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.
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?

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.

That's a weirdly-worded headline. When I first read it I thought the Dems were obstructing the bill because they didn't want to provide aid for the miners.
It's actually exactly the opposite:
But the bill stalled in the Senate as Democrats facing re-election in 2018, including West Virginia's Joe Manchin, Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, fought for a one-year extension for the miners' health benefits rather than the temporary, four-month fix in the bill.Manchin called the GOP proposal to temporarily extend health care benefits for about 16,500 retired union coal miners "horrendous" and "inhumane" and accused lawmakers of turning their backs on people who built the country and made it great.
While Democrats do not want to shut down the government, they're willing to do so to protect the miners, Manchin said. "You've got to stand for something or surely to God you'll stand for nothing," he said.
Democrats called on Trump to uphold a campaign promise to help coal miners by persuading Republican leaders to adopt a broader bill that would protect health care and pension benefits for the next decade. The Republican-controlled Senate Finance Committee approved the $3 billion bill in September, but the measure has stalled in the full Senate.
Seems reminiscent of the Zadroga Act.

Hillary lost the election because people don't like her.
Fake news is a bad thing for America because people aren't discerning enough to see the difference between propaganda and facts.
These are not the same conversation.
This.

No lesson will be learned from this no matter how bad things get.
Trump's sheep ignored or believed every lie he told. Why would they not believe his lies 4 years from now, e.g.:
"It isn't my fault we nuked New Zealand in 2018. I didn't physically launch/drop it myself. The person who did it should've understood I was speaking figuritively."
His sheep will just be convinced to blame someone else. Like the Mexicans.
He could announce "I'm cancelling all future elections" and half the country would be down for the cause.

This is gonna be rough
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?

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.

I also find it interesting to compare the basketball and football programs right now.
It seems to me like both coaches have largely underwhelming results that are being somewhat overlooked by one really exciting game - basketball beating Wisconsin on No Sit Saturday and the football team beating Michigan State last year. Those were both really good wins but they seem to be somewhat obscuring the far bigger picture of relatively poor performances in many other games. If we hadn't found a way to win those individual games, I think most people's outlook would be significantly different. Which means that too much importance is being placed on one game.
For Riley, there is a lot of "he needs more time to get his players and (hopefully) upgrade talent." And that is true to a large extent. But we've been hearing the same thing about Miles. And he's now in year five. There is still a lot of "this is a young (basketball) team - we need to let these sophomores develop and see where we are." But these ARE ALL Miles' players. The reason we're having to rely on Sophomores at this point is because he was a failure at recruiting for about three years. And this despite all the talk - all along - about how much better recruiting was going.
If Miles' is given two more years for these Sophomores to become Seniors, that will be seven years. So I think the "he needs more time" argument is not really holding water. And that makes me wonder about the "more time" argument on the other side.
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.

Anyone have a guess on what happened?
Like... how did we go from trying to move society forward by being learned to suddenly fighting back against it like knowledge is the boogie man?
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.

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.

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.

I understand from a source close to the situation that during this long redshirt period, the S&C people have had Tanner in the all new, one-of-a-kind 'speed' room. This is an unique new training/development process through the application of the "NUbionics" technology. With special 'speed' gear, they can now improve a player's speed metrics about 20% typically. For example, a QB like Lee came in to Nebraska running about 4.9 - 40 yard dash. But with our new leggings, he now boasts a personal best of 4.47 on a series of 10 reps in 10 minutes, demonstrating he has not only dramatically increased his speed and quickness but also his endurance. Sadly, thus far Tanner has suffered from major immunity rejection and blood clots tendency in the back of his knees and deep thigh bruises. Pain killing medications are being administered and so far no allergic or other negative responses. The technitions are now testing to determine Lee's ability to function at a high enough level mentally while under the continuous influence of medications to stave off the immune system issues and alleviate the pain. His tolerance is reported to be improving weekly. It is not yet clear if Tanner will be able to utilize both the speed leggings and the 'gunslinger' arm builders. If not, Riley and the staff will be faced with a real Hobson's choice come spring practice (runner or passer?). Time will tell.

"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.

Some "Facts" are to politicians (and their supporters) what numbers are to accountants - they can tell whatever story the 'holder' of those facts/numbers want them to say.
We are told to 'check the facts' but what site is free of bias? What facts are left out in telling the story? Most of us don't have the time to do a college thesis to get down to the bottom of the story.
Of course their are obvious facts - up is up and down is down, gravity works, my hair is black with gray (too much). Kind of hard to manipulate those facts. But many other 'facts' are manipulated by what is 'left on the cutting room floor'. We have to be honest, each of our most cherished conservative/liberal sites have biases.
Sometimes I come wt 'my' facts. Knapp normally tells me I'm wrong
. So then I reconsider if he provided good info. So guys - don't shut each other out - learn. I'm trying to gain from your perspectives as well. Sometimes I'm hard headed and it takes a while and some times I have an 'ah ah' moment 
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.

Seeing a trial end yesterday about two men who first attempted to rob a family, then ended up raping the wife, and young (11 I think) daughter, finished them off by pouring gas on them lighting them on fire while tied to their beds. They found the 11 y/o away from her bed. I guess the ropes had burnt off before she died, and tried to escape.
Today I read about the Elizabeth Smart trial. Nine months in servitude being raped by a man who told her if she spoke out he would kill her and her family. S spent weeks chains to trees being raped daily, with only a pale for relief, and the only place to sleep was in a tent next to her abductor.
In my opinion all three of these men (and possibly the complacent wife w/the Smart case) should be put to death. It is about justice, not deterrence. I dont care how much it costs to bring about justice, I want to make damn sure they are guilty (in the these examples there is NO doubt), and when that is proven they will die. Prison is not punishment enough for them, they are granted there rights, even though they have taken the ultimate right of another to live (or in the case of Smart, her childhood, and more than likely, any chance at a normal life).
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.
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?

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.
