I have a discussion question I'd love some knowledgable opinions on. Is it better to go vanilla in the nonconference schedule when you're playing a team you just flat out talent, or is it better to open up the offense (even gradually) early on so your team has additional time to practice (live)...

I've started paying more attention to football again now that the season is just about upon us. I like 1620's shows--I even like the addition of Jason Peter. But I can't help but notice that between the two new shows, and a few local scribes at the LJS or OWH, there has been a conversation, like...

http://nationalinterest.org/commentary/letting-north-korea-starve-7161 Sounds to me like there is an underlying and unreported political issue at work. In any case, every day that this despicable regime stands is a human rights travesty all over again. The unfortunate reality is it is always...

This video is from the same person (or group?) that produced the God's Emotions series. The process of converting (or 'rededicating your life to Christ') is an extremely powerful and emotional experience that is hard to describe or relate to someone who has not shared it. It has been variously...

One of the things that we've talked about on this board, mostly thanks to knapplc, is the human aspect of religion. Religion is a human phenomena. The rituals and ceremonies, doctrines and dogmas, and all the social aspects that form it are man-centered and derived from human psychology. In this...

http://news.yahoo.com/obama-gay-marriage-support-seen-world-precedent-233515249.html;_ylt=A2KJ3CVFyqtPym4AhnjQtDMD Have to give the president props on this one. I don't see a political advantage at this particular point in his administration. Sure, the base will be happy, but it'll piss off the...

Sorry if this is in another thread buried somewhere. I didn't see it highlighted, but please merge as needed. In the wake of the unfortunate departure of Aaron Green, media outlets have been buzzing about a not-quite shift in our offensive identity: the big back. This raises a few questions. Is...

Ran across this video the other day. I'm no climate scientist, but what this guy has to say is pretty dang encouraging about our mid-range energy future.

:facepalm:

Noah's Ark is one of those stories that, even if you do happen to be a fundamentalist, should be rethought. You know, going forward, long term.

Last Thursday marked the passing of one of the more controversial figures in modern political history. Christopher Hitchens, who was perhaps most famous for his robust breed of antitheism, passed away of esophageal cancer on the fifteenth of December. Many tributes and fond remembrances have...

Warner: Spoilery spoiling spoilers ahead--although it shouldn't matter because I've never seen anything this contrived or predictable. I'm going to start by apologizing for this thread. It's here for no other reason than to give me a place to cry publicly for the death of a TV series. For those...

I know it's only Sunday, but here are the early trends that make me feel good about next week. So far this season, Northwestern's defense has given up, in five consecutive losses: 21, 38, 42, 41, and 34 points. In their most recent win over Indiana, they gave up 38 points. Their best defensive...

http://dailycaller.c...-focus-on-jobs/ How can someone even broach such an idiotic subject without immediately being dismissed from her position? Yes, my most basic right as an American citizen should be revoked so that the same schmucks who failed to 'fix' the economy for the last four years...

These kind of topics tend to go away when there's nothing to complain about. Here's to reversing a trend. I watched the press conference today with Bo. It was long, almost a full half hour. He was funny, engaged, informative, relaxed, patient, positive--after his defense gave up 38 points and...

Hey, anyone know when Bo's presser is going to be today and where you can listen to it/stream it live?

Simple thread topic: What do you most hope to see at the Tennessee Chattanooga game this Saturday? Or what will you be paying most attention to? Mine are, in no particular order... *What will the offense look like? I expect a heaping pile of option.   *Limited penalties. A lot of young...

Hey guys. I'm looking to purchase a digital camera as I'm expecting to be doing quite a bit of travelling in the next year or so. If any of you guys are familiar with the camera market and would be willing to point me in the right direction, here are my parameters. 1. Money. I'm not really...
