Look, I have faith that Bo Pelini is going to do great things for our program. I have faith that my God has done and will do what He says He will. I have faith that it's making a mountain out of a molehill to try and debate the difference between the two. Any rational person knows that while the word is the same, it's obviously used in a different context with differing levels of severity.

I don't understand how you can consider faith in your wife who you interact with on a daily basis and could at any time simply ask if she's being faithful the same thing as having faith in a celestial entity who you've never seen, never spoken with, or had any demonstrable interaction with at all. If you have a better word to describe the difference I'm describing than faith, or an adjective that would help the separate them, I suppose I could handle it. But I don't accept that we're talking about the same experience in both cases. That seems to me like quite a bit of work to argue semantics. Maybe it is, and maybe it doesn't matter to Christians who supposedly place their earthly and eternal concerns on a word like faith. But I think words matter, and I think we're talking about two distinct things. Trust (evidence-based trust) in a person close to you, and Faith (devoid of evidence) in a being who may or may not exist. According to Christians, having faith in this being is a moral action, in fact the only one that can apparently save you from an eternity of torture. But maybe it's not worth the work, huh? Flowery language often makes things more complex than they actually are. In what context you want to use the word, "faith," is about as relevant as debating the difference between, "over there," and "there are." Context is everything and the key to language. Just because a word is spelled the same and used differently in different contexts doesn't mean it's worth having a debate where the meaning of the word in one context is applied to another.

I don't usually read this part of HB. This thread title caught my eye for some reason.

That's what I'm kind of thinking, I'm not really sure how to proceed. The Christian answer is something akin to, "faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." I could have quoted that incorrectly, it's been a while. I guess by that answer, it really doesn't matter what the OP thinks because faith is a personal thing. I don't mean that disrespectfully, by the way.

Faith is not moral but morality should come as a product of faith, or you're not really keeping said faith. You said, "believed (preterit)," so I'm not sure you want anyone to answer you with Bible verses or anything.

so are grown ups are who drink beer adn eat fod and play yard games just sound like older and more boring versions of frat rats? I'm sorry to the frat rats I may have offended. I should have said people who don't have to eat goldfish to make friends. If you find three people of comparable hilarity I will eat my crow with a side of goldfish.

The people whining on HI about Suh being an a-hole are awesome. Guess he hasn't done enough for them lately. There's a lot of posters on their who clearly have their subscription paid for by their parents... EDIT: Now that I think about it, there seems to be a ton of people on there that think paying 10 dollars a month for access makes them somehow know more about football than, well, anyone.

Asked my buddy about this who is stationed down there in the Coast Guard. He said alcohol was involved and the kid was getting belligerent before tall boy meets shorter railing. He was apparently down there for spring break with some parents (not his) and friends. I haven't done any researching to back up or disprove what he told me.

Why on earth would any adult intentionally seek out frat rats to party with? There's lots of cool grown ups to drink beer, eat food, and play yard games with at the ample tailgating parking lots downtown. You can't go wrong with that on game day.

And who lets their mom do that? And whose mom would do that? What the f#*k, consider my mind blown.

Bull, I'm with you. What the hell? Who the f#*k does that? Needs someone to be volunteered to be an usher at their wedding, and doesn't even ask the person directly? Obviously really lame people without friends. What the f#*k, mate?

Remember this, young padawan. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. Your mom won't even be around. Like someone said, I'd just find a way to get the (apparently lame as sh1t) secretary's phone number, and call and tell her you have another obligation and don't want to do it anyway. You were volunteered without your knowledge. Obviously, you're old enough to afford 10 spring game tickets, you should be old enough to stand up to your mom once in a while. That doesn't mean that she has to know that you're going to stand up to her ahead of time ;0.

Please don't. It's overcrowded enough already with all the old people sneaking in.

Why? Because those cutoff jerseys for the defense are and were bad ass, and remind me of Wistrom and co beating the crap out of people. Good enough reason for me. I was actually kidding about wanting them back, but I see your point. I still have the 1996 Athlon, Big XII preview (first one ever) with Chris Dishman rockin the midriff. He looks like he wants to subtly eat someone's soul. I was not kidding!

Please post more so I can keep enjoying your Eric Martin sigfest.

The ass grab at 3:20 was pretty funny. Good find, thanks.

We're not all the same "Husker," fans here, so please speak for yourself. There's a heapin' helpin' of people on this board that I am sad to associate with. EDIT: Haha, they replaced sh1t lo4d with "heapin' helpin'!" Now THAT's funny.

Yea guys. DON'T FORGET YOUR POWER TOWEL. BRING IT TO EVERY GAME. Hey Huskers it's April 1st. You are supposed to spend your time coming up with stupid practical jokes, not stupid ideas.

I assumed that this was a joke, alluding to the ever-so-popular Carl Pelini thread.... Either my sarcasm meter is picking up false positives or yours might need a tune up... And in response to the original post, it definitely sounded like Sims was definitely N and was going to serve anywhere from GA to OC...it seemed like the writing was on the wall. I am wondering if anyone has any info on this as well. You're a lot quicker to give someone credit for being "clever" than I am Don't worry. You're in no danger of me giving you any credit for being clever in this thread. Of course not. The tags prevent the sarcasm from flying over someones head, and what's the fun in that?

He was dismissed for having an affair with a booster's wife. I heard she was hot too.

You guys going to let Iowa come even close to the level of Husker fan poll domination?
