      NUance, he's not ripping off the taxpayers of Nebraska. If he's ripping off anyone, he's ripping off the donors and supporters of the Athletic Dept. Why is it so hard to understand that the Athletic Department isn't a tax funded department?

    3. NUance

      Every public university gets money from donors. All the things that aren't paid for by donors are paid for with taxes, student fees, and other lessor sources. It's not like the donors said

      "I'm only giving this for the Pelini buyout. If you want to use it for something else I'm not giving anything." If you waste donor dollars on coaching buyouts you have less to spend on more worthy things.

      A good guy with a gun stopped the bad guy with a gun after the bad guy had killed 26 people, including 14 children.

       

      Somehow the whole "good guy with a gun stops bad guy with a gun" thing seems ineffective 26 dead people later.

      Thanks @ladyhawke but it's not bad enough for that. Just enough to give me a headache and make me slightly nauseous and tired. I drank lots and lots of water. I have noticed it comes on easier/quicker as I've gotten older. It was just a brutal morning, sitting in that football stadium from about 9:00 to 1:00 with no shade and no breeze in about 95 degree heat. And then when it was over went down on the field turf and could feel the heat radiating up from it. Feel sorry for all those kids in their black robes. But hey, it didn't rain....for once :D

       

      I just hope I don't turn into one of those blue hairs that has to ice down their wrists and neck just to make it through a September Husker game. I always thought "those" folks would be wiser to stay home but now I'm getting closer to being one of them.

      @Nuance No. Just no. The "mentally ill" are not dangerous. There's no mental illness that leads to shooting people.

    3. Huskerzoo

      Huskerzoo

      "Fact: The vast majority of people with mental health problems are no more likely to be violent than anyone else. Most people with mental illness are not violent and only 3%-5% of violent acts can be attributed to individuals living with a serious mental illness. In fact, people with severe mental illnesses are over 10 times more likely to be victims of violent crime than the general population"

      Wouldn't it require some form of mental illness to do something like this? I certainly wouldn't call it normal behavior.

  9. son goes in for surgery today for broken bones suffered last friday night in football game.   he is bummed that he is likely going to miss basketball season so any prayers and well wishes can't hurt.  thanks in advance huskerboard

    2. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Yeah, bones pretty much take a minimum set time to heal. The variable is how long it takes him to get back to where he can really use it and push it. He's young so I would guess the time required will be on the low end. My son spiral fractured his tibia playing hockey. They told him 8 weeks before he could play again and he was back on the ice in about 4-5 weeks and in games by 6-7 weeks. It would've been 6 months (or never) for an old fart like me :lol:

    3. Scarlet Overkill

      Scarlet Overkill

      Tough break for your son.  Here's to the speedy recovery.  Attitude during the healing process makes a monumental difference, so he just needs to stay positive and all will be well before you know it.

      And the first Real Word they let the people watch TV in the house, then they realized that being "real" meant you watch a lot of f#&%ing TV and that is boring, so they took the TV's out.

      I lean liberal in more ways than not, and John McCain was my single favorite Republican.

       

      I'll never forget the bravery this man exhibited, whether it was refusing to be released from Hanoi before his fellow POWs or having the spine give his own party's attempt to overturn healthcare law a decisive thumbs down in the wee hours of the night. (Edit: Remember he also had the integrity to correct a woman falsely calling his opponent a Muslim at a campaign rally? That moment forever enshrined the character of John McCain for me.)

       

      What a sad day. What an amazing man.

      The most I've been upset in years.  He was a good man, regardless of some of his political leanings he was of good character.  He worked across the aisle, admitted his mistakes.  We could all be more like him.  The video of him correcting one of his supporters when she accused Obama of being an "arab" makes me cry - to think we've gone from that to what we have in the GOP now is sickening.  Godspeed John McCain.  May your buddy Lindsay start putting actions behind his words of admiration of how you lived your life, and may others step up to be more like you.

      Haven't you gotten the message yet? Your eyes are obviously lying. Your ears are betraying you. In only him can you trust. You probably weren't even able to get his message, because the mainstream media won't broadcast it. Look! They are turning off their cameras as he speaks! They offer only lies. But in him can you find truth. In him you will find love. He loves everyone. But those bastards in the press distort his message of peace, and work against making America Great Again. They want America to fail. It's sad but true. They want our enemies to win. They are betraying you. Lügenpresse!
