  1. Good work by Ferentz. Spends 30 seconds trying to decide what to do of 4th down then tries to run the FG unit on with 8 seconds on the play clock before burning a TO. Working like a well-oiled machine. :facepalm:

    In the Big 12, we would have called that being "Pinkled". I guess in the B1G, we can start with the "you've been Ferentzed"

    :laughpound

  2. To me, it's not that he can't come in and contribute right away, it's that we're not going to get enough out of him to make it worth while. He's #4 on the chart and, even though he's looked good, is unlikely to move up.

     

    There was a similar thread before the first game and I predicted he'd only get 20-25 carries for the year. He's already at 18 but some of that is probably because of Rex's injury and I would think there would be fewer coming - both because Rex is back and we won't be going as deep in conference play.

     

    The question is would you rather have him get 30-40 carries this year or 200 four years from now?

  3. You can prosecute the guy for the ramifications of his speech. Speech is free, but if that speech has consequences, you should be punished for it. I can tell carlfense to go jump off a bridge, but if he does, I should bear some responsibility for his actions. Inciting people to violence should have consequences.

    Wow, that is one slippery slope on which you're standing.

    You are correct, which is why I back-pedaled from that statement a few hours after I posted it:

    It wasn't one of my more lucid moments. I'll beg forgiveness, and ask everyone to forget my error.

    Yeah, I responded before I got all the way down the thread.

     

    Still, it was kind of a half-backpedal (maybe a side-shuffle? :dunno ). You said there wouldn't be any grounds for legal action but you didn't really say you changed your stance on being responsible. Sorry if I'm nit-picking.

  4. So how many voters, exactly, will be disenfranchised by this?

    more than than those committing fraud. how many voters, exactly, would be too many? how many voters, exactly, have committed fraud?

    So you have no idea how many it would be but it would definitely be too many.

  5. I'll care about voter fraud as soon as there is evidence that it's a problem.

    So at what level does something become a problem? We haven't executed many people for treason lately so maybe we shouldn't worry about enforcing those laws either.
