    Moments after the men charged into his apartment, Caperton Humphrey remembered the baseball bat in his bedroom.

    If they came at him — and Humphrey believed he saw the imprint of a pistol in one man’s jogging pants — he needed a plan to fight back.

    For months, four of these men had been his teammates on the Kansas Jayhawks football team. Now they and about a half-dozen others were in Humphrey’s living room, threatening him, his father Jamie, and even Caperton’s 15-year-old brother. Seconds later, Jamie Humphrey dialed 911, putting his phone on speaker before setting it on a countertop.

     

    Caperton Humphrey didn’t know it, but the end of his time with KU football was just a few days away, with this serving as the breaking point.

    The final resolution: KU’s athletic department agreeing to pay him more than $50,000 in benefits to go home after he reported threats and harassment from teammates.

    This thread went off the rails once the names Jeff Snook and Zac Smith started showing up in this thread. Now it is ok to trust these people?

     

    I'm simply reporting what is being said. Not saying Zack Smith is a great guy or that what he said is 100% accurate.

    I have no idea why you would think that's the only Pelini game I want to remember.  My top two theories are:  1) You are not a smart man.  And 2) You are trying to create an argument. 

     

    Those are not mutually exclusive theories.

     

    Its 2020, I don't think you're allowed to assume one's gender

    Just to be clear, I am not a Trump "supporter". No matter the president (Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump) I've wanted to see them succeed and for America to prosper. I'm also not looking to debate anyone, just wanted to throw my 2 cents in for what its worth.

    Bump this.

     

    I did my best to reply to questions asked but I really don't want to spend all day going back and forth nor do I have much more to contribute. I fully admit that I'm a lower political and legal IQ person. I thought the hearings would have a smoking gun but I didn't see it. That is all, enjoy your weekend and GBR.

    What do you consider a first hand account? Of the very few people who were actually on the call, no one said that Trump directly said that the investigations were contingent on aid or whatever.

     

    Also, how did the hearings lead you to the bolded conclusion? Hunter getting paid a ton of money from a shady company and Joe stating publicly that he pressured them to fire the prosecutor.

    Just because I think the Bidens should be investigated doesn't mean I think Trump shouldn't be investigated. I want all potential corruption to be investigated no matter the party lines.

    Are you talking about impeachment or removal? Two very different questions. Remember that Clinton was impeached, he was not removed.

    I haven't really thought about that. I guess impeachment with this being a impeachment hearing.

     

    Additionally, I'm curious as to what additional information you would need to conclude that Trump asked for an investigation? Or are you of the belief that it's not a big deal one way or another? Trump asking for an investigation doesn't bother me and if the Bidens are corrupt we shouldn't be allowing Joe to run for president. Same goes for Trump.

     

    Finally, what potential crime did the Bidens commit? If it wasn't a federal crime in the USA, should we be asking other countries to pursue criminals? That is to say, if Trudeau called up Trump and was like hey, I want you to investigate someone for me, we're trying to clean up corruption. We should listen? Why? I'm not sure if there was an actual crime or not. An investigation would determine that. I think all corruption should be investigated and if the corruption extends to other countries then we may need their help looking into it. So if Trudeau wanted our help to investigate a Canadian and it may have happened in the USA then I would support us helping them.

    Appreciate you giving your take on this. What do you think of the WH preventing Mulvaney, Pompeo, Bolton, etc. from testifying. I’m just curious to hear an unbiased opinion about that. I think they should testify and I do not support them being blocked.

    I consider myself an independent who is fiscally conservative and socially liberal. I did not vote for Trump and I generally stay far away from politics. Its hard for me to trust the media (left or right) to give an accurate account without their own spin, so I've watched as much of the hearings as I could (its been slow at work) to see and hear first hand without red or blue glasses on.

     

    Don't attack me for this as it is just my opinion... I really didn't see a good case for impeachment presented. I kept thinking, "all this hype and this is all you have?". Very little hard evidence or first hand accounts.

     

    Also, the Bidens should be investigated.

  8. In my opinion the board is better off with a donation page. A value for value model.

     

    The problem with having advertisers is that they then run the show. Can't say anything bad about the advertisers or they will pull the funding. Members will start being banned if they piss off an advertiser, etc.

    Watch, it will happen sooner or later.

    It's more like I went to my Mom's for brunch every Sunday for years.  Then one day she was like "You can still have the brunch, but you gotta listen to Uncle Barry tell his colonoscopy story while you eat it.  Or I can charge you for it."

    This is the perfect analogy.
