      It's not Conservative America's fault for the mess this country is in, it's zoogs' fault for pointing out that we're in a mess. All Conservatives did was elect all the people ruining the country. How dare zoogs say that?

       

      Maybe what drives people from these conversations is the guilt they feel for their actions?  Buyer's Remorse.

      People whose minds are yet unchanged are not the enemy, to be clear. But this is what we are fighting over — how we should look at things. It’s a worthy debate to have and i hope everyone participates. We need that.

      It is close enough to impossible to respond to any of this so I will simply say that while I don't exactly disagree, I'm not of the same vantage point.  And I honest to goodness wish knapp weren't so abrasive in his response tactics.

  2. So why are there no high up Islamic leaders coming out and condemning these isis attacks. I think the first step to really getting rid of isis is for Islamic people to help lead the way. Where are they!!??

  3. Okay, Rudy Giuliani said some stuff that wasn't the exact facts, but it wasn't like he was totally off base. I don't think a race isolating themselves with a slogan is going to help. It's like the white power movement. Nobody normal wants anything to do with it.

      Treating BLM as a singular group of people is a mistake.

       

      I support breast cancer research, and my support of breast cancer might be the only similarity between me and another breast cancer supporter.

       

      If a breast cancer supporter goes out and shoots up a place, does that taint the breast cancer awareness movement? Why are we judging a group based on a misrepresented sample of the group?

      My mistake, it's not leaders of BLM. What I've seen are public figures and participants of their protests who are about BLM who do have people look up to them and who have made comments along the lines of "this is what you get" and celebrated the deaths. As I stated above, there is a message I can get behind and there are those that make you want nothing to do with them.

  4. So, say your kid(6-9 yoa) wants to go on Halloween as Cam Newton, Odell Beckham, etc. Kid is white. Is it okay to use makeup to make them more closely resemble athlete? Yes or no? Why or why not?

  5. I've seen reports that Dana White has hinted at Rousey may have to start fighting men. I'm pretty sure he wasn't serious when I heard him say it. If that happens, it will not be good. I don't care how tough you think she is, she would get massacred by a man. Sorry ladies, it's just true. Even a low ranked man could beat her. The power differences are too much.

      Or VV gets injured again, and is too much of a damaged good to be drafted. I think the chances of VV improving his draft stock in '16 were about as good as him getting injured again. Plus, he was probably just ready to move on since he was playing for coaches who didn't recruit him.

      @knapplc The beginning books/seasons had "false" main characters in Ned and Robb. With Jon and Dany, the "true" main characters he's been pretty true to regular story conventions. While the story will have a bittersweet ending (George's words), I don't think it's going to be because Jon and Dany die. It will be because of humanities sacrifice and other characters death (thinking Jaime is going to die).

  13. There's one thing I know we need to change with the football program. We HAVE to dedicate more to recruiting and hire a couple guys to head it up that aren't actual coaches. Recruiting is way too important not to have a couple full time guys heading it up and planning all the logistics.

      Until we are routinely recruiting with Bama, LSU, ND, USC, etc we arent trying hard enough. We have to try twice as hard as those schools b/c of our big downsides. Ive been pretty upbeat about our recruiting, but its just come to a point where its not enough. If it stays like it is currently it will be hard to compete consistently for championships which is what we should do. We dont have much else, Nebraska is it. How can we not put everything into it possible to end up in top 10 classes eve...

    4. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      EZ-E, I'm not claiming we're not putting effort in or even doing a poor job of it. My point is if other schools have big, non-coach recruiting staffs, and that is allowed by ncaa, then we should not trail in that effort at all. We should throw as much at it as is allowed.

      In that article one of the first things it states out the gate is: "It's important to note that many of those listed as missing may have chosen to leave on their own accord. Of the most recent 20 people reported missing in Iowa as of Friday morning, 17 are teenagers.  While the numbers may be surprising to some, the Iowa Department of Public Safety said the numbers are in line with history."

       

      I don't disagree that something needs to be done to make people safer, just wanted to put out there that from what I can find, there isn't anything close to that number disappearing and involved with sex trafficking.

But i will still take the field for $100 and give 5 to 1. Who wants it?? And i'll take DJ for $100 at 10-1. Anybody?

      They didn't dry the course out on purpose. It has rained 0.5" in the last month or so. The elements dictate how the game is played, and that is how it should be. If you want "green," and stretched 7500 yards, and FW mowed back towards the tees, and driver on most holes, watch in April, they have a tournament for you. That is not how golf was supposed to be played.

  20. Okay, question, but first I just want to say I understand the demeaning nature of blackface as it pertains to the past, however, if a white kid/person wanted to dress up as their favorite athlete/celebrity/etc who happens to be black, shouldn't they make it as real as possible? Or is it better to try and find a mask of the person to wear? Same for reverse, if black person wanted to dress as favorite white athlete/celebrity, etc shouldn't they try to look like the person? FYI, I haven't done halloween for years and don't really care for it, but just seeing articles talking about stuff like this and wondering what everyone thinks.

      I don't care if they rotate or not. I don't care which players play. I just want to see the OL play improve. I think the basic problem is lack of desire to do what it takes to run the ball effectively. Talent is a bit of it but I know they could get more out of these guys if they wanted to.

    3. True2tRA

      True2tRA

      I'll tell you what, I've struggled with the idea of there being that "huge gap" between the starting group and the backups as well. I don't think a rotation is necessary at all. Substitutions would be great, but maybe these offensive linemen need to get their asses worked into shape a little bit. I also don't think Cavanaugh just plays worse guys on purpose. At the end of the day, the offensive line hasn't been a strength for a long time.
