  1. Maybe it's just me, but I have heard very little Gerry bashing.
  2. See this is where I take issue with lots of Pro Lifers. Many (not saying you specifically, but many) Pro Lifers profess to be all about caring for the "ones who can't protect themselves" and that "every life is sacred." That's all well and good for a zygote, however when it comes to other issues concerning life and well being, Pro Lifers are often times anti universal healthcare, anti common sense gun control laws, pro war, anti public assistance programs which largely benefit children, the disabled and the elderly, anti regulation, and against Environmental Protection laws. You claim to be on the fence about this election because of your stance on abortion. Trump has often times questioned why other countries don't have and use nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons. That is literally the most deadly force the world has ever seen. But your biggest concern is someone's private choice to take the Plan B pill? You're genuinely considering someone who encourages use of the deadliest weapons on earth, but might vote for him because he is against abortion? That does not compute with me. I can very much appreciate someone's stance against abortion. Don't get me wrong. It's certainly not a fun topic. But abortion isn't going to matter a whole lot when Nukes are being launched across the globe. That is a big generalization, I don't think gun control has anything to do with abortion or killing. Take em away, people will still find ways to get them and kill people, its just how it is. Also, where are these "pro war" claims you get, was it President Bush's decision that all of a sudden speaks for every pro life person? Only congress can declared war not Trump, that is also something a lot of people forget about. Bush declared war with the approval of Congress, if Trump wanted to just attack some country because he has the power, congress has to approve it. The last thing before I get back on topic is abortion is taking away someones chance of life liberty and pursuit of happiness. I am voting Trump because he is pro-life, pro America, he isn't a globalist which is really good. The UN has tried to pass laws to limit our freedom actually, can't remember what they are called exactly but it limits how much water or electricity one can use, not a bad idea but that is an example of taking away a little bit of freedom. I think his trade deals will help us get money back and force other countries to pay tariffs like the US does. Also make companies that leave the country pay a fine is a good idea or a leaving fee can't remember exactly. Regardless that's a good way to keep companies and jobs in the US. Only way I don't vote for him is if he changes his stances on immigration, abortion or he says he won't fight for the people- so basically it would be hard for me to change my mind. Gun control has nothing to do with killing? 30,000 deaths a year from guns. If it were anything else causing that amount of deaths per year, it would certainly be addressed. But using your logic of "take guns away, people will still get them" one could argue that "making abortion illegal won't matter because people will still do it" Many Pro Lifers tend to be Republican, and many Republicans are very pro war. Cheney, Kristol, McCain, Graham etc. I was talking about having Pro War attitudes, not necessarily declaring war. You say Trump is Pro Life? Wanting to use nuclear weapons more often does not sound Pro Life to me. Also, this is how Trump treated family members health care coverage. I wonder how much he would truly care about the average joe. http://www.newyorker.com/news/john-cassidy/what-sort-of-man-is-donald-trump "Even when it comes to a sick baby in his family, Donald Trump is all business. The megabuilder and his siblings Robert and Maryanne terminated their nephew’s family medical coverage a week after he challenged the will of their father, Fred Trump. “This was so shocking, so disappointing and so vindictive,” said niece Lisa Trump, whose son, William, was born 18 months ago at Mount Sinai Medical Center with a rare neurological disorder that produces violent seizures, brain damage and medical bills topping $300,000." Doesn't sound very Pro Life to me. Companies that leave the US? Like ... the companies that make Donald Trump Signature ties? Those kinds of companies? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CHoYbfOWwAE2eCO.jpg
  3. In an election like this, I'll take someone who's already been in the White House for 8 years, been a Senator and been Secretary of State. That experience matters. I think Ted Cruz is one of the most repugnant humans alive, but I would not hesitate in picking him over Trump as well. I am not a fan of Hillary at all. But when you only have 2 choices... I'd begrudgingly go with her for 4 years, and hope for a much better choice in 2020.

  5. This seems like symbolic justice to me, more than anything. Getting the right to sue the government of a country we think had something to do with 9/11? Could family members of innocent Iraqi civilians killed during the Iraq war sue the US government under the same precedence?
  6. Nebraska will be back when a conference title is won.
  7. We have talked to a bunch of your former teammates and we have yet to hear anybody say a good word about you. That is painful...even to us...and we are just two guys with a podcast. Why don't you come onto our show next week and set the record straight? The fact that you thought a guy on a message board named "Touchdown Tommie" was actually Tommie Frazier is enough for me to know that I will never ever need to listen to your podcast. Ever.
  8. WTF??? NFL has a partnership with Nike right now. Yeezy cleats are Adidas. That'd be my guess
  9. Not sure if it was mentioned, but Watering Hole would be a great place for some wings. It's on O St. I'm partial to the boneless garlic parm. The old bay with jalapeno is also a solid choice.
  10. Golfing - Personally, I'm partial to Wilderness ridge but Pioneers is also a fun spot. Bar/Nightlife - O St is the college crowd. It can be fun if that's the vibe you're looking for. If not, Railyard/Haymarket would be a much better choice. My favorite bars in the Railyard/Haymarket area are Tavern on the Square, Barry's (Their rooftop is pretty cool), McKinney's and Gate 25. Rule G is supposed to be a "club." It can be fun if you're in the mood for it. Duffy's is on O St. It's a fun spot. Get a Fish Bowl. You'll likely hear someone make a reference to when Nirvana played there. Brass Rail is also on O St. It's a Lincoln main stay. It's trashy fun. Food -Misty's and Lazlo's are my favorite spots. Good food. Fun atmosphere. Tailgating -Underpass is fun. Pinnacle Bank Arena parking lot isn't bad. Good place to wander around make friends. Be sure to buy some beads from lil kids raising money for their baseball or volleyball team.
  11. Personally I would prefer bigger name opponents being scheduled. Don't necessarily need to play Alabama every year, but it would definitely be more fun as a fan to have more P5 schools coming through. Even a neutral game at Arrowhead or something would be fun.
  12. The red and white flashing lights in the hallway was a new touch. Personally I prefer the "epic" ones. But it just seems like no one is ever happy. Always have to complain about something. Just enjoy it as a 2 min hype up vid for the game and move on. Yeesh.
  13. Agreed. It looks painfully pieced together.
  14. What about the woman and her hour of need? Yeah it was a horrible thing that happened. No one's arguing that. Maybe if Frost wasn't hiding in the closet while it all went down, he could've come to her aid. The point I was making was about criticisms of TO and how he's damned one way or another, no matter what he does. But if you want to change the topic that's fine too. Sure. Blame Frost. Nice deflection. I didn't blame Frost for anything. LP's actions were LP's actions. But again, if you want to talk about TO's handling of LP, cool, I'll talk that all day. If you want to change the subject each time, more power to you.

  16. The people who criticize TO for the handling of the LP situation never cease to amaze me. They will likely never have to handle a situation of that magnitude in their life, but hide behind their keyboard and fearlessly proclaim what others should or shouldn't have done. In situations like that, there is no winner. It's bad all the way around. TO kicks him off the team for his transgressions the narrative would be "He abandoned a young man in an hour of need! How dare he kick him to the curb!" TO keeps him on the team with the idea of structure and discipline will help provide stability in his troubled life and the narrative is "He has no integrity! He's win at all cost!"
  17. I think Bahe's a fun listen. Personally I always thought Mike Welch was the biggest tool on local radio. Glad he's gone.
  18. In this Thread are many answers, so I ask here : D I'm from Germany and not a troll. So do you know where I can buy the sweater? E-Bay
  19. Pretty neat little article given the 50th anniversary. http://www.kansascity.com/2013/11/21/4639838/after-his-brother-died-bobby-kennedy.html
  20. "Whoever doesn't start at QB next year (TA or JS) is going to transfer. TA is the next Cody Green. Stanton is Tebow 2.0" I don't believe that TA is the next Cody Green, nor do I believe that Stanton is Tebow 2.0... But I am very curious to see how their QB battle next year plays out, and would not be shocked to see one of them transfer. If TA gets the start, why would Stanton want to wait around and maybe start for one season? If TA gets beat by Stanton after stepping in this season and guiding us to a couple victories (Who knows, he could very well take DONU to the Big Ten title game and a possible backdoor shot at playing in the Rose Bowl) how well would he take that? QB will be a very interesting position to watch the next couple years.
