From an average person's standpoint, I can see how you think that. Have you ever watched Shark Tank? The Sharks invest in hundreds of companies on there, and not all of them become successful. The Sharks lose all or most of their money on a lot of their deals, but it's a law of averages. One investment that turns out great can make them millions and offset the ones that failed. That's how successful people work. They make quick, educated decisions and exhibit massive action. I will NOT critique Trump for several failed businesses, because that's a poor man's mindset. As far as the bankruptcies, of the 4 bankruptcies that he's filed for, 3 of them were on casinos. I think I see the problem. You're getting your financial perspective from"Shark Tank" and "The Apprentice." It's a tad more complicated than that, my friend. Amen! Those guys could have all just put their money in the stock market and they would have made more!

Yep! I agree! It is a good show.

Back in my day we climbed a 2,601 foot ladder!

I kind of like that line too. And the Minny line. I like OSU as well as in I would take OSU.

I am from Beatrice and I grew up with some Jurgens. I just assumed he was related to them. Cool, thanks!

Just for those of you that don't gamble a lot usually these early-season lines in your local area are about two points higher than they will be the week of the game.

I was not shocked over the Purdue line, But the Ohio state line was a typo, thanks for catching that. I wish my bookie would've had that was a typo

From my "friend" Fresno St -30 Wyoming -28.5 Oregon PK NW -5.5 IL -14.5 Indy -8.5 Purdue -28.5 Wis +2.5 OSU +10.5 Minny -13.5 MD -16.5 Iowa PK For some of you it must come as a shock that they are that big of a favorite over Purdue considering last year's game was an instant classic and because we know from various threads that Purdue actually has better talent. I guess all that talent must've graduated and went to the National Football League

Anyone know why his family lives in Beatrice? Do they teach their family business there they grow up there? I just wasn't sure… Thought maybe someone might know

I don't know if I notice the bars being as packed as they were in the past… I can remember having to hit a sports bar a good 3 to 4 hours before a husker game. It doesn't seem that way anymore. And the 11 o'clock games a lot of the bars still just open up at 10 AM or even right 11.

I think so...there is probably no way they get into the dance as lower than an 8/9 seed so they will basically be favored or a pick-em.

Yep. Nike SPARQ Verified. Though I'm not sure running the 40 has a lot to do with playing DE. Granted, I'm not the biggest football guru, but if you're playing defensive end and part of your job is edge contain, 5.24 seems....really slow. I ran a barely sub 5.0 40 in high school and played the same position; had a tough time keeping backs and quarterbacks inside sometimes. Totally agree and I bet in HS because of his power it was probably not a huge issue but in college it sure could be. Sometimes what happens is the coach just changes the assignment behind you with the SS alignment.

I got to think that his bare minimum next year needs to be these things: 1. No more than 3 home losses 2. Top 5 finish in conference 3. One Big Ten Tourney Win 4. NCAA Bid 5. 1 Tourney win

I don't think anyone has a problem with Trump not debating Sanders. No one ever expected them to, and most political pundits thought it was a ridiculous idea to begin with. People only started talking about it when TRUMP opened his mouth and threw out some words that happened to fall in a sequence similar to "I'd love to debate Bernie for charity". Bernie said, "hey, sounds great! Let's do it!" Then Trump cowered back hopefully finally realizing that people might actually try to hold him accountable for the words that fall out of his head. Would have been nice just for the money they would have raised but it probably would have just turned into a bash fest on Cliton. Kind of like LeBron James and his special a few years back. It raised a lot for a charity but it was kind of lame.

He really is… I can just imagine with this kid will look like in about two years…

Many have mentioned that losing SS was not really a big deal and most of the team is back plus they have a big man. So next year...no dance = hot seat?

What classified information did she email from the private email account? How would anyone know that...it is classified!

Must you keep doing this? In every thread in this forum? You are welcome

I don't understand how the misdeeds and the errors of others should excuse Hillary's behavior. I haven't really been one to raise much of a stink about any of them but two wrongs don't make a right. I thought you didn't like Hillary? One of the main reason I have been avoiding these political threads lately is, I dont think any of the candidates are worthy of being defended. I dont want anyone to think I support any of them because IMO that would be somewhat embarrassing and also extremely hard to get very enthusiastic about. I'm confused why anybody who regularly claims the same thing, that all the candidates are poor, so often is seen defending one of them. Is it just the least bad of the bad thing that makes her worthy of sticking up for? Or, do you think she's not really all that bad? Or, is it just the thrill of pointing out cases of perceived hypocrisy? I don't mean to be getting on you specifically. I'm just dumbfounded by all the apparent support any of these wastes of air are garnering. Maybe I've just gotten too cynical. You wouldn't be hearing about this if Hilary weren't running for office. You wouldn't care. It wouldn't be treated as "big news," because it wouldn't be. It'd be treated the same as when Colin Powell did it and Condoleeza Rice did it. With a "meh" and barely a mention in the news. What you should be dumbfounded with is how shrill the attacks on Hillary are over something that at least two other Secretaries of State have done. What you should be dumbfounded about is how, 12 years after John Kerry was "swiftboated" in a crazy, stupid smear campaign, Americans are falling for the same kind of smear tactics again. I don't care if people drive a mile over the speed limit but that still doesn't mean it isn't wrong and/or illegal. Is it a big deal? Maybe not at all...was it wrong/illegal? Maybe. But dismissing it because someone else didn't get in trouble is just as bad or worse as it becoming a witch hunt because of the the person is.

Her? Who are you talking about?

What prison would it go in?

Could it be that all of them were wrong and guilty?

If Clinton wins the election it'll be because she's the least bad of all the bad choices. There is always a tallest midget!
