  1. Whip's performance on Saturday was very akin to Bill Callahan trying to throw with Beau Davis against TT in '04, or throwing 50 times when we had four great runningbacks in 0 degree weather against OU in '06.
  2. I remember when I was 5 or 6 and I realized that the rules and recommendations for adults and for little kids are different.
  3. Didn't figure I was late since you never actually acknowledged that your assumption was a baseless one.
  4. You just agreed and affirmed that being anti-semitic and being critical of the nation of Israel aren't the same thing. @funhusker tried finding examples of being anti-semitic and has so far only found examples of being critical of the nation of Israel. I also just spent some time looking for examples of the former and only finding examples of the latter. So I and others are curious what is leading you to attribute statements seemingly related to the nation state to instead be secretly referring to Jewish people in a racist way?
  5. Being anti-semitic and being critical of the nation of Israel aren't the same thing. It's important you understand that because that's a pretty simple distinction that elementary school students can understand.
  6. Whipple deserves the most blame for the loss of anyone although there's plenty to go around to different parties. He refuses to make the game easier for his players, or to even entertain the idea of establishing the run (which we were having success with in the half dozen times he reluctantly agreed you can't throw it deep on EVERY play). The way to win against a team like Illinois when you're outmanned is score early, get one stop and one more score and force them to be behind schedule. We had that opportunity, but Whip scheming 'too smart' and Casey not playing smart enough made it impossible.
  7. Adidas gives us way, way, way more money than Nike ever would. Not gonna happen.
  8. Football players at every college in America understand that their coaches are trying to recruit them out of their positions on the depth chart. Not an issue.
  9. He just went for the most yards in a game in school history and we lost, so no, I don't think so.
  10. Comments like that in a "news" article should be huge red flags. Another big red flag is that the article does not have an author, the author is listed as the website itself. If people are interested they should go straight to the source which is the paper cited, and honestly just ignore the commentary from the article because in one sentence it revealed itself as being an untrustworthy source.
  11. imagine how insane and hilarious it is trying to take a question like '...up to the day before birth' seriously 'I support taxes' 'Does that mean that you are ok with people being taxed 99.999999999999% of their money or am i reading you wrong?'
  12. "On another note - was I right about..." "Trust me - I live in South Louisiana and I'm very familiar with MJ." "This is exactly why I said..." "Which is exactly why I said in the very beginning that ..." "It has nothing to do with "validation" -- it has to do with the point that I called for it, literally minutes before it happened." "I made the call last night right before he came in the game and started making plays. Why is it so hard for some of you to give props to fellow Husker fans?" "Nothing new. I said the same thing back when Riley was hired and people laughed and told me what a great hire he was and how I was in denial and how his past players all loved him and how he'd excel with all of our extra resources." "and again I was laughed at and told I was in denial" "Some of the same folks who told me in I was in denial last year when I said... are now in here saying the exact same things I was saying then." "I said from the start we need a..." "I’ve been ridiculed from the beginning for saying we need a ..." No need to pretend that your clownish main character syndrome isn't readily on display for everyone to see.
  13. In the running for the most delusional post I've seen on HB.
  14. This series has the best writing of any Star Wars live action property ever, and it's not close. Also really appreciate that they decided to film on location for a good chunk of it instead of trying to use the volume stage for things it's not good at.
  15. There's plenty of room for learning legitimate skills in head coaching, but at the end of the day you either have it or you don't and your amount of experience doesn't really answer if you do.
  16. Frost was a great hire at the time. 20/20 hindsight after the fact of a coach failing has no bearing on whether they were a great hire or the right hire at the time. The most educated and genius football minds to ever exist couldn't have predicted how Frost would have turned out.
  17. For Nebraska, in recent memory, Bo was a near unanimous #1 amongst the fanbase and was the person Tom sought out. Then when he was fired, there was no clear favorite choice outside of the brief 'JIM TRESSEL WAS IN LINCOLN' hilarity where we all got suckered into a groupthink spiral of delusion. Then Frost was obviously the only candidate last time around. There is no one single person who makes sense the way that Bo and Frost did this time, and in addition to that a lot of the fanbase is suffering from PTSD and are now too scared to think we can take a risk on anything other than a proven guaranteed choice, which doesn't actually exist, so they have to convince themselves that X is actually safe and dependable and guaranteed.
  18. Most don't. It's a very challenging predicament - kids and more specifically teenagers very often embody tissue paper in a slight breeze, blown any direction on a whim by a powerful neurochemical cocktail of all sorts of developing impulses. It's legitimately impossible to legislate a good solution because the answers will be different and unique to many, and the only good path forward for any individual is having good parents to help guide them through and know when something is more than a phase or less than a permanent identity crisis. But the idea that there are vast, or even a notable amount, of parents actively WANTING that for their kids is an asinine accusation. Parents that don't push back against gender-blurring norms? Maybe, sure, especially from a more conservative social point of view. But parents actively pushing for their kids to be trans or queer ala Johnny Moxon's dad in Varsity Blues? Please. There's no shortage of bad parenting out there, and there's no exception for parents of trans kids, but unengaged parents not taking it seriously are a far graver and more prominent problem than activist parents trying to cut off their kids genitals. I think in part because the LGBTQ community is barely something that could even be called a community and is itself not even close to united on anything let alone any particular issue.
  19. I actually agree with all of this except that I would still maintain it is a tiny and loud minority, which doesn't dismiss the idea that there is a lot of power and weight to it. 100% agree. This is very much how I live in the real world and surround myself with friends and acquaintances I feel able to battle with re: ideas. I don't lean into it much on here because there seem to be very few people ready to explore in good faith, and the attempts get drowned out and pushed to previous pages too quickly by the trolls, ideologues and obstinate folks.
  20. Our line is god awful, but I think the 2005 line is definitely the worst by far and any other claim is a far, far second place.
  21. My ideal quarterback is a good one. Casey and Adrian are both really good. Very comparable.
  22. You claimed that they aren't "even remotely on the same playing field as passers". I showed you that through 6 games at the same school at the same age with some of the same players and some of the same coaches their numbers are almost identical. I'd say by definition that qualifies as being at least 'remotely' close.
  23. You're looking at his fifth year at Kansas State.
  24. Rs are now positing that being critical of Israel and being anti-semitic are the same thing?
