JJ Husker

Week 9 Ohio State -27 Clemson -4.5 Nebraska +8

Nice try, again, but I'm still not voting for Hillary....or Trump. I realize it's largely symbolic but both parties need to receive the message that these are not acceptable choices to put before the people. I refuse to be blackmailed into voting for someone I despise because the other choice happens to be even worse. Ha, so I guess I'll vote for a know nothing flake instead. What a time to be alive.

Pretty darned sure this is MM using a sort of reverse psychology to scare people who he thinks don't think Trump could elected. We all know that MM's preference would be Hillary or any liberal dem getting the job as opposed to Trump or any repub. I'M sure there are a significant number of people who look at this and think "what the hell, I'll vote for Trump" and send the message that I'm not happy with the way things are but all the while knowing deep down that there is no way in hell my fellow citizens will elect Trump. Those people do exist. I think this is Moore's way of trying to get through to at least a few of them and make them realize it could happen. jmo. I mean really, honestly....seriously and honestly, who can picture it really coming to pass? I realize all it takes is enough votes in right places and he is headshakingly close is many states but really I don't believe it could really happen. I mean really...

You're welcome!

To be accurate, this is the "MEDIAN" salary which is different than "average" salary. I would be interested in seeing the "average" salary rankings. You are correct sir, my bad. I just looked at the colorful bar graph, didn't read it, and assumed those were averages.

True...but the "don't belong" thing, I think, has more to do with the teams NU has played so far. If Oregon was 6-1 right now, there would be no such talk. Sure, some of the current "don't belong in the top ten" talk is due to who we have/haven't played but if we hadn't sh#t the bed in every big, defining important game in recent memory, the Huskers would be given a lot more slack nationally and by our own fanbase. The way it is, people sort of expect us to come out and look the fool. That is the difference between being competitive and playing respectably and getting your doors blown off and setting mind numbing futility records. Every Husker fan wants to win every game. Everyone understands that winning is better than losing. It's unfortunate that so many of us have been conditioned to anticipate bad things and protect ourselves by being accepting of less than ideal results. That phenomenon has been thrust on us because of what this program has gone through since TO left the field, including last year and even some of the less than stellar performances this season. Yeah, right now we're undefeated but nobody would say we're playing up to the level we would like to see. People need to quit acting like those who would accept a respectable close loss have somehow lowered the bar for the program. It just a defense mechanism that helps people cope with less than 90'sish results. Let's be honest, after all we've been through, playing a respectable national game in which Gordon isn't still rushing unimpeded, is better than much of what has ocurred, even if it isn't the victory we all really want.

I agree that the most important thing in this game is getting the win. An ugly win is still lightyears better than a pretty, moral type victory loss. But, there is a big difference to the program between losing close/respectable and suffering another blowout. We have to begin changing the national perception that we "don't belong" in the discussion. Sure, you can argue that we're in the discussion and relevant since we are #6/7 but the sobering fact is, we will tumble faster and further, to never be considered land, if we lose embarrassingly big yet again. Gotta get that monkey off this program's back. A close loss may not be we want to see but it would be better than an even uglier curb stomping.

Little known fact; Talk of smoke-wagon control began in the late 1880's.

Rather telling that the B1G average includes the highest single salary. My quick and probably inaccurate math adjusts the B1G average to a meager $2,272,500 sans Harbaugh. I realize these are still ridiculous salaries but shouldn't a place like Nebraska, with our relatively high resources, be paying our HC quite a bit more. Not angling to get HCMR a raise but if we want (and WE do) to be in the discussion year in and year out? The Moneyball approach wouldn't seem to fit well in CFB.

^^^ These

The way ours has been functioning, the more temporary the better IMO.

Wouldn't that be our chance of going undefeated and winning the championship? The odds are a little better of doing it without being undefeated. We can drop a game on the way....just sayin. Edit- sorry, didn't read to the end before posting...

2-1 on the week, 14-10 overall +$300

I learned that being in the top ten was fun while it lasted. Not much hope for the next two games if we play anything at all like today.

Fo Foddy Nine too much. Scratch that...he should have to pay the team, a lot, to be allowed to run special teams like that. Our punt protection and punt return are a goddamn joke.

124th against the run. If we can't block and run against Purdue, we're screwed. Oline needs to man up and do something.

I don't know about "venom" but it was a rather pointed and honest article about the current situation in Afghanistan and the mostly failed policies of the last 8+ years and the half-assed execution of our wars. Level it and end it or get the hell out. Putting our soldiers lives and our tax money on auto drip isn't getting us anywhere.

*shudders, wimpers, puts tail between legs and hides under bed* Speaking of abused dog syndrome...

A chance to equal our stride

Cameras have something called white balance that determines the color temperature of the image (the goal being so that pure white is pure white and not slightly orange or blue). Color temps are dependent on a million things and not the easiest thing in the world to sync up perfectly in a multi-camera broadcast. And that seems plausible as well. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist so I was hoping there would be some possible innocent explanations. I'm still not convinced it wasn't done purposely to influence people's perception but at least it may not have been and there are some other options of how it could've come about. It was weird though. The candidate's appearance is not something I normally pay much attention to, and for sure not hue differences like that. But I commented to my wife a few times how much better than usual Hillary looked and that Trump was his usual self and that he should hire better makeup people. Even with purposeful hue manipulation, she had some miracle work done on her face and neck. Not a line or crease to be had. Almost to wax museum degree. It didn't really register on debate night but I did also comment how her pant suit had seemed to change color. I guess when the substance is off putting, we find other things to pay attention to.

So the implication is that a supposed camera filter impacted the outcome of this debate? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *cough* *SNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNIFFF* *cough* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Um, no. (Edit for clarification--I'm laughing at the source site, not JJ). I took another look at that site. They made no implication whatsoever that this impacted the outcome of this debate. They simply reported on the extremely obvious hue differential between Trump and Clinton. Their only implication was that the media was trying to rig the candidates appearance to aid Hillary. You guys can snort, chuckle and guffaw all you want. If you're satisfied with media outlets subliminally affecting peoples perception of candidates, I must say I'm a little disappointed in you. Do you also like it when somebody pisses on you and tells you it's raining? I know I'm quite a bit older than most here but it used to be that these guys would report the news and events, as they really happened, and they made some effort in letting the people decipher what that meant for themselves. Either this was done on purpose to portray Hillary in a better light (no pun intended) than Trump or it was an honest mistake that somebody would have to explain to me how that happens. My first thought when I saw HRC in that debate was, hey she looks a hell of lot better than normal, she must have been in makeup for about 3 days prior to this shindig. Then I found out her image was being enhanced and Trumps was not. I could give a rip less about which person it harmed or helped or really even if it helped in this particular debate. The point is, the people who are presenting this information to normal everyday citizens are being dishonest with them. I don't like being lied to, apparently you guys do. Or, maybe you're just more comfortable with it since it's pretty much been happening your whole lives and you don't know any better. I don't think they're laughing that it happened. I think they don't think it happened. Or at least don't think it was done purposely. Also, Red Five wrote "Each channel had a slightly different hue. On a couple Trump looked very white. On others, he looked his normal orange. Now that could have been the TVs as well." It's also possible that Hillary looked awful on camera because everything was all white and they adjusted the contrast. Which might be something they'd do for an anchor without thinking. Well I'm pretty sure it did happen. I only watched it my tv and there was a definite hue difference depending on which candidate was on camera. There were a few times where they both were in frame. When it was just Hillary, her pantsuit was severely cream (off white-almost yellow). When she was in the background of a Trump shot, it was white white. But maybe it was like NM said and she negotiated that filter. I know they do have crazy lists of demands.

So the implication is that a supposed camera filter impacted the outcome of this debate?

Or, maybe you're just more comfortable with it since it's pretty much been happening your whole lives and you don't know any better. I don't know the entire back story here - but it's quite possible that part of her negotiation was to have a filter on her during these debates. Wouldn't be unusual, and that very well would be something Trump and his advisors or whomever was negotiating for the debates had no idea to ask for. Thank you. That is a reasonable and possible explanation. We all know Trump's people can't handle the simplest things. They sure as heck probably wouldn't know if requesting a filter was an option or they would have tried defeating that orange tint a long time ago.
