  1. And the leader that caused those problems is not in power anymore. I know the new one is his brother, but you gotta start somewhere.
  2. I'm for at least trying to normalize relations with Cuba and even Iran.
  3. So much this. And not just with college players. It seems anything is a fire-able offense these days. I am all for deleting this entire thread...if you are as well either plus one this or reply. Start a thread on DUI's if you guys want but let this freaking kid be. He f'd up...got a ticket and will pay the fine. Yes
  4. Yes, the problem is surge-pricing. 10-15 min. rides that may cost $10 at 2:00 p.m. cost $80 at 2:00 a.m. So, it's not the most reasonable option, even though it is certainly (and obviously) better than getting a DUI.Sometimes that's true, but not always. And the cool thing about on demand services is that uber drivers will start to flex to those high demand periods, thus driving the price down. If I were a low wage earner and could make an extra $200 per weekend driving drunks home from the bar, I'd consider it. That's very true - the theory is as surge-pricing goes up, more drivers are incentivized to go online and drive prices down. However, in my experience, and that of my friends, a lot of people taking an Uber at 2:00 a.m. on a weekend are still having to drop in the $50-$60 plus range. I know someone who had a $102 bill for a 15 min. ride this past weekend. That's why many people I know, who are relying on an Uber, take some more personal responsibility and will often try to get one around 1:15 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. when it's cheaper. Good Lord....why not just take a normal cab? In college, we would lots of times take a cab TO the bar so that nobody would drive home. At the end of the night, just call another one and boom....you're home. Sure as heck didn't cost $60 -100. How long ago were you in college? The reason I ask is that just 20 years ago, that would be a $40 to $65 dollar in 1996 dollars. late 80s.
  5. Which causes me to bang my head when I see or hear people claim that we are an imperialistic nation only out to seek our own self interests while being lead down that path by a few wealthy people only wanting to get richer. BRB I thought you needed a few of these: :bang It will help you feel better. You can thank me later. And one more for my agreement Thanks.... It's more fun though to have a headache from a hangover.
  6. No kidding???? Really......who would've thought.

  8. The free tuition for everyone is just an idiotic idea. You will have even more people who should be doing something other than going to a 4 year college going just because...hey...it's free. I am a FIRM believer that college students should have some skin in the game. They need to be thinking about money coming out of their pocket for that education or many just won't take it seriously just like many don't take free HS seriously. I have absolutely no desire to flood more college campuses with kids that waste everyone's time that is trying to get a good education. I can attest to this. I was one of those kids for 2 years. I was a total waste of time and oxygen in college. What changed? When I had to get a job and pay for it myself. Dang right I got more serious about things. Because I totally wasted those first 2 years, it took me 5 1/2 to get my degree. But....WOW that sounds great to college kids so I'm sure a heck of a lot of them just LOVE Bernie.
  9. I started this yesterday and go through three games and said screw it. I looked at all the plays over 35 yards against BYU, USA and Miami. 12 plays over 35 and only 2 of them were runs. I'm guessing that ratio was similar all year. If we can get the pass defense greatly improved and cutting down on these huge gains multiple times every game and if we can do it without putting 5-6 DBs in the game, this should help the rush defense on the yards per carry stat. Also, if we have D linemen that can get in the back field and cause havoc on pass plays, that also works some on run plays too. Have more tackles for loss and your yards per carry go down. Last year our defense was bad. No question about it. However, the defense all is tied together and good improvement in one area (without selling out to do it) helps other areas improve too.
  10. The breathalyzer you used is call a Preliminary Breath Test machine or "PBT" for short. PBT's are nowhere near 100% accurate and law enforcement use them as probable cause to further their investigation. PBT's show the presence of breathe alcohol and attempt to measure the level of that. If you get arrested and then get taken back to the local PD or Sheriff's Office then you will most likely be asked to blow into an intoxalyzer machine, which actually uses the deep lung air to measure your blood alcohol level which is where the .08 or greater equals DUI comes into play. Correct and you are not supposed to have drank anything or had anything in your mouth for at least 15 minutes before you take a PBT. Question--does Nebraska allow for you to refuse the breathalyzer and submit to a (considerably more accurate, per my understanding) blood test? Yes, you can refuse the breath test and demand a blood test. This also gives your body more time to maybe lose some of the blood alcohol. Sometimes it may take an hour for them to find someone to draw your blood. By that time, you may have dropped a little. That can work the opposite way too. Sometimes time passing allows the alcohol to enter your blood, and therefore drives the bac up. Really depends on when you stop drinking. Typically, at least in California and several other states, refusing any form of sobriety test results in an administrative 1-year suspension of your license, even if not convicted of a dui. True. It typically takes 45 minutes for alcohol to get fully absorbed into the blood stream once it is consumed.
  11. Kearney Catholic voted out of LouPlatte conference I know of one other conference they asked to join and that conference did not allow them in.
  12. Sounds like a winning strategy to me. Here's another one: When the car you are pounding liquor in slips off into the Loup Canal* and you are stuck in the middle of the front seat with the two guys by either door very drunk and panicking, wait for the water to fill up the car most of the way. Then, brace your back against the seat and push on the windshield with both feet, and it will probably pop out. Take a deep breath of the rapidly disappearing air, kick out of the car, and with a few good strokes you will get out, up, and over to shore. Walk to the farmhouse, have them call the sheriff and then show them where to find the car and your two friends. That worked for one guy I knew*... ...or there is that "Don't drink and drive." thing that they always talk about. Yeah, it's not football, but even in Nebraska, some things are more important than Husker football. *Not to be confused with the other multiple drowning in the Loup Canal where the three boys made it out and the three girls drowned. I forgot about these two cases. I did not imply anyone should drink and drive. The question was asked and I answered it. Obviously nobody should drink and drive and threaten others.

  14. This is a very important quote from the article. You cut down on those drastically and the rest of the statistical all look better.
  15. Ziggy is all we got.....we are woefully thin at RB for the first time in quite awhile. No.
  16. Adding the TE reverse after Michigan State ran it against us worked pretty well.That's putting in one play. It's not a complete overhaul of the offense. I don't want s complete overhaul and we don't need one.
  17. My son can attest that I was yelling that exact same thing at the TV when the guy was pinned in the corner. Instead he tries throwing it at the defenders feet.
  18. Well Oregon is showing how to play without a dominant big.
  19. Total melt down in 40 seconds.
  20. Ok. Ignore this post. Wow. What horrible end to regulation. Pathetic basketball by UNI.
  21. UNI game would have been over an hour ago if they didn't have to review the clock every 30 seconds
