Making Chimichangas

 

 

We will see the direction of our program on NSD. If we can get some of the big fish we are after, I think Riley can and will lead this team to at very minimum a West title in the next 3 years.

Oh.

 

Goodie.

I think we can win the west next season but I might be accused of being under the influence of something by some on this board

 

Nebraska could have won the Big 10 West this season...if they weren't a gaggle of weak female dogs. (Profanity deliberately withheld.)

Pat McCrory Lost the North Carolina Governorship. Now Hes Trying to Steal It.

 

North Carolina Republican Gov. Pat McCrory, champion of the country's most notorious anti-LGBTQ law, lost his bid for re-election on Nov. 8 at last count, by 7,448 votes. Yet nearly two weeks later, McCrory still refuses to concede. Instead, he and his legal team are baselessly alleging that the results were tainted by fraud, petitioning election boards to review the results and determine their validity. McCrory is not so obtuse as to think he can actually overtake his opponent, Democratic Attorney General Roy Cooper, in raw votes. His strategy is more insidious: He seems intent on delaying the formal declaration of a winner and delegitimizing the voting process in order to let the Republican-dominated legislature ignore the true result and re-install McCrory as governor for another four years.

He might even prevail.

 

So in essence...when republicans win it is obviously "the 'will' of the people, but when they lose, there has to be 'fraud' involved.

I watched the Big Ten Championship game last night after Volleyball was over and I kept thinking to my self wow we are no where close to Penn St or WI at this point in the year and we are even further behind MI and Ohio State. We are a middle of the road team in the Big Ten.

 

WI will dominate the West the next few years and we seem to have no clue?

 

I never was sold on Riley and I am still not, he is a great guy but wow I cant help but wonder if we can ever really compete with him as Coach?

Nebraska is closer than you think to being consistently in the conference's top 3.

We just gotta expel the pelini cancers from this team.

 

Music city bowl sucks, and Huskers will probably get blown out by Vols

Optimism abounds

 

As it should! Cuz as we've seen, this Nebraska team plays AWESOME when the lights are the brightest!

^ I do not agree with those personal opinions. There are many people of faith in this world, more articulate than I, that could probably help answer those questions you have.

The questions I posed were rhetorical.

The piece of excrement who shot up the Orlando nightclub and killed 50 people was a product of US religious culture.

You cannot teach a child from the time he/she is very young that being gay is wrong, an abomination, disgusting, etc and then act shocked when that child then goes out and perpetrates extreme violence against the very group of people you (meaning the larger hetero and religious society) taught him to hate.

I saw this on the web a while back and it is relevant here [paraphrasing]:You're not the shooter, but

• You taught your kids that being trans/gay is an abomination.
• You support all anti-LBGTQ legislation.
• You openly use slurs to describe gay/trans people.
• You saw the news reports of over 50 gay people dead and you smiled and laughed.
• You cite religious liberty as a way to legally dehumanize people.

No, you're not the shooter...you're just the person who filled him with all that hate, gave him the gun and ammunition, then set him loose in society.

Currently this year Ohio State has recruited 16 (4 and 5 star) elite players in this years class. In 2013 they landed 18 elite (4 and 5 star) players.

 

In the past few years Alabama has recruited as many as 22 elite players (4 and 5 star)... in one class.

Recruiting matters. Recruiting elite or the very best talent is crucial to have the best chance at winning a national championship, that is true.

Wanna know what else is crucial to winning national championships?

1. Having great coaches
2. Having schemes the players can execute at a high level while minimizing mistakes and mental errors
3. Staying healthy
4. Developing your players
5. Consistently watching film and improving your game
6. Players being team oriented and more wanting to win than padding their stats
7. Having players with excellent work ethic
8. Players staying out of trouble off the field
9. Players taking their school work seriously
10. Fortuitous calls by refs that save a team's season
11. Lucky breaks/bounces of the ball

Stated plainly, recruiting great/elite talent is crucial certainly. But there are so many other factors which go into how a team does, to try and reduce it all to just recruiting is absurd.

I mostly like them. I'm still not sold on Banker as our DC, but in fairness, you can't judge a college coach by one year. I also subscribe to the notion that the product you're selling can affect how you perform.

I really do admire this staff in the way they recruit. They are going after some of the most elite talent in the country and that's the way it should be.

I am looking at the Big 10 as a whole and really the only school that is better than NU talent wise is Ohio State--and that gap is narrowing.

@Landlord of Memorial Stadium

Shallow criticism is reading the bible and coming to the conclusion that god is a wrathful, genocidal, manic? You cannot be serious. I wasn't expecting to be called incompetent or dumb right out of the gate, but here we are. In verse after verse, god condones murder, mass-murder, slavery, genocide, rape, killing of children, etc. If god exists, it is not moral, it is not good, and it darn sure doesn't give two hoots about people.

If the bible is not to be taken as it is written, then what's the point of having it? Why does a god who "loves" you need to threaten you with damnation if you don't love and worship it? That's not unconditional love, that's a narcissistic, ego-driven maniac. Factor in the penchant for murder and blood lust and I don't see how any fair reading of the bible doesn't bring someone to the conclusion god is a murderous sociopath.

Not trying to be rude or disrespectful to your view here, but your notion that god works patiently through people is, frankly, a load of malarkey. So an all-knowing, omnipotent god doesn't know that humans will misconstrue its words? An all-knowing, omnipotent god can't correct things like that? An all-knowing, omnipotent god who loves you will sit idly by as people bomb, murder, torture, and commit the worst atrocities in its name? Seriously?

Back to the point of this thread as it pertains to abortion: god if it exists is not pro-life because it has killed so many children that it would be a mass murderer based on that alone.

Government regulation of the economy is needed to a certain point. Where that point is, I have no idea.

What I do know: when left completely alone, pretty much all businesses will, in the pursuit of ever higher profits...

• Violate employees safety
• Pollute the environment by not properly disposing of waste
• Cut corners and use sub-standard products in the manufacturing process and produce bad/faulty products
• Endanger public safety

In other words, a truly free market simply cannot exist because of people's greed for more money/profits. And call me cynical, but there is absolutely no way in hell I would ever trust those who run a corporation to do the right thing on all fronts on their own.

 

But in terms of law and policy the simple truth is that men would not stand for the same restrictions placed on their bodies.

This is not a truth. If men carried babies, we'd still be having this discussion. It's not about men vs women, it's about whether or not that's a life being ended.

 

I think it is true. And, if men could get pregnant, not only would an abortion procedure be legal and no one would be ostracized for having one, but there would be abortion clinics on practically every street corner.

Oh look, it's huskerfan2000's abortion thread!

 

But in all seriousness, this is one of the most f*cked-up things about our country - that we have a large portion of our country (and across the world I'm sure) who believe it's OK to kill babies.

If you believe in god and think the bible is the word of god, then killing babies, children, slaughtering pregnant women, etc...are ALL condoned by "god."

Would you like me to post the relevant bible verses?

People who think "god" is pro-life have obviously never read the bible.

What are early thoughts on predictions for season? I seem to waver on 8-4, or 9-3.

 

Going to say 9-3. Losses to Northwestern, Ohio St and Iowa.

 

Northwestern always plays us tough and will be on road following a surprising, emotional and tough win over Oregon. I see us going to Ohio St with one loss. Could be flat in Chicago the next week.

 

Ohio St is probably even beatable given all the players they will be replacing. If TA can make a big jump and eliminate the costly turnovers I can see a 1 loss regular season. Not likely though

That's the biggest problem, 11-1 regular season is possible if the coaches call plays which take advantage of what Tommy Armstrong does well.

Conversely, I could also see NU going 7-5 with losses to: Oregon, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Northwestern, and Indiana.

Not to mention we could also do worse than 7-5. The Huskers could also lose to Iowa, Purdue, or anyone else on our schedule. But we could also beat everyone except for probably Ohio State.

In summary, I have no idea.

What are your thoughts on the QB situation, because we've got some really good freshman QBs coming in, and a starting QB that just doesn't fit the offense in my opinion, thoughts on tommy? Future of our QBs?

If the coaches call plays that fit what Tommy does well, everything should be fine.

If the coaches want him to throw the ball 40+ times every game, we're screwed.

And while I am really excited about the incoming prospects, putting all our money on a true freshman quarterback isn't really a smart way to invest.

I guess somebody likes us....

 

I love this.

It is really interesting because I think that kind of final ranking is possible.

I also think a legitimate case could be made for NU going 6-6.

I think 6-6 is unlikely. But with this team, and all the unknowns, who knows?
