  1. As I understand it, Russia said it's either this or nothing and the guy's family seems to understand and support the decision.
  2. Best writing Star Wars has ever had. And I mean ever. What a great series - I'm absolutely shocked it actually made it out of the Disney machine.
  3. The questions about Hunter being investigated by people on this board are almost entirely not questions about why he's being investigated but questions and mockery about why the GOP cares so much and how lame their constant spinning is. Edit: Actually after a cursory glance using the search function it's very easy to find several posters (who critical thinking can tell us are the ones being referenced) explicitly saying they're fine with Hunter being investigated, and...really zero questions about why he's being investigated. I'll add myself to the list. I'm fine with Hunter being investigated and charged if there's evidence of crimes. Something tells me that literally nobody is anything other than fine with that.
  4. So many people have stories of getting hit with batteries and bags of urine and having their cars keyed or tires punctured. It's all very infamous...enough so that about 95% of it is bulls#!t.
  5. He was offered the Packers DC job two years ago and said no.
  6. The next poster after you just said "But I’m disgusted now and it does change the way I view our program’s history.", which is kind of at least part of the purpose. For me, I've personally been duped and seen too many others duped into whitewashed versions of history and glowing admiration for supposed heroes way too many times. Recognizing and naming and holding space for all of the dark and ugly parts of history is part of the process of going forward in a way that's healthy. Also, bored and posting on a messageboard for no purpose other than entertainment lol.
  7. I'm using both current standards and the standards of the time. TO's meddling with the law, recruiting troubled kids with the narrative of being an off-the-field mentor and savior but the practicality of using them to win, and lenient punishments/excuses for serious offenses aren't only a black stain from a modern lens - they were a violation of cultural standards of the time as well; hence the infamous SI article and plenty others: https://www.spokesman.com/stories/1997/sep/20/trouble-at-the-top-nebraskas-tom-osborne-has-seen/ https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-11-09-sp-973-story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1995/09/13/nebraska-tarnished-by-trouble/f8c79be9-280a-496e-a172-3821bf941b84/
  8. Mathis' production was in line with his previous three years.
  9. Just as a technical aside... pornographic material is not actually against twitter's ToS (current or past afaik), but posting stuff like that without consent of the person categorically is. But, yes. In terms of censorship, the two points of criticism are that A. twitter obliged Biden's campaign's requests to not allow Hunter's nudes to be posted (as well as obliging the White House/Trump in similar ways) and that B. twitter stopped the sharing of the NYP story about the laptop due to a policy of not allowing info acquired via hacking to be distributed.
  10. Taylor had a vintage Husker defense in 2010 - 9th in the nation in points allowed. We would have been Big XII champs if it wasn't for Mike Caputo stomping on his ankle in the A&M game. Then we would've played UCONN in the Fiesta Bowl - likely a 12-2 season.
  11. On the contrary, moving on doesn't mean moving on from everything, but moving on to something more interesting, or at least something relevant to the topic of censorship. We don't know what's on his laptop, and it's in the hands of the FBI being investigated. Speculation about the contents of the laptop itself is, in addition to being boring, off-topic.
  12. Imagine the worst case scenario result of what is on Hunter Biden's laptop and what it means. Now imagine how even after the worst case scenario it's still absolutely mundane in comparison to the new established standards of unethical behavior re: politicians and their kids. Then go ahead and move on with your day.
  13. The issue isn't so much that this stuff happened under his watch (I mean, that is still an issue, but not the one being focused on right now); it's moreso that TO perpetuated a myth that he and this place were different, and that we all happily ignored inconvenient truths to believe it. It's one thing to protect sexual assault felons and players charged with attempted manslaughter - it's another to from the same mouth espouse that we run an ethical, noble, stoic, Christian program without stain. "More Than Winning". And what was best for himself to be successful and stay on top. Would we have been winning championships at all if we weren't recruiting ethically dubious kids?
  14. Then why were these things issues back then? There was an entire sports illustrated article about it....back then. Yes.
  15. Anthony Grant's disappearance happening at the same time as Frost's departure is not a coincidence imo.
  16. "I don't tell Tom Osborne how to run the football department," Lancaster County Attorney Gary Lacey says, "and he should stay out of the criminal justice system. He hasn't done that at all."
  17. For all the good Osborne's done and the good qualities he possesses as a person, which are plenty, he really bought into his own hype so much in a way that resulted in too much damage and carnage to others.
  18. Sounds great to me. But one is more foundational than the other.
  19. Programs that develop well but don't recruit well still occasionally win conference championships and have top 15 finishes (Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas State, Utah) For examples of programs that recruit well but don't develop well... look at 5-7 Texas A&M this year and 5-7 Texas in 2010.
  20. It was also partly due to Whipp's scheme. The man just has no desire to even try to have an effective run game. Really wasted all of the install of Frost's orbit motion/read option game and had absolutely zero creativity to try and counteract our lack of physicality.
  21. idk man. I'll watch the Iowa win highlights on youtube for years. Don't think I'll be regularly pulling up Mickey's mugshot or Priscilla's instagram posts
