Our offense played poorly and still beat Purdue by 7 points more than Michigan State did. All of our goals are still in front of us.

I don't think we will lose 4, but it's certainly possible. Lose 2 of the three to Wisc., Minn and Iowa, then the bowl game and we're at 4 losses.

The 12% is all the win probabilities multiplied together. I think we would need a lot of help, as we would probably be seen as one of the worse of the 1 loss teams.

If A+=all american/Heisman candidate A=first team all-conference A-=second team all conference B+=all conference honorable mention B=Solid starter/potential to be much better (perhaps even great)/no risk of losing starting positon B-=Good, may win a championship with him/but he isn't the reason/little risk of losing starting position C=Average, would be nice to have a little more competition at the position D= not good, we'd better start looking for replacement F=I could play better (and I've never played football since the 7th grade.) I would give him a solid B

People who use the word irregardless. The correct word is regardless.

Here's Christ's answer to the OP's question. John 15:18-20 18 "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.

In 1978 (the first year Division 1 football was split into division 1 and 1-AA) there were 138 teams that played division 1. In 1982 the Ivy League, Southern Conference and Southland Conference switched to 1-AA leaving the total number of division 1 teams at 113. The number of Division 1 teams hit the low point in 1987 & 1988 with 104 teams playing division 1. The number has grown since then. 107 in 1990, 108 in 1995, 116 in 2000, 119 in 2005, 120 in 2010 and there will be 128 (125 full and 3 transitional) in 2014. Would it really be that bad if 20 FBS schools had to drop down to FCS and we ended up with roughly the same number of FBS teams we had in 1995?

I agree. My preference is that the schools would pay instead of the Federal Gov't. I don't think I would be a big fan of the school paying the "full cost of attendance" and still have the kids be able to get a Pell Grant. I also think the school should be able to factor into the full cost of attendance the travel expenses for parents to attend a couple of games to see their kids play.

If I am not mistaken, student-athletes with lesser means can still apply for Pell grants to cover the additional $3,422.

Landlord- Earlier in this thread you said you hoped to plant am evangelical church. Would same sex weddings be performed at this church?

It's only 'special' privilege because those groups are denied privilege.

It doesn't fit the narrative that many like to portray about people who are opposed to gay rights legislation. Eric deserves tons of credit and showed lots of class by wanting to point out that Ron Brown was not one of the coaches who made him feel uncomfortable.

This is actually an area where Pat Buchanon has always been at odds with the Republican party. I remember back in 1992 he challenged Bush 41 in the Republican primary when Bush was running for reelection. Pat's platform was about not outsourcing and buying American made products. He kept calling Bush "King George". He was actually doing pretty well, considering he was running in a primary against an incumbent. The New Hampshire Union-Leader even endorsed him. His momentum fell apart when Bush ran an add pointing out that Buchanan drove a Mercedes, not an American made car.(oops, how did he not see that coming)

Awesome read. Makes me proud to be a Husker fan.

Here is what I don't understand about you. Why does this bother you so much? If you believe gay people are sinners, in what way does that affect you? There so called sins are not your sins. So, why are pushing the issue? It's not your place to judge. Let it go. There are several reasons why this is important to me. First I believe that the nuclear (father/mother/child) family is the ideal building block for a society. Second, I do believe that the rise of gay rights comes at the expense of religious liberty. 3 examples out of many 1) earlier mentioned Christan Bakery. 2) Where I live a local church was forced to rent its parsonage to gay couple due to sexual oreintation ordinance 3) Catholic Charities no longer allowed to perform adoption services in several states because they won't adopt children out to gay couples. Third, spiritual. to proclaim the Gospel, one must first point out the law. The law shows us our sin, and the gospel saves us from the eternal consequences of the sin. However, if people do not see the sin, then they think they have no need for a savior. Fourth, personal (perhaps even selfish). My views and my heart haven't changed, however, while I was once seen as standing up for what is right, my view is now at times called bigoted. It saddens me to think of what my little girl will have to go through to stand up for her faith. I gauantee you that she is taught to be respectful of everyone, and to defend anyone who is being bullied, but my guess is that will not be reciprocated to her as she is bullied because of her beliefs. The bolded seems to fly in the face of your own personal methods - your reference to the gambling whoremongers is very telling. Either way, I think you are well intentioned. i do. But I also think you are being a bigot, and a bit ignorant and lacking sympathy for a people group. Even if you're not, you come across that way. Want to know a secret? Would it surprise you to learn I was a Christian? Not just a church-goer, but an outspoken, born-again, hoping-to-plant-a-church evangelical Christian? Maybe not maybe you've lurked around for a while. But it's true, and the regulars on here know it and know what I'm about. It might surprise you even more that I agree about the sinfulness of homosexuality! But I don't make a big or focused deal about it, because the issue of sin is so much bigger than sexual orientation in my decaying heart and in everyone else's, and also because Jesus didn't focus on particular sins nor make a big deal out of them, but he approached the heart of people with redemption, grace and encouragement. Anyways, the reason I ask is because I would bet you money that the majority of established posters on here would not describe me as a bigot or hateful, even though they know my stance and my sustaining faith. I would also bet the opposite of true of you. Chalk it up to whatever you will - hatred, ignorance, not being in touch, well-intentioned but misguided tactics/approach, whatever. I'm not claiming you to be a demon or lacking love, although it's possible. I'm saying that at the minimum, you are bearing witness to an abrasive, unattractive (not in the Christian self-fulfilling "Jesus said the world will hate me" kind of way; just an a-hole kind of way) gospel that doesn't seem to have any room left for redemption. My only point in getting into this was to defend coach brown. I probably haven't done that very well. I have no great desire to continue this. I will end it my participation by admitting that if the person who may share the closest world view to me thinks that I may be hate filled, lacking in love, ignorant, abrasive, and a demon; there is an outside chance that I did not spend my first 20 some posts on huskerboard putting my best foot forward.

Link, please. And enough with the victim complex. Christians aren't being persecuted in America. Stop. I didn't say persecuted, I said rights infringed upon, and gave you examples. I don't have a link, as I'm not sure it was in the paper. I know about it because it was the sister church to the one I attend. On a side note, I was just reading the thread about Fremont. I was raised in Fremont (lived there from 1966 unitl I graduated from Midland in 1988).

It's absolutely not a myth. there are people that stand out front of the student union and tell everyone they are sinners and going to hell. And there are also the LGBT groups that try to raise awareness for they're views. There are a good number of religious organizations and a far number of the "equal rights" organizations. Knap gave you a perfect example of how tolerant college is. College is overflowing with different view points and beliefs. If you're not forcing your views on anyone you will be overwhelmingly accepted. In my time at UNL I hung out with pot smokers, boozers (or college kids if you will), other drug users, hardcore Catholics, moderate Catholics, Bereans, Lutherans, Jews, Muslims, Atheist, and general "non believers". And you know what, we all get along pretty well and know how to have a good time. That doesn't mean we didn't have the occasional philosophical/religious discussions that could get pretty heated, but in the end you just have to agree to disagree. That doesn't mean you can't still be friends though. I meant to ask this as an honest question, not a statement.

An hour ago you hadn't mentioned the FRC. Although I don't think the FRC is a hate group, in fact I can't think of a single social position they take that wasn't the exact position of Tom Osborn while he was in congress, I don't need to use them as an example. I could have just as easily said the US Conf of Catholic Bishops, Heritage Foundation, or any other conservative organization. Also, I am not trying to do mental gymnastics, I am a guy in his late 40's who graduated from a small college 30 years ago who is truly curious as to what life might be like for his daughter at a public university. Quite honestly, I like the picture Zrod paints as opposed to your orwelian "all speech is free, some is just freer than others.

To use the power of govt to force christian businesses to do things against their faith (ie. Bake cakes for gay weddings, provide abortifacients in their health care policies) is a oppression.

Knapp-an hour ago you said you didn't view my ideas as hateful. Now you're calling them bigoted hatespeach. Forget to tske you bipolar meds?

Would you say, "Honey, you're my daughter and I love you, but you are a gambling, boozing whoremonger."?

So the idea of the University being a place where the free flow of ideas being encouraged is actually a myth. I don't mean running up to gay couples and calling them sinners. I mean more in academic conversations, or, if there is a forum for orginizations to have a booth, & PFLAG has a booth, is the Family Research Council welcome as well? Or if a group is circulating a petition supporting gay marriage, are people equally free to circulate petitions against gay marriage?

I have a daughter, so I'll use that as the example. I would tell her I love her and engaging in same sex relationships is not how God would want her to live her life. If she still chose to, I wouldn't stop loving her, but would not allow them to share the same bedroom in my home. This is exactly how we treat our older daughter who sleeps with her fiancé. When they come to our home for the holidays, it's different bedrooms for them. My question for you is, do you think my daughter would be as welcome as this kid was @ NU if her world view is the same as mine?
