  1. It is fascinating how it has been months since anyone has brought up Benghazi or email servers. These were unbelievably meaningful issues just a short while ago. Makes you think.

      It was "Hillary's turn," and the Democrats weren't going to let anyone else have a shot. That's entirely on the Democrat party.

      Throwing a few things and having 5000 people in a small area booing and constantly disrupting the broadcast are two different things.

      Who cares where the SECPN goes to do gameday. Huskers can't win big games anyway, so not much to worry about. Start winning, and they have to deal with us. Otherwise, who gives a sh*t.

  3. Trump is tweeting how "unfair" the protests are. Maybe Mama Trump will come out to the porch of Trump Tower to tell the protesters to stop picking on Little Donny. #SAD

      In all honesty, I can't say I'm a fan of aggressive ridicule. I love the anger, but not the stooping to his level.

       

      @120889, I agree both with Tom's criticism of the second tweet and think the first one revealed quite enough.

      I've never heard anyone getting triggered over the word conservative, I think that one is okay.

      Coke most of the time and especially with rum. Pepsi once in awhile.

       

      @BIG ERN I cannot stand MacDonald's coke. Really. That stuff is awful. Too much syrup, not enough carbonation. It's always flat and too sweet. I like to imagine that the genius that came up with "new coke" had something to do with Mickey D's and they forever got stuck with the bad stuff.

      kid because I really care. I am giving Trump the benefit of the doubt. The problem is, since being elected, his decisions, disseminating of misinformation, and ridiculous obsession with culture war and baiting the media give me those doubts.

      So, cut the fat like UNO did with football and wrestling? Well, those are terrible examples as both were champion caliber programs.

       

      I guess the real problem is how much fan support and ink the basketball program gets. Maybe we should forget about basketball, and talk more about wrestling. I do that now anyway, just need some other fans from Husker Nation to get on board.

    3. zoogs

      zoogs

      Oh, I don't mean cut the fat. The analogy is more of like...I think it's cute when Oregon State fans talk about their program "stagnating" under Riley, for example. You're Oregon State, chaps. Be happy to make a darn bowl. Don't fire Gary Anderson if he doesn't consistently make the Top 25 in his first five or six seasons, etc.

       

      Or the USMNT. Great, we fired Klinsmann and took it out on Honduras. But you know what, it's still going to be US soccer unt...

    4. zoogs

      ...il something fundamentally changes and that takes time. So be thankful when you have a coach with the right demeanor and vision. Maybe give him more time at the helm. Like Iowa and the unfireable Kirk Ferentz.

      Lidia's wasn't available, but my wife and I definitely need to go in the near future. Since it was rainy that morning, I decided to cook breakfast at home (as I like to cook anyway). After the rain dampened down, we went out that afternoon/evening to celebrate.

      Well, glad to hear you had a nice time. Do give Lidia’s a try. I try to go there when I get to KC. I’m from Missouri. My daughter lives there and knows about all of the nice eating places. Westport has some nice places to eat as well.

      The dude is an odd ball for sure but I don't understand why people don't think he is a good coach. If he can turn Stanford and the 49ers into good teams, I don't see why he can't turn Michigan into a good team as well. Just get over the fact that Michigan hired a better coach than Nebraska.
