I think Reagan would fit in just fine in today's GOP.

Talent.

Turner didn't attend in1983?

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.

"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.

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.

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.

Saw this article today, and thought I'd bump this thread. http://journalstar.com/news/local/911/judge-pair-wrongfully-accused-of-murders-should-get-m/article_076d0728-4039-5c44-9cfd-1ce09e66615c.html Interesting article about two people wrongly convicted of murder. This is where I'm stuck on the death penalty. I can't say that I wouldn't mind if a few particularly heinous individuals were put to death... But then there's something like this. What if these guys had been put to death and they were completely innocent?

Actually it is completely different. They voted on Bork and he was rejected. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Bork_Supreme_Court_nomination Merrick Garland is being denied the opportunity to even be voted on. You clearly cannot discern the difference.

As they had a constitutional right to do so, I dont see the problem here? There's a difference between confirming a nomination and not even allowing the nominee to have a chance to be confirmed. It's not governance, nor how it is intended to work. If you don't see the problem in choosing not to do your job, then that says plenty. The GOP has played obstruction politics for years now and then use the lack of progress as "evidence" that the other side is incompetent. They're not producing new ideas, strategies or policies to help make things better. The Dems haven't been perfect by any stretch, but in my opinion, trying to improve things is a helluva lot better than saying "everything sucks" and actively working against any kind of progress. It's like doing a three legged race with someone who chooses to not to cooperate, lays down, trips you at any given opportunity and then they whine and blame you for not getting very far in the race.

Agree on Frank except for the rumored character issues. Pelini was/is a good coordinator. I don't like to think what might have been with Solich as HC and Pelini as DC for a few years. If they increased their recruiting profile, the program still had an elite image to return to elite status on the field. I think that recruiting was Frank's and his staff's biggest downfall. All coaches but one had 11+ years with the program and I think they all got a bit satiated and thought they would always be able to reload.

Has it ever been verified what the hangup has been with Frost? I recall hearing somewhere that he got into it pretty badly with TO after the 96 ASU game. I also recall hearing that he was interviewed or at least contacted when Bo was here for OC. Apparently he wanted Head Coach in waiting status and Bo wasn't having it. Again, that's all hearsay, no way to truly verify it. Can anyone shed any light on the Frost-NU relationship? TO and frost are on great terms. I think the timing was wrong in '10, but I question whether that convo ever happened. What is benning and frosts relationship? Does benning like frost as a coach? I wonder what he thinks of frost considering timing of their time in the program and Bennings relationship with LP. I think benning often lets his personal feelings and need to be perceived as having "inside information" influence how he reports. This sort of unsubstantiated public claim is just one example of many. I kind of assumed he and TO were on good terms. I just recall hearing that after the 96 ASU game, it was relatively volatile. I also am curious as to Damon's true opinion/relationship is of Frost. Damon and LP were very tight and it wouldn't shock me if he viewed or blamed Frost as a catalyst for LP's behavior. I recall hearing that there were plenty of other players who had a strong distaste for Frost and they took it out on him in practice at any available opportunity. All that aside, I can't say I wouldn't be intrigued with Frost returning to NU someday. The idea of a triangle of hate with Frost, Harbaugh and Meyer is just too good to pass up.

Again, that's all hearsay, no way to truly verify it. Can anyone shed any light on the Frost-NU relationship? No. It's all vague, shadowy rumors, countered by plenty of people that know Scott or worked with/around him that have explained he still looks at Nebraska as his dream job. Seems kind of silly to me that people think he might let some sour grapes from when he was a kid linger for 20+ years towards his alma mater and home state. I'm not sure sour grapes really plays into this. When Frost was in high school and being recruited, he was looking towards his future when he chose Stanford over Nebraska. I've never really ever understood why some/a lot of fans were so butthurt over this. Given the same situation, how many people would have chosen playing at Nebraska in a power run offense over going to Stanford and playing in a west coast offense for a coach who won three Super Bowls? The only reason Frost ended up at Nebraska was because Walsh quit/retired at Stanford. There is little doubt in my mind that Frost will approach his coaching career in the same manner. It will be very situational. If the Nebraska job comes open and it's the best available job, I think he'll take it. If the Nebraska job comes open and there's another better available job, he'll take the better job. In todays day and age, I don't think dream jobs really matter that much. Urban Meyer once said that the Notre Dame job was his dream job. Yet when offered, he chose Florida. Can anyone honestly say they blame him? I don't think anyone should blame Frost either if/when he doesn't choose the Nebraska job. I agree. And not to mention, having a degree from Stanford doesn't hurt either. I'm all for individuals doing what's best for them and their families. I think you're right too, if Frost were to ever be approached by big time programs, I think he would make the most pragmatic decision.

I think that 2004 was definitely wrong time to hire/fire. I recall that interview with Harvey Perlman where he stated that an NFL Head Coach was lined up to take the job after Frank got axed, but ended up getting cold feet and stayed in the NFL. I know some folks thought he was just blowing smoke, however I believe him. That search took around 40 days. That only happens when you're flat footed and have no idea what to do and you'll settle on whoever you can. Riley was hired in what, 4 or 5 days? There was a plan that was followed through on. http://www.omaha.com/huskers/outgoing-unl-chancellor-harvey-perlman-leaves-with-unmet-goal-huskers/article_1e710d39-c435-5f72-a994-9562f257b619.html

IIRC Newby was the #1 rated RB out of Cali, and Adam Taylor was the #1 rated back out of Texas. I remember thinking that they were going to light the world on fire. Newby at least contributed some meaningful snaps, however I'd say his career was overall a letdown. What happened to Taylor though? Injury bug? Transfer?

Hillary was the single worst Presidential candidate the Dems have run (she lost twice after her husband won twice btw) since Humphrey. Carter's second run was a disaster but no Dem could have won that one after the disasterous first term Carter delivered. The Democrat party needs a rebuild but it is NOT the names or faces at the top that is the fundamental problem of course. It is the radical leftist ideology that the party espouses which is just not supported by anything close to a majority of the American people. Even though Hillary may have received a few more popular votes than Trump, she only did so because Trump made the correct strategic decision NOT to campaign in California, Oregon and Washington. Had he made some efforts out there, he would easily have picked up 5 to 8% more of the popular vote. While not winning the electoral votes of those states, he would have swung several million votes and had a popular vote win of a couple million votes. The Democrats have been losing steadily in popularity across the country for decades - this is a long term trend. Evidence is the domination of the Republicans in House, Senate, Presidency, Governorships, state legislative bodies, Mayors, etc. I would submit the Dems have fully lost touch with the great mass of American society that simply does not agree with the radical, socialist agendas being pushed so incredibly hard. To 'rebuild' is not the correct term really. I would suggest perhaps more appropriate would be to 'redirect' and replace the radical agenda with something much more moderate and mainstream. The gap between the two major parties is as wide as it has ever been, despite the Republican party moving to left while the Democrats have moved far left. Today's Republican party is generally about as liberal/left leaning as the Democrat party of Kennedy/Johnson. Today's Tea Party/Conservatives are pretty much in line with the traditional Republican party of the 1960s through 1980s. The mistake the Republicans have made (if one were to consider such) is to veer left. America is more moderate/libertarian and middle of the road that it once was. But it is NOT 'progressive' or socialist and not communist despite the wishes of many of the party's leadership. Dems have been hijacked by the radicals of the 60s. Which party has the fervent support of the KKK and Neo Nazi's again? 2 Million is a few more? That's hearsay. You have no way of verifying that. You don't think gerrymandering or closing nearly a thousand polling places has anything to do with those wins? You're joking right?

They don't hold either house and have very few governors and state legislatures. The republicans ran an absolute pathetic human being as a candidate and they couldn't beat him. They won very very few counties compared to republicans meaning their message this campaign didn't resonate with anyone that lives outside major metro areas. What do you think???? #headinsand It's easy to win elections when you suppress votes and constantly gerrymander districts https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-power-that-gerrymandering-has-brought-to-republicans/2016/06/17/045264ae-2903-11e6-ae4a-3cdd5fe74204_story.html?utm_term=.26be82b1a8c9 https://www.thenation.com/article/there-are-868-fewer-places-to-vote-in-2016-because-the-supreme-court-gutted-the-voting-rights-act/ I'm not going to defend republicans on either of those. But....those aren't why she lost. Those weren't directed at Hillary's loss. They were directed at the other elections that the GOP has won.

Rebuild? I don't know. As a whole I think the party is pretty unified. I think they just need to nominate better candidates. Hillary was an easily attackable candidate with a devastating amount of baggage. She was the Dems Jeb Bush.

1. Michigan St. NU is 3-2 since joining the B1G and has beaten MSU twice while they were ranked top ten. I think this could/should develop into a bitter rivalry. The seeds for that have been planted. 2. Northwestern. NU is 4-2 since joining the B1G. Most games have been close. Field goal and last second finishes. Not the rivalry that I would want personally, however, the series has been relatively even and the games have been close and exciting. 3. Minnesota. NU is 4-2 since joining the B1G. Minnesota has been coming around, they're getting better. I could see them being a Mizzou-esque team/rivalry. 4. Iowa. NU is currently 3-2 since joining the B1G. We'll see how it goes this week. I think had NU won last year, it would have added some fuel to the rivalry fire. I don't see Iowa as a rival. I don't get the hate. It seems so feigned and forced to me. To me, a rival to NU should be a name brand storied program. Iowa is not that. Seeing them as a rival, means we bring ourselves down to their level. Why force a "border war" with a program that hasn't won anything ever? How does that make NU better? 5. Wisconsin. NU is 1-5 since joining the B1G. This is not a rivalry... yet. I want this to become a rivalry in the worst way. Wisconsin. Nebraska. Big Red Vs Big Red. Wisconsin is a program that I would want to call a rival. They have top ten teams, they have Rose Bowls, they have conference titles, they have NFL talent. They are a program that we would want to try and hold ourselves up to.

These are the results you get from years of one party promoting anti-intellectualism and being anti education/science.

DeAndre Levy, former UW player and current Detroit Lion recently stated that the highlight of his career was breaking Joe Pa's leg. http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2016/11/17/13666220/deandre-levy-joe-paterno-broken-leg Some Penn Staters fired back "We find the recent statement by DeAndre Levy about Coach Paterno appalling, along with the silence that has accompanied it," a statement from former Penn State players said in the Detroit Free Press. "To joyfully and proudly take credit for hurting a defenseless human being is sad, in and of itself." http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18115641/former-penn-state-nittany-lions-players-upset-deandre-levy-comments-joe-paterno Lordy. Penn Staters never cease to amaze me.
