Good punt

Sigh....

Watch Whipple put Grant in on 3rd down just to spite us all

Need to use some clock now, can’t afford a three and out n

Can't do that if Grant is dancing with the stars back there.

And here we go.

Defense needs to continue to be AGGRESSIVE.

I will be rooting for Purdue tomorrow because I can't stand Bilema.

I have a co-worker who is so pissed off that Grant is still out there playing right now, LOL

No RB is getting it done because our OL is atrocious. I’d just rotate various backs and keep it fresh.

Johnson is averaging 8 yards a carry.  Grant is averaging 2. 

Johnson needs to be in starting the 3rd.  Grant is not getting it done right now.

Whoever the coach is - don't hire the dude on a SUNDAY.  It hasn't worked out.

I just don't get why you don't keep him as ST coordinator.  The guy is good.  He's made huge improvements since being here and he loves the Huskers.  He's already here.  

 

So, a new coach is going to come in and then try to go out and find a good ST coordinator to come here and hope he's as good as Busch.

Nebraska is one of (and has been for a while) one of the worst football teams in the NCAA in special teams.  ST doesn't need a coach - it needs to be nuked from orbit.

Trev’s hiring a fired has been.  Carolina was willing to give him 40 million dollars to clear out after not being able to "get over the losing hump."  
 

WTF?

To be fair - you'd be a has been if Baker Mayfield was your QB.  He's gotten 3 head coaches fired thus far.

My daughter is a student down in Lincoln right now trying to get her undergrad as a mechanical engineer.  She's always been geeked with Tesla cars and the engineering in them.

As a software engineer, I'm loving this entire Twitter thing. I sent her the following:

"Twitter is what happens when you put a mechanical engineer in charge of a bunch of software engineers."

She said, "Whatever."

Then I said, "You could see that Musk doesn't like developers.  He charges 60k for a car that is programmed to drive itself into a wall."

I guess Twitter will be hiring engineers now. There are a number of them from Meta looking for jobs.

Yeah, nope. Nobody wants that drama.

I'm not convinced they're screwed just yet. There are a lot of pieces on the chess board still. I think DeSantis' rising stock can't be under-stated at this point, and most Republicans know that there is absolutely no way an Independent (even Trump) is winning a general election, so are enough of them willing to submarine their party just to stick it the party? Eh... maybe? What's more important for conservatives - getting the White House, or voting for a guy who has no shot of winning?

 

Biden may also be unpopular, but in the face of Trump, I think most people would still acquiesce to Biden if he chooses to run again (at least as of today).

 

And say Biden doesn't run, but they prop up a weaker candidate like Gavin Newsom or even Kamala Harris. If the ticket is R - Desantis, I - Trump, D - Newsom... I'd have a hard time betting against DeSantis.

I think Josh Shapiro from PA could get some looks as well.

How Bill can be so charming, funny and likeable and his "wife" none of those things, is amazing.  

Because if Bill said he was under fire on a tarmac in Europe, we'd believe him - because he's Slick Willie.

Hillary? Nope, couldn't believe her.  Funny to say, but she had more of a credibility issue than her husband does.

A few f-bombs in public on the wrong topic will get you fired.

 

https://www.foxnews.com/media/wisconsin-teacher-sues-school-district-after-being-fired-speaking-against-gender-identity

 

No, it wasn't ONLY her language that only got her fired.  Read the letter yourself: https://will-law.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Darlingh-Letter-from-DPI-Redacted.pdf

"You are also on video stating you oppose gender identity ideology from entering your school building.  You say none of your students will ever transition socially or medically under your 'f***ing watch.'"

If you worked as a police officer and publicly said, "I think that everybody is a criminal until I deem them not to be," you think you'd keep your job?

Not to mention, she voluntarily resigned.  She could have fought it if she thought she was on the side of right.

EDIT - I know that the topic here is that she has a First Amendment right to say what she wants to.  It's her time, she wasn't working, yada yada.

I agree with that - you get to say what you want to.  I respect that.

If a person wants to use a racial slur towards me (which has happened more times than I could count) then they are well within their right to do so.

It's constitutionally protected.

So is burning a flag.  So was Colin Kaepernick's kneeling and not standing for the national anthem.

So why are we supposed to point our finger at those that do the latter and protect the former?

If you believe in the Constitution, you have to apply the law equally.

Vote totals disagree with your incorrect assessment. 
 

You have queried every single minority voter on their assessment of whether voting has gotten easier?   Prob best not to speak in absolutes.  
 

P.S.….do you even know who controls polling precinct closures in GA? 
 

P.S.S…..GA is less restrictive than many dark blue states including our fearless leaders home state.  
 

 

Post the vote totals.  I'm not doing your work for you.

"Dems are illegally harvesting ballots..." - that's not an absolute?

P.S. - Local election boards control precinct closures in almost all 50 states, including Nebraska. They also control where your polling place is.  I know this as my church, on which I sit as a member of the board of Trustees, is a polling place.  I've seen an election commission move and close polling places - like my church - so trust me, when I hear from minorities every day who are fighting to help people exercise their rights say that it's bad, I trust what they're saying.

P.P.S. - you typed this with a straight face?

Well GA SOS was picked specifically because that state had a voting law that was complained about as being Jim Crow 2.0 and would restrict voting rights.   If you followed the link you would be able to find the vote totals for the past mid term elections to compare them.  
 

 

So his answer was to replace "Jim Crow 2.0" with "Jim Crow 2.1.1?"

Cause if you ask ANY minority voter down there in Georgia, it hasn't gotten better since he's been the SoS.

I can appreciate/understand the pessimism given what happened back in 2015/16, but I genuinely believe the political landscape and perspective on Trump has shifted too significantly by this point.

 

Moderates voted for him last time around out of pure interest, assumptions of 'doing things differently,' and successful anti-Clinton campaigning efforts by Republicans. I don't think most of the things that worked in his favor in 2015/16 are going to be relevant in two years and we already have the proof from 2020 that they didn't work (election deniers aside).

Funny thing is, had he handled the pandemic and race relations in this country with ANY semblance of consciousness...he'd probably have easily won reelection.

I can't help but feel this whole thing is, to some degree, just an ego or attempted power flex by Trump. It feels like a bit of a joke.

 

I'm just having a hard time envisioning he's going to be able to muster enough wide-ranging support to make it out of the primaries. Most Republicans I know (anecdotally, of course) are on the DeSantis train. I'm not a huge DeSantis fan, but he's a much better face for Republicans than Trump ever was or will be.

I don't think it's ego or power - it's survival.

He's thinking that as long as he runs for office that the criminal and civil cases against him pause.

You don’t believe the actual cases presented that you can easily verify by looking them up   All because the source doesn’t fit your narrative 

His "narrative?" C'mon bruh....you're spouting opinion around here as if it were fact.  You posted a single link to ONE website to a secretary of state who:

• Restricted the location of ballot drop boxes
• Prohibited non-poll workers from handing out food and drinks near voters standing in line
• Closed a large number of polling places in minority communities
• Cost his state the MLB All-Star game because of his support for such draconian and suppressive voter laws

And someone ELSE has a narrative?  Hell, I voted the other day in less than 10 minutes and was offered coffee, tea and juice from the freaking poll workers.

A state issues ID one can use to vote among other things   
The same one folks may have used to get their State bennies too?   That you said they weren’t able to get because they had to “drive 170 miles” to the closest location 

"Voter ID" doesn't exist, and as far as I've known, it's always cost SOMETHING to get some form of government ID (that's what we call them).

And I never said anyone had to drive anywhere to get a government issued ID. 

And he's using the racist "china virus" phrase again.
