I think we're solid with Key - for a number of reasons, some of which you've noted. I think rather than hope they stop visiting and talking to him we look at it as: 1. a great way for other non committed athletes not given a look otherwise to potentially get noticed 2. If it's meant to be, it will only solidify his choice. I firmly believe that with every conversation and comment Riley, Williams and NE will only look better to both Key and Tristan. I think both kids are FULLY committed. I see a level of leadership and maturity with both that is very impressive. If nothing else their parents have monitored them, or taught them the right way to ride this wave. I can't say that about many of the others that I see poking around with programs while committed to others. There's little he can do if coaches come to school.

Speaking of working, you know who is working? Not immigrants. Most Americans work hard, but of all Americans I work the hardest. I will make the mexicans work hard to build a wall. A gigantic, beautiful wall. The most incredible wall you've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of walls. I've probably built more walls than you have seen. Have you seen Megan/Hillary/John McCain/Ben Carlson/Chris Christie/Carly Fiorna/Jeb Bush/"insert name here", a disaster. Disasters are huge. My hands are huge. My hands are beautiful and huge and incredible.

You're a moron. I'm great! Everybody loves me! Well I'm the greatest. A lot of people try to be great, but I am. It takes an awesome person to be so great and that's me. I work hard, the hardest and because of that I'm great. And I have great hair. Fantastic hair. It takes a lot of hard work and hairspray to get this hair, but hairspray today isn't as great as it used to be-if I spray hairspray in my apartment it doesn't deplete the ozone. Environmentalists are idiots, so are women, and minorities. They wish they were as great as me.

I kind of wish there could be a real conversation without all the hyperbole. It's obvious that a lot of people who are against Trump only read articles and watch news casts that are completely biased and then just regurgitate the garbage they read or hear. I don't believe he ever wanted to run for president. He was in several interviews throughout the past couple decades and they asked him if he ever would run. His answer pretty much every time was essentially "I wouldn't run unless our country got bad enough that I felt like I had to." I guess I find it hard to follow some peoples' interpretation that he's in it for selfish reasons. Your candidate prevents a real conversation. Did you actually watch any of the debates? I REALLY wish he would actually talk about issues but he very very seldom ever does and when he does, he proves he has absolutely no clue what he is doing. Attacking people is what has worked for him and why he keeps doing it. Why won't his followers demand that he actually talk about issues instead of attack people personally? Or...are we back to the Alpha thing? Like it or not, "the alpha thing" is sales and business. And running the country is essentially being the CEO of the largest business in the world. You have a right to see it how you feel you want to, but I feel like I've done my part in this thread to help talk about Trump in a more subjective manner rather than simply listening to the propaganda that's out there regarding him. I keep hearing "he never talks about specifics" about Trump. First off, what other candidate have you heard actually say what they are going to do? I tried hearing what Cruz was proposing, but he's exactly like Hillary in the fact that they say whatever they feel like they need to say in order to appease the audience they're talking to. I respect Sanders for being an outsider who's going up against the establishment, as well as his integrity, but I truly believe his policies would be the nail in the coffin of America's once-great economy. So to get back on track, I've heard Trump be the MOST consistent AND (admittedly) controversial with the things he says, but most of the time, he's completely right. And I know exactly why he's getting brutalized by public opinion. It's because in our society, we're taught that rich people are evil, and then people turn around and applaud mediocrity. I don't get it personally, but it is what it is right now, and I hope it changes. I kind of wish there could be a real conversation without all the hyperbole. It's obvious that a lot of people who are against Trump only read articles and watch news casts that are completely biased and then just regurgitate the garbage they read or hear. I don't believe he ever wanted to run for president. He was in several interviews throughout the past couple decades and they asked him if he ever would run. His answer pretty much every time was essentially "I wouldn't run unless our country got bad enough that I felt like I had to." I guess I find it hard to follow some peoples' interpretation that he's in it for selfish reasons. I'm mostly funnin' with you, but you know that. I agree: I don't think Trump ever really intended to run for president. To this day I cannot for the life of me figure out why he would want the job, other than some ego thing. He's got more money than he knows what to do with, he's a household name and reasonably well-liked (outside the political sphere, before all the quotes he's dropped in the last year), and he's doing nothing but alienating the very party he needs to actually get anything done in office. It doesn't seem like a real presidential run, and hasn't right up to the point where he secured enough delegates for an uncontested convention. Mostly I think he did this as a lark, much like his past "presidential runs," and he just let it fly from the hip. That struck a chord with enough people - and the Republican party is in such disarray - that he's done gone and won the thing. I'm concerned that, were he to win the presidency, he'd do very little governing and do a lot more kvetching than he is now. I'm afraid that two years into a Trump presidency we'll look back at the Obama presidency as "that time when congress actually got along with the White House." I think both Trump and America stand to lose badly if he gets the nomination. He'll be the first president since Nixon ousted from office before his term ends. Thanks for the response. I'll disagree that he's doing it to stroke his ego. I think he is a legitimately caring individual who has a very strange and brash way of showing it. That will probably make some people laugh, but that's what I see as the motive for his run as president. If it were for personal reasons, he wouldn't be using all of his own personal and company money to fund his campaign. Just recently he talked about the decision he was going to have to make to either sell one of his buildings or take some money from Super PACs. That tells me a lot about his motive. I'll potentially agree with you on the part about Congress and Trump butting heads. It's absolutely going to happen, because the magnitude of departmental cuts that will happen in a Trump presidency will be glorious (IMO). In general, people want to avoid change at all costs, and I understand that, because that's primal instinct in our brains. But the difference in my opinion is that I believe that after the smoke clears after all that happens, people will settle in to the changes and we will be better off. Will our foreign relations be warm and fuzzy? Absolutely not, but trade with foreign countries is a negotiation that we've been getting absolutely obliterated on for decades now, and it needs fixed. You're right - this did make me laugh. Really hard. Still laughing as I reread it.

I heard an interview today and said the "law" was drafted and they only gave 10 mins or something to call folks in to the session, they had zero time to review prior to voting, and in retrospect no time to prepare a rebuttal or push back or questions. Obviously the bathroom issue is a tiny bit of the overall ruling which is just embarrassing.

Interesting - I thought it was mom keeping his close to home. She sounds like she's thinking about his long term future. A good sign for us. (imho)

HuskerLaw I've disagreed with some of the other folks here who beat up on you a bit, because I felt that at least your comments were based in fact, but this post is nutty. Did Paterno know? Maybe. Was it enabling if he did - probably. But to leap to him being a participant is nuts. To think people were hearing screams and choosing not to do anything is nuts. Did Paterno deserve to be interviewed and investigated - yes. The idea that "these people work in packs" is ridiculous. If you've done any research at all the reason they're able to continue to abuse is that they isolate, themselves and the victims. Now the rest of your comments are valid, but the dramatic stuff lessons it's effect.

You can't build a business (which the US economy is, by the way) without taking risk. Employees simply don't understand. So when people talk about Trump bankrupting 4 companies as a reason why he's inept all I can do is roll my eyes and laugh. The reason most people don't go bankrupt is because they never do anything of significance. They clock in and clock out day after day at a job they don't like (but try to convince themselves and others that they do) and then try to tell everyone else how to run their lives. Sorry if you perceive this as "hoop jumping." I realize Trump isn't perfect. I realize the things he's planning on doing are somewhat risky. But what's the alternative? Continuing to be a doormat in the world with trade, education, economy, immigration, etc.? Count me out on that one. On the current path, America is on track for total collapse, and Trump is the only one who's planning to do anything about it. Sorry if he doesn't tip-toe around like the politicians that so many people on this board seem to adore, but so many of the things that he's proposing have been desperately needed in this country for decades now. Have fun living in Canada. So what is he "planning on doing"? Other than say he's the greatest and he has awesome plans - what has he actually said he will do? He speaks with ZERO content other than to spew hatred and bigotry. He's an embarrassment to this country. You speak of his bankruptcies as badges of honor because he tried. He impacted millions of people with each of those filings, which he admits he made out well financially by doing so. These are our fellow americans, you and I who are trying to work to feed ourselves and our families. Once, is a mistake - two, three and four more is just greed, poor business planning and strategy, and absolute selfishness. Look into his promises to the folks in the communities in Scotland, and in Jersey City as well as other spots where he's done business. It's indicative of what we're up for if he gets a place in government. False promises that he can't deliver on. ZERO CONTENT. He's a buffoon. You must not be a woman or have a wife, or more specifically a daughter. Would you be ok with him alluding to her to get on her knees to earn his business support? With him belittling her professional skills by calling her a bimbo? Once again, you have no idea about anything business related. I'd like to see you go out and try to build a 10 billion dollar empire and see how many companies you bankrupt. I bet it will be more than 4. Much, much more. "I'd like to see you do better" is hardly a stellar defense of Trump. And that seems needlessly inflammatory. All I'm trying to say is that everybody acts like it's so easy and have absolutely no clue. And if he would have stepped back after his first bankruptcy he never would have built the enormous empire he did. People can try to discredit him by saying he started with a lot so it was easy, but people who say that are morons, honestly. And moraine, sorry, but I don't subscribe to the PC culture BS. Sometimes there's a right side and a wrong side, and this is one of those times. Matter of opinion on the right and wrong side HuskerShark - those who can't respect that people can have differences of opinions without belittling them and calling them names are the ones proving themselves to be uneducated and simple minded. With your comments here it's obvious that you represent the exact population that Trump has taken advantage of. God help us.

You're wrong about my business experiences, but you are right, I wouldn't go bankrupt 4 times. I would have stopped and switched gears after the first time I had to put thousands of people out of work and ask the government to help me and creditors to cover my poor business planning ass.

Pretty small shorts.

If by best you mean oddest.

Have I missed it somewhere in this thread ... are people talking about tweeting at him? Was that someone from this group?

Who wants to tell the kid it's HuskERS?

I understood that Kiffin was headed to practice/school. As our coaches do they go to watch numerous potential comitts and recruits and talk with their coaches. Keep in mind that Calabasas is a hotbed for talent right now. There are plenty of folks Kiffin is likely talking to. Bookie, TGeb etc. Nobody is freaking out about that. I honestly don't think he would put himself on the big stage with peer recruiting, pretty much locking up his best friend and then change his mind. He has a great relationship with his position coach the head coach and I feel like he's got the whole package fit with UNL. With that said, I'd like to get him back on campus for a reminder sooner rather than later.

Hunter Echols - this morning or afternoon - he deleted it already.

No

Which sucks because if Martell goes there Lindsey won't be far behind. I agree - I gotta believe having Bookie in his ear is good for us, but there's that year between them. I thought we had a better shot at Tyjon than Darnay. Now who knows.

I don't thin anybody is lambasting, just noting that his need for followers and responses and media attention may be misleading the Big Red abut his intention. He's been asking Gebbia and others to get him followers, and his activity is far different from others of same age and talent. With that said, if attention is a big factor for him, then Husker Nation is the place for him.

Recent tweet he claims, "Never said State & Nebraska was my top teams I said "them the teams I been focusing on the most" they been recruiting me the hardest" Me think the back peddling has begun for KH. He likes the bright lights though ...

Interesting ... new crystal ball as of 5/1 from Tyler Donahue.

Absolutely wouldn't attend college without a visit. Especially one so far away from home. It would be one thing if he had a buddy coming with him, or a friend already here. But great fans or not - momma won't let her son make that sort of decision, especially if they're as close as it sounds they are. Now, if he can get up for a visit on a game day ... just imagine how impressed he'd be with the fan base.

I don't know why this keeps happening, but in the last two/three pages of this thread, you keep saying you're not worried about the trans people you're worried about the predators, and people keep responding to you like you're saying something about the trans people. You're not the only one seeing this. It's weird. That's what happens when emotions get brought into discussion. NM is obviously somewhat passionate about it. Keeps missing the point. I don't think anyone is missing the point. Our points just differ, and that doesn't make either one less valid. Nobody has debated with you on the fact that a man should not be allowed into a ladies room. Nobody has debated with you that if there was some way to do it we should limit access to any sexual predator to either the mens or the ladies rooms. I respect your concerns that this rule will allow bad people to potentially use this as a way to access bathrooms. I just don't agree. I simply tried to make the point in a variety of examples that gender or gender identity is not tied to sexual predatory risk, and that there is no evidence that allowing someone into a bathroom to relieve themselves increases safety risks for anyone. Regardless of gender or gender identity.

We don't. Exactly. I guess I am now confused which side you are taking on this deal. Currently, standard convention helps prevent men from entering the ladies room. These guys know today that people will look at them funny and probably say something if they attempt to use the women's room. With this new Target policy, there is not even that deterrent to help keep them out. I realize that may cause a little discomfort for some trans people but I really do believe that would serve society as whole better. My point is that we can't assume that sex offenders are the opposite sex, or same sex. We can not monitor the risky "bathroom goers" at all right now anyway. By allowing transgendered to use the bathroom aligned to who they are today we are not increasing risk, as we have no clue what risk is now and we don't monitor and can't regulate it. Today men can go into mens rooms and prey on men. Women can go into womens' rooms and prey on women. Nothing changes if a transwoman goes into a ladies room. She may or may not be a good person or a sexual deviant just like everyone in every stall next to her.
