  1. Good list. I can relate to this: We are all still behind you, but even Nebraska fans have our limits
  2. Interesting. I hope others will proof her research and offer conclusions.
  3. Jefferson carrying the load tonight, but Gebbia playing well too
  4. Traditional turkey, potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, and sides.

  7. Happy Turkey Day to one and all. Whether you changed your traditional plans due to Covid, or you decided to go all out with the normal get together, I wish you and yours a virus free day.
  8. https://www.newyorker.com/sports/sporting-scene/is-college-football-making-the-pandemic-worse? For four quarters, at least, Graham Mertz, the quarterback for the University of Wisconsin, lived as if dreaming. A lanky red-shirt freshman, Mertz took the field for his first start as a Badger, in the Big Ten Conference’s season opener, on Friday, October 23rd, against the University of Illinois, and completed his first pass attempt, a gain of three yards. His second attempt gained twelve. His third, a pretty touch pass, went for a touchdown. Mertz completed his fourth attempt, his fifth, his sixth. He followed a conservative strategy, mostly screens and short passes, but grew more daring. He rolled out on a play fake and threw a touchdown off his back foot. He whipped another over the middle, a precise dart into the end zone. With less than a minute to go in the first half, he launched a fifty-three-yard touchdown pass to a streaking wide receiver. By then, he was fourteen for fourteen, with four touchdowns—he threw the ball seventeen times before he missed a target, and only then because the ball was dropped. (Graciously, he blamed himself.) He finished the game twenty for twenty-one, with five touchdowns. Patrick Mahomes, the best quarterback in the world, tweeted his amazement. J. J. Watt, the three-time N.F.L. defensive player of the year, posted a video of a man using a flamethrower, in tribute. Wisconsin won, 45–7. In a normal season, the freshman quarterback would have looked up to see eighty thousand people cheering for him, chanting and singing and calling his name. But this was not a normal season. The cold metal bleachers were bare, and the cheers that followed each of his touchdowns were fake. When the song “Jump Around” played before the fourth quarter, the small cluster of cardboard cutouts that had been installed in the stands did not jump. When it’s empty, Wisconsin’s Camp Randall Stadium has about as much charm as an old airport concourse. But a touchdown is still a touchdown, even if no crowd makes a sound. “He was smiling cheek to cheek after the first touchdown,” the tight end Jake Ferguson said of Mertz afterward. “He knew, and everyone in that huddle knew, that we were rolling.” Two days later, Mertz tested positive for the coronavirus. Then it was reported that Wisconsin’s backup quarterback had tested positive as well. By midweek, the number of positive tests within the football program was up to twelve, and included the head coach—and the team’s next game, against the University of Nebraska, was cancelled. A week later, the number of cases on the team was up to twenty-seven. Two players for Illinois also tested positive, although it was unclear if they were infected during the game or somewhere else entirely. Wisconsin’s next game, against Purdue, was called off.
  9. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/527471-progressives-see-red-flags-in-regulatory-official-on-biden-transition Progressives are raising objections to the Biden team’s pick for overseeing the transition at a key regulatory agency in the White House, arguing the official has been too sympathetic toward President Trump’s deregulatory efforts

  11. Trump needs to go back to Washington (or Mar A Lago) and start his "To Do" list for moving on.
  12. He may be wrong (I don't know) but he is definitely not unhinged. Well written and thought provoking. It is nigh on 2 years old, so who knows.
  13. I gave you a trophy @TGHusker but I really have my doubts that Biden will still be the POTUS in 4 years. Maybe I am wrong.
  14. (That's a lot of systems ) I see your point. It reminds me of the old adage "There are two things that __________ hate the most. Things staying the same, and change." Regarding the bold, if we don't rely on those that have the experience, knowledge and expertise, who are we to entrust with determining the bestest solution?
  15. Perhaps, after 4 years of different leadership, the outlook presented here will change (for the better one would hope)
  16. Much like the Canadian surgery procedure from yesterday, it seems weird that your anecdotal experience is much different than mine. My wife, a nurse, works in the largest clinic in our area. She has been there 20 years, so we know a lot of doctors and other medical related positions. Our longtime close family friend, (stood up with my brother in his wedding) is an ER/Trauma doc, and is a leading force in our new hospital. While I may have forgotten an exchange or two, all of them say a single payer Government run system will be a disaster.
  17. There is a big difference between being obligated to help, based on need, and obligated to pay umbrella based for everyone regardless of need, which could amount to hundreds of billions of dollars.
  18. Thanks Knapp. I could be much more receptive of something similar. Zero interest and extended terms with forgiveness only in extreme cases. But that is certainly not what has been batted around since Biden's victory. I would need direct confirmation from Biden if he goes the EO route.
  19. But it was posted in the spirit of I should not complain about having my tax dollars used to forgive debt of countless others that should not have had that much debt, or don't need the bailout. I believe I should complain about it.
  20. Thanks for the insight. Do you have a source that outlines that? (not poking) Everything I have read is based on forgiving all $1.3 trillion currently on the books.
  21. In an example from the original tweet: "you shouldn't buy anyone eyeglasses, unless you buy everyone eyeglasses, and it is bad to buy everyone eyeglasses because you are buying eyeglasses for people that don't need them" Why in the world should my tax dollars be used to purchase eyeglasses for people that have perfect vision and will never use them?
