I am new to this site. I have always been a fan of college football, Nebraska at the top of my list. I have a bucket list of campuses/stadiums to visit. I am interested in the UCLA game Nov 2nd. As a Massachusetts native, but "MassHuskerviller", what tips can you give me? suggested sections in Memorial Stadium hotels in Lincoln anything else I have plenty of red to wear. Thanks. Go Big Red.

Within the next two-three weeks, expect some predictions and crystal balls for Neb.

This is a horrible problem that college sports has to get a handle on.

They might go with one of the other 3 guys in the qb room.

And at Colorado, he has no clue who his coach is going to be or any of his teammates. Heck, he might be the only HS recruit in the class.

Who TF thinks it’s funny (laughing emoji) that US politicians have sided with Putin and are doing his bidding? Or maybe you’re just stupid and refuse to believe it in the face of overwhelming and unquestionable evidence. There are only two choices here. 1) you are amazingly stupid and don’t deserve an opinion or 2) you are also a traitor to the US and deserve the fate of a traitor. Well and a 3rd option I guess, both.

https://www.thebulwark.com/p/the-gop-is-the-party-of-putin?r=2jt0v&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web “RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA HAS MADE ITS WAY into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base.” That acknowledgement from Michael McCaul, Republican chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, was echoed a few days later by Michael Turner, the chairman of the Intelligence Committee. “It is absolutely true, we see, directly coming from Russia, attempts to mask communications that are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia messages, some of which we even hear being uttered on the House floor.” Among the falsehoods that GOP members of Congress are repeating is the notion that the Ukraine war is actually a battle between NATO and Russia. “Of course it is not,” Turner told CNN. “To the extent that this propaganda takes hold, it makes it more difficult for us to really see this as an authoritarian versus democracy battle.” "Recall that when Putin launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Trump’s initial response was that it was a “genius” move. I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, “This is genius.” Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine—of Ukraine—Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful. He used the word “independent” and “we’re gonna go out and we’re gonna go in and we’re gonna help keep peace.” You gotta say that’s pretty savvy. A non-sociopath would say it was raw aggression of the worst kind. A normal Republican of the pre-Trump mold would have been outraged at the attempted rape of a peaceful, democratic neighbor. Most Republican office holders are not sociopaths, but they take their marching orders from one and have adjusted their consciences accordingly. The talking point J.D. Vance and his ilk favor is that they cannot be concerned about Ukraine’s border when our southern border is also being invaded. Of course it’s absurd to compare immigrants looking for work or safety to tanks, bombs, and missiles, but that’s what passes for Republican reasoning these days. In any case, it was revealed to be hollow when Biden and the Democrats offered an extremely strict border bill to sweeten aid for Ukraine, and the GOP turned it down flat. Russia’s fingerprints are all over the Republicans’ failed attempt to impeach (in all senses of the word) Joe Biden. Their star witness, Alexander Smirnov—who alleged that Hunter and Joe Biden had been paid $5 million in bribes by Burisma—was indicted in February for making false statements. High-ranking Russians appear to be his sources. Putin now wields more power over the GOP than anyone other than Trump. GOP propagandists indulge fictions that even many Russians can see through: Ukraine is governed by Nazis; Russia is a religious, Christian nation; Russia is fighting “wokeness.” Republicans are not so much isolationist as pro-authoritarian. They’ve made Hungary’s Viktor Orbán a pinup and they mouth Russian disinformation without shame. Putin must be pinching himself.

In theory. In real life: FoxNews: Biden Treasury Dept official testifies 'any dollar' Iran gets in aid will fund 'violent' activities Just like Gaza... NYP: Hamas leaders worth staggering $11B revel in luxury — while Gaza’s people suffer

You really don’t understand that issue.

No

It's about time struggling and even relatively stable citizens start benefitting from taxpayer funded relief the same way the ultra rich and massive corporations do. Interesting editorial from Phil calling the 750k people with 20+ years of repayment the biggest winners, since they're neither the biggest by number of people impacted, amount of money impacted, or amount of income impacted. I'd say the 16 million people having interest waived and the 360,000 significantly poorer folks having a much larger chunk of their financial burden relieved are both bigger winners in different perspectives.

Rhule learned last year that even vague, tangential statements will be used by Colorado as rage fuel, so he made a point not to give the reporter anything. The whole gist of the article is manipulative. It was pretty obvious the reporter was trying to drum up controversy.

Oh please... you might want to do a little research on what has happened to their air defense since our assistance dried up and how they are bombing complete villages. Sorry to disappoint you about your party of Putin.

I'm curious why everyone is willing to throw NPR into the trash heap of biased journalism based on one person's statement. How much vetting has been done on Berliner's allegations? Here's one thread about that. These are just the first few posts. It's a long thread. Berliner does regurgitate Republican talking points that we keep seeing right here on HuskerBoard from everyone's favorite goalpost-mover. Why does someone who's apparently willing to fudge facts get so much up-front credibility?

I don't think any QBs in the portal will be interested in coming here. Sure it's only 3 scholarship QBs, but we're clearly planning on Raiola winning the job so there's not a path to playing time. The portal QB ship sailed for this year when we didn't push for McCord.

He's going to be hosting Dawson Merritt, 2025 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ LB from Overland Park on his OV in June. By all reports Merritt over the top loved his unofficial visit this the weekend and their families hit it off well too. He'd be huge pickup and has offers from just about all the blue chip P5 teams.

Life would be better off if these people would be able to face consequences

Odd that people would think Israel's biggest intelligence failure in history is some how directly Joe Biden's fault, and that Trump assassinating an Iranian general wasn't an escalation/provocation of Iran.

Making Archy Get Absurd?

I didn't get that from the article at all. I saw a comparison of two ends of a spectrum.

The professional leagues can impose the rules they do because the athletes are employees who have collective bargained those conditions. Neither of those are true in the case of collegiate athletics.

He already has too many receipts to keep track of.

Our RB room isn't as bad as what some think. RJ and EJ have proven to be serviceable and could actually be every down guys if needed. Ervin just needs to catch a break and stay healthy. Ives and Dante are young but have TONS of potential and just need some game reps. We essentially have everyone back from last year minus Grant and we were 2nd in the B1G in rushing.

Good point.

Boom!

Absolutely bonkers considering the pro crime, anti-police, authority hating domestic policies of the Biden Administration.

In the early days of lazy 24/7 news reporting, you just grabbed a spokesperson from both sides and gave them air time. Voila --- fairness. But you can't presume both sides are making an equally good case unless you research their claims, a job that reporters are paid to do on behalf of the average less-informed viewer. If you have a partisan agenda --- and I'm assuming every journalist casts a vote -- you have to be ready to report some inconvenient truths. But....if you uncover some shoddy intel on Russian collusion or a legitimate theory of a Covid lab leak, does that wipe out the larger stories about Russian electoral influence and pandemic response? It shouldn't, but of course it does. There are even people on this board who think Donald Trump was exonerated by the Mueller Report, even when Mueller went to the trouble of literally declaring the opposite. Kinda makes me think of the steroid era in baseball. The drug-free players watched the roid heads elevating their stats and salary, apparently facing no consequences from the league. Until some said f#&% it: if we're not playing fair, and I'm getting no love for playing clean, I'll take the short cut, too. Fox was tv news on steroids, and CNN and MSNBC realized they better juice, too.

Really amazing considering the job killing, worker hating, anti-growth economic policies of the Biden Administration. The American public, fortunately, is smart enough to realize that merely doubling the economic performance of peer nations represents an economic catastrophe.

They're setting the table for political violence when he's inevitably convicted. Why does MAGA hate the rule of law so much?

This should go on another page but.....there's a lot about student loan forgiveness that offends the sensibilities, including mine. It would appear to play to an already entitled segment of America and ignore others more worthy of relief. And it's only part of a much larger issue of higher education that has multiple culprits and demands an almost complete retooling. But it's also not a simple pandering handout -- if left untreated this unprecedented student loan debt is going to have a negative impact on the larger economy for years. And it's not like these students haven't been repaying their debt: in most cases they've been paying in tens of thousands of dollars in interest without touching the principal, a ridiculously predatory practice also plied on underclass borrowers. If you've got the time and can handle a host with a liberal bent, John Oliver does a good job walking through this with vetted numbers and jokes.

Weird how out of hand this rift has gotten. Who woulda thought a simple disagreement over which exclamation to use, sheeeit or sonuva…, would come to this?

Maybe we could stop funding both sides. Remember last month when a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory gave Iran billions? With the exception of Biden and the State Dept, everyone knew that was a terrible idea. NYP: Biden continues Iran’s access to $10 billion just weeks after its proxy killed three American soldiers

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

This isn't really true. The problem with MAGA candidates without Trump is that the horde of morons refuse to trust any non-Trump candidate. MAGA is convinced Trump is their savior. Any non-Trump candidate is one Q-anon post away from being labeled a pedophile and a RINO. DeSantis entire candidacy revolved around the word "woke" and losing a PR battle with Disney, and this was a terrible candidate. If you wanted to dominate elections, my advice would be to first not vote for embarrassing candidates like Trump in 2016 and 2020. If you continue to participate in politics - which you have no business doing and should avoid at all costs - nominate normal candidates. If Republicans nominated Mitt Romney types for all their races, they would control the Presidency, House, and probably 57 Senate seats. Republicans play politics on easy mode but they punch themselves in the face repeatedly.

I’m all for waving the interest and don’t feel that government provided student loans should have any interest from the beginning.

I put "runningblind badass football complex" in the suggestion box but they obviously didn't like it

Oh boy.....

This is no different than the Obama folks telling Biden what to do. No one seriously thinks Biden is making all the decisions at the WH with his current mental functions.

I used to think that the power brokers of the party would eventually get burned out from Trump and decide to move on. Given the losses in the ‘18 Midterms, the ‘20 General and the massive underperforming in ‘22 Midterms, the endless indictments, charges, lawsuits, installing his daughter in law to drain RNC funds, and the overall endless chaos he brings… and there's barely a whisper of moving on from him. I don’t think they ever will now. Which doesn’t make sense to me from a strategical perspective. If you had that kind of candidate on paper without a name, no political entity would touch them. And to the people who say “Oh but his base is so fanatical, the R’s can’t lose his base.” Yes. They are fanatical, but they’ve clearly not given the party a boost in power. They’ve either lost or underperformed in every election cycle. There’s a palpable hunger in this country, on both sides of the aisle, for someone new, different and young. I think this hunger far outweighs the MAGA base. I’ll never understand why the R’s can’t recognize this and move on.

That sure is what it seems like to me. OK, if FISA is being used to randomly pick out US citizens and spying on them without a warrant, then I can see how that's bad and shouldn't happen. However, let's say FISA is used to spy on some Russians in the US. During that, the surveillance reveals that these Russians were having secret discussions/meetings/phone calls...etc with certain US governmental people....I don't have a problem with those US officials falling into the surveillance...while they are monitoring the Russians. Now, then if they want to surveil those officials above and beyond activities not tied to those Russians, then they should have a warrant. I guess if I was an elected official, I would just always assume my relationships and discussions with foreign actors (especially ones from a country that is hostile to us) is going to be monitored and conduct business accordingly. Honestly, I think intelligence community isn't doing their job unless they are....if there's reason for suspicion. And, sorry, if you're an elected official and you're having secret meetings with Russians and you get get watched.....that's on you....stop having the secret meetings that you're not willing to tell anyone about.
