TIL: Shavon Shields is the son of Husker football great Will Shields. Cool!

Jimbo Fisher on Winston: "There is no victim because there was no crime."

GOOOOOOAL! Dempsey is a joy to watch.
-
Okay, guys. Why was that not a dead ball if DPE went out of bounds as called?
-
Congratulations, you guys. It's been so long since I've had to move a post to that giant off topic thread I've forgotten what it's called and can't find it.

What in the WORLD are we going to do without Jon Stewart?

Watched Furuama for the first(?) time recently. Bender's more of a d!ck than he looks!

Women's World Cup only a week away! How do we look?

Wait. There was a movie theater shooting two weeks ago in Louisiana? Am I the only one who somehow missed this until now? Should have been huge news.

yeah, so actually, I did hear about the lion one...I can see why it's a big story, too.
I guess I've been a little busy in the past couple of weeks and I don't watch TV much. If Aurora had not happened already, though, there would have been no earthly way to miss this, right? At some point we just start to accept this as a fact of life.

Iceland have scored on FIFA #10 Austria, and saved a penalty. They could be the story of the Euros!

That dude went all Sean McDonough! https://twitter.com/TeleFootball/status/745700072596320256

I wonder how I'd feel today if I were Turkish. Support their fourth military coup of the past 100 years? Or support their autocratic, awful, dangerous but elected President?

Well well well. Defensive coordinator Ross Els comes to town this week.

"This week there was some gray area of (assistants) really not deciding where they wanted to go until the last minute," Els said. "There were either options or it was a situation where we said … I don’t know. It was just different for some reason of being a little bit unsure on where to go. I guess I don’t know why."

Ouch. I'm glad I had to miss this one. I only have one question right now, though: is Tommy OK, guys? Sounded terrifying.
-
Oh, man. What a tough loss for Nebrasketball. So close to the upset!
-
Eight-fitty?

Looks like we've got another QB. Nice!
-
Welcome, interim HC Trent Bray! That's pretty cool.

Coach Pops continues to be such an inspiring voice and model of leadership in sports. Such class!

Ah, I see. I guess I don't follow the NBA nearly close enough to be aware of anything other than Pop's commentary on broader social issues.
Are private role models any better than public role models? I think all that's needed is some realism when it comes to models. They aren't unimpeachable, but there are specific things about them that we can find very admirable. Sometimes they themselves don't live up to the stands they set. Such is human, and we (may) change our views on them accordingly.
Something I really appreciate about Pop is how effectively he can reach such a broad spectrum of people. It's his unique position as a powerful figure in sports. He (and Steve Kerr) can say the same things that, say, if it were some young minority journalist penning an op-ed for HuffPo they might be reflexively attacked as some kind of SJW.
Pop's position commands respect from those same people, and he's using it to provide really valuable leadership. He shows that you can be someone in his shoes and "get it", in what appears to be a thorough and heartfelt way.

Just saw a replay of that fake PAT. Holy smokes they HAD us. And it would have been good but for the wind catching what would almost certainly have been a scoring throw. We are VERY lucky. We have a W now, that's all that matters, but that W should be Iowa State's today. A clap for the broken-hearted Clone fans who really deserved another upset of NU.
-
There's no need to panic. This team is holding up fine against legit BCS competition. Also, we're gonna win.
-
LMAO, one of these B1G CCG announcers is really excitable...

I think this year makes an excellent case for the +1 system.

I think you want to minimize rewarding the teams that don't deserve to be there. So maybe Stanford gets in undeservedly. But Oregon doesn't really deserve to be there, either. Is the solution to say "OK, they're in. Let's get a whole bunch of equivalent teams in, too"? I think when you list those teams, you have LSU, Bama, OSU...then all these other guys.

Hey, everyone - if you could please confirm to me that I haven't broken Huskerboard's index page by responding to this status, it'd be great! Also, donor icons now up.
