My guess is James is speaking in regards to the accounts like the Babylon Bee that got suspended for no good reason.

Oh, is that what you guess? Because he said: "So liberals applauded the suppression of millions of conservatives, including a POTUS."

He is clearly talking about Trump and his followers, who do actively spread lies and hate, which certainly does hurt people. So going back to funhusker's question: why do you want people like that to have a larger audience?

I would prefer a Saturday announcement to dominate the news cycle as other college teams play. He could show up personally on the  Fox Football telecast and deliver a singing telegram to Urban- they both walk off and board a plane back to Nebraska ...Trev knows the value of free publicity.

 

Even though we play on Friday, our next HC is likely going to be coaching a game on Saturday, so we wouldn't hear an announcement until Sunday at the earliest. Unless it's Kiffin, who coaches on Thursday.

Just pointing out that my neighbor would know more about gender identity than I do. They are active in the LGBTQ community, and I assume that many of  these gender definitions come from that community.

Maybe you should tell your neighbor how much time you spend on Huskerboard b!^@hing and moaning about cancel culture and gender identity and see what her perspective is.

People can’t even remember the planets in the solar system.

I mean, not knowing the planets is actually more concerning than having multiple gender options on a form. Ignorance of science does and has actually hurt people, while someone else having a gender identity that you do not understand does not hurt you at all.

Up 1 - 0 at half.

 

NIce start, but they can't let up.

 

 

I've been watching too many Husker games...I totally expect Wales to score 2 goals in the final minutes of this game now.

Urban is coming!!!

Can't believe all you jerkwads wasted page 666 like that. Crusader was the only one who gave it any thought?

It could also have been some other normal looking 40 year old white dude around the stadium, there have been no confirmed pictures mailed to anyone, just sayin.

Matt Rhule kinda looks like every maintenance guy that works in the facilities department of every university. It was just some dude looking at the toilet in Trev’s private bathroom.

In that same simpler time, Trump would have been forced to resign because a majority from both parties recognized that -- like Nixon --  he had grossly mis-used his power at the expense of the Democracy that supposedly unites us, and/or he had become a political liability. 

Hell, in that scenario, Trump's racist comments would have ended his campaign before a single primary and we never would have worried about his presidency. Instead, that racism catapulted him to rockstar cult leader status.

Maybe not media bias…maybe just a short term memory like everyone else.

 

 

 

I mean, if Hunter Biden had been installed as a member of the executive branch, put in charge of sensitive foreign policy matters, and had access to top secret info, without any relevant qualifications or experience whatsoever, and was active in undermining our own government, then yes I would agree that it would be a priority to investigate him.

Crazy - this isn't all that far away from me so went to read more specifics (like the whole story) in reputable papers - only articles appear in Christian Times, Tucker, NYPost, some conservative british rags and etc.  I'll be sure to share what I can find that might have more fair balanced perspective.  But if this 'dad" was posting crap about a student on a public social media page they did the right thing in firing him.

Yeah, I looked up a few more articles as well. It seems like an interesting case. So far only one side has been revealed, but there are plenty of facts and alleged facts that could be discussed. Based on what I've read so far, I don't actually think that the school handled this case well, but the parent certainly did not act appropriately either. 

However, for the sake of Huskerboard, I doubt that some of the other folks chiming in on this topic are actually interested in a nuanced conversation about it.

- "Smoke around Rhule is thick.  It's real"

- If Nebraska announces this Sunday/Monday, its Rhule.  It it waits until after Iowa it won't be him.

Breaking news! If there is an announcement this weekend, we will find out who the coach is. If the announcement happens later, we won't find out quite yet!

I can't believe we get this kind of insider information for free!

I’ve only caught the occasional snippet of Nebraska basketball over the past few years, and been disappointed every time. I turned on the second half tonight and was pleasantly surprised to see a halftime lead over a Big East team. 
 

But then it was nothing but absolute dog$h!t. 
 

This product is f**king terrible, Hoiberg. Time to GTFO.

Apparently this is the next hot rumor, but this one might actually have legs. If you haven't seen it yet, it's from a pretty reputable source IMO:

This is kind of interesting...I would like to know more about what point this teacher was trying to make? Was this a white supremacy flex, directly to a group of black students? Was he trying (and failing) to make engage in a nuanced discussion about implicit bias? (which is a little too complex for a middle school classroom) What was the context of this conversation, how did this comment end up coming out?

Ah, after another week of endlessly ridiculous comments in the numerous threads about the coaching search, we can finally all relax for a day and enjoy the weekly game thread, where folks are more rational and level-headed.

The debt service bill will soon be as large or larger then the military budget.    Hope that sinks in to everyone that one of our largest line item expenses is going to just pay off interest on debt.   

You make a good argument for keeping a Dem in the White House...since that is the only time that Republicans are ever concerned about debt or deficits.

The OP also started a thread in September saying Aranda was the next coach. So pardon me if I take a dump over this BS rumor, especially for posting a video of a scumbag human being like Zach Smith and giving him more clicks.

LOL…..keep excusing anti-Semitic Democrat politicians like Squad members who also have a hatred for policing in order to stick it to R’s.

So...you said "politicians" and "Squad members"...plural. Who else is antisemitic? Who has a hatred for policing (aside from the MAGA insurrectionists, of course)? 

Since you now appear to be concerned about antisemitism, will you commit to fighting against antisemitism, racism, and xenophobia wherever it may occur?

Ya know, if they actually went to a drag show, they might enjoy themselves. I went to one in Puerto Vallarta a few years ago and it was hilariously entertaining.

 

Hell, I performed in one a few years back...and if I must say so myself, I was fabulous.

Come lock me up, repressed conservative wankers.

You owe it to yourself to watch the Weird Al movie that just came out, it's on the Roku TV app. Weird Al is a national treasure and a true American hero. 

1. These are 4 names among dozens that have been bandied about for the last two months, without ever getting any actual verification from any reliable source. No need to read too much into this.

2. Out of everything Husker fans have been through, this article is what makes you feel like crying? Good god, man.

3. We did not need another godd@mn separate thread about the muckerfuthing coaching search!

Again, why does it bother you?  Do you think that if he takes the job, he's not going to care enough and do a bad job because of it? 

Yeah, that's pretty much the only thing...the hunger. But coaches at that level are certainly a different breed. 

I mean, my work is meaningful and I like what I do. If I didn't have to do it, I might still be willing to help out do some work here and there for free. But I wouldn't commit to 14 hour days in a fishbowl over the long haul. Maybe that's why I'm not a football coach.

One thing that bothers me about Rhule is the money he is getting paid from Carolina. That's $10 million per year, and my understanding is that the salary from any job he gets is simply removed from the Panthers buyout. Nebraska, nor any other university, is going to pay him more than $10 million. So that means he would be coaching for free, for at least the next four years. Am I getting that wrong?

I don't care how good of a coach he might be, or how much a person can love coaching...why would anyone take the kind of job that requires this much grinding and stress...for free? Does anyone worry that it would sap his motivation?
