      @Savage Husker  Disney is clearly on a spurt of remaking their cartoons. With no agenda at all it's reasonable for 1 of the leads to be a minority even if the original cartoon character was not, when the character is not from a specific location on earth (i.e. she's from the ocean). Whereas if the character is supposed to be from France a few centuries ago she should be White, or from Iraq I think he/she should be Arab. With Ariel you're free to just pick the best actress, no need for an agenda to do that. With Beauty and the Beast it's not realistic for the character to not be White unless they change the era of the movie. Same with Aladdin being Arab. (Although looks like they went another direction with Jasmine, not that it really matters).

      @Savage Husker   I'm sorry, but casting the best actor for the live action version of a character from a cartoon, who happens to be a different "race" (not sure if that's actually the case since she was a mermaid) does not require one to have an "agenda." Also, that word gets thrown around to damn much. Ya, their agenda was to have a really good singer and actress play the lead role in the movie.

      @Savage Husker  how is it an agenda that's being pushed? After this movie, the overwhelming majority of Disney leads will still be White. Having a Black actress playing Ariel in the remake of a Disney cartoon about mermaids doesn't require an agenda.

  4. Wonder who rated Frost so low on all coaching categories.  https://www.insidetheteam.com/scott-frost. Expected a little higher.

  5. It's a bit humbling watching the LPGA pros destroy a golf course you grew up playing. 17 under after 2 days?

  6. Had a buddy who lives near Boulder tell me he wouldn’t be surprised at a minimum of 40/60 split Husker/Buffs fan at the game. All his friends have been selling their tickets to Husker fans at 2-3x value. Anyone hearing the same?

  14. How many Huskerboard notifications do you get per day on average?  I feel like I am around 8 or so.  I would guess some of the mods are in the 50's?

      At this rate Rusty will eventually find the Husker football forum.

  20. I’d like to start biking.  Paved trails and what not.  I’d like to get something decent, but not go all in.  What kind of things should I be looking for in a bike?  Suggestions?

      I've been riding a mountain bike my brother got as a Christmas gift when he was 10 in the 1980s for the past 8 years, and it works just fine. And I've never used it as a mountain bike, I use it to ride on the streets/trails in Lincoln & Omaha.

       

      Long story short I don't think you need to buy a nice bike before you decide if you're gonna stick with it.

       

      That said, it's possible my bike is nicer because it was made in the 80s? Maybe a cheap bike now would suck. I'm not sure.

      As ladyhawke said, get a good seat.

  21. This has been the worst instance of trying to avoid spoilers for GoT. I've barely glanced at social media and deliberately avoided anywhere that might mention what happened last night, and I'm still seeing stuff.
