      I'm sure Knapp hates St Patrick's Day parades, Cinco Dm Mayo parades, etc, because "folks are folks" and they don't need to celebrate who they are and have fun.

      ^^^^Yep. When will the madness stop? Next thing you know black people will have a whole month...

       

  2. I hate that it isn't the Red River Shootout anymore. Someone explain to me why we can own all the guns, shoot all the guns, will never ban guns, but we can't say "shootout" anymore.

      ??? Don't know if you're talking to me or not-- but I don't need it to be real. It just is. Does everything that "is" need somebody to need it?

      There's a difference between being mindful of what you say to others, and the political correctness that's watering down the country....

      I'm sure some day "showdown" will be deemed offensive as well.

  3. Garrison Keillor was fired by MPR today. He said his employer hadn't heard the whole story, but, "I'm 75 and don't have any interest in arguing about this."

     

    That's not a denial.

      @The Dude if you've never listened to NPR it's likely you've never run into his work.  His big claim to fame is a show he created back in the 70s called A Prairie Home Companion that ran until 2016.

      @Redux I am happy to make a bet with you that Wisconsin is not dead and will beat Illinois. I hate them and would love them to die but they will stick around and compete still.

      Hopefully not Maryland. We play them the 2nd to last game of the season next year.

      TCU would only be 4 hours from home in Channelview, TX.

       

      Plus: 

      Quote

      TCU needs a grad transfer quarterback, because of questions surrounding Justin Rodgers’ injury and TCU’s quarterback situation in general. Hurts, while not a prolific passer, has a better track record than most quarterbacks in the country as far as success is concerned, and he threw for 40 touchdowns to just 10 interceptions in his two seasons as a starter for Alabama.

  5. Seeing speculation that the only Fall college sport will be Football, and it's a revenue issue. Apparently lots of programs operate in the red, and if football doesn't make money, they won't be able to field teams in other sports.

      Gotcha, GSG. Minnesota, I would think preference would be given to seniors. I'm pretty sure someone else had #5 before Lucky switched, for example. I don't know - that's just a guess.

    3. huskerscott

      huskerscott

      you can have multiple numbers in college. Usually the case is one offensive and defensive player have the same number. Zac Lee/Anthony West is one example.

    4. Minnesota_husker

      Minnesota_husker

      Knapp- I guess that would make sense, giving the seniors the number they want.

      I have a cousin who plays baseball for Allen. Those 5A schools in Texas are nuts. They look like small universities.

      Cousin's son wrestled for Allen a couple of years ago, and the family is still heavily involved in local athletics. Their dedication to sports may not be greater than, say, Hebron's, but their resources are far greater. That's for sure.

      I refuse to believe a man with a Notre Dame education would be this gullible. No way he wasn't in on this or there is no way that he is telling the truth. If this is the truth I have lost faith in the intellectual prowess of those attending Notre Dame.

      Found some at a local hardware store.  The clerk said eclipse glasses were the only things they were getting calls about all morning. They got a shipment of them in this AM and that's about all they'd sold today.

      The only bad thing about this pass was the half moon right there near the ISS' appearance. If you looked at the moon it would have killed some of your night vision. Shoulda mentioned that - sorry.

      C N Red, It was moving pretty quickly. If it was bright and it moved through the sky in a hurry, you saw it.

      I remember going to midnight practice the first time they ever had it.... that was about '95 or '96, and they put it on a billboard around the same time. My memory is that people thought it was a silly word and it did not catch on right away.

  17. Larry Wilmore is going to replace Stephen Colbert? Did not see that one coming. Not sure how that's going to work. Larry is OK in small doses, but running his own 30-minute show? We'll see.
