GOP States Are The Most Dependent On Government it is only welfare when someone else is receiving it. i will point out that this is a ratio: revenue produce vs. federal tax dollars received. but it fits the makers vs. takers narrative, just not the way republicans would like.

One off-hand comment about nine wins got me thinking - we have tons of excuses for Husker Problems. They date back decades. Lately we've separated ourselves into a couple of camps (E or I), but that's just the most recent stuff. There's tons more. So many more that we really need to organize them. We need a list, like the Rules of the Internet (NSFW), the most famous of which is probably Rule 34 (If it exists, there's pr0n of it). Basically, you can sit around bickering about Taylor Martinez and Bo's departure to Miami or you can help with this list. Don't be a chump. Chip in. The list so far (in no particular order - numbers are for reference only): Excuse 1 - It's Bill Callahan's Fault Excuse 2 - :01 second Excuse 3 - We should be back in the Big XII. Excuse 4 - Bo Pelini inherited a wrecked ship, Osborne inherited a team that had won two national championships. Excuse 5 - The cameras always focus on Bo. Excuse 6 - Tape-gate. Excuse 7 - Bill Callahan didn't wear Nebraska gear to a presser once. Excuse 8 - Aaron Green didn't get a fair chance. Neither did Cody Green. It's not easy being Green. Excuse 9 - #9wins Excuse 10 - Harvey Perlman meddles in the program too much. Excuse 11 - Taylor Martinez is the best quarterback to ever play for Nebraska. Excuse 12 - It's the defense. Excuse 13 - Too many 11am games. Excuse 14 - Tim Miles is better at social media than Bo. Excuse 15 - Hire Scott Frost. Excuse 16 - Barney Cotton is the root of all our woes. Excuse 17 - A player said something on twitter. Excuse 18 - We're not the greatest fans. Excuse 19 - Shawn Eichorst doesn't support Bo. Excuse 20 - That booster said something once. Excuse 21 - Bo only hires his friends Excuse 22 - Stars don't matter. Excuse 23 - The backups don't get enough playing time. Excuse 24 - ESPN sucks and/or hates us. Excuse 25 - The Media hates us. Excuse 26 - Signing small classes hurt your rankings Excuse 27 - Large recruiting classes have more lower-ranked players and hurts your rankings Excuse 28 - We need to run the Option more. Excuse 29 - We need to pass it more. Excuse 30 - We need to run it more. Excuse 31 - Tim Beck!!!!!! Excuse 32 - We don't use the Fullback anymore Excuse 33 - Callahan killed the Walk-On program Excuse 34 - Does Bo ever take a good picture? Excuse 35 - We should have kept Shawn Watson Excuse 36 - Bring back Marvin Sanders! Excuse 37 - That Penn State player was out of bounds. Excuse 38 - Suh got robbed of the Heisman Excuse 39 - Tommie Frazier got robbed of the Heisman Excuse 40 - That Florida State player fumbled at the goal line. Excuse 41 - We play more games now Excuse 42 - We don't have enough night games Excuse 43 - Our schedule is too weak. Excuse 44 - The southern schools never play in the cold Excuse 45 - All our bowl games are played in the opponents' home stadiums Excuse 46 - The SEC oversigns Excuse 47 - Our Offensive Coordinator/Defensive Coordinator is terrible Excuse 48 - Our linebackers coach is terrible Excuse 49 - Our offensive line coach is terrible Excuse 50 - Other teams have a quarterbacks coach. Why don't we have a quarterbacks coach? Excuse 51 - I'd rather do things the right way with quality guys and lose a few than be like the SEC Excuse 52 - It's hard to recruit southern kids to a cold-weather school Excuse 53 - Nebraska doesn't have an ocean/beaches Excuse 54 - Too far from home (or anything actually) Excuse 55 - The Administration doesn't support Bo so we can't land big-time recruits Excuse 56 - We don't spend enough on recruiting so we can't land big-time recruits Excuse 57 - We need a bigger recruiting staff to land big-time recruits Excuse 58 - We can't recruit in Texas because we moved to the Big Ten Excuse 59 - Missouri, Kansas and/or Kansas State are better therefore we can't steal as many recruits from those areas Excuse 60 - Nebraska talent is not what it once was Excuse 61 - Nebraska HS offenses no longer fit the Huskers scheme which hurts our numbers Excuse 62 - We suck at basketball, so there's not a big game for visiting recruits in January Excuse 63 - Omaha is the closest major airport, so flights in are a logistical nightmare Excuse 64 - We don't cheat/oversign/pay the players Excuse 65 - It's easier to get into another school academically Excuse 66 - There is too much pressure from the fans' unrealistic expectations! Excuse 67 - The top of the student section is empty. Excuse 68 - The blue hairs don't stand up and cheer. Excuse 69 - The stadium sound system sucks.

Ian Rapoport@RapSheet From #NFLGameDay: Penn State is preparing to lose Bill O’Brien. Their AD is ready to make a strong push for #Bucs coach Greg Schiano.

apparently it is his birthday.

Hey Huskerboard, needing a little advice and/or info. It looks like after more than a decade Huzkerbob will be moving back to the good life! I am about 90% sure that a big job offer is coming my way in Lincoln. Good news, but my initial search for rent housing hasn't come back with a ton of good options. There are a lot of houses for sale, but that means I have to make a more informed decision about what areas would be a good fit for me and my growing family. Problem is I haven't been to Lincoln for anything but football games in years, so I don't really know where to look for housing or what neighborhoods to avoid. My job will be near the airport on the west side of town so thats something to consider. It would be a tremendous help to us if any Linconites could share some info. More specifically, what are some of the best schools in the area? Affordable housing for a large family? *What are some areas to avoid? Opinions, advice, personal antidotes? Heck, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Now that Eichorst has confirmed that Bo's staying, what does he need to do to win YOU over, Bo-leaver? First, winning a bowl game sure would help. Everyone feels a little cheerier after a bowl win. And if the opponent happens to be Oklahoma or Texas then all the more. Second, failing that, a staff shakeup would go a long ways. I am of the opinion that Papuchis, Beck, Els, and Dobson all need pink slips. While I think Kaczenski, Fisher, Brown, Joseph, Cotton, and Garrison have earned their stay I sure hope if Bo is going to shake things up he would hire externally and not promote (which is part of to Bo-haters' beef against him) and surely any new OC/DC would bring in their own guys.

Stuffing and green bean casserole are God tier, imo. Let us discuss...

Is it time Timmy starts looking for a new gig? Some of his calls are Pants On Head Stupid

Amazing that a town of 68,000 can put 21 players in the NFL. That town may have more top recruits than the whole state of Nebraska.

There are certain posters around here that throw around the Sagarin ratings a lot during game week. I'm wondering if anybody has actually take a long look at these? A two lose Wisconsin team ranked ahead of Ohio State? 4-7 Utah ranked at number 26 (25 if you take out the FCS team)? Link: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaaf/sagarin/

I asked the question in the game thread because honestly I didn't know. Who is our special teams coach? So I looked it up and apparently Ross Els is our linebackers coach/special teams coordinator/recruiting coordinator. How is one guy supposed to do so many things a year? Keep him at linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator and give someone else the duties of special teams. I honestly feel bad for the guy being asked to do so many things.

You know the drill. / jacked from AR Husker Fan's Look-alike post last year. How could anyone improve on this?

People are doing cool stuff printing tools and all. But I don't think I'd want to put a printed weapon next to my face and fire it.

D-II Football Scandal Was Evil And Brilliant

World Series: BOS vs LAD BOS in 7 Glad to see the Pirates win last night, really good and young team.

It seems like every Husker football fan has an opinion right now on who should be the next coach at Nebraska. But really, what coaching candidate is there that would choose Nebraska over USC or Texas? Don't get me wrong. I'm not running down Nebraska. But realistically, both USC and Texas have more money and more resources than we have at Nebraska. Just the advantage in recruiting alone would make it hard for any coach to pick the Huskers over these other two programs. This makes Eichorst's task all the more daunting. That is, IF he is even conducting a search at all right now. I say "IF" because it is a very real possibility that the Huskers are not actively looking right now. Maybe they are trying to fix things--trying to put the wheels back on the wagon. Instead of getting a whole new wagon. Another factor working against us is our own history. We fired Solich when he was 10-3. That alone would give pause to any top coaching candidate considering the Nebraska job. Thank you Steve Pederson. And remember how Pederson bungled the coaching search? It was a joke. We went after half a dozen coaching candidates back in 2003, Only to be rebuffed each time. When we finally hired Callahan most of Husker nation was glad to have an end to the pain. (Unfortunately, we only thought the pain had ended.) And that's not to mention the money. If we fire Pelini now we'll end up paying $4.5 million in buyout cash. That's a pretty steep price to pay for any school, let alone a Midwestern land grant university. Have we even paid off the Callahan buyout yet? All I'm saying is that I hope things don't spiral out of control like they have the past two times we made coaching changes. I hope Eichorst has the wisdom to guide us through this thing into better times. I hope we don't act rashly and dig an even deeper hole for Nebraska football. Because if we don't, things could get worse before they get better.
