  1. Nebraska recruiting is going to blow up if Tutt commits this weekend and Pledger and Jordan Moore de-commit from their respective schools next week.
  2. Attendance is down in the SEC and schools are pissed. Most suspect it's because the NCAA passed a rule banning payments to "close relatives" for "working the camps" this year. No way those are actually related, right? It might very well be because the kids can take official visits in the summer now.
  3. What are people complaining about. These horrible people have the audacity to come into our country and think they can start a company, employ people, pay taxes and be innovators. These people must be stopped!!!!
  4. I will continue to challenge comments that generalize large groups of people without basis. That's no matter if it's billionaires, poor people, black people, white people, men, women, teenagers...whatever. You believe I only do it with billionaires because it seems like it's so simple on here to chastise that particular group and so many times it's baseless. The problem with this explanation is that's almost never what happens in these topics. Regardless of context or whether there's any generalization at all, if anyone mentions anything related to wealth or income, you're there to tell them they hate rich people. I'm sorry I rain on your parade of crying about rich people. If you do the same with other groups, I will be sure to do the same when the comment makes no sense in reality.
  5. Klein never really tells how everyone is going to have access to healthcare under a totally free market system. He also never really explains how health care will be paid for.
  6. Translation...OU is telling him not to. OU? Thought I was in a different thread.
  7. But that's politics. I don't think this is a death knell for the Democratic Party. But I would've preferred a shot across the bow on the GOP as a message since this election was so focused on healthcare and what they're doing with that is awful. This certainly isn't going to make them think twice about it. They're still not facing consequences for how they're governing or Trump in general. Quite the opposite... I think this would put some wind in their sails as McConnell tries to advance their healthcare bill. To the bold. Ok...great....he said the AHCA is garbage....great...because it was. But, did he give any other ideas other than the ACA is great and everyone should love it?????
  8. This is a small baby step in the right direction.
  9. The coal miners are just one example. Farmers are affected by environmental regulations too. It's reasonable that they may feel negative feelings. Workers in steel plants. Workers in Oil companies who are affected by not being allowed to drill for more oil. The list can go on and on. There are certain plastics that are more expensive to produce here than in China because of the processes they are allowed to use there compared to here. How about anyone who goes and buys a car that's way more expensive because of environmental regulations on emissions controls? I've heard multiple times a mechanic complain about those f'ing emission controls he has to work around to get a job done...or, not even being able to work on certain parts of cars because of it. Now.....like I said....I'm not saying that all of these feelings are logical or based on reasonable facts. But, those feelings are throughout various income ranges.
  10. And, I gave an example of coal miners. Coal has decreased because of many reasons. One in particular being that NG has become much more available and cheaper. BUT....that's not what those people hear. They see all the talk about how dirty coal is and how it's causing global warming and how we all need to move away from coal. They see THAT as the reason they lost their jobs and can't find new ones in their area. This election is a prime example of that. They voted for Trump because he claimed he was bringing coal jobs back after Obama cut coal....in large part because of climate change issues. It's baffling on why this is so hard to see when there are very clear examples of it happening. When something negatively affects you financially, it doesn't matter if you are a billionaire or someone making 35,000. You tend to be against it because it hurts you financially. PS....and also....the "hate the earth and all it's inhabitants" is total BS too. Just because someone is against some environmental issues doesn't mean the hate the earth and all it's inhabitants.
  11. I don't think so. That only applies if they're enrolled for the fall semester then leave (I think). If he comes back in January, this won't affect the 2018 class.
  12. That is all I said. I said it's BS to claim billionaires have a reason to hate the Earth and someone making 35,000 doesn't.
  13. Why would someone with a billion dollars be against environmental regulations more than a person making 36,000 who perceives he lost his job because of them?
  14. I agree with Knapp. Another point is, at least in the national media, the Democrat in this race ran on...."let's make Trump angry". Did he have actual policy ideas? Did he have stances on issues that related to the voters? Did he come off as someone who was going to try to unify Washington and calm the tensions in the country? If a Democrat is going to go into a heavily Republican area and win, they have to do better than that.
  15. And...about this comment. I will continue to challenge comments that generalize large groups of people without basis. That's no matter if it's billionaires, poor people, black people, white people, men, women, teenagers...whatever. You believe I only do it with billionaires because it seems like it's so simple on here to chastise that particular group and so many times it's baseless.
  16. Why do you think the 1%ers have utter disdain for the planet and all of it's inhabitants? The comment implies that they are negatively affected financially. The second comment about the 35K crowd implied that it's puzzling why they would be against environmental policies because they don't make as much as the 1%ers. Now....how in the heck am I supposed to take that any other way? My point is, (no matter if it's perception or reality) people of all income levels believe they are negatively affected by environmental policies financially. I even gave examples of that. If the original comment wasn't about trying to say income level makes people more or less environmental friendly, then.....why bring up their incomes? And....if that IS what was being implied, where's the proof of that? Now....the person who made the original comments hasn't given any reasoning behind his comments.
  17. Hmmmm......true. If he's back in January, he would still count on signing day.
  18. Another scholarship just opened up for 2018.
  19. imagine if Fuller would have had a father figure like this.
  20. I agree. Never thought I would say that about the guy. Wow.... "We're all on board with the decision that has been made," Keyshawn Johnson Sr. said. "I look forward to him coming back in January, and hopefully he comes back as a mature young adult. Mike Riley and coach Keith Williams and the staff let him know this is not a big party. I'm full support with Mike Riley and his decisions. I support him 100 percent. One thing you will not do as my son is you will not embarrass Nebraska, you will not embarrass Mike Riley and you will not embarrass this family. If you mature and you're ready to resume your football career and academic goals, then Nebraska will be ready to embrace you ... If he does everything he's supposed to do, he can join the football program again and become successful."
  21. So.....these are all coming in today. Are all these experts thinking he is going to commit this weekend?
