I was, of course, kidding. Trump will carry the state handily, which merely makes me ponder the self-selecting nature of the HuskerBoard P&R Forum. How about if everyone currently residing outside the state raises their hand. I'll go first:

I guess my point is that the thoughtful and well supported opinions in HuskerBoard P&R do not reflect the larger Nebraska mindset.

It's also telling that a California kid who disgraced his team wants to stay in Lincoln, Nebraska. That's actually a positive for UNL football.

If there's excitement for Biden, it's imagining Joe taking the Trump appointments down one by one and replacing them with competent people.

So if I'm reading this poll correctly, the overwhelmingly strong support for Biden is going to turn Nebraska solid blue in a few weeks.

There has to be some savvy to Trump, because he charted his own course, ignored conventional wisdom, and basically spanked both the Republican and Democrat parties. On the other hand, he's not even an a$$-kicker in his own chosen world. The Bloomberg's of the world aren't his peers -- they think he's a terrible businessman and a clown. He had to continually get bailed out: by his dad, then the Russian banks, then by Mark Burnett who created the character people ended up voting for: the host of Celebrity Apprentice. Jesus, the man got played by Kim Jon Un. Maybe by "street smarts" we mean the ability to make the common man so angry at elites and minorities that they don't notice it's actually Trump picking their pocket. As a street level con-man he's too clumsy and would have been arrested long ago. If he were a real-world mob boss, his body would have been dumped in the East River in the 1980s. But somehow in the political realm in this particular moment in time, Trump's "smarts" work like street crack.

The Dems do make changes, and comparatively they are changes for the better. The problem is that they are generally incremental changes, often the result of pre-emptive compromise, and we have been chased to the edge by 40 years of rightward drift, a place where you gotta think big because that incremental step is a killer.

If you were a bad actor, in this case the President of the United States, you would simply want to stir up doubt about the entire election process and use whatever you need in case you lose. The USPS was already a whipping boy and the combination of direct sabotage and unfounded conspiracy theory lets you declare the results invalid and keep yourself out of Southern District Court of New York indefinitely But it's really much simpler than that. Trump was informed that high voter turnout has always favored the Democrats, who have about 20 million more registered voters than Republicans. Ergo: suppressing the vote is good for Donald Trump. Bada-bing, bada-boom.

Remember, we've had at least three answers in the last couple months: Yes, a conference-only season will be played. No, no season at all. Yes, but a lot of stuff needs to go right in the next four weeks. I'll wait for kickoff. And hope there's not another thunderstorm.

The Big 10 is a solid conference that benefits the University of Nebraska in any number of ways. We aren't going anywhere else, nor should we. There's a bit of butthurt for Nebraska's maverick moves, and more than a little admiration. We won't be punished..The people who harbor anti-Nebraska conspiracy theories pre-date the Big 10. We still need to beat the other Big 10 teams on the field.

They may not listen to me, but for gosh sakes, won't they listen to Sgt. Joe Friday?

What do you do for a living?

Uhm......I think it's the growing number of Americans who "don't trust the science" that have inspired scientists to lobby for their incredibly valuable profession. It's the exact opposite of being a hack. At this point I think it's only fair that Trump voters boycott science and every product and medical procedure it's made possible.

I didn't think it was enough to +1 this. I wanted to see it again.

The odds just got a lot better, but aren't we still where we've been before? A plan to play, but weeks before kickoff, moving through uncharted waters.

No. I'll probably be in the gulag.

I have no idea where she was going with "Nebraska-ization." Best guess from this context is that she thinks Nebraska is somehow harder core and more football obsessed than other Big 10 schools -- but then she implicates the other Big 10 schools. Now that you mention it, it is a pretty cheap and stupid swipe.

I happen to think we can and should play sports as long as the necessary steps are taken. If we're smart about this stuff, we can be getting back a lot more of our livelihood. But America hasn't been particularly smart so far, so when someone voices doubts about attempts to rush back to normalcy, I don't consider them pompous or deranged. The truth is somewhere in the middle, and we really hate that nuanced s#!t.

He's got my vote! Oh wait. No he doesn't.

Classic. But my favorite is still the guy who said "keep fu**ing that chicken" knowing fully well he was miked.

And when has a second hand report about something one person said on a hot mike been wrong?

One way to be more sure is to click on the link I generously provided.

Yep. They could not spend a September Saturday watching football on TV and not realize they f#&%ed up.

I didn't do it! HuskerMax's ad agency did!
