Why all the pregame trash talk?

[Mierin]

Iowans are very literal and do not understand figurative speech.

There's a name for that.

Abstract



BACKGROUND:


Although people with Williams syndrome (WS) are often characterized as friendly and sociable with relatively good general language abilities, there is emerging evidence of pragmatic difficulties and trouble comprehending aspects of non-literal language.


AIMS:


The main aim was to investigate the comprehension of sarcasm, metaphor and simile in WS relative to typically developing controls. A secondary aim was to examine the association between non-literal language comprehension and a range of other cognitive abilities, both in WS and in the typically developing population.

I’m curious why the OP uses the term “thug SEC LIKE” as if SEC teams have the monopoly of trash talking and being pumped up before the game. 

Racism

[Jason Sitoke]

Coach donates one million( $1,000,000) of his salary and bonus money annually to the hospital.  The ambulances that arrive there carry sick and dying children.  Please show more sensitivity in remarks concerning that edifice.

At least you took the time to make an account on Huskerboard to fight imagined injustice.

Thanks for doing your part.

He keeps them in the conversation, gives them a great year every 5 to 10 years, keeps them from making it to the next level annually.

And gives $1,000,000 annually to the Children's hospital.

Enjoy your last one for the next 20 or so

That is the fourth year in the row that you folks have been saying that.

That is the fourth year in the row that you folks have been saying that.

After this past game is the first time I’ve seen a Husker fan say it and the first time I’ve personally felt it. Just saying this line about Nebraska fans doesn’t make it true. I’m guessing you made it up because you’re hoping the story will stay the same.

Why would any Husker fan have thought Iowa was gonna quit beating us with Riley as our coach?

We're still evaluating where Iowa is.

Every year Kirk gets closer to retirement and Brian gets closer to taking over and tanking your program.

   I did notice some of this behavior during the pregame.  I was the one yelling 'I hope you continue to be suppressed by the British!'
