  1. After watching the game for the first time, I thought Wyoming played very well for its calibre. They actually hung with Nebraska until towards the end of the 3rd quarter. Some of the passes teams throw at us (and execute) are all very similar. Bootleg to the wide side, hit the deep out. Or quick slant off the blitzing backer. They had a lot of success; the TOs were not all Josh Allen's fault. Oregon is going to be very tough if they take it to the air.
  2. Look, nothing will happen until ST cost us a game, then do a thread.
  3. Against the run good, against the pass bad. Special teams bad. Same old story.

  5. What is the name of the cowboy N horse in the WY licence plate?
  6. Maybe we didn't throw it because we really need a RB irl Them coach's thinking ahead
  7. Explain. Well, first off, I will apologize I am not one who is good with words, or putting thoughts into words. Also, I am coming in blind, and don't know what your political conviction is. Do you mind if I ask? How you came off was "if you listen to fear-mongerers (which you had qualified in a previous post to be specifically Trup, Cruz, Fox News, the NRA...in other words, the political right...). This would be bad, because it would set our society back to the stone age both economically and especially intellectually." This is classic left-wing fear-mongerning, isn't it? Appealing to intellectualism is literally the opposite of fear mongering, whether it's economic intellectualism (espoused by traditionally "republican" people) or scientific intellectualism, which used to be espoused in various ways by both parties, but has unfortunately been ceded to "democrats" of late. To paraphrase what he is saying even further, "if we democratically concede power to the Right, the population will become subject to much foolishness. Do you really want to live in such a horrible country?" That was the appeal (as I took it) which is a method of fear-mongering, typically used by the left. On the Right there are other similar tactics of fear...like "do you want to live in Cuba?" Haha thats a good one too.

My political affiliation (Independent) is irrelevant to facts. What I see are people choosing teams and sticking with those teams for a lifetime regardless of how far left or right those teams move. The Democrats and Republicans of the 1980s don't exist today, yet (for example) Republicans consistently bill themselves as the party of Reagan and invoke his name frequently. Modern Republicans decry nearly everything Obama does, despite the fact that he's more a Reagan Republican than a modern Democrat. He has a "D" behind his name, therefore he's a "leftist" or "liberal" which are terms that have been so massaged that they have almost no meaning. Moderates, like me, have not changed. By definition we are always moderate. The problem is that the Right has moved SO FAR to the right that anything near moderate looks left-wing to them. This is human nature no ? You never changed your mind, always been a moderate... are you not the same? People have to live with their decisions and so they justify them, whether they are mistakes or not. Its funny, I actually have changed stances on politics over time. I must be exceptional in your view. And I am genuinely curious as to why you think Obama is so similar to Regan ? I am sure you have some cold facts, and not just an opinion ? I really don't know, I wasn't alive in the Regan era...
  9. I do not think there's an equivalency between the two, and I think I made that very clear. Benghazi, tragedy though it was, pales in comparison to what happened with Katrina. I'm not going to rehash that whole conversation, so if you want to relive it, it's in that thread. I think you're right that I bash Trump more than Democrats. Trump would make an atrocious president, and the fact that he had the temerity to run is proof that he deserves bashing. I think Obama has been a good president, he'll be remembered well (although not perfectly, and some of his mistakes will take a while to fix), and in general I think Trump is a disaster for the Republicans. I am not alone in that, and thinking either of those things doesn't make me liberal. Moderates, middle-of-the-road guys, can like Obama and not like Trump without being liberal whackos. The Right has moved further right than the Left has moved left. As the country becomes more liberal in views on marriage, equal rights, and loses its interest in religion - all traditional bastions of the Right, those on the Right have circled their wagons. The rhetoric has become even more pointed, and it's hurting the country. I see that from both sides, but the Right is doing more damage to the country. Things that move the country forward like allowing Gays to marry (which is a no-brainer!) or universal healthcare (another no-brainer!) are being resisted by people from the Right. These aren't liberal agendas, they're simple, basic human rights - FAR more obvious rights than the "right" to carry a gun. The Left has gotten Leftier, yes. But not so much as the Right has gotten Rightier. If you have an elbow scrape and a broken arm, which one gets more attention? The Right is the broken arm today. Maybe the Left will be tomorrow. This is a Nebraska sports website. By its nature, it's populated with a lot of very conservative people. Some more than others, and some not so well informed. Therefore the moderates on this site tend to spend a lot of time debunking myths and nonsense from the far Right. But here's the deal - if this was a Cal Bears website, it'd be populated by more Lefties. Real ones, not me & zoogs that people THINK are Lefties. If there were more Lefties here, spouting Lefty nonsense, as a Moderate I'd be debunking their nonsense, too. It's just the nature of the conversations we have here, and the population on this site, that makes it seem like some of us are "Defending Democrats." Part of the problem is, you've only been talking to me since 2013, well into the Obama regime. There was a lot of nonsense posted about Bush on various message boards, and here, when he was in office. I debunked that nonsense, too. Facts are facts. what is your criticism of the Left?
