Still.....helluva perfect storm, since no other defense in the long history of the SEC has ever gotten that shredded.

I was at that Missouri Game in 1978. If we won the game, our Orange Bowl berth would be the National Championship Game against Penn State IIRC. Totally hungover from the night before, that whole day was just cold and punishing. Husker's had a letdown for sure, but Missouri had a great quarterback in Bradley (who went on to a successful MLB career) and a good game-plan — a lot like the 1997 scenario. I think they announced the Oklahoma rematch that night. No Husker fan thought Nebraska was going to win that Orange Bowl. I was alive and I was way into Husker football, and Missouri had always been scheduled for last game of the 1978 season, and we all wondered how and why that happened, but I don't remember anyone offering an explanation. Don't know how it would play out in an alternate universe where we played Missouri first, but while the Huskers gave Oklahoma a good game, the Sooners really fumbled that one away. That wishbone always fumbled a lot, but in that first game Oklahoma fumbled NINE TIMES and lost six. They only fumbled once in the Orange Bowl.

All I know is the Speilman passed the eyeball test, game after game, almost literally putting his life on the line on some of those crossing patterns. Go back into the game threads and remember how we marveled what a baller he was. Also, people who evaluate football talent as a profession had Speilman slotted to be drafted in the second round if he'd come out early, in an NFL draft famously loaded with receivers. I really don't see the point in dragging J.D. down, although I know why folks here are doing it. J.D. appears to have had (or is still having) a crisis of conscience with football. I wish him luck.

It's more of an he was an incredible running back kinda thing.

It doesn't really look great for the IRS, either. They are wildly inefficient at best. Speculation is that the whistleblower comes from Trump's own accounting firm, someone who just got sick of this s#!t.

Yeah, when do you ever see a calendar of beefcake school teachers?

Yeah, he'll definitely go the witch hunt route, but he will not be able to stop himself from defending himself. I believe he already claimed that not paying taxes is what smart businessmen do during the 2016 campaign.

That's what I didn't like about Bo in a nutshell: The failure to make adjustments. Cause when you add up all the other problems with Bo, they're based on the same thing. He's not going to change because he doesn't think he's doing anything wrong.

Trump made more money than he reported --- although he remains nowhere near as wealthy as he claims. So he has a choice for narratives: a) he was doing what every wealthy American does to avoid taxes; under--reporting and hiding income, and he is wealthier than these tax returns suggest. Or b) they are accurate and lawful tax returns, and he's just been having a lot of financial problems the last 10 years. He will of course go with a) momentarily ignoring the likelihood that it qualifies as felony tax evasion.

It's really two different things: 1) That one party is doing the most uni-American thing possible by making it harder for certain people to vote and/or undermine the legitimacy of the entire process. 2) The majority of Americans who choose not to vote in this election, like every other election.

Fairness and equality aren't the same thing. $20,000 could save a small business. It means nothing to a billionaire. Apparently giant food franchises qualified for billions in Payment Protection, and drained the entire fund before small business could even get to it. And $1,200 helps people whose rent is $1,200 a month pay their rent for a month. And millions of gainfully employed don't need it. Put a little thought into it, and a couple trillion dollars might be better spent in places where it's needed. Obviously the pork barrel haggling has been going on forever, and there's no dearth of a$$h@!es.

If Trump were to suddenly die before achieving everything on his agenda, I'd still be willing to honor him by adding his face to the monument at Stone Mountain Georgia. Seriously. The man has earned it.

Or maybe -- just maybe -- the Democrats were trying to make sure the aid got to desperate American workers and genuinely struggling business owners rather than the real-estate, retail and petroleum billionaires gaming the system that Trump and the GOP handed them on a silver platter. If anything, the Democrats have gone FAR too easy on these motherf#&%ers. https://www.npr.org/2020/04/30/848321204/how-the-cares-act-became-a-tax-break-bonanza-for-the-rich-explained

Always a Plus One for Snake Pliskin

Serious allegations and worth looking into. But I gotta admit, I was distracted by the other headlines on the Red State homepage, an Onion-worthy buffet of rightwing revisionist fantasy,

But voters might have said "oh" and that's what the 2020 impeachment hearings were about.

If he's in his second term with a Republican Senate it won't matter a whit. Democrats really screwed up the first time. They treated it like a legal case and Ukraine as provable treason. It's not a legal case, with no legal burden. You just need to establish why the man is unfit for the office. Here's how I would have proceeded with my Impeachment Hearings: DAY ONE: Donald Trump is a Security Risk. This would feature an impressive stable of military and intelligence leaders, including some of Trump's own appointees, detailing the President's lack of discretion, classified security leaks, refusal to read briefings, and business connections to unsavory foreign operatives. Putin and Ukraine would merely be a subset. Undeniable conclusion: he's an ignorant braggart and loose cannon in charge of America's arsenal. DAY TWO: Donald Trump and the Emoluments Clause. Is the President and his extended family privately profiting from his Presidency? Undeniable conclusion: Yes. All over the place. In clear examples that would gall any taxpayer. DAY THREE: Donald Trump and American Civics. Is the President dismantling America's system of checks and balances to protect his power, or simply out of spite? Americans haven't really been walked through this. Undeniable conclusion: the Founder Fathers did what they did to protect America from Donald Trump. DAY FOUR: Donald Trump's People: From Bob Barr, to Betsy DeVos, to judicial appointments who never tried a legal case, Donald Trump has brought in people wildly unqualified for the job, and/or an agenda to undermine the agency they head up. His attrition rate is disturbing. Appointees who left are trying to warn us about him. Appointees still in the job command little respect. Undeniable conclusion: the very cornerstones of America are being run by people based on their loyalty to Trump, tested by their willingness to subvert public will and established regulation to serve the President's personal interests. Add up one through four and you have the worst man for America, at the worst possible time. (If I had a Day Five I'd just have someone read the man's most ludicrous tweets into the record)

Don't know how I missed the previous rounds, but if it's not Pink Floyd I"m taking my bong and my Koss headphones and going home.

A buddy's son just started his freshman year at Boulder four weeks ago. His roommate already dropped out, his RA went AWOL, and the University just warned them it might drop a 14 day SIP for everybody any second now. The kid and some friends are now preparing to rent a house in Durango, although it's not clear if my buddy is supposed to continue paying Room & Board for this s#!tshow.

You owe it to yourself to watch some of the Sayers highlight films on YouTube. My son got big into the NFL playing Madden, and was always asking who was this greatest this or that. When it came to running backs, I told him Gale Sayers was the most talented, the most fun to watch. We watched clips together and he didn't disagree.

btw...today there were 315,000 new COVID-19 cases across 165 different countries and 6,333 new deaths worldwide, including new surges in France, Spain, and The Netherlands, and more bad numbers for India, Mexico and most of South America. The U.S. posted yet another 1,000+ death day today, maintaining COVID-19 as the #3 cause of death in the United States. I think we can play football and get back to work and stuff, but we don't have to parrot gibberish we read on some backwater conspiracy website.

Good sports journalists still do good sports journalism. I think it was Sports Illustrated that published that very long and detailed article last year that shadowed Scott Frost for weeks as he embarked on his second season. Told me thinks about Scott I never knew, didn't shy away from the problems we discuss in here daily, honored the Husker legacy and explained it well to outsiders.

Apparently people are disagreeing on the Presidential candidates, too.

Imagine four soldiers dying in defense of an American embassy harboring a CIA operation, in one of the most dangerous cities in the world, in a country the U.S. was actively trying to destabilize.

The glamour!
