  1. Never mind the fact that we develop walk-ons into All Americans, an undersized but talented back into a top 10 nationally and conference leading rusher (in one of the top defensive leagues in the nation), we took a juco kid his first year in and made him the conference leading sack master, or that we were able to have a redshirt freshman QB come in for a 5th year senior and lead a banged up offense and young defense to only one loss while under his command. It's spring ball take it easy man.
  2. But you have to admit at this point the stolen passports are pretty interesting. We'll see I guess.
  3. Just because a plane has an impeccable safety record doesn't mean it's immune from a chain of events or human error that could critically compromise it. A mechanic or pilot taking small liberties on a check list or repair could have a snowballing effect. A rapid decompression or catastrophic break up would mean the pilots would have no time to send out a distress signal.
  4. How many people have died because they couldn't get adequate healthcare? How many of those abortions were for medical reason or because of a rape or incest? I believe around 95% abortions are done soley as birth control, so I'll knock that number down to 1,140,000. Does that even it up enough for you? Was just out of curiosity for a fair and balance discussion.

  6. Holy crap I think the Daily Show just read this thread and made tonight's episode based on it. I'll put the link up tomorrow, it was pretty entertaining. They ripped Fox for calling Obama weak and mom jean wearing sissy and Putin a muscular bear/tiger wrestling leader, while before this mess they were calling him a dictator and a tyrant. They made a Fox business commentator look like the jackass he was by giving him examples of how poor our healthcare system is and letting him talk himself into a corner. He used every company line on the subject too.
  7. Trouble is they're already doing this. We really haven't gotten anything at football games other then a towel in the last couple years if I'm not mistaken. I'm not complaining since I don't think we should have to get free stuff to show up just wondering if I forgot anything? Two seasons ago they handed out tons of free sunglasses, as well as the Iron N towels and the 50 years of sellouts towels. They had some more towels this year for the MSU game and I know they had dozens of huge boxes of donuts for the early risers for the UCLA game. Room for improvement but those things don't have that huge of an impact - especially if the student section stays where it is and the people above row 70 in south get nothing That was actually kind of funny, the boxes got past down the rows and the upper rows got nothing of course. I forget exactly when, maybe between the 1st and 2nd, a food fight broke out between south and east stadiums.
  8. Every student has the option, but there's a limited number of student tickets. It's first come first served by Seniority. Basically Grad students seniors, juniors and some sophomores get East stadium (the sideline tickets) and lazy juniors, unlucky sophomores and freshmen get south stadium (the corner endzone). All seats are GA as of 2007. And you can't get from south to east unless you go all the way around the stadium (and technically have a wrist band, but I don't think anyone really checks that).
  9. Given al jazeera a try yet? I've only watched about 15 minutes of it, but it seems somewhat promising. I have, but only on Twitter. I don't watch TV news, so I wouldn't spend time watching their channel (do we even get it in Lincoln?). I glance at their headlines, but they're not reporting anything I don't already know, so I haven't clicked through to an article yet. CNN.com is still my primary news website if I go to an actual website, but mostly I get my news from twitter and reddit. Indeed we do, with Time Warner that is.
  10. I don't think a lot of people are aware of this, I know I wasn't. With all the rhetoric out there all you hear is China owns the largest percentage of our debt . But in reality they only own 8% and are still behind the Fed and Social Security Trust Fund in percentage. I guess you would say they're the largest none US government affiliated owner of debt?
  11. Been craving some bourbon all day after having a couple glasses last night. I hardly drink, and never drink during the week. I blame NUance for this.

      I applaud you good sir. See if you can out drink Nix.

      Ha ha! I don't think anyone could out drink Nix. Funny that he was best friend of Winters, a teatotaler.

      War makes for strange friendships.

  12. So you can shoot or stab me or something? Stab you with his dick? You'd like that wouldn't you?
  13. I thought it looked a little more like the YF-23, but they're all really similar looking jets.
  14. Good stuff. My parents got me the bluray box set of BOB and The Pacific a couple Christmases ago. Watched all of BOB but only got a few episodes into The Pacific before life and general depression set in. The Pacific definitely isn't as "cheery" as Band of Brothers, just everyone dying it seems like. I've read Ambrose's book, which I like, and Beyond Band of Brothers which was also good. Beyond had some leadership lesson I tried to take to heart and offers a great perspective from Major Winters . Might have to go back and read it again to refresh my memory.
  15. wifi, so that I maybe able to unlock the secrets of his naturally strong family and create my own brood.

  17. Is this like Game of Thrones in Texas, but with out the money or power aspect?
