Was told growing up not to worry about a Tornado hitting Lincoln. The city sat to low and though they might go over the city, they wouldn't touch down. Is that an old wives tale? I never saw one growing up. We used to run out to York area when we heard there was a sighting, but we never seen one any where we went.

There should be another storm coming Lincoln's way soon, as its raining in Tucson now. It figures it would rain today. The Thunderbird's are here for the air show.

 

Hope for a good Spring game. Get to watch it later tonight on taped telecast..

 

GBR!!!

A Tornado will touch down anywhere and anytime it pleases! Ask the people that used to think the mountains would keep them safe! I think anybody that beleives they are in a safe haven from a twister is just kidding themselves to try and make them feel better!

I think the Discovery Channel has a hand in making all of these recent storms to boost ratings!

I think we should round up everybody that believes this is going to happen, throw them a big party with brand new Nike's and tall glasses of that special purple Kool-Aid! When the clock stikes 12 have them all drink up and do a little herd thinning! I mean really, is it that bad of a thing if they are all expecting to die any way? Don't look at it as being cruel, we would just be helping to make their dreams come true.

Is this the last one for Bale as well? Thought I read that somewhere but maybe I dreamed that up.

I can't say for sure if your dreaming of Bale or not....... ...........But you are correct, this is it for him.

Just Another Clemson Fan Wishing Us Luck....relax badgerfan...

Be sure to mention hells bells by ac/dc... We need that played on third downs.

One more thing on the list of things Nebraska gets wrong! This one is the most irritating for me! It's suppose to be Metallica "for whom the bell tolls"!!!!

My question is.............Why are there butt holes in the zoo animals anyway???

I don't know, why do things usually have butt holes?

So what your saying is the painted pieces of plywood have to take dumps? Very interesting...........

My question is.............Why are there butt holes in the zoo animals anyway???

This makes me very happy! He isn't coming back here!

Game tickets I can get no problem........It's finding a flight for a resonable price thats the problem! If I can find one we will be there!

Just messing around I looked into bus tickets! It is a 1 day and 14 hour drive.............one way! Dear lord, I would rather stab myself with knitting needles!

I'm confused, why would anyone say no to playoffs?

The Bowl system is so corupt it's not even funny! Unless you are one of the people lining your pockets with the cash then I don't understand why you wouldn't want a playoff. It's that way in every freak'n sport on earth almost, but yet it won't work in Div 1 College football???? There is no logical defense for no playoffs.

Not this again! I said it before the Bo hire and I will say it again now!........... Hell No!!! He was a great player but there is no need for his coaching abilities here!

Why is everybody so worried about who we play? Win or lose we aren't going to get any better playing Southwest Missouri State in the Planters Peanut Bowl! It's College football, anything can happen! I would be excited as hell if we played LSU or Bama. I just wish the bowl was in Texas so I could drive instead of flying to Florida around the Holidays!!!

Yep! The "smartbomb" is all coming together now!..............................................and "BOOM" goes Huskernation!

That's Coach Pelini to you son!

I will have to see if I can find them, Jon Nyatawa reported a week ago that Turner said himself that he just doesn't have it at practice right now. Basically admitted that he is sucking as right now. He isn't in the dog house.

On Nov 7 @jonnyatawa tweeted "I heard WR Jamal Turner say this after prax: "That's the reason I'm not playing, my work ethic isn't there" #Huskers

Great, the Joe Pa chants have started

That aren't doing anything to us that we aren't doing to them so I see no point to this thread! Go Big Red!

How could you not be into this game! This is our season!

Well isn't that nice of them! Only problem is that by 11 a.m. this morning most all of them will be sold probably.

 

Now Mr. Paterno was only indicated in having knowledge of the 2002 incident. I hope that nobody disagrees that he did not take appropriate action. Mr. Paterno is not the only one to blame. According to testimony, Mr. Paterno is one of the lowest people in this that you could blame. What gets me is he had a chance to do something noble and nail that POS, but instead passed the buck (which he might have done in case he was wrong...which there would have been major repercussions legally if Mr. Paterno was). I do not know what the law in Pennsylvania is on reporting this, since Mr. Paterno reported it to his superiors...I will look into that and see what I can find.

 

Don't mistake me for condoning anything that Mr. Paterno did or failed to do. I believe that he was the head coach and knew more then what is in that grand jury report...he needs to be subpoenaed and the authorites need to find out what he actually knew. They need facts to support theories and not theories to support facts, which the general public is guilty of in a lot of cases.

This is a link that describes the law at the time. The law was changed in 2007. "A subordinate can discharge his mandatory reporting responsibility by reporting to his boss." So Mr. Paterno did fulfill his legal obligation...moral obligation is a whole different subject. I have no problem with him getting fired and my post was mostly about what Mr. Paterno did know. According to his grand jury report he was never made aware of the specifics of what happened according to the GA. He only found out when he read the grand jury report.

 

"As my grand jury testimony stated," Joe Paterno said in the statement, "I was informed in 2002 by an assistant coach that he had witnessed an incident in the shower of our locker room facility. It was obvious that the witness was distraught over what he saw, but he at no time related to me the very specific actions contained in the Grand Jury report. Regardless, it was clear that the witness saw something inappropriate involving Mr. Sandusky. As Coach Sandusky was retired from our coaching staff at that time, I referred the matter to university administrators."

 

Mr. Paterno wasn't charged and the grand jury report didn't implicate him in any wrongdoing. At this point in time, we only know that he was informed of the 2002 incident. Yes, he should have done A LOT (I repeat A LOT) more and morally I don't know how someone doesn't do more.

 

Like I said I have no problem with his firing. He did do something and not nothing, but it was the least amount possible.

 

 

I agree and I have gone into this more then I would have liked to. I am passionate about the law and being innocent until proven guilty. As Mr. Paterno did fulfill his legal obligation...it doesn't mean we have to like the law and I am glad that PA got it changed in 2007. The authorities need evidence that Mr. Paterno knew more, but until then he is innocent. If Mr. Paterno wanted to he could get a good lawyer and sue the state for wrongful termination. Either way it makes me sick and I am done talking about it...I would be going after everyone involved if I was the attorney general.

 

 

Calm down.

 

People get fired for these kinds of things all the time. Failure to uphold your employer's moral codes, whatever they may be, are grounds for termination. Without looking specifically at Paterno's contract, I'm guessing there was a morality clause. Again, this is a very common thing. The BoT likely told Joe that while he had done "the legal minimum" he did not uphold his obligations to the children, and they fired him.

 

If I had a dollar for every time I've heard of someone getting fired for something like this, I could go out to a really nice dinner. With friends. And I'd buy. And I'd leave a good tip.

 

If you're not intending to defend Paterno, lines like this are poorly chosen: "The thing I can't stand is you guys all thing you are judge, jury, and F#$$%% executioner." It's simple common sense to see why Paterno was fired. It is not uncommon. Going on and on and on about "fulfilled his legal obligation" is irrelevant to why he got fired, but it does appear that you are defending the man.

 

Yeah it sure looks like I was defending him . I was asking for prudence in this situation. Get all of the facts, then make an informed decision. But you have your head stuck so far up your ass you can't even see what I am talking about. While I am at it lets just go for a ban. I think quite a few of you on this board are some of the dumbest f'ing people on the planet. Some of you think you are the greatest fans in the world, but you are pretty pathetic pieces of sh#t. And Knapplc, you are probably the biggest blowhard I have ever seen. You are always right, but the funny thing is you are just a pathetic fool. Enhance, landlord, huskerjock, etc are a$$hole$. Stumpy in this thread is a retard. Now ban this account and go f#*k yourselves.

We have a jumper!

I have heard a lot of National media talking about how the nation may be behind NU in this one so I don't think the OP is out of line in his statements! Beat Penn State!!!

What just happend here???

Holy cow people just shut up.

I laughed! +1 to you

Obviously some people have not actually read the grand jury report, if you can read pages 6 thru 8 and tell me that there was no reason for Joe to report this to the police then you are a very sick individual that should probably seek help. Also, comparing rape of a 10 year old boy to somebody stealing a stapler at work may also qualify you for some needed help. Is it really that hard to understand what happened here? You understand that these were children right? We aren't talking about some bunny rabbits that got mistreated at a cosmetic company! These are CHILDREN for christ sake! All it would have taken is for one f'ing person to nut up and do the right thing and several lives could have been saved from this piece of sh#t. Everybody that was metioned in that grand jury report is a spineless coward that deserves to die in a fiery car accident! There is no POSSIBLE way you can twist it to make it ok! NONE!!! Holy hell! this is un-freak'n beleivable!
