You are so far out in the weeds it’s laughable.

 

First thing you should know is, Biden is not my man. I mean sure, if it’s him or Trump then I choose Biden but I am a former life long republican. It took the trainwreck that is Trump to change that. But I am about the farthest thing you can find from a democrat liberal lefty. Luckily I’m not a brainwashed idiot though. 
 

As for your renewed ramblings about the war….

 

Cannot like this post more. Perfect example of being affiliated to a party but not affiliated to stupidity. Kudos to you and everyone else out there that can be rational enough to be aligned with a party core but not grounded in irrational blind support.

Full disclosure. When Trump was elected I laughed and honestly thought it was great as it affirmed my beliefs in our collective inability to come to a sensible decision in voting. I look back on that and realize how my own "disenfranchised" view was harmful. Bulls#!t needs to be called out. Bulls#!t needs to be recognized. Idiots need to be called out for their dumb s#!t thinking (I include me from Trumps election in this rant). I grew from it and realized how an elected leader can warp people's minds. I realize how juvenile that sounds, cause of course it does, but at that time I don't think I truly grasped (more so wanted to believe) that their are a bunch of idiots out there.i guess growing up I never really had a president that I thought was "bad" I just saw them as a mouth piece for the "true leaders". But...f#&%!!!...the way I saw people gravitate towards an ignorant, selfish dumbs#!t like Trump has completely changed me...for the better.

Excuse me sir, if you read it again, clearly states this is happening with Joe Biden in office.  That is truth and a fact, not a thing.

Lol...your response is sooooo ironically perfect.

Mar 8th, 2022 - California $5.44 -$5.73 per gallon of gas (reg & premium)

This is really happening today with Joe Biden in office, and his administration.  It's a shame.  I feel bad for the American people.

Good lord...you really think the gas price is a Biden thing?

Man, we would love some of that $3.88 gas here in California.

Just apply Shaqology: Spend $1.94 a gallon and treat a half tank as full. BOOM!!!! Your Shaqwelcome

My prediction, teach and commando become best friends.

s#!t, Ireland is a dope trip (I would assume, never been)...but a game in Vegas would be the s#!t

There is a reason Gard is not very well liked in many parts of the conference. Hell, several on his own team last year didn’t like him. 
 

His “make the necessary phone calls” comment is laughable. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess he will not mention the foul discrepancies or poor officiating throughout the game (season) which was in his favor. Play should’ve stopped at the whistle, but the continuation resulted in his player hurting his foot. Trey got ejected so I’m not exactly sure what he hopes would happen with his useless phone call to the league. 

Ahh, so it was his ankle, honestly I thought his knee took a weird buckle...but regardless, the foul in itself was rightfully "flagrant" by the definition that is used to determine it,, but no way near intentionally dangerous with pre determined intent, which Gards comment makes one think he is thinking.

So basically, "Get the f#&% outta here with that garbage" Gard.

Reading Gards comment on Trey's flagrant I am hoping he is not implying it was intentionally dirty. It is clear that Davis actually buckled his knee before contact AND Trey appears to let up once he realizes his arm is coming down on Davis face. Full disclosure, iam only seeing the shot they have on ESPN...but, from that it did not appear to warrant a ambiguous assumption from Gard.

Trump's man crush on Putin in his own words

I mean damn, just continues to show that people that look to Trump as the answer are mentally out and have their own personal self interests in mind over anything that could benefit them AND the people they share this planet with. Trump is playing the ignorant card on soooo many people. I have just an extremely hard time even being sympathetic to Trump supporters...you are flat out idiots.

Essentially, Trump approaches national leadership as a business opportunity and not as a leader of the people.

None at first.  Until the casualty reports started coming in regularly and the war supporters claim they were against it when they were for it. 

Comments like this is an example of people who attach themselves staunchly to a political party and alienate the majority of reasonable thinkers.

Saw a commercial for a right wing website that sells everyday merch on the premise it is to support the right. Literally want to sell "Freedom Soap" on it cause it is "Guaranteed" to wash away Liberal thoughts. Time to make $ off people!!!!

I can't wait for Putin to be on Skylark Tonight

Comparison? They are the EXACT same people. Trump is Putin. Putin is Trump. Extremely concerning and scary when you realize the number of people in this country who hold Trump in such high esteem. If we don’t end up in a violent civil war (our own) it will be an absolute miracle.

Exactly, as one of my best buddies commented about Trump supporters, "I see a Trump bumper sticker on your car, that tells me all I need to know about you"

Gotta put in the work

Oh I have

1) raised 3 step daughters who now proudly shout "GBR".

2) cleaned my Huskers license plate cover.

3) Bought a red truck to subconsciously get my northwest community members to love the color red and associate it with Nebraska (see #2).

4) Named my dog Husker (RIP Husker).

5) got my HS BBALL coach to shorten practice so I could catch the kickoff of the Fiesta Bowl vs Gators (oldie but a goodie)

6) If I see Nebraska gear, I get a "GBR" from them.

7) Coworkers who have no collegiate affiliation, at minimum know Nebraska.

8) Although I don't like it...I support Mountain Dew "Code Red".

9) The Hunt for Red October is a recognized great movie in my household. Because 9 wins is the standard.

10) Pimpin corn at any barbecue I go too.

11) Maybe have sped up to a car with a Husker logo or license plate cover to get them to see my license plate cover (see #2 and #6).

12) Legitimately gave my best friend s#!t for placing a Little Ceasers pizza box on the coffee table while getting our a$$ kicked against OSU in 07. Claimed he brought bad vibes.

13) Hold my house internet hostage on 9am (pst) gameday in that I won't start watching it til noon (beers at 9am ruin my saturday) and I don't need any "have you seen the score!?" undertones.

GBR!!!

It's fine, I'm glad you did.  We have to face where we are (recent record & history) and go from there. 

 

I look it as motivation.  Gotta put in the work.

Couldn’t disagree with this take more as it relates to NIL. 
 

The financial windfall that has come with TV money to these institutions is unbelievable. The money these coaches and administrators are getting paid is completely out of control. 
 

These kids should be able to make some money in that model. 

Then have players get compensation from that structure...TV revenue is split evenly amongst athletes relative to the sport and its revenue via TV. Playing time = bigger share of the pooled revenue or something like that. You are an All American, you get a little more, etc etc.

Allowing external agreements with businesses, etc allows for other universities to capitalize more than others simply due to alumni base and community values towards their university.

Good stuff. Similar to Costco not raising price on rotisserie chicken and food court prices. They know they are losing $ on those products but the draw of those bring people in to buy other merchandise

Then don't buy food or drink at games if it pisses you off so much. Problem solved.

If thats the case I'd advise you to never eat out anywhere. These terrible resturants and food stands making a profit. How dare they! 

Lol...should have added a "being sarcastic, I realize I will have to pay more than one would expect when buying food and beverages at a sporting event" disclaimer.

...I  think more and more young adults are waiting to start a family until they are in their late 20s or early 30s. I think it's pretty safe to say that a majority of kids out of college today are looking to make a go of it professionally, or "find themselves" existentially in some way before looking to settle down and start a family. Or maybe they just want to party their asses off!

Exactly

Are people really complaining about the cost of a soda, hot dog, and Runza at football games?  I went to a game last October, and I thought the food prices were reasonable.  Of course, I am used to paying higher prices at Denver sporting events.

I base my price point on what my grocery store charges me...long story short, I am always pissed when I have to buy s#!t at a game.

NCAA wants their cut.  Clowns.

NIL is going to destroy college sports as we know it. We are going to have so many breakout leagues from this, where championships will eventually be a defined by the 8 league team you are in and that's it. No national playoff, no national tournament...teams that have $in their alumi pipeline will do their thing with their financial peers and so on and so forth. It's just going to suck.

Loved that run....but damn...cross the goal line before flipping the ball

The NFL just needs to adjust opening weekend to ensure the Super Bowl always falls on the Sunday before Presidents day.

Call it, "All American Weekend."
