So.....salute Husker players, coaches, and parents for fighting to get the 2020 season back, hate on the national sports pundits for dissing Nebraska, but.........don't bother to watch the game because you know we're going to lose? WTF is wrong with you people?

I have also seen the interviews with medical professionals claiming masks aren't effective, but there are very few of them and the "professionals" have typically been discredited by all available evidence. Some, of course, are paid shills, with a paid axe to grind. I'm not sure you actually read the cdc link you provided. The medical community has always been pretty unanimous about this -- including their early mistake. The only reason to insist masks aren't useful or needed is because you are balls deep in partisan conspiracy theory. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02801-8

Insanity.

He knows the Senate very well. That's not a small thing. He's always had Republicans who speak highly of him. He's pretty damn fluent in foreign policy and brings working relationships with several foreign leaders. The upside to being a career politician is the ability to read the room. Joe Biden has successfully worked the angle of Not Being Bernie Sanders and Not Being Donald Trump, and that is the governable sweet spot in America 2020. You can flip-flop on positions or you can evolve. However you want to put it, 2020 Joe Biden has aligned himself with a clear majority of American on most key issues. Biden is really good at looking average Americans in the eye. He rode a commuter train to work, owns a dog, has a working wife, a deceased war vet for a son, a troubled second son, and a loving daughter. He's pretty good at being a real American. He's good at advocating for the traditional Democratic social safety net without frightening Wall Street. He's not afraid to surround himself with people who are smarter and more experienced in their areas of expertise. Exactly how good Biden is at all this is moot, given how terrible his opponent is on all the above. Can Joe and Kamala count on your vote?

I think he was asking if we ever wondered what Joe Biden's take was BEFORE Joe entered the 2020 race. I'm not sure Biden was looked at in an electable light until the South Carolina primary.

Valid point. But people do think "I want to know how Barack Obama would solve this problem" and at the very least Joe Biden is the guy who stood next to Obama for 8 years. I don't think anyone views the Presidential election 2020 as a clash of the Titans.

Not black and white. Not one person. Pretty much all available evidence from professionals with no axe to grind suggests mask wearing can reduce coronavirus infections by 75%. That 25% will still kill people, but if the conversation is about opening the economy and moving things forward, it starts with mask wearing. Or more to the point, not treating masks like a badge of political resistance. Also, almost every spike in positive tests is linked to large gatherings of folks not wearing masks. So it's not black and white, but it's still pretty simple.

When a former Husker is setting records and the rest of college football is talking about it, it would seem odd not to discuss it on HuskerBorad, right? Also, he was a prick.

Then let's get serious. Topic: the cultural appropriation of the Afro hairstyle by Bobby, Peter, Greg and Mike in season five of the Brady Bunch. Discuss.

Society also frowned on witchcraft, but they weren't afraid to tackle the subject on "Bewitched."

Heterosexuality. Right. I will go back and correct.

That's a great Junior High story, but we're talking about the adults in the room.

Who exactly is trying to hide their heterosexuality in exchange for cheap rent?

It's perfectly legit criticism delivered in a sober judgmental way by a biased reporter who does her homework and thinks Democrats need to remind their candidates and National Committees that they still need to do more than Not Be Trump. There are plenty of Andrew Cuomo's, Don Lemon's and Lincoln Project Republicans carrying the water. Krystal Ball has no obligation to be a witless cheerleader. As Red Denver says, we can walk and chew gum at the same time. Every progressive I know is voting for Joe Biden, and I know more Sanders supporters who are letter-writing and phone-banking for Joe than original Biden supporters. btw....The Hill is not Fox News for liberals. That's now CNN's job, with an MSNBC assist. And while I'm kinda okay with that given the circumstances, it's a slippery slope. As Crystal points out.

No, I'm sure Krystal means the Left, which has been accused by fellow Democrats of being delusional with its crazy demands for equitable healthcare, wages, and taxation. Joe is the consummate centrist. Nothing wrong with Joe saying this out loud in an election season, but at some point Democrats need to shove some legislation back down the GOP's throat, knowing that a majority of Americans actually agree with their policies, backed by s#!tloads of historical evidence.

I'll have to take your word for it. My 90 year old parents live in Seniors housing in Lincoln, where Trump reigns unquestioned. They have identified only a handful of Democrats , who've learned not to expose their leanings to the Gen Pop. Then again, these people haven't been interacting with each other for several months. There may be a shift, but I doubt it's much. When old people think of the birthdays, funerals, children, and grandchildren they've missed, they are just as likely to blame the media for overplaying the danger as they are blaming the White House for underplaying it. The restrictions are heartbreaking for everybody, but especially for folks already in their final act, unable to physically connect with anybody. I wonder if the shift among Seniors has less to do with COVID and more with admitting Trump is a childish blowhard. Also, Joe Biden is tailor made for Seniors, and the classic AARP issues tend to lean Dem. Also, at 61 am I considered a Senior? Cause that would blow my mind.

Yep. Gotta earn it on the field. That's always the last laugh. If it seems like some of the old-school pundits and Big 10 alums are harshing on Nebraska, remember what it felt like when Texas acted like it could dictate terms to the old Big 8. In this case it would be more like Texas Tech bringing the swagger. I think the Huskers made some legitimate friends standing up for Big 10 football. But even hinting they'd go AWOL from the conference was bound to get some danders up. If it gives the team a chip on its shoulder, all the better.

If you were really interested, you could have done the same Google search in the same :05. Sorry if I seem suspicious. But if you and your brother have no intention of doing anything with the feedback anyway, I might suspect that your first visit to P&R was simply to drop a piece of anecdotal evidence to cast doubt on mail-in ballots. That's kinda the lay of the land right now.

For the life of me I can't figure out which part of that last post was funny. Could the laugher enlighten me?

If Scott Frost volunteered the word Uzbekistan, it's because he wanted to exaggerate the point. Of course it's the better headline. Also, the Internet mocks EVERYTHING. It's not like Frost was taken out of context, here.

It won't be graceful, but it's pretty easy to imagine a brew of The China Plague, the Fake News witch hunt, and a fraudulent election that unfairly derailed the greatest economy and the greatest President America has known. He will also issue a chilling warning about the people replacing him who must be constantly watched as they launch the globalist agenda that only he would have been able to stop. So he will concede the election without admitting defeat. He might secretly be relieved. He can go back to taking potshots at everyone without the pesky administration stuff. There will be an O.J. Simpson flavored declaration to pursue the real guilty parties, the REAL losers. Assuming he can stay out of jail, Trump can still have a robust career as a figurehead to the Trumpist cult, and I'm afraid the media will still cover him. But the venues and the loyalists will suddenly be very downscale, and Trump will have to realize his rich bully schtick only plays to the retail cut-out bin -- if he hasn't figured that out already. Bigger question is when he gives that concession speech. Virtually no chance it's November 3 or 4, even if it's a landslide. I'd never rule out the f#&%er winning, either.

I found this in a :05 Google search, if you're really interested. https://sos.ga.gov/index.php/elections/stop_voter_fraud https://www.sos.alabama.gov/alabama-votes/stop-voter-fraud-now

I get what you're saying because I'm certain I did things at that age that would horrify me today -- and I'm sure I've pushed some of those memories out of my brain. That includes wearing a stupid pasted-on smile while some a$$h@!e friend of mine bullied someone weaker to show off for our peer group. I knew it was wrong even with that pasted on smile. I definitely remember the times I stood up to a bully or helped out a victim because those are the memories that make me feel good about myself. But that same young guy failed to stand up in situations that were more awkward or dangerous. Older me has gotten much better at it. So technically yeah --- there are good people on both sides. But at some point you have to become that good person who admits they were on the wrong side. There's actually a compelling history of people who convert from racism when given the chance, including a famous case out of Lincoln where a Jewish couple reached out to a local Nazi loudmouth. I give a dollop of blame to the guy in the White House sending out dog whistles to every fellow bully in the nation. But these kids are old enough to know right from wrong, and to suffer the predictable consequences --- which are mild for the moment.

When the Proud Boys, the Ku Klux Klan and The American Nazi Party say they are thrilled to have one of their own in the White House amid a spike in recruitment and hate crimes, take them at their word. When the handful of American socialists tell you Joe Biden is not one of them, they're also telling the truth.

I'm thinking more Greek or Shakespearean tragedy, but yes -- it would require a sense of guilt, shame, and abandonment that might never show on Trump's face or tweets, but must surely lurk somewhere in his soul. Say, has anyone ever seen A Face in the Crowd? Cause that final scene just flashed on me.
