Bo Pelini’s downfall was due to a lack of commitment from admin. 
 

If Trev Alberts was AD then and gave the same vote of confidence to BP as he had SF, we would rule the West!

 

Pelini was a hot head, and his fuse was lit from within the dept.

So what's the excuse for the years with Tom Osborne as AD defending him at every turn before Eichorst was part of the equation?

This is what drives me nuts about American “media” or just social media in general.

 

The committee says the identity is to be kept private for “real” security concerns for a hearing TOMORROW!  And people are racing to be the first to expose them for no other reason than being the first person to correctly guess.

 

Hunans deserve the nonsense we put ourselves through!

Not only that, but this practice tends to dramatically overhype narratives that don't deserve it.

Nothing has been established that this person is going to be some bombshell smoking gun witness. Yet that's how we all feel just based off all these tweets and speculations in the name of 'news', isn't it?

If a fathers daughter gets raped and hides it for two months out of shame or something, and it took her a month to realize it. Every father would be onboard.

In that situation the daughter would be a minimum of 12-13 weeks pregnant.

He was fired for leading a prayer after a football game. He is a victim, at least on some levels.

Being a victim and playing the victim are two separate things, and can both simultaneously be true of someone.

Yes - go to the prayer closet instead of parading it around like the Pharisees.  Of course there is a place and time for public prayer.   In this case, a voluntary prayer of thanks after the game shouldn't be an issue.  If he was all alone and seeking attention that would be more Pharisee like.    

I think the circumstances proved that this was attention-seeking when, after being asked to do it privately (which may or may not be fair), he refused and doubled down on the insistence of doing it at the 50 yard line.

OK, how do you use CBD oil?  Do you rub it on your skin?  Swallow it?  What?

Your preference of any of the above. Topically, under your tongue, inhaling/vaping, transdermally with patches, orally via pills or oil added to food/drinks, etc. are all common.

I use it semi-regularly. I'm not really an evangelist for much of anything in the world, but I think for most people who suffer from things like what you're describing it's honestly a life-changing substance. I've felt enough benefits personally and know way too many people who have regained the ability to do x or enjoy y to ignore.

Seeing a lot of complaints about this online, but I actually agree with this decision. 

 

With the caveat that I would disagree if the coach punished players who don't participate in post-game prayer, I see no harm to anyone if this coach prays in a public place. 

 

It's been happening at Nebraska for decades and there isn't any public info that it's harmed anyone. 

 

 

Assuming this is the same coach I started a thread about a few months ago, I feel the same way in terms of that being legally protected.

But I also think that coach is hella gaslighting the situation painting himself as a victim through the events of the story and seems like a huge douche.

But in states like Nebraska they want zero abortion for any reason outside of mothers life at risk.  Even that 1% of raped women and children  will be forced to carry.

You have a source for this?

Where does that % scale come from?

 

Isn't, in this case, the social component that to be a "real football" player you need to use PED's and therefore he felt he needed to use them to fall in line and since "everybody" was using them it was okay and not really cheating?

 

No need to answer, we all know how this goes.  I was kidding, I did not think this would get more insane haha

Bro no worries I was kidding too! But just kidding the way that analogy doesn't work is PEDs has an organization categorically saying "you aren't allowed to do this" and in terms of identifying as another gender there's no controlling organization doing that. All jokes haha

I am going to quote myself but why not...If a guy can identify as a girl and so on (I am 100% for this!) why can't you just identify as a drug test passer?

 

I guess what I mean is, how could they say "no"?

No joke but there's no social component to whether you pass or fail a drug test in the same way that there's a social component to being masculine or feminine.

So to answer your question the reason you can't do that is because you can't do things that make zero sense and get away with them. Being born male anatomically and identifying as a woman isn't actually related to your anatomy and makes at least 1% of sense. If someone was born with a penis and testicles and then tried to claim, "I identify as someone that was born with a vagina", they would clearly be rightfully called out and held accountable to that.

Why are they torching pregnancy clinics? What do these clinics do that is so bad? Do they offer adoption options or something?

The answer is because they are angry. It's inexcusable and rightfully condemnable, but it's not hard to understand the why.

Bias isn't racism, though.

If you ever have any bias related to or informed by race, that is 100% racism, but depending on what the bias is and how it manifests it might be very very minor innocuous racism  

The first thing that shows up on google when you search 'bias' is 'A bias is a tendency, inclination, or prejudice toward or against something or someone.' If that definition is even tangentially related to someone's skin color, then that's at least tangentially racist.

Come on now, even when arguments get pissy, knapplc is still way more respected on this board than you are. By far.

I agree with you, which is really saying something because knapplc is pissy and unproductive in P&R conversation 90% of the time

How many sermons tomorrow morning are going to speak out against this you think?

 

It will be a bunch of double talk that the people can interpret how they wish.  Except for all the churches that will clearly celebrate it.

Also except for all the affirming and/or progressive and/or liberal and/or non-categorizeable churches.

"There's a 99% chance that I know what I'm doing"

:proceeds to not have any idea what I'm doing:

"Technically I didn't lie. There was a 1% chance and the odds worked out that way. Show me where I lied??? I didn't lie."

Well, Christians?  Where are you?  If your not for the subjugation of women, why aren’t you speaking up?  Why aren’t you leading this charge?

There's all sorts of Christians all over the country and the world speaking up about this, marching and protesting, organizing and providing resources, etc.

Seems like a fairly average pro career for a 2nd round RB

Everyone's at least a little racist. Conservatives get so butthurt about the conversation and liberals get so frothy at the mouth about the conversation because most people treat it like a yes or no thing when it's really like being hungry. Like maybe you aren't right now but a cheeseburger could cut you off on the highway and all the sudden you're pretty hungry

I know I'm a little racist because I get a little extra excited if a white receiver catches the ball in the NFL

The abortion rate actually went down after Roe v Wade. Planned Parenthood did a lot more education and contraceptive work than they ever did abortions. Making abortion illegal didn't stop abortions then and it won't now. It will just come down hard on the poor and the brown skinned, and open a nightmare of legal and judicial enforcement on agencies that can't afford the workload. It's a moral problem, sure. It's also a social and logistical problem that going to fester immediately.

 

 

For the sake of making sure we're dealing with correct info this isn't true, at least not immediately which is what the implication seems to be. Abortions ballooned after Roe V Wade, and have been on a steady downward trajectory for several decades now

Non idea. All the bullet points for Dems this fall will be Roe v Wade and gun control.

Okay so is it fair to say that when brought up transgender athletes as an example of "the problems they have real solutions to are not at the forefront of most voters top priorities", that was a pretty terrible example of whatever point you were trying to make? Because that's also not a problem/solution that is at the forefront of the Democrats top platform priorities?

Now that Roe v Wade is overturned and the “mission accomplished”, why would a “Christian” not vote to promote healthcare and reduce gun violence?

 

 

Because the democrats are satanic god-hating groomers trying to steal the soul of America.

Literally tens of millions of citizens genuinely believe this.

If most Americans support abortions before 12 weeks, and in cases of incest, rape, and health of the mother, the GOP can’t actually talk the big game any more.

Don't hold your breath. Most Americans support things like single-payer healthcare and common sense gun control measures, and the GOP doesn't give a s#!t.

High enough that Hillary commented on it and then got criticized. Maybe Hillary doesn’t matter anymore, but that is why I picked that example. 

So commenting on something is the only basis we have for how high up the list trans women competing in sports is for democratic politicians? That's pretty vague and not really useful. 

Do you think it's high enough on the list to be a bullet point on anybody's campaign website?
