Offensive line is the one position group that is by far the most difficult to just get mercenaries to come in and make it great. As an athletically elite skill player Deion has never understood and continues to fail to understand the importance of development of the lines as a key ingredient to football success. He's also falling into the classic and predictable dilemma that makes star players so often be terrible coaches. Because he was so innately gifted athletically, his narrative is that wanting it enough magically results in being amazing and there's nothing more to it, so when confronted with his players not being amazing he thinks that means that they don't care enough.

At this point, bowl eligibility is a very attainable goal and even a likely one. Anything beyond that (honestly anything beyond 3-4 wins) is gravy and bonus and ahead of schedule. Our remaining four games are all winnable individually, but to win all of them collectively would be a herculean effort that would be incredible but I'm not holding my breath hoping for.

I wonder if we'll ever see any actual evidence of this black son existing.

Common sense easily leads to being against the death penalty. Too many people wrongly murdered by the government, and it's more expensive than just keeping them locked up.

A few reasons. Partly similar to how you can't buy alcohol in sundays in a lot of places; that is, a remnant of the judeo-christian influence on legislation in the history of our country. Also partly to protect women - most notable examples of polygamy ended up with crazy power dynamics and was rife with abuse, and also often leads to a surplus of young, angry men unable to find a partner because the rich and powerful have snatched them all up (see, incels). Get the government out of marriage altogether and everyone's got the right to make themselves as miserable as they want to be with how they live and who they do it with.

well-regulated militia = HELL YEAH! gun regulations = wait no f#&% you something like that?

I'm glad to see Israel grow in their intelligence so quickly. Less than a month ago they had no intel or clue about Hamas' locations or any activity or upcoming attacks and now they seem to quickly assembled a useful amount of knowledge of everything they need to kill them off.

Could Logan Smothers have been better than HH? Maybe. Next.

And in the rare times that someone overpursues or doesn't square up, their presence causes enough of a delay that when the ball carrier makes a move and beats them there's 4-6 other red jerseys there cleaning up. You absolutely love to see it.

I recently just saw a video of the front guy from The Butthole Surfers shooting a shotgun on stage at Lollapalooza in Chicago in the 90's - wild times.

There's no easy answers here. By that I mostly mean, "there are no solutions that don't include a level of unfairness to some amount of people". There's also seemingly very little chance for it to ever actually get resolved peacefully and genuinely. But, if it were, it would necessitate the removal of Hamas organizationally and the removal of Israel's blockades and also occupation of large swaths of land that hundreds of thousands of Palestinian families had lived on for hundreds of years and they were displaced from.

I really love this defense. Feels like the 90's with how many hats swarm to the ball and how the looks are so aggressive and in your face pre-snap.

How do you legislate the distinction and have it not be discrimination?

Which position coach are you getting rid of?

His entire shtick is claiming to be a lib and then criticizing everything liberal and/or woke, and has been for a long time. I am not familiar with him pre the 2010s so for me it's kind of the opposite; I missed the memo of when he ever had actual liberal leanings.

Tebow made a living off of this very thing in his college years.

What's the technology on the sideline in high school he's referring to? Been a long time since I've gone to a high school game and even then they were D1 and D2 Nebraska games.

Huh, count me in the camp of also never knowing that the field was slightly off center.

Same thing when Martinez got offseason help from Calhoun. People used it as an indictment against Tim Beck, while conveniently failing to realize that the same qb guru worked with Heisman trophy winner Jameis Winston the year before and it's a common practice for great quarterbacks as much as good all-the-way-down to bad ones. I won't stand for this Gene Chizik erasure.

He didn't actually say that and when asked a follow up with a chance to be clear he chose not to, but it was interesting to see the comments off the cuff. He probably would like to switch but understands how it would piss off a lot of legacy ticket holders.

Cool thanks, so if I'm understanding your heel digging properly, you think that in 2023 we are still very much trending downward right?

I'm out of my depths in this conversation but one legislative aid that would presumably help somewhat would be some sensible limits or guidelines surrounding wall street and companies like AirBnB buying up huge swaths of homes everywhere.

I don't think this is what you're saying so I'm not saying this to you directly, but T-Mart was never as bad a passer as people made him out to be then or now. He was raw and swimming in the offense his freshman year, but he showed how high his ceiling was as a passer against Oklahoma State (not only were the numbers good but he looked really good slinging it around that day). Then the high ankle sprain, but then on top of that he was dealing with debilitating turf toe all his sophomore year (the infamous "How to Throw the Perfect Pass with Taylor Martinez" youtube video is from this year and the ugly nature of it is very related to the turf toe). His improvement in 2012 was mostly related to proper footwork (very little coaching on his arm mechanics) via his offseason qb guru and the first time he'd been in the same offensive system for more than a single season.

That happened Jan 1, 2009 at the end of the 2008 season. Look at your chart and notice that the lines before and going towards 2008 show Nebraska going up and Clemson going down. I'm really not even 1% angry and I had a really fun weekend. I genuinely asked how you figured what you said, and then you responded by changing your argument (and then changing it again). Now like Mavric said, depending on what scale of time you're looking at you can make any argument you want, but if you're going to say from 2000 and then show this graph, at the very least Clemson has virtually no 'program on the rise' upward trend from 2000-2008 and at best you'd only be half right with that added and not-clear-at-the-start reference window. You even admitted as much:

You said when Bo beat Clemson, not after. But to answer the initial question, both programs went through a few years of being on the rise, jumping in and out of the top 10, with some big wins and some big losses. It took until 8 years after that Gator Bowl for Dabo to surpass Pelini's win percentage and for them to jump up into the 'great' category. So when you said "When Bo Pelini beat Dabo we were a program in decline and they were a program on the rise." did you actually mean "8 years after Bo Pelini beat Dabo, in 2015, we were a program in decline and they were a program on the rise."...?
