  1. I am a new member. Been a Husker fan for 52 years. Loved Devaney and Osborne. Loved Frank as a player but recognized he was not the man for the HC job after losing TO recruits. Hated Peterson...knew him when he worked at AkSarBen...a worthless egotist then, who only got worse over time. He fired FS a year late...but since he delayed in 2002, he should have given FS another year, though I think FS was destined to fail as HC. Hated the Callahan hire all the way...though I think he actually had things coming around in 2005 and 2006 before losing the team after the USC debacle in 2007. I liked the Bo hire, finally realized he was destined to fail after the very first Wisconsin beat down we received in 2011. I am very relieved that we now seem to have a very competent, mature, capable and experienced staff.

     

    I've been temporarily banned from another site for having my opinions and am hoping that the moderators on this site actually allow opinions and are not jackasses who enjoy "vacationing" folks for no reason at all. So...my question for the regulars here is...are opinions allowed here?

     

    opinions are allowed

     

    sadly, facts and reason sometimes are not

  2. 100%

     

    Also, why do immigrants have to learn some of this sh#t? Some of these questions are useful basic government stuff (When do you register for SS, When is the tax deadline, How many years is a Senator elected for,etc) but god lord it doesn't matter if they know how many stars are on the flag or where the Statue of Liberty is or not. If they want to be here and want to work and pay taxes and abide by our laws, let 'em in.

  3. I won't lie...my boat was ridiculously awesomely bad. It was so heavy and the suspension so terrible that you could just glide right over any speed bump or obstacle with no disturbance at all. Even if it was "sage green" and used up half of the US petroleum reserves I enjoyed having a car that I could treat like utter garbage (cuz that's what it was) with almost no consequences. It's probably living a second life as a demolition derby car right now.

  4. Ok, so we went through a pair of oil crises in the 1970s leading into the 1980s...

     

    So why were cars in the 1980s the biggest, least aerodynamic, boxiest, ugliest behemoths that the roads of the world had ever seen? Did we not discover "fuel economy" until the mid-1990s or what? Did we look at all the gorgeous cars of the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s and just gouge our eyes out with spoons and say "f#*k it?"

     

    I owned one of these for a couple of years.

    The life vests were under the seats, and it had an unfortunate scratch all the way down the starboard side. It had a freaking 5.0L V-8 and got about 8mpg in town (I actually calculated this for myself). But most of the popular mid and full-size cars looked similar to this, and many that i've seen were unfortunate shades of gray/sage/light blue/brown. What in the world happened in the 80s???
