It’s a petty comment, trying to piss on their win. Remember, at the end of the day, these are college kids. A senior redeems his earlier miss. Why shouldn’t he celebrate? Guess our guys should’nt have celebrated in the snow last week because we beat Michigan state. If anything, it was our bowl game, given our record.

They’ve beat us 4 years in a row. Comments like this should really stop until results change.

Agreed. I think absolutes are a terrible argument. Do I think some of the 2016-2017 spike was due to trump winning the election? Or his tax bill? Yes. But I also think the recent decline has something to do with his antics and less to do with deteriorating fundamentals, which id argee are still quite strong.

Haven’t looked this bad since Michigan.

And you act like it has been going steadily down since February. It hasn’t. Edit: removing more pointed comments. Out of line. This thread just shows how split this country is. The market is not as simple as who is in office. People dug in on both sides and making horrible arguments on both sides.

It is completely disingenuous to consider Agriculture a major part of the economy. Agriculture accounts for less than 2% of GDP. Less than 2%. You could make the argument that when you include food and related industries it takes you to a whooping 5%, but even then that is minuscule in comparison to other sources of GDP. The main source is consumer spending (~80% contribution to GDP). Consumer confidence just peaked in September, notching an 18 year high. October numbers looked good and preliminary, key word on preliminary, figures for November fell less than expected. Consumer spending was also up in October.This bodes quite well for a strong holiday season where names like TGT will more than likely have strong Q4 earnings. Im up for wagering a friendly bet on the name, if you are so willing. I didn't ignore anything with regards to your comment about company reports, in fact I provided a pretty solid retort, with statistics to back it up. To be honest, I think that is another disingenuous argument, throwing out that some companies have had bad reports? What reports are you even talking about? Quarterly earnings? Well, yeah, every single quarter some companies miss expectations, that's the nature of this game. However, I'd like to reiterate that 80% of companies beat estimates; that figure is well above the 5 year trend. Even more impressive is the fact that companies surprised on the upside by nearly 7%, once again above the 5- and 10-year average. Sales growth at close to 10% y-o-y, which once again would beat expectations and take us to levels last seen in 2010, which would be higher given the fact we were just coming out of a recession. As for crashing the markets, we've still only had 3 down months this year and are flat for the year. Volatility was also extremely low during the summer was quite low while Europe was trying to figure their S out, granted it has picked up recently. Trade wars are what people clamor to, I get it. It is an easy excuse for corporations to throw out there when they miss earnings. Its the same way when the dollar rises compared to other currencies, they will just blame a stronger USD for poor performance even if they're hedged back against it. I understand what you were refuting and I'd agree that mid-term's aren't the culprit for market declines. I just disagree with the rationale for how you got there! Like I said, would love for Trump to stay of twitter, let the fed do its job and quit giving Saudi's the reach around.

Well for starters, you should probably define what a short period is. Because the markets spent much of August hoovering around the record highs of February (which were also all time record highs, hard to always have the market just consistently climb) and then spent the entire month of September at all-time levels. For me, that is more than enough time to take some chips off the table. As for corporate earnings, they don't suck. Here's a pretty solid stat for ya: 92% of the S&P companies have reported Q3 earnings, you want to know how many have beat to the upside? 78%. That is pretty damn good. Not only that but the Q3 earnings growth is highest since 2010. Also, the tech selloff is more out of fear than anything else. Amazon and Netflix knocked it out of the park, relative to sell-side estimates. Edit: Don't cover Facebook, but just looked and they beat on bottom line, missing on top, but I still wouldnt say that is terrible. And google absolutely took the cover off the ball: beating on both top and bottom. Economic figures, excluding some cracks in the housing market, have actually been quite strong. Unemployment, both U3 and U6, are at or near all time lows, with wage growth growing the most last quarter since 2009. Consumer confidence is also up, as the GDP for Q3 grew at an initial rate of 3.5%. Anything else I didn't cover? Oh, wait, if our president could keep off twitter and let the Fed do their job and maybe not collude with Saudi's that would be awesome. He is a major factor for the bear market that WTI and Crude are experiencing.

So far from the truth, it isn't even funny. This whole post.

I mean, it's fine. I'm sure the Jackson estate is stoked that Amazon is now using it for their holiday commercial.

They did. I can't remember for sure, but I swear someone mentioned that Frost wasn't a fan of that song and 86'd it.

They might be perfectly fit for Kentucky then

Yes, yes they did!!

Agree 100%. The bold has me worried.

Would be a bit of sweet revenge to the Kentucky fans who were up in arms about how a kid would want to attend NU over UK, you know cause they were a top ten team who was building a dynasty. Of course, that was prior to them getting dominated by Georgia and shifting full focus to basketball after the embarrassment of losing to Tennessee.

Based off the discussion in the shed, looks like he made a pretty offensive comment about another B1G team in a status update? Not quite sure who it was, wasn't on HB much after the game on Saturday. I'm assuming alcohol was probably a culprit. Kinda like Zach Smith.

Didn't ScottyIce get banned?

This. Bunch of dumbasses.

These announcers suck.

To be fair, the tax overhaul and fiscal spending has been a large contributor to the economic growth we've seen. However, the latter is not sustainable and will eventually come back to bite us in the a$$. Additionally, consumer spending has increased, as consumer confidence continues to tick upward.

Haha. That is what I was getting at, but couldn't tell what your response meant - if you were trying to be funny, or what. So I figured I'd let it play out.

Yeah, @knapplc I'm looking at the "pregame huddle" jpg. and if you look at the southwest corner you'll see the green and yellow is just underneath the monitor. Looking at the original/photoshopped photo, you'll see a similar amount of green and yellow. More importantly, no band!

Based on no video boards on the northwest and northeast side of the stadium, as well as the updated north endzone, we know it is between 2006 and 2009. When checking schedules, there are only a few teams that are green and yellow. Then, once you look at the visitor section in this pre-game photo you'll deduce it is Baylor from 2008. http://www.huskers.com/PhotoAlbum.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=100&PALBID=23586

Oh yeah, couldn't remember exactly when the blocked punt occurred. I just remember thinking right after the 4th down we got away with something there.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the botched onside kick didn't even hurt us, didn't Ohio State go for it on 4th down and come up short?

lol and yet the adults continue to bitch and banter in the response to that twitter. It must be tough for the guys that have nothing in life to hold onto other than 18-22 year old kids.
