  1. Now I love you all 10% more than I did an hour and 22 minutes ago.
  2. I did too. I honestly don't remember much about 2004-2007.
  3. And it appears that Boehner is up to some of the same stuff (e.g., insider trading). We have become captives of our Government representatives. Agreed. I'm completely disillusioned and don't see anything ever changing. I'm not even sure the politicians need the U.S. economy to improve. They're paid by corporations that are global businesses now. The U.S. is a big part of that, but only a part. All they need to do is make sure their constituents hate the other side enough to keep them in office. This is why I somewhat agree with a post made a few pages back. Or maybe that was sarcasm. But I can honestly see a single leader who isn't evil incarnate doing a far better job. They wouldn't need to worry about getting re-elected and keeping the support of drug companies or whatever other companies. They could just do what's right. Unfortunately "what's right" is an opinion and the chances of them being an evil S.O.B. are high The alternative is term limits, which will never happen.
  4. Sorry, I must be missing something... Did you just compare someone who is being investigated for sexual acts with children who were clearly minors and someone who had sex with and later married a teenager who was legally over the age of consent for that state? While what Sandusky did was worse, this guy was 48 at the time he got her pregnant. It's understandable that they're compared. Sometimes you have to look past what the law is.
  5. I can't eat anything so clearly bad @ss

    Ah, my favorite type of post. If you haven't played <insert sport> you're not allowed to talk about it.
  7. People are acting way too scared about Michigan. I know mobile QBs have given us trouble but half the posts I see are people talking as if we've already lost the game.
  8. I wish I could be a female wookie. (In a video game, not real life). Why not a female Sith, probably wayyyyyyyy cooler But everyone wants to be a Sith. Maybe the Sith are shaved wookies. The loss of hair corrupted them.
  9. I'm not sure why anyone ever cites the EPA to prove a point. Their word means almost nothing. That being said, I'm assuming an underground pipeline would be a lot easier to monitor and repair than a well that's three miles below the ocean surface. I don't understand why people focus so much on this stuff though. We're talking mostly temporary jobs here. Temporary is better than nothing, but it's still temporary. We're talking 700,000 barrels per day. That's about 1/30th of what the U.S. uses per day. How much cheaper is it to make this pipeline than to import the oil from one of the usual countries? How much does it actually matter if we do this? Is it because it's lots cheaper, or because we want to buy 700,000 less barrels from <insert name of middle eastern country here>? (I'm actually asking. I don't know the cost comparison). But I think people spend way too much time thinking of how we can get oil faster and cheaper and keep our daily lives exactly the same, and too little time thinking of how we could just consume less oil in the first place. I mean, the chick at the grocery store I go to double bags my toilet paper before I can stop her. (On a completely unrelated note, I really want to know why. Does she think I'll be embarrassed that someone might find out that I go to the bathroom on occasion, and thus want to hide my purchase?)
  10. <-- thought the thread was pretty funny.
  11. Because hiding behind a computer requires balls. I get it...?
  12. I didn't argue that they shouldn't be ranked above us. I just said it irritated me that we can't play them. That being said, I think we'd win.
  13. It's irritating seeing Kansas State above us. I know we can't play in two conferences at once but it sucks not being able to knock them off
  14. On the other hand Nebraska seems to play better when they are ranked lower in the polls and are the "underdog." Who knows how psychologically prepared for the Penn State game they would've been if they were ranked 7th. I honestly think they might have lost because they would have felt more invincible. If Bo can figure this out in future seasons then he'll have solved his teams' biggest weakness.
  15. Penn State's not gonna beat both Ohio State & Wisconsin They just need to beat Wisconsin now that Ohio State lost to Purdue. I still find it unlikely
  16. Wonder how many pairs of gloves Kenny Bell would go through if he got a new pair each time he looked down at his hands. It's just a knee-jerk reaction. I mean, I understand making fun of them, but I look at the tennis racquet when I make a bad hit, and I'm awful at tennis. I know it's not the racquet's fault, but I do it every time.
  17. Yeah, because we didn't beat washington, penn state, ohio state, and mich state...therefore we are not a goon enough team to take on a "bcs level team." People like you severely annoy me. I am sure that you were sure that we were going to lose to mich state and penn state as well. Have some confidence in your team. When we are on our A game we can compete with any team in the country. I think he's saying a team that makes a BCS bowl game. I'm pretty sure he knew exactly what skers was saying. It annoyed me too. I'd rather us get into a BCS game and lose than go to a crappy bowl. I think we can compete too, if we don't have a NW-type game.
  18. I know Robinson is great but I've seen their backup play before and he looked pretty good
  19. Penn State's not gonna beat both Ohio State & Wisconsin
