Red Five

That's great that he is doing well in coverage, but I thought I have seen somewhere (Benning???) that Gerry missed some run fits that caused a few of the long runs we have seen (one vs Oregon and the Thorson run)

538 polls only and now cast have flipped Florida back to blue with some post debate polls rolling in.

Inside the numbers in the new Emerson Nebraska poll: In historically red Nebraska, Trump leads Clinton by 27 points, 56% to 29%, with Johnson at 7% and Stein at 1%. Nebraska is the second state Emerson has polled where Trump has a positive favorable/unfavorable ratio (50% to 45%). Clinton has a ‐37 deficit (30%/67%). In the Cornhusker state, Trump leads in Congressional Districts 1 and 3, by margins of 53% to 29% and 65% to 20%, respectively. However, in District 2 he only leads by 9 points, 49% to 40%. Could Nebraska's 3rd district be the largest Trump margin in the nation at +45?

I don't really think that this will be a distraction for the team. I think that it is more of a distraction for the fans (especially a certain subset).

This is our government in a nutshell. One senator casts dissenting vote to the override, but then as soon as it passes almost 30 other senators come out questioning it? WTF?

So what was the real "right thing" to do?

They're not on the field for the anthem. Who isn't? The players

I think that the committee has proven many times that they are independent thinkers compared to the AP/Coaches Polls. Last year Week 10 Rankings (1st week of CFP Poll) CFP / AP / Coaches 1 - Clemson / Ohio St / Ohio St 2 - LSU / Baylor / Baylor 3 - Ohio St / Clemson / TCU 4 - Alabama / LSU / LSU 5 - Notre Dame / TCU / Clemson 6 - Baylor / Mich St / Mich St 7 - Mich St / Alabama / Alabama 8 - TCU / Notre Dame / Stanford 9 - Iowa / Stanford / Notre Dame 10 -Florida / Iowa / Okalhoma St http://www.espn.com/college-football/rankings/_/seasontype/2/year/2015/week/10

For those hung up on Black Lives Matter, not once in MRI's speech did he say those words.

Nothing like a bunch of white guys from Nebraska telling minorities how and when they can protest racial discrimination.

Go on...

They had better be kicked off the team

Is every game going to be considered a letdown game until NU meets Wisconsin? Yes

Anyone think that we are prime for a letdown this week?

Dirk at his best: In final days, Husker family Milt Tenopir helped build was there to see him home

I disagree here, assuming that you think the birther, tax, and the looks questions were "gotcha". Trump has been leading the birther movement for the last 5 years and it is completely untrue. He is the only presidential candidate in the last however many years to not release his taxes, and his audit defense is total hogwash. And he and his campaign have continually mocked Hillary for not having the health to be a president. These are questions that need to be asked of him in front of 50M people. He is the one who brought those questions on to himself by acting the way he does. Also, the cyber attack question was a softball to him to hammer Hillary on the emails, but he somehow turned it into talking about his 10 year old son and 400lb hackers sitting on their bed.

RIP Coach I'm glad to see that he was able to make it out to practice last week.

I don't know if I can watch 2 more of these (plus the VP one).

Trump won. Just ask him.

On mobile so can't quote, but here's Cuban on Trump: BW (8/4/16): Why did you decide to endorse Clinton? Cuban: When Trump first declared his candidacy, I was truly excited about the possibilities. I liked the idea that someone from outside the realm of traditional politics was making a run for the presidency. I liked the idea that he was unrehearsed and still think in the long run the country will learn quite a bit from his campaign. I also had a very strong dislike for Ted Cruz. I was an anybody but Cruz voter. Cruz is a smart demagogue. To me that is a very dangerous combination. So in my initial support for Trump, it was very much in a hope that it would prevent Cruz from being nominated. My comments about Trump and my opposition to Cruz led to my being able to talk to Trump over the phone and via e-mail by way of one of his assistants. In those conversations, I was clear to Donald that I didnt agree with most of what he said. I also got the chance to ask him some poignant questions along the way that I think were very telling. I asked him if he realized that the job would entail making decisions that could lead to the death of our service people. I asked him about going to small businesses so he could connect and show people his business skills. Im not going to share his responses, but I learned more about him from those responses. Once he won the Republican primary, I honestly expected that he would start to become more businesslike. That he would start to add details to his top-line proposals. That he would demonstrate that he was learning the issues that he could face as president. I didnt see him making progress or even effort on any of those fronts. But that alone wasnt enough for me to endorse Secretary Clinton. I have been in the public eye for a long time and have never actively supported any candidate. There were two things that finally led me to endorse Secretary Clinton: The first was that I did quite a bit of homework to understand all the allegations that were directed toward her and found almost all not based on fact and the remainder far from material. The tipping issues were Trumps positions on NATO, our treaties, dealing with our allies, his comments on nuclear weapons, and his lack of understanding of the concept of deterrence. His ignorance of these issues scared the sh#t out of me. http://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-america-divided/mark-cuban/
