Every game,  I keep thinking it can't get any worse.  And they continue to prove me wrong. 

I know. I think back three weeks ago to that Indiana win and it’s like wham bam what the f#&% just happened. 

This was ugly. 

Nice game by Borchardt. At least someone who plays like he wants to be out there.

I don't think anyone is intentionally trying to make this a personal thing against Tim.  I think most of us like him and want him and the team to do well but as SLH said above me, he's not a good fit for the Huskers and the B1G.

This. I very much want Miles to succeed because I not only want to see us win a tournament game but develop into a program where at least 75% of the time we are participating in some post season tournament. I don’t think that’s an unrealistic goal. 

But he is just not the right guy. I don’t think he is a great leader and we’ve basically been stagnant as a program under his tenure. It seems like every single year we get worse as the season goes on. We’re never playing our best basketball in March.

Well, if you can't win the "win one for the Gipper" game, you're not going to win many more after that.

 

Bring on Signing Day, and Spring Football.

And opening day and warm temps 

If the huskers want this game it’s out there for the taking.

It may be more efficient to begin measuring the temperature of TM's seat in Kelvin units.

Another disappointing performance... no leadership

Up .3%

Trading TDs for FGs.......

Gotta take the points

Looking at the spread I wouldn't have touched this game.

We f'ing suck!

So do you drunky the F' clown

NU - 32

USM - 18

Rushing -- 249

Passing -- 186

I fear Fonz won't be drafted until tomorrow

Picture responses are for girls

Jets need an OLB.

And they choose Stephen Hill WR

Dennard - He hasn't played his best football since 2010, figure in the injury and the fact that he had a bad Senior Bowl. I didn't have him falling much at all due to his arrest though, I think he'll be late 4th to a 5th round pick.

David - Most upside of all the Husker players in the draft he will be gone early in the second round.

Crick - I say Crick goes between rounds 4-6. He hasn't played his best football since Suh was here and when he was playing well he was still considered an early second round pick. Add the concussion and torn pectoral. Then you have to ask if he'll be a DT in a 3-4 defense or a defensive end in a 4-3. So I have him falling quite a ways.

Kinnie - This is my sleeper ha. I think he will go in the 7th round but I believe someone might take a gamble on Kinnie

Look at it this way: If Sandusky had Ron Brown's morals and beliefs, he never would have touched any little boys.

 

Because men of God never touch little boys................................................

 

Oh my... I didn't say that.

That's how it looks.

Here's what he said

"The question I have for you all is, like Pontius Pilate, what are you going to do with Jesus?" Brown asked at the time. "Ultimately, if you don't have a relationship with Him, and you don't really have a Bible-believing mentality, really, anything goes...At the end of the day it matters what God thinks most."

Surely there is more to this?

Climate variability - Yes, the climate changes over time, yes it has devastating effects, no there is not much we could ever expect to do about it.

 

Climate change - The effect man has on the climate.

 

 

 

Just because the first is true, doesn't make the second one false.

 

Just because man has an effect on the climate does not mean "ZZZOMG MAN WILL DIE!!!!" which is the tenor of every single report you hear about climate change. I have yet to see a single report showing that an increase in base temps could possibly be beneficial to mankind.

 

It is impossible that every single climate model shows "disaster" via an overall warmer planet. Yet I have seen none in any major news report... ever. That's a too much Chicken Little for me.

 

You seem to be hung up on the base temps. The rate at which we're causing it to change is what we have to worry about. Our infrastructures and ecosystems are suited to particular weather patterns and sea levels. It's not very reasonable to think that rapid change would somehow be beneficial.

WE control the sun?

 

Human activity is puny compared to the sun. Sure it doesn't help, but it is only a TINY fraction of the total fraction.

 

A co-worker asked me, "You don't think all the cars in KC isn't doing anything?"

I said "But that is cancelled by all the cars that don't exist between Honolulu and LA"

The sum of energy emitted by the Sun—the total solar irradiance (TSI)—varies by only about 0.1% from the solar cycle’s peak to valley. This corresponds to a temperature effect on the order of 0.1°C (0.18°F), as noted by solar expert Judith Lean (Naval Research Laboratory), making it a relatively small factor compared to El Niño and La Niña as well as global warming. It’s worth noting that Earth tied its highest temperature record in 2010 even as the Sun was struggling to emerge from its deepest and longest minimum in a century (as measured by sunspots).

The modest climate effect of this drop was confirmed in modeling for a 2010 paper in Geophysical Research Letters by Georg Fulner and Stefan Ramstorf (Potsdam Institute for Climate Change Research). They used a Potsdam model to simulate climate to the year 2100 in two different scenarios: one in which the last 11-year cycle repeats through the century, and one in which the Sun enters a new grand minimum. Using generous TSI drops of 0.08% and 0.25% respectively, they came up with global temperature dips of around 0.10°C and 0.26°C (0.18°F to 0.47°F). Even the latter drop pales next to the temperature rise of 3°C or more (5.4°F or more) that's expected by 2100 due to human-produced greenhouse gases.

Mark Miesch, a solar physicist at NCAR’s High Altitude Observatory says that “The Sun has both predictable and naturally chaotic behavior”. He thinks it’s plausible that the Sun could see a series of lower-amplitude cycles in coming decades, with valleys as deep as 2008–09 and only modest peaks. There’s also the slim chance of a “grand minimum,” a multidecadal period in which sunspot activity drops greatly. Two examples are the Dalton Minimum (1795–1825) and the more extreme Maunder Minimum (1645–1715). The latter occurred in the midst of the Little Ice Age, a fact that helped stoke current media speculation about what a future grand minimum might do.

If there’s a wild card here, it’s the effect of ultraviolet rays. The Sun’s UV output varies much more sharply than its total output, rising and falling by as much as 50% within a solar cycle. There are signs that UV can influence weather and climate by interacting with stratospheric ozone and shaping circulation patterns. (Some researchers have also looked into how cloud formation might be affected by cosmic rays, which are modulated by the Sun’s UV, but any such impacts remain unclear.)

That caveat aside, it looks as if a future Maunder-sized grand minimum—uncertain as it is—would fall well short of counteracting human-induced climate change. Tempting as it is to look to the highly visible Sun, it’s the invisible threat of greenhouse gases that looms larger in our climatic future.

Which is worse, Petrino crashing her? Or Petrino banging her?

Crashing no doubt.

Wedding website link stating "this site does not contain any visible pages" haha. Damn, wish I could've seen it.

I was born and raised in York.

 

Home to some of the most expensive acres of farm land in the United States. A nice, small town where it's normal to leave your doors unlocked.

 

It's nicknamed, "The Crossroads of the Midwest" because it's the meeting place of Highway 81 (a major North/South route) and Interstate 80 (a major East/West route).

 

I can only go off of my own experiences, but the people I've met and gotten to know there are genuine and friendly. Honest, hard-working folks who are family oriented and love going to church on Sundays.

 

The water tower is ridiculous, but recognizable. It is what it is.

 

There's a large number of fast-food restaurants for a population that's under 9,000.

(Wendy's, Arby's, McDonald's, KFC/Taco Bell, Taco Johns (2), Burger King, Runza (2), Subway (3), Pizza Hut (3), Valentino's, China Buffet (2), Starbucks).

 

I'll agree that the newspaper isn't very good. Loads of typos and just a very mediocre team of contributors. Always get a kick out of the "For the Record" column with all the calls regarding mischievous behavior in the town.

 

York Country Club is a beautiful 18-hole golf course with an even nicer clubhouse. If your a golfer and you're ever in town, you need to try your luck on the back nine. The Aquatic Center on the East side of town is fairly new and is a wonderful place for younger kids to spend their summer afternoons. There are a couple parks, but they aren't anything special. Levitt Stadium is a fantastic baseball field located in the middle of town and the lights can be seen from the outskirts of town on a clear, Summer night. Being a huge baseball lover growing up, this was my sanctuary. I loved spending my Summers with my friends playing out under those lights. The seats hold 1,000 with loads of standing room, it's 405 feet to dead center, and is shared between the Legion teams (High School) and the York College Panthers.

 

Overall I am happy to have been born and raised there. Summers in York were hard to beat as a kid. High school was a blast because we had open campus lunch all four years (with the large number of fast-food places I mentioned earlier) and if you were a Senior, you also had the option to go home over your Study Hall period. Yes, life was good as a Senior at York High. The main sports (Basketball, Football, Track) were never anything to get excited about, football especially, but we always excelled in Cross Country and Golf.

 

Now that I've been living in Lincoln for 3 years, I kind of miss that place.

 

Yeah, high school was fun. What is there to do in York if you aren't between the ages of 8-18 and don't enjoy sports? Eat fast food?

York is still pretty sh**ty.

York is a piece of sh#t town, I'd know I lived there for 16 years and graduated from York High (I wasn't one of the mentally handicapped though). Dan Malleck the old boys basketball coach is a bafoon of epic proportions. All he did as a coach was suck Danielson dick, which is why he never did win a state tournament game in 12+ years as the head coach.

Hmmm... What else to add about York? Oh ya, the newspaper there is sh#t and the publisher is a bigot, just look at his blog. Eric Eckert their IT man is a complete retard, the man can't even create a forum in which curse words are banned (Ya, a moderator had to accept your post becaue he isn't smart enough to write a simple f'ing code in which it doesn't allow you to have a curse word in your post). He ended up taking the forums down because of his incompetancy.

Oh ya that water balloon is hideous.

But the golf course is VERY nice! Ask for Bill if you go, he's the man with a plan!

Never even heard of this guy.

 

Be thankful that you havent. Sometimes I see him on Rome or with that Bayless guy on luke warm pizza. I just wanna throw the TV out the window. Seems like everything he talks about somehow ties into "race."

Jason Whitlock is never on First take I watch that show religously.

But seems like a lot of people need to pull that stick outta their ass, way too uptight.

Nights like these I like to let the liqour do the thinking.

in 10 years or less, they'll want to add "flags" on the belts you know for the players "safety" because tackling causes injuries

Tool
