So the other day I got a private message from TGHusker. He expressed curiosity about how someone like me could go from accepting the Christian faith to holding the positions I now do. I hope I am not trespassing on the privacy of the conversation, but I figured that since I am going to share the...

This seemed like a timely thread to start. Pew Research Center just released an important study looking at the continuing trends in American religions. The results are a little surprising to me. Not because of the trends they show, but because of how rapidly the temperature change is happening...

Refreshing, isn't it? I've watched enough college football not to be swept away by the superficial aspects of running a program. There are plenty of ways to skin a cat. But watching yesterday's Spring Game and all the events that led up to it these past few months, I have to say I'm impressed...

Today the world became a slightly safer place to live (although I have serious doubts Iran ever wanted a bomb in the first place). NPR Click here for the major points of the deal agreed to by all interested parties.

So you know that question about what would you say to God if you met him at the pearly gates? Stephen Fry has a pretty cogent answer.

Back from a bit of a sabbatical . . . Found this story to be almost as unbelievable as the thread about Republican senators trying to deliberately torpedo ongoing peace talks with Iran. Link

Or, along those lines, what do you think/hope Coach Riley's vision for the program and selling the program will/should be?

Link.

You can vote with your pocketbook. You can vote with your feet. Or thanks to the design of Huskerboard, you can just plain vote. Here it is, as simple as I could think to make it.

Buckle up. I take forever to say anything, and this one gave me more than I was hoping to digest. If last night's game made you go apesh#t (*sheepishly raises hand*), or despair, or rise from your seat in the waning minutes, take stock of that. The previous two or three seasons have left many...

Let's start with this: It doesn't really matter. The college football industry is built on generating and sustaining hype. It's like Fox News. String a story together any way you like. Analyze the last fifty matches, break out the calculator and stat sheets, call Vegas. All bullsh#t aside...

College football is a seasonal thing. As a fanbase, we spend out winters rehashing the omens––good or ill––from the season before. Spring finds sports writers and their laziest and least informed. It's not their fault, this drought of truly useful information, but so many eye catching headlines...

Did anyone see the play he went out on?

There's something that's been bothering me about this country lately that never used to--that is, not to this extent. I grew up in the midwest. I'm a Nebraska boy. I've shot, killed, gutted, and skinned my own fauna a few times, and I have negative-zero problem with hunters, hunting, or the love...

Well, here we are again. I could stop there and have said everything that need be said. Nebraska has once again gone on national television and humiliated itself in yet another legendary meltdown. Notice how you didn't flinch when you read that? Notice how ordinary, maybe even comfortable, the...

So I put this question in my update feed awhile back to little result. Not holding out much hope, but I will be moving to China prior to the season and I would like to be able to catch games. So far as I know I have no options to record games in the states, but if anyone has experience with...

Early, premature, etc. and so forth. But there's not much else going on, so here's the game. Assuming all our current commitments sign and show up without incident, what does the two-deep look like next September?

Colorado and Washington state both passed legalization measures. Finally, the shift begins. With an Obama win I think this means the beginnings of sensible policy. Here's hoping.

Out of everything that was seen and heard during last night's massacre--the only predictable thing Pelini teams are associated with anymore--this comment is the most important. The most revealing; and, frankly, disastrous. When Watson politely fled the state I said this was Bo Pelini's Don...

I think most of us are at the same place after watching last night's game. When Bo was hired I said that whatever happens, come hell or high water, he deserves five years to get things turned around. That was the level of the mess he inherited. A dispirited team seemingly devoid of talent, or...
