  1. HAPPY NEW YEAR! I think we got a good coach, you guys!

      Meh.  He'll have to do.  (J/K!!)

  2. Hard fought. Good game. Good series, Oregon!

      Z...you sound like a Minnesota fan.

      Our game, ED! It could've gotten really ugly. Obviously try not to get punched in the mouth at first, but it's also about how you respond when you do -- and how they'll build from here. This has been a really entertaining home-and-home. 

       

      Not the best result, of course, but I think they're made of the right stuff.

      I had higher hopes. Happy they didn't give up but not happy they didn't show up. I do agree the games will be interesting but most of them probably way more interesting than they should be.

  3. Here's a fun sentence: "Syria has decided to sign the Paris agreement on climate change, the world’s final functioning state to do so."

      This status update seems vaguely political.

      the worlds final functioning state?   i think there is another country that erased their signature.  or is that state not considered functioning anymore?

    3. zoogs

      Ah, that's right: the US is excluded because it did sign but has not yet withdrawn.

       

      I do apologize for the vaguely political tweet; it seemed like an extremely notable development and observation, though. US aside, I knew there were "a lot" of signatories to the Paris climate treaty. I didn't know it was literally everybody

      That one's pretty cool

  5. How are people going to afford to go get doctorates? :( I completely do not see how it's going to be possible, unless you're already quite wealthy (or have no choice but to be poor)

      Good thing you found yourself a sugar momma Zoo.  I've said jokingly recently that one of the criteria for me and dating would be that a man have health insurance ... not joking about it anymore.  It will be as important as being kind, loving football, having a full mouth of decent teeth and making me laugh.

      @jaws, I think that really glosses over how much of a difference this tax bill makes. Taxing people who are living on 10-30k stipends as if they made 40-60k more than that is not "hey just another log on the fire".

      My apologies everyone, but it would be best to move this conversation to the Politics & Religion forum. Thank you.

  6. JD! Hecks yeah!

  7. Look what you made me do.

      @1995 Redux, this is from a movie called "Star Wars" :P

      Yeah, but it looks weird

      Ah, yeah. I wanted to get both Finn and Rey's outstretched hand.

  8. Man. Don't do this to Eli.

      1) I don't actually feel that (see: emoji). I think it was fairly obvious I was joking.

       

      2) If I wanted to "score a point for reverse racism", there are thousands of much better (actual) examples  I could find.

       

      3) The Giants are still dumb for thinking Geno will be better than Eli.

      Laugh...just once.

      At first I was like, "yeah I could see Eli getting benched".  Then I was all like "Geno Smith?  Aw hell naw".

  9. Off-topic: I love 'The Weeds', one of the Vox podcasts. Matt Yglesias is one of my favorite commentators on Twitter, and from his picture I definitely did not expect his voice to be....uh, that high. It's so amusing to listen to him talk, especially when he gets really animated. Smart, funny, excitable dude :P

      He is funny, great sense of humor and does a good job even laughing at himself.  

  10. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel S1 just got released on Amazon Prime! Promising pilot earlier this year.

  11. There are three Top 10 teams remaining on the schedule. We already have two losses. Buckle up

      The board should add 100 points of rep points that said that 7-5 or worse would be the record.  :-)

      Buckle up for what?  This season is what it is and we have known that since week 2 but week 3 for sure.  

  12. Welcome, interim HC Trent Bray! :) That's pretty cool.

      I'd take that tbh

      I mean, if for some reason they strike out on a number of choices, we could do worse than keep Bray around. Obviously I don't expect that to happen. We'll get Frost.

  13. Well hello, Kyrie.

  14. WMU-BUF 53-53 in 4OT. Wow

  15. Woah! Is this the first ever early signing day? Grats to the newest Huskers!

      Me either.  I couldn’t figure out how signing could work without a designated sign day?

      @ladyhawkeThey meant verbal commitment, like the kid a few years ago who committed to USC(to Lane Kiffen) in like 7th grade.  It's getting younger and younger every year even if it means absolutely nothing at the time other than some free publicity.

    4. ladyhawke

      Oh, ok HuskerInLostWages. Thanks. 

  16. Wow, the post-Bannon era has been such a fresh start and pivot to decency.

      Hey, at least the crowds were decent, right?

      Such big crowds and so many sports jerseys

      Well, Cleveland Phoenix is a sports town, after all.

      I tried that at a bar once. You'd think I had unleashed a banshee.

      Peyton has to be so pissed that Eli has two titles, Peyton being the GOAT QB while Eli is merely a very good QB

      Also about the H2H with Brady.

      I think Denver is ok, as long as they stop being stupid. Seriously...you pick up a guy off waivers and insert him into your kickoff return just like that?! Denver would've killed SD if they weren't so busy killing themselves for 30 minutes.

      I do know the USDA shutdown many offices across the country today because of some threat....

      @LOMS, after 9/11 the US declared a state of national emergency, which confers certain powers to for example the executive branch as necessary in crisis.

       

      That crisis has been ongoing for closing in on twenty years now. And so have these crisis-time authorities.

      Whenever 9/11 and Bush are mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is the frozen deer in the headlights president in a room full of kids. I know I know, he was just thinking real real hard. There was smoke.

  22. "Crooked __________ [and team] 'were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.' Not fit!" Fill in the blank.

      It's obvious, zoogs is referring to Tom Brady and inflategate.
