      -You want to talk about radicalized violence being a problem? Fine, but let's all look in the mirror, too. Want to be better? Rise above. Be able to treat deranged criminals as just that.

      -He was a known criminal*. This was a hate crime.

      - To say lack of coverage due to it being a holiday weekend is asinine.

      Evil = Evil. People should condemn it in all forms without trying to blame a segment of society for its underlying cause thus RUSHING TO POLITICIZE it, especially in a status update on a Husker sports forum….. Its my opinion that most people don’t want to come to husker board to discuss societies ills. Personally, Id much prefer to hear about a good beer you had or whether the new Movie was crap.. Or listen to this band etc.. Opinions that bring value from an anonymous poster.......

  3. So this Higgs thing is pretty big news...potentially

      It's accepted to say 'that's gay' or 'that's retarded'. You just can't address a person as either, from what I understand.

  5. An interesting nugget from TA's post-SDSU presser: the deep passes were more just the reads on the plays, rather than the playcalls themselves. Are different reads the reason they were absent vs UCLA?

      Their "viable" 3rd option left the team early August. Tough to recruit a 3rd QB once practice has already begun. IN the Spring, we had 6, but when JS left, we had 4, then AJ Bush decided to transfer to IWCC. Tough to pin this on staff. 2 kids left once recruiting ended, one being at the last minute.

      Sorry, really. I’ve got contagious football depression. Maybe it would help if I got rid of that Squidward pic. Nah, I’ll wait until there is something to be happy about like the announcement shortly following the Iowa game....and then the next one when UCF’s games are finished. Brought a little smile to my face just thinking about it.

      I commend Stanley and Spielman having great statistical seasons, and playing hard throughout the season.  However, if either or both of them break the single season receiving yardage record, it would be an empty record to me.  I know individual records should be commended, but when they are accomplished during such poor team seasons, I find it hard tto celebrate.  I am much more of a team outcome kind of guy.

      how do you define "over there" though? you can't really. So that rules "quirk" will never go away

    4. zoogs

      zoogs

      Yeah, that's the tacky part of it. I don't know if there's a solution. It was still cheap, as far as cheap plays go.

       

      But I mean, if they have requirements about "on the line" vs "lining up behind the line", surely they could have something that requires, say, even spacing within +/- __ yards for all 5 linemen, or a reasonable cap on the distance between two offensive linemen.

  13. Donald Trump is kind of awful, isn't he? I'm struggling to find a comparison without invoking Godwin's Law. http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/12/07/donald-trump-calls-for-banning-muslims-from-entering-u-s/

      I think we should hold off on immigration until we have an actual system we are confident in. Obama has only allowed 53 Christians in since 2011, many have died. I'd rather wait for these refugees to be verified as "peaceful".

  15. Oh, man. This McMullin in Utah thing is for real. See, if Hillary and McMullin supporters could get together and decide on one candidate, they'd likely take down Trump easily combined. As it stands, Trump is poised to win with mid-to-high 30s% of the vote.

      I would say if you're indifferent to Trump or Hillary being elected -- and whether Utah carries another guy, that has almost zero chance of affecting the outcome -- you cannot with a straight face claim to be issues-focused.

      zoogs, I don't think anyone is indifferent about Trump or Hillary, I'm sure not. I absolutely do not want to see either one of them elected. Now what does that have to do with me or anyone not being focused on issues or what's best for the country? It sure isn't my fault this slate of losers is all we have to choose from. I refuse to be reduced to picking some perceived lesser of two evils even if those are the only two that have a legitimate shot.

      I really like having the fingerprint sensor. I wasn't a fan of the default touchbar mode so I switched it to just show buttons. It seems to be really customizable but I haven't felt my way around yet -- mostly I like it!

       

      Another reason I went for the touchbar model is because it's distinct in other ways from the base. Faster frequency in its RAM chips on top of a much higher CPU tier. I might trade it in for the new one which seems to be just around the corner, but...

      I'm mostly happy with it; it's a bit on the pricey end and I would anticipate the Kaby Lake models to be a meaningful step up.

      he prefaced by answering his own question. he basically asked, "your defense and offense have been bad, why are you playing bad?"

    3. Hoosker

      Hoosker

      Like I said, his wording was the stupid part. I believe he wanted to know what Lebron felt was the biggest factor to them losing the game, the offense or the defense, which isn't a stupid question at all.

    4. sd'sker

      sd'sker

      yeah. i get that. but it is a complicated question with a simple answer. they just have not been playing well enough and the spurs are a good team. but you are right. the wording is what makes is a "stupid question".

      Today I also learned that MLS is the only major US sports league that doesn't have its initials.com as a URL. Come on. How can U.S. Soccer get ahead in this world if they can't buy out MLS.com?
