I thought it made a lot of sense. There's some connection there with Ahman and Brandon Jackson, but watching the playoffs they picked Ryan Grant back up and DeJuan Harris was pretty dynamic. But there was still a lot to be desired in a solid running game. They've got a clear number one in Morris and Helu was on IR all year with turf toe I believe. Don't think Rex would see much playing time there. I don't know the Broncos have some pretty decent backs, with Knowshon there and Peyton tossing the ball around all the time how much would Rex really do for them? Who wants to hear this one... Jets?

He would be a bigger better Woodhead though! I agree there is no chance he will show up there. My friends and I were talking about this the other night at the bar and the places we could come up with where they could use him were Dallas, Green Bay, Oakland, and a few I can't remember now.

That's a nice *blog* post and something everyone should keep in mind. But the real debate isn't about whether or not these storms are unprecedented, because they're not (there have been more powerful storms than Katrina in the last 20 years obviously), but the frequency of such storms. And like he said the expansion of people in vulnerable areas hasn't helped things any but you can be hit by a hurricane in some form anywhere in this country. Do you seriously think we should just move millions of people off the coast? That would A) be an almost impossible task and B) Devastating and not very feasible on so many levels! Think about transportation, commerce, current infrastructure, national defense the list goes on and on. Yes we should discourage people from rebuilding in the most vulnerable areas, but to deny people recovery assistance would be ludicrous.

Well for the moment were back on the debt ceiling issue. Why is it so hard to pay for a debt that you've already incurred, and in most cases previously vote to allocate and spend? Nobody in their right mind would write a check and tell the bank "Hey I don't want to pay that, so don't withdraw it from my account. Thanks!"

Sounds reasonable, but could you imagine the howling that would come from some conservatives if that were to happen Knap? Bloating government, more bureaucracy, blah, blah, blah!

But the flip side is on 3 and 3ish to keep the drive alive and stay in the game he feels phantom pressure scrambles out of the pocket and loses yards, when he had that same throw open again if you would have just settled and took a hit if need be.

I guess ideally Obama wouldn't be vacationing at home in Hawaii until the bill is signed. But other than that and calling Boehner (which apparently doesn't work anyway) there's not much he could do. And all it would do is save face for him, so realistically it would be a meaningless gesture.

All this drama has got my head messed up. I didn't mean to jump your comment like that, I apologize. I guess I was just curious as to what the sanctions were being too lazy to look them up mysefl, which I have now done.

ACC, actually! The game was moving too fast for them. But yeah, lot of chippy play that went unchecked.

Sounds good but how would you go about it. The severity, intent, and even location of a hit can look different from every angle and speed. Maybe review them if there was clearly no helmet contact, but then you drastically slow down the game.

I think we are in the minority. Most people have crucified PSU already. The NCAA was quick to attach the Sandusky crimes and the unsettled legal issues with the University directly to the football program. I read the court filing and while it does contain some opinions on the state of the NCAA and Emmert but it does have some very good points. The one that stood out to me is that other universities have been charged with serious crimes (Baylor cover up of a murder; UVA and Montana St rapes) and the NCAA did nothing in those cases. The filing states the recent criticism of the NCAA led them to take this serious action against PSU. The court filing did not play that up enough imo. Baylor's basketball program did indeed receive sanction over that situations. They couldnt even play any non-conference games for a season or two. But they didn't cripple them and charge the athletic department 60 million did they. I'd say murder and child rape are on par with each other, granted the amount that happened at PSU is beyond belief.

Glad someone shares the view point. It makes it really hard for me to even want to argue the point with all the crazies in Happy Valley. Probably like a defense lawyer for a client he knows is guilty of murder. Paterno's name is forever tarnished because he failed to do the right thing himself when others wouldn't, and they can't seem to get that. That's why I say if you want to strip wins and anything affiliated with him over the time period that would be fine. It's like taking away wins and awards for Reggie Bush, he was ineligible. But I truely feel the NCAA has made a very serious over reach here. I don't think they were out to get PSU but they certainly wanted to make an example of them, and did so in a way I don't know that we've ever seen before. I just don't feel they should be getting involved in legal issues that are clearly being dealt with.

So who thinks Oregon should be playing in the NC instead of Bama? I DO!!!

Just random thoughts off the top of my head: Are they free from sin or aren't they? If they are declared free from sin, and they commit what we consider sins what the heck does that mean? Will they be treated as animals or equals? After all they likely won't be human so what from the bible applies to them? We as humans have a tendency to treat a new civilization of our own specieas as savage and inhuman. What about their religion, if they have one? If they did it would be in serious conflict with ours if it wasn't Christianity (more than likely not, since Jesus died here on Earth) and how could god just leave them out of the loop?

The universe is a pretty expansive place, takes more than a few hundred years for waves of any form to travel across it. Even the catholic church itself acknowledges that there could be alien life. Of course that opens up a whole other can of worms for them. And just remember when you look at those stars it's like going back in time, we view the nearest star 4 years in the past.

Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality... Open your eyes, look up to the skies and seeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

That Teddy kid sure looks pretty good!

Or! SEC love fest = ESPN $$$

While there's validity to that Junior, Nebraska was never predestined to be in position to win a championship by simply being in the right conference. How can a two teams lose to the same opponent, one at home and one on a neutral field at the begin of the year, and one team drops only 1 spots while the other drops 10? Something is seriously wrong there.

But is it really outright when the system is basically rigged for you and your conference to have an almost automatic NC bid as long as you drop no more than 1 game? Is it really outright when you didn't win your own conference had one loss, and another team with only one loss from and AQ won their conference and got snubbed? I think youre reading into my comments as if I'm disagreeing with you. I'm trying to point out that Bama's title last year wasnt nearly outright. I agree with you. The overblown perception of the supposed SEC dominance triculates to the human polls, which have a great effect on the BCS Standings making it pretty easy for an SEC team with only one loss (or 2 for that matter) to make the title game. Or even worse, two SEC teams period. Oh, you sly dog you! I think this cold messed up my sense of context, I knew we were usually on the same page. We really need some of those Georgia boys in here for their side of the story. I like them, but they still have SEC blinders on.

Nobody ever wants the federal government around until they're in over their head, then they come running and cry where have you gone? If anything this last election proved that the majority of this country is too stupid to realize the fools they reelected are the problem. I'm not talking about anyone party, just the status quo.

I'm thinking this dude's an Iowa troll...but either way, pretty low brow stuff. Pretty much how I envision the typical southerner acting/speaking. +1 I've never understood why some fans of opposing teams feel the need to go on others board and say "great game guys!!" Gee whiz, thanks a bunch, it means a lot, really appreciate your affirmation now go away. Well considering that I have been posting on here for a month now, ever since the match-up was announced, I didn't see the need to totally dissappear. I would have come back win or lose. Also, since most Husker fans were expecting a blow out and the game was basically even for three and a half quarters, I thought it was a great effort and a great game. At any rate, I like it here, so I will probably be dropping in from time to time. It's good people. Don't worry about that fool, I don't know that he's posted anything of worth in his 36 posts. The overwhelming majority of you Bulldogs have been a pleasure to have around here. And I really appreciate your views and honesty. Don't be a stranger!

I'm actually glad they're doing this. I felt all along the NCAA over stepped their bounds. It was a legal and judicial issue not an athletics issue in anyway. If you want to strip the wins and all that stuff fine, but to cripple a program for things that will be sorted out in court is unprecedented and in my opinion outside the NCAA's jurisdiction.
