  1. Until it's actually a real scenario, and your job security and the success of your outlet having access to keep reporting on the entity with all the power to shut you out doesn't take kindly to your noble crusade. Look, I get it. I would like to see plenty more uncompromising journalism across the entirety of the country and also in specific relation to NU football, where the overwhelming majority of outlets and reporters do little more than serve as positive mouthpieces for the university. But everything else you're going into is just...idk, I don't want to be dismissive and condescending but it's all a bit too wacky. There are a million reasons why the narrative of Betts' heart not being in it is the true occam's razor answer. There are also hypothetical reasons that there could be more to the story. At the end of the day, you/we don't know the answer and can either decide to base our conclusions off the info presented, or base our conclusions based off of speculation that isn't rooted in anything at all.
  2. The blue piping around the number for one, and the shoulder stripes include the inscriptions on the four corners of Memorial. Subtle is best overall but I hear what you're saying. However, we don't know what the rest of the uniform looks like - might include some interesting flourishes on the pants/helmets/gloves as well.
  3. Curious what the story is there, and more curious why the hell you need 30 cops for... a kid matching a description.
  4. I honestly love all of these - the helmet stripe additions are such a nice touch and incorporation too. I'd buy a shirt with that corn cross skull immediately.
  5. I would like the immigrants to bring all their public transit and high speed rail good ideas over here faster plz
  6. How on earth is Funplex still a place? That was a pathetic excuse for a water/amusement park even when I was a kid 20 years ago
  7. Assimilation, then. What do you mean by it, especially if it's not defined culturally?
  8. Still trying to figure out exactly what is meant by cultural assimilation.
  9. The reason the conversation around Biden is in regards to crime is because the GOP isn't trying to constantly go after Biden and impeach him on ethical grounds - they're desperately trying to find criminal grounds to do so. That's the lane that his opposition is taking, so that's the lane that is relevant to the conversation. It's in context to Trump - both in regards to the people going after them, and in regard to the people defending them. After years of opposition to Trump based on ethical and moral grounds being met with indifference or even celebration and a lack of acknowledgment on the part of his supporters and party, the opposition turned to criminal grounds. That's why the conversation is framed that way now. I'm sure there's unethical elements to Joe's situation with his son/burisma/ukraine, and I'm sure there's all sorts of unethical compromising and special interest influence throughout his long career. But you, as a two time active Trump supporter and still-current GOP champion, helped usher us into the era where ethical violations mean absolutely jack s#!t and the only card left to play is criminal violations. For the record i'm not in any way whatsoever a Joe Biden fan, I'm just entirely opposed to Trump and the current iteration of the GOP and happier with the more sane, less criminal, less debaucherous alternative.
  10. If it's not illegal then good on Thomas for being a shrewd self-serving sycophant and getting the bag, and shame on him for taking this avenue to do it. If it's not illegal then it's still at least a big alarm bell exposing the fact that we need to have some very intentional and thought out reforms and rules put in place to protect the court and the country from the court.
  11. Rutgers was added at a time when the most valuable thing you could offer was your geographical placement within a large media market - their addition added millions and millions and millions of value to the conference being able to negotiate getting BTN on cable/satellite packages in the NY area and having everyone living there, whether they watched Rutgers or not, foot the bill.
  12. How would you describe american cultural assimilation outside of language?
  13. This is a garbage and disingenuous argument. Quarterbacks get hurt, especially in running schemes. If you look at our school and you look at most schools across the country, having a starting quarterback get injured isn't an uncommon experience.
  14. hahaha oops for some reason i was counting 10. long day i'll see myself out
  15. So will there end up being 22 total single digit jersey players?
  16. I do miss the good ole days of Bo Pelini's Quarterback Graveyard
  17. 12 is actually great from a fan perspective. I was also of the opinion that it shouldn't be bigger than 8, but when you think about it, having it at 12 with the top 4 having byes gives us a much higher chance of good and close games in the postseason.
  18. This is great - one of the rare times that you can look at the NCAA and say 'you did this exactly right'. First rounds on campus are going to create some unprecedented electric environments, as well as no longer than 10 days between games.
  19. sigh...I understand messageboard posters leaning into narratives like this, but why does the media feel so eager to? There was never a time that we "didn't tackle in practice". Except for some practices individually, which every team has to differing degrees. Riley's teams tackled in practice, Frost's teams tackled in practice too.
  20. I'm going to continue giving Rhule plenty of room to breathe and struggle at the beginning of a total rebuild, but man he makes it tough by doing and saying all the right things every step of the way. He asks a lot of his players but he's not asking anything of them that he isn't doing himself - being the hardest worker, not making excuses, continuing to strive and grind every time he could relax. GBR
  21. Why do you suppose the headline doesn't say 'Man Who Pledged a Donation Once Arrested for Renting Apartment to Tenant'?
