You write good posts.

I was catching up on the thread and your post is where I decided to stop and comment, based on your previous posts and others that shared the sentiment. We both been around awhile, and I'm aware that you tend to discredit national sports writers & broadcasters who criticize Husker football, and counsel posters not to reward the "clickbait." I'm inclined to disagree. btw....t's not weird to let a few hours go by in the monitoring of HuskerBoard threads.

From your posts I presumed you thought Forde was a hack with an anti-Husker agenda and we shouldn't give into his clickbait.

Conversely, it's not Pat Forde's job to make a fanbase feel good about itself. They get paid to come up with sports stories that are better written and researched than the average fanboard post, and that's what he did. Nebraska fans have a persecution complex, and at some point it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Forde really had the knives out for this one and went for the deep snark, but he's not exactly wrong. And remember....these guys get emails. s#!tloads of emails. And they typically aren't from the thoughtful and pleasant folk posting here.

Well the entire world could have minimized financial losses by not shutting business down due to the coronavirus. Or they could prolong the damage of the coronavirus to the economy by re-opening too early. It's not an easy call, and the entire world is struggling with it. According to the status quo, a disease that didn't exist a year ago is currently the #3 cause of death in the United States. Be happy that we have our college football and let's worry about the bottom line finances a bit later.

You're a lawyer. Take five minutes -- or a quick 30 seconds -- and see if you can walk through a logical, defensible and possibly contractual scenario.

How about this one? The ad the appears at the bottom center and sticks up and covers up the posts. It shows an X in the upper right hand corner, but surprise --- it's not active. You can't delete it. It's bad on my laptop and renders my mobile experience useless. I now hate every advertiser on this site.

Nebraska vs. Oklahoma Thanksgiving Day 1971. I was one happy 12 year old. For me, Tom Osborne was always "the new guy" Now get off my f#&%ing lawn.

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.
