One poster on the board keeps saying there is no Antifa, yet the tweeter says she is an Antifa operative based on the @ handle. I wonder which of the two is wrong 

I doubt this mystery poster is actually saying there is no antifa, compared to something like antifa being a non-organized decentralized movement, but either way, your pondering about whether or not a twitter username existing means that the thing actually exists in the real world is very funny.

Does this twitter account make you wonder if there really is a Lizard Kanye?

Any rational person watching the film of both teams can only come to one conclusion 94-95 Nebraska was dominate like no team before and since. The 93-97 was a pretty solid fun maybe only bettered by OU’s  47 game win streak in the 1950s

95 yes. 94 no.

this thread is more entertaining than the actual tweets

The issue I have, I have stated multiple times.  With NIL and free agency, transfer portal, it is no longer "college" football. Feel free to continue to disagree.  I am moving on.  I don't like it.  

It hasn't been "college" football for a long time, way before NIL.

The aspect of the student athlete.  Kids staying and playing with one school.  There has always been transfers, but NIL and the portal makes the game "all about me".  Mercenaries playing for the highest bidder.

Okay so when you say it has ruined football you mean it has ruined something other than football. 

There are at least 10,000 D1 football players any given year. This year by far having the most players in the portal ever at 3600, 63% of players are still staying put. 

Obviously it's chaotic right now, and hopefully we all come back to earth a bit in terms of sensibility with NIL and players not making poor decisions for themselves (Luke McCaffrey), but what's the actual problem here other than "It's not how we used to do it and I don't like it?"

If the influx of too much money is the problem, then NIL shouldn't be the thing you point to that "ruined football". The massive media contracts and astronomically ballooning coaching salaries were the first dominos that led us here.

Seriously?  You think I was referring to the actual on the field performance.  A student athlete isn't getting paid $13 million to go to a school....

You said it ruined football.

What are you referring to when you say football if not the game played on the field?

It's an arms race that has ruined football.  Unfortunately, that train has left the station.  No idea how to get it back....

Weird, I remember seeing the same amount of football in 2022 and it looked like the same football as the several years before it.

Entirely unnecessary but done well enough if they insist they must.

These things with sports franchises drive me crazy.  OK Bears, if you want to own it, put up the money?  So often, the city does something like this only to have the franchise move out of the city.

It's incredibly frustrating and disheartening to see pro franchise hold their own cities hostage and operate with absolutely zero care for the city or the fans. A lot of the time it's even in a situation where the stadium they have is still a nice, perfectly adequate and quality stadium.

In an ideal world you wouldn't be able to claim the name of a city if you go out and ransom suburban taxpayers to build your stadium 20 miles away from the actual city.

It's not out of the realm of possibilities that you get violated by a posse of rainbow painted unicorns on DMT and then traverse up a pyramid only to find an empty Wendy's bag

Question….if CRT isn’t taught in schools, why is everyone so frothy about banning it?  

"How to Maintain Power 101" includes key lessons about creating an undefined enemy to be afraid of, as fear is the most powerful and easily hijacked emotion we have.

The last few pages got me pondering this again. What has gone so horribly wrong in this country that we have so many complete whackadoos in elected office and so many people that eagerly vote for them? Seriously.

 

My first thought was to place a lot of blame on our schools and education system but that doesn’t begin to explain it. There are too many people I went to school with that had basically the same teachers and education I did yet many of them are just as crazy and willingly vote for some of these Rs. Next thought is social media, Facebook and the like with all the targeted misinformation. But once again it does not affect everyone the same.

 

Really any attempt to explain how so many go off the deep end would be appreciated. These crackpot conspiracies and illogical actions have to have a source, a reason, some type of explanation. The R party is so utterly bats#!t there has to be an explanation.

The powerful systems have reached a critical level of understanding/efficiency on what tools work and how to use them to successfully co-opt our deepest instinctual habits and we're hopeless to resist.

The party of fiscal responsibility

 

 

So not only are the opposed to strengthening the agency which helps enforce fiscal responsibility, they're being fiscally irresponsible in doing so? 

A rare double self-own.

Dude, the more I see/hear/read about crypto the more it seems like a total scam.

Crypto is a technology/tool that great utilities and scams can take advantage of.

People felt similarly about the .com bubble, and yeah, there were a lot of scams and fools good involved. But we're still on a website that ends in .com 25 years later.

I coached with a dude like you and I LOVED him!  Power I..QB sneak on second down, on third down, bootlegs off playaction and...wait for it...the TE Pop Pass!

I've always wanted to see an old school coach at the P5 level that teaches power football, and every single time they have less than a yard to go anywhere on the field they just qb sneak it. Every time. Every game. Doesn't matter.

Like @Guy Chamberlin said, all we know for sure is the world would be a better place if we try to make it a better place for the people who are here.

This is common parlance for "your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven". That's what it means. Very cool that it's an opportunity to participate and manifest our highest ideals around us.

Brewington would've been a good fit for sure. You can take a few walk-ons in case one of them turns into Andy Janovich, but yeah otherwise you just make sure you're athletic TEs get some reps as H-Backs. It's a good way to get mismatches in the passing game for guys like Fidone and Carnie too.

 

He also told reporters to go back and look at their first play of the season when he was at UT-Chattanooga against us - spoiler, it's a FB dive. We also started this game off with a FB dive.

 

That was Tim Beck's first ever drive as an OC. I remember being beyond excited with the news/info of the offense he was going to run and then we went ahead and had the fastest and lamest 3 and out for an OC's first drive ever hahaha.

I did love his scheme though.

Come to think of it, mothers that lose infants should be pissed off.

 

They dream of starting a family for possibly decades.  Go through nine months of pregnancy.  Mood swings, home remodels, job changes, and everything else that goes with it.  Just so God can change his mind and "call that baby home".

 

God is pro-choice!

Nah, mothers should be happy because that kid has a 100% chance of going to heaven, but if they lived and grew into adulthood and accountability, odds are overwhelmingly against them never getting saved and going to hell.

My thing about the power of prayer is that it inherently implies that the kid in the next room who died of leukemia was less worthy of a miracle.

Can transfer take as many visits as they want to?  Also I know Nebraska doesn't want to put all their eggs in a basket with transfers but definitely would help they can grab a tight end, another wr and some more offense and defense lineman.  Kinda surprised Nebraska hasn't gotten more guys from the transfer portal.

There's still time.

Casey and Trey didn't decide to transfer here until Jan 7/8 last year.
