  1. Blitz, when can I expect an update on the class of '14?

    1. JJ Husker

      I think he's working on it as we speak. I feel 60+ recruit updates are in our near future. Then on to 2013....

  2. Assuming his parents are husker fans? LolI can't remember the details. We talked about it a bit in some thread somewhere. I believe his dad played a year at Nebraska. Yes, big fans.Then wtf are we dragging our feet for? That's the kind of passionate player we need. And if TCU is interested, I trust he is legit. Its obvious he's not that high on the coaches board. Why offer a plan d when you could get him In January if you need to?
  3. Woah, woah, woah. You better watch out. Some may mistake that realistic look at things for negativity. Get over it What's the F gif from?

  5. whether you structure it as a negative income tax or a basic income, in principle it's essentially the same thing, and Friendman discusses as much. It's just a small variant in how you calculate it. But whether you write someone a check, give them a subsidy, or give them a tax break, that is a form of income from the government. Giving everyone $20k just for being an American is not the same thing described by Freidman in that video.
  6. Correct, it would require political will. Maybe we don't have it. It would have to be coupled with holistic reforms of the tax system and the type/quality of people we attract to government. Here's an interesting thought experiment: Imagine a world that is completely automated, so that we can put production of goods and services on "cruise control" thereby retaining our GDP growth rate, but reducing the need for people to work. In such a world, should we encourage people to stop working by simply cutting everyone a check and enjoy allow people to pursue less profitable, but potentially important pursuits, or even just increase their leisure time? Would such a situation be different than an extension of the per/hour productivity improvements we've seen which have driven down the costs of goods and afforded people the ability to work only 40 hours a week? Why keep people shackled to labor if we don't need to through automation or other efficiencies? To be honest, that sounds horrible... But think of the time we could spend following the Huskers!! You had me at husk.... You had me at husk...

  8. Probably right up to the point where Brown's face caught a nice loogie from Pelini. No way you're coming back from that one, Brown looked like he wanted to kill him. Also, not all players were loyal. Stafford flat out hatted him. However, the Stafford argument on the sideline was one of the more humorous events during the Pelini era. So he hated him so much that he followed him to YSU? I know he left shortly after being hired but that was take a job with another close friend and at a Christian University.
  9. If you redistribute the $1 trillion, each American would receive approximately $3... The topic is paying $20-30K to every adult... Yeah, lots more government spending. Check your work.....
  10. Wasn't the $20-$30k thrown out by BRB as an example? From my lazy research, it would appear that a person on welfare will receive approx $10k a year. While I would agee with CM that getting rid of the numerous programs under wellfare would save quite a bit of money that could be put towards benefits, I don't think it would come close to providing the amount needed to give everyone that much money. I think our government has proven it is unable to slash spending so I doubt they would find other areas to fund the program. I feel like I'm missing something now, also.
  11. Couple of thoughts.... Please forgive me, as I am no expert in the field (I did take one Macro class in college, though), but I fail to see how this would cause inflation. If the $1 trillion (estimate I saw for welfare payments - people seem to debate the legitimacy of that value) is already in the system and being spent by those on welfare, I don't see how how shifting the money to a larger group of people to spend would cause problems, other than we'd be cutting the benefit to those currently receiving them by approx. 50%. Maybe that isn't a problem as I would imagine there are a lot of people just milking the system... but there are some that truly need it... Also, I don't know why considering their economic beliefs are polar opposites, but for some reason I began reading 84's posts with Bernie Sanders/Larry David voice in my head and it was it quite enjoyable.... plan on doing it in the 'Crootin Forum.
  12. Any suggestions on how the NCAA will mess this whole Ole Miss scandal up?

      They'll try to ban satellite camps next year to teach Ole Miss a lesson.

      Easy, they just won't help with the investigation and deny everything.

      We'll just have to wait and see. We know they WILL screw it up but I'm sure they have unlimited tricks up their sleeve on how.

  13. Anyone know what position he's being recruited at? Looks thick.. may grow into a DT?
  14. Martinez, a transfer from San Bernardino Cajon before his senior year, had jaw-dropping statistics this season. The Nebraska-bound standout threw for nearly 3,000 yards and 28 touchdowns, and ran for 750 yards and 12 scores. Martinez was labeled as an Athlete, not the #1 DT QB in the nation. Point is, stats can be deceiving.

  16. This is my guess Deontre is correct. Matching emojis https://twitter.com/deontrele/status/724327464005042176
