loses the election...they have plans to overthrow a biden win and any republican that doesn't go with it will be labeled a traitor by MAGA and made a target. .

In the snow.

This is a cop out. If his family is threatened in any way he needs to go public with that too; with receipts. This mess isn't going to end as long as no one is willing to try and fix it. I wish I was smarter and likeable, I'd run

Maybe…..the GOP needs to do some self examination and figure out how to not be such a big s#!t show.

Again, Donald Trump and his father were defrauding New York State and others by hundreds of millions of dollars long before Don ran for President. It may indeed be a political witch hunt at this point, but that doesn't alter the fact that it's long overdue.

RIP to the innocent civilians. My god.

Reduced revenue from the state because Pillen didn't get his way? If that's what is being said.....Nebraskans really need to think about who they vote for in that office.
