  1. Harbaugh to Rams rumors FWIW http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/jim-harbaugh-leaving-michigan-for-the-rams-is-reportedly-a-very-real-possibility/
  2. Was perusing YouTube last night and came across the song "Stand By Me" performed by Incubus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LXqRKMAHus Thought it was a pretty cool cover. It reminded me of "Last Kiss" by Pearl Jam and "Teenager in Love" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4447lT5GQOk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nm1s2y2SYU I love it when bands cover songs like this. Anyone know of other oldies songs performed by modern bands/artists?
  3. This is the world we live in. The President Elect makes time for a reality TV show but not Intelligence Briefings. Let's see the gymnastics to defend this one.
  4. Every year on Thanksgiving night I watch The Godfather, and then on Christmas Night I watch Godfather Part II.
  5. Your referring to the pro Tim Tebow correct? I would give my left nut for a QB that completed 67 percent of his passes with a 6/1 touchdown to interception ratio in college. Maybe both nuts if he could run for 6-800 yards a season also. Lol All jokes aside Eichorst went out and got opposite of Pelini went it comes to sideline etiquette and dealing with the media. It's great HCMR is a "good guy" but frankly I don't care. Away from the media and off the TV screen Pelini was a good guy also. 4 maybe 5 years....that's what I give HCMR. Like i said things seems to be trending up with this year. I love the direction recruiting is going and we did meet expectations with the W/L ratio. You would castrate yourself to have Tebow as a Quarterback?
  6. Good lord. It was just good-natured ribbing. The fact so many have to earnestly defend NU's dominance over Iowa is actually a bit embarrassing. Have a laugh and move on. Relax.
  7. Seems reminiscent of the Zadroga Act.
  8. He could announce "I'm cancelling all future elections" and half the country would be down for the cause.
  9. Constantly referencing how good of a guy Riley is seems reminiscent of Tebow. Every pundit always had to say "He's a heckuva guy" before they go in on how terrible of a QB he was. I'm not one way or another yet about Riley. My biggest hope is that he shores up the recruiting to consistent top 15 classes. If he doesn't do that and continues with 9-4 or 10-3 seasons then he can beat feet just like Frank, Bill and Bo.
  10. Then don't watch. Good one. Do you think differently? Has this team or coaching staff shown you something this season that would make you think that this game wouldn't be rough?
  11. Until "He consistently gets top 15 recruiting classes" is on that list, him being a good guy and doing dishes and taking out trash doesn't really rev my engine.
  12. Interesting point. I definitely thought the Wisconsin "No Sit" game was a turning point in the basketball program. Certainly wasn't. Miles should have this thing rolling right now. 5 years with state of the art facilities, a brand new arena, more money and emphasis than ever before, a fan base that is chomping at the bit for success. He's not the dude. Get him out, and pony up for a legitimate big time coach for a change. I'm willing to give Riley more time simply because a football program is so big. It takes time to recruit dozens of players and develop them, install a new offense and a new defense. Not to mention that the situation he walked into was relatively toxic.
  13. Few things, in my opinion. Abolishing the Fairness Doctrine Cutting funding for education Development of an individualistic society Getting rid of policy requiring honest reporting on public matters, combined with a poorly educated populace, combined with a society that values individualistic characteristics that largely seek "affirmation" for their feelings and thoughts and not "information" about whether those thoughts and feelings are accurate or factual... anti-intellectualism is what you get.
  14. 5 years in and it's the same old song and dance. Unless this team somehow puts it together and can make a run for an NCAA bid, Tim needs to go. He's had more resources than any other NU coach, yet the product is still the same.
  15. I think Reagan would fit in just fine in today's GOP.
  16. Turner didn't attend in1983?
  17. Have Election Day be a holiday so everyone has an opportunity to vote. Reopen the 800+ polling places that were closed after the gutting of the Voting Rights Act.
  18. "President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob. There are good, decent men and women who go out and work hard every day and put their skills to test that aren't taught by some liberal college professor that tries to indoctrinate them." - Rick Santorum "As people do better, they start voting like Republicans - unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing." - Karl Rove “We have a president, who I think is a nice guy, but he spent too much time at Harvard, perhaps.” - Mitt Romney Yes. Education is the true enemy.
  19. We have to be careful to disinguish between 'fake' news which is basically published 'stories' based on manufactured data or fictional sources and or information that is wholly invented and the misuse of real data to deceive or mislead the reader or consumer. Liberals are doing both of these but the rampant use of the 'fake' news stories has reached near 'bibilical' proportions. Articles and news reports which are based or premised upon 'facts and or circumstances' which are simply untrue and pure fiction are quite commonplace and have been for the past 20 years amongst liberal 'news' organizations or outlets. The rise of the internet and web sources has spread this feux news (propaganda) to heretofore never dreamed of levels. It has gone far beyond 'spin' and cherry picking of certain facts amongs a bunch of them. Liberals rarely have facts on their side so they have realized they can't win debates or serious arguments without some rational basis. If you don't have the facts, make them up! That is the liberal modus operandi. Their schemes have been seen through now and credibility is lost. Very unlikely they will ever get it back UNLESS they cease and desist in the propaganda and get real and admit the truth - an 'inconvenient truth' has been exposed as the 'invented lie' it always was. Can you give some specific examples? Yeah. I'd love to see some examples of this as well.
  20. Anyone that is still against when they hear about this is fooling themselves. If this, any of it, happened to someone you loved you would want them dead. Of course we would feel that way. Who wouldn't? However, the point I was making has to do with the article I provided. It showed that two men were framed and convicted wrongfully. What if they were put to death and they were someone you loved? What then in that case? It would suck. What if they filmed themselves slicing your mom up...so you could see for sure it was them... *sigh* Mmmk. So much for trying to ignite constructive discourse.
