Bad ex of the exact attitude that has us where we are today as a nation. Horrible.

 

 

I would be much more concerned about people in her security detail referring to her as a bitch because that would tend to be a comment on her actions privately and how she may treat people on a personal basis.

 

Such as secret service members writing about their personal accounts with them?

 

I'm not sure if you've read those or not, but if not, you need to. One (maybe more) even wrote a book about what he saw and heard during the Clinton presidency, and it paints an ugly picture. For all the people who call Trump the egomaniac and the one who lacks temperament (which I disagree with personally, but whatever) between the two, Hillary is WAY worse than anyone would care to believe...

 

Hell to Pay: The unfolding story of Hillary Rodham Clinton by Barbara Olson.

 

The author was on one of the planes that crashed into the WTC on 9/11

 

You know this is the real reason 911 happened right? Hillary & Bill didn't like what she wrote and the liberal media covered the whole thing up. (kidding of course, but I can't believe that hasn't been a headline).

 

 

 

I feel like some recruits tweet stuff like this bc they want attention and our fan base will go bonkers over stuff like this. I hope he has real interest

I agree - and it's a game. This one has no interest just like the RB from Mississippi had no interest in anything other than building his twitter fan base. If Geb or Key asks for attention to someone I feel it's pretty legit and will help (they've got skin in the game, and are targeted with their requests), when others stoke the fire it's to make us look silly and to make egos grow.

 

Kid's trying to get to 10k followers - he doesn't try to hide that on his Twitter. Wish we Neb fans weren't such suckers.

 

Does anyone really care about "giving" a follow to someone on twitter? What's the down side of being one of these "suckers"?

 

Guess I just don't like to have the good people of NE be the butt of anybody's joke, much less an 18 year old kid. I don't care about the follow thing at all personally, I'm puzzled by how much it means to kids today. So I guess it comes down to pride for me, and not being used for what I consider to be one of the greatest traits of of our fan base.

It's too late. If we really Juanted him it would have taken more than Juan interaction or visit. He's Juan-gone.

What have I done?

Did you mean to ask, "what have I Juan?"

I dont want him to look back on not picking us when he's a senior at the age of twenty juan, just juandering what went wrong.

At that point he'll just be a twenty-something Juannabe.

All I can say at this point about him is that he is Juan big boy! His grocery bill must so high he has to move back and forth between his parents cause he eats them out of house and home!

I heard he just eats lots of JuanTons.

Juander if he's better in zone or Juan on Juan?

Not sure I Juan him.

I do Juan-der what he could do, if we gave him just Juan chance.

If Joseph Lewis and Tyjon Lindsey are at the Opening and talking about Nebraska to a guy who doesn't even have an offer to the point that he tweets about it I'm taking that as a good sign for us not with Grimes but with Lewis and Lindsey

I think it's a "hey watch this, their fans are nuts - you'll get 1k responses in an hour" thing.

I'm starting to feel a little used ...

This thread made my day ....

Nebraska kids have been, and always will be, pursued less than if they went to school in TX, CA or FL. It's the reality of opportunity cost for out of state coaches building relationships with NE coaches. We shouldn't look at a NE kid's list of offers as the best indicator of whether we should recruit them because it's quite likely that a "3 star" NE kid who is equal to or better than a "3 star" Ohio or FL or CA kid will never get an offer from OSU, UF or UCLA simply due to geography.

I will agree with you that looking at a kids offer list isn't probably the best indicator of whether we should pursue, but I guess I do think the recruiting list as one gets into their Sr. year is often indicative of skill set and overall potential a great deal of the time. If more than one program views films, visits and etc and puts value on a kid then there's usually something there. Solid athletes have proven that the programs will come to NE to view them (I'm thinking Allen and Jurgens most recently).

I think where we win with instate recruits, and it will take consistency and time (this staff is doing it right - establishing relationships with coaching staff through the state and etc) is to identify coachable kids early. To find diamonds in the rough that don't stand out on film to other teams, but are built well, have speed etc (Mapiue is an excellent example). Getting commitments as Juniors with these kids is great. The beauty of our program is 99% of kids raised in NE have dreamt about playing in Lincoln.

Can you help me out with why you think a 3 star athlete in OH has a better chance with a strong college than a 3 star NE kid?

 

 

 

This seems like a reasonable statement on its face, but it's very misguided about how recruiting at NU needs to work. Nebraska HAS to be a program that can identify and develop potential. Going after "championship caliber" recruits means trying to beat Alabama, OSU, Notre Dame, Michigan, et al. at their own game. And that's just not going to happen consistently.

 

How many of those "championship caliber" guys are even identifiable in high school?

 

Picking up a 3 star California kid is not necessarily better than picking up a 2 star NE native who's got potential to grow.

 

They've all got potential to grow ... starting with more talent doesn't hurt.

Don't get me wrong, I hope we get some additional in state guys lined up, but you'd be hard pressed to defend to me how a kid getting offers from SDSU, Minn and etc is somebody we should be hot on. On the flip side, the top tier instate recruits being pursued by other similar caliper programs have committed to UNL in the last year (Allen, Maypeiu, Bando) I think we're on the right track.

 

bnilhome, what the hell man?

 

I'm fine with you no liking Clinton. I don't like her. I'm fine with you listing reasons not to like her and complaining about her.

 

But for f#*k's sake, any woman who has people working for her or is in the spotlight has been called a bitch to her face or behind her back. That's the way things work regardless of the fact that things have gotten a lot better for women. It means sh#t all that people have done it to her.

 

Sorry, I should have provided more context. There have been multiple reports by members of the secret service that being assigned to Hillary was the worst assignment you could get, that she talked down and cussed out many officers, and hence none of them enjoyed working around her. Ronald Kessler is one of those agents that served in Bill's tenure and had regular interactions with both Clintons. I agree that women have had to break through glass ceilings, but the point is that there seem to be more stories about Hillary's diva-like behavior than other Democratic or GOP female politicians. As for name calling, I think I've seen a fair share of Trump-bashing on here including some calling him an a*s, douche, etc. My point was not to focus on the names used but rather how the candidates are perceived by those they work with or around.

 

As for the "who let the dogs out" video, that is just plain funny, no matter your political beliefs. She actually barked like a dog at one of her campaign stops.

And the bigger point is - perception of women in leadership or a powerful position no matter the source (body guards, co workers, employees etc) is skewed to the negative for the same traits that are perceived as strong and positive for men.

It's one of the difficulties in a woman trying to shatter a glass ceiling -- no matter what she does, it looks strange, or even threatening, to see a woman aspiring to a job still firmly in the domain of men. (A female sports announcer, for example....)

 

Stop me if you've heard this before. Hillary is cold. She doesn't smile enough. She's shrill. So is Elizabeth Warren. She's power hungry. She's ambitious -- not in the bravo, admire-the-man kind of way. In the evil-woman-seeking-power kind of way. She's fake, because she alone of all the politicians in the world plays the political game to try to appeal to voters.

 

This and all kinds of other codespeak for that 5-letter word. I think it's better to have it out in the open, really. I think we are mostly unconscious of this, but it's really, really easy for a woman, especially one who isn't content with the traditional role of being eye candy, to be immediately dismissed as a "b**ch". It happens, all the time, subtly or overtly.

Yup - all sounds familiar. Too familiar sadly, we've all (women) been on the receiving end of that.

While it may be true - you take the same content, have it read by a man and he's perceived as "strong, dominant, opinionated, a leader". A woman says it, and she's a b*tch. There's actually an article/study looking at communications and perception between sexes that I may have to go looking for to post here. It's interesting, all that we've known and felt for years actually quantified.

 

 

Here is a great read that I would recommend for anyone interested in the general election, even those that think Trump is a dope. It comes from his son-in-law who is not a super-partisan guy and has worked for Cory Booker's campaign in the past (who is supposed to be on Hillary's short list). For me this is a common theme I have heard about Trump, that those that know the real guy behind the scenes think he's a great guy, and the more you get to know him the more you will like him. Now most of us will never get to know him so we are simply left with what we see on television and via social media.

Something I have learned about people like Trump and Hillary.

 

The people around them do tend to like them. Here's why:

 

Those people are the ones they have allowed in to their inner circle. AND, those people tend to be people who are attracted to those type of people. Also, once inside that inner circle, they know how to stroke them(Trump or Hillary) so that they are allowed to stay in that inner circle.

 

That doesn't mean in general they aren't complete jackasses.

 

There isn't one horrendously horrible leader throughout history that didn't have a group of people around him/her that didn't think they were just great.

 

 

I'm not talking just about an inner circle type of thing. This includes people that have spoken to him behind the scenes but have not been close to him for years. For instance, Ben Carson spoke about how Trump is a different person behind the scenes after he dropped out of the race. Many who have worked with/for Trump have had positive things to say, including Lewandowski who Trump just fired. I'm sure given the number of jobs Trump has created through the number of people he has employed, there are bound to be many disgruntled employees.

 

As for Hillary, I am sure there are those who find her appealing that are close, but I have also seen many reports (including anyone in the secret service that had to work with her) that said she was a known by a 5-letter name, and she can bark to prove it's true.

Please stop.

OMG - I'm fine with people stating OPINIONs, that's what this board is all about. But when you claim something's a fact then be ready to show that it's so, and that it's from a non-biased source. Trying to deflect someone who asks you where this "fact" comes from is childish and elementary.

Is there anybody out there that's really surprised by this? It aligns pretty well with their overall views and followers I think.

I'll just leave this here...

I'd love for you to read this with an open mind and give me your thoughts, 84. I feel it's a pretty fair voice from the other side of that coin.

Excellent - thank you for this.

 

 

That's totally understandable, and not a big deal. One could easily argue (probably correctly) that those polls favor Trump.

I can't believe I'm stirring this pot, but I'm curious Shark how you could perceive these polls favor Trump and are a positive? Are you kidding me?

I believe his argument is that we shouldn't care what the rest of the world thinks. USA USA USA

 

Figured as much - not sure why I keep hoping that at some point I'll really understand why people are hearing good things when he keeps saying such obvious nut-ball, wacky, horrible things.

So people are trying to say the reason he won the primary is because of blatant racism?

 

LOL what?!

Dude - what are you looking at and responding to?

I've seen nothing hinting about an announcement - where ya getting it?
