Heard?! That's a new one to me. I think a few people mentioned Abdullah moving to CB. I heard that also (not pun intended). That seems odd to me as Abdullah seemed to be the #2 RB by the end of the year.

From ESPN: Pretty fast rise for Kelly. Considering how no one thinks you can run a spread offense in the NFL, this is an interesting choice.

I watched his state final in wrestling last year and he was very good. I watched him play football this year and wasn't overly impressed. In fact, I had to specifically watch for him because he really didn't make very many plays that night. However, I wouldn't mind him getting a shot to see what happens.

So ... Democrats trust sources that have a liberal bias. Republicans trust sources that have a conservative bias. This news brought to you by the democratically-affiliated polling service. We now return you to your regularly-scheduled programming ...

Not sure what your definition of a "few weeks" is but we did get Afalava and Moss just over two weeks ago. Those are the only two in the last month, however. Edit: Only two commits of the non-silent variety.

If you're talking about athletic accomplishments in Nebraska, Strickland is way up there. Tough to top Gale Sayers overall, IMO. Tough to not rank Sayers on any list of athletes..................but beyond high school, he really has nothing on his resume other than football........or did I miss something...........? True, but I guess I don't penalize someone too much for being so outstanding at one thing such that they didn't have to do anything else. He set the NE state long jump record that stood for about 45 years and even now is only 1/2 inch off the record. Plus, even though he only played football, he showed his versatility by not only being a two-time rushing champs but also being one of the best return men in the history of the league. Kind of a good at many things vs. great at one thing arguement.

Probably just remembering from early in the year. Abdullah was the KR from day one but it was Green and Heard who were in the backfield quite a bit more early in the season. Later in the year, you saw more of Abdullah back there. As of now, I'd say AA is #2 but he didn't start out that way.

I have to stop and read this evey time I check this thread - still makes me laugh.

Second.

If you're saying the situation can't be fixed, I sure hope you're wrong. We've been going to wrong way (debt-wise) for a long time and it'll take a lot to get it even pointed in the right direction.

Vilma was the #12 overall draft pick and NFL Defensive Rookie of the year.

I thought that's what I was doing. Perhaps there's some slight disconnect between presidents mandating affordable-housing quotas and Fannie and Freddie accomplishing that by buying sub-prime loans but I think you can connect the dots. I know Fannie and Freddie aren't technically part of the government but both articles were showing how they are responding to what presidents and congress were ordering. If not that, I guess you'll have to explain to me the difference between the examples I listed in the two articles and you saying the government didn't mandate it.

Because their D was so good this year? Maybe this is why M. Stoops was "on the market" so long - now he's DC all by himself.

We were 3rd in the Legends division this year. Just saying. We were thrid to two Top 15 team. Arizona was dead last in a division that had two teams with winning records. Not quite the same.

How did he imply that? What he was saying was that they started hating us alot more after we started bombing them. That makes sense, I would hate anyone who started bombing me. He said "we endlessly bomb these countries then we wonder why they get upset with us." Not "more upset". Not "are upset". To "get upset" means you were not upset before.

Ubel for the three ... we do actually have an offense, right?

We're on pace to beat them by 16! 10-8 after five minutes means we should win 80-64, right???

With no offer yet, I'm guessing Plan B.

still haven't been anywhere near great but better the last couple games. Can we take another step up?

Second.

The fallacy of Paul's comments is he's implying that they actually liked us before we "endlessly bombed" them and that they were innocent bystanders in all of this. Not saying that is justification for war but he's making up a straw man arguement. I'm curious what you think these would be? Another straw man arguement because it makes the assumption that we would be willfully harborning a known terrorist. If we were playing both sides of the terrorism game, it would be a totally different story on a lot of things. Are you making that case?

I'm not saying it was the only cause but I'm not sure you can argue that government didn't play it's part.

I wouldn't mind seeing Shoff get a shot. I watched him play in person this year and really wasn't terribly impressed but he is a stud wrestler (I think his first three matches at state last year lasted a COMBINED 1:45 or something like that) which is usually a good sign and apparently can run track as well. If we end up with a few more scholarships than expected, he could be worth a flier.\ Edit: I didn't give him enough credit. His first three matches at state last year lasted 10 seconds, 28 seconds, and 13 seconds. He slacked off in the finals and only pinned the guy in 3:28.
