2017-18 NCAA Football Thread
RockRaines replied to LittleHurt05's topic in A and J's Olde Tyme Sports Pub
QUOTE (Whitesoxin2019 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 12:38 PM) From what I see it’s not lack of quality but quantity. Pretty sure they will fill things out and level out in high 20s early 30s in the nation. Just pointing out many were saying frost won’t be able to bring in blue chip recruits to Nebraska. When he has already. A qb at that. If you can consistently recruit bluechip qbs you will eventually content. The big 10 west has been mediocre but it won’t be a surprise to see Nebraska on top most years going forward. Not sold on Iowa or Wisconsin long term. Nobody said that. I did appreciate your posts on how PSU and OSU were second tier though. That was fun -
QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Dec 13, 2017 -> 02:20 PM) Id laugh but one time I filled out my form and put the current year as my birthday. You ever messed up the month? Thats a common mistake that people with dementia would do.

QUOTE (Whitesoxin2019 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 12:34 AM) yOu cAn’T gEt BLuE ChIp ReCrUiTs tO CoMe tO NEbrAsKa Frost just got his qb.(Adrian Martinez) I have a feeling with Mariota and Milton on his resume+ being a decent college qb in his day, Frost will have no trouble recruiting qbs. Bright future in Lincoln and it’s only been a couple weeks since he took the job. Very impressed. Hopefully lovie can up his game so we can get a winner in champagne. Nebraska currently has the second to last ranked recruiting class in the Big Ten for 2018. -

The president knew Moore would lose but still backed him so he could stick to his principles of bigotry and pedophilia

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 12, 2017 -> 04:21 PM) This is the list of ‘eyewitnesses’ the White House says exonerate Trump Late Monday night, Sanders sent the list to ThinkProgress. https://thinkprogress.org/eyewitnesses-whit...f64364/?ref=yfp Literally there has never been a dumber administration.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 11, 2017 -> 12:29 PM) Is he as legit as everyone says? Been following the rumors for a couple of weeks but don't watch Ole Miss games. Wonder if Peters transfers if Shea can play right away. He's awesome, but had a super sketchy recruitment to Ole Miss including possible payment and a job for his brother. Michigan generally is "above" that stuf but desperate times... -
QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 11, 2017 -> 10:00 AM) There was a lady from Alabama on GMA this morning saying she is still voting Moore because that is who God wants her to vote for. There is a reason they are last in about every category of education you can measure.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 11, 2017 -> 08:16 AM) I was just thinking that recently. It seems the Saad trade as well as all of the moves this past off season have caused them to take another step back this season. They are getting more than enough shots every night though. Statistically I am not sure there is much that supports "lack of energy" unless I am missing something. -
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 11, 2017 -> 08:06 AM) CNN is certainly too easily excitable, and should not be looked at as a source of reliable journalism. At best, I find CNN handy to get an overview of what news items are happening in various corners of the world, just to keep up on topic areas. And come election day, they are the quickest to put up real numbers to look at in an overview as they come in. Beyond that, they are inconsistent, with reporting ranging from good to trash. This is why at some point I set up a feed made mostly of journalistic publications - WaPo, NYT, WSJ, Economist, BBC, NPR and a few local papers. That said, it is kind of hilarious that a White House led by a pathological liar is loving when CNN does something stupid and then admits and corrects it, when he's never admitted to the thousands of outright lies and just plain made-up stuff that comes from him. CNN is excellent globally, below average domestically.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 11, 2017 -> 07:27 AM) One thing the Trumps are about is the truth. Like Jr. and his meeting about Russian adoption. And father Donald doesn't want Mueller looking at his finances. He might make up that Trump isn't worth $10 billion and might be short on the American thing to do and pay your taxes. Donald Trump is a God fearing patriot. Perhaps the greatest human ever. And his spawn are geniuses who just want to help their country. Why it can't be like Fox and Friendsa and the rest of the media have their collective tongues up anything Teumps asses is beyond me. Still waiting on Fox and Trump to give one single retraction for intentionally sending out lies.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 10, 2017 -> 11:56 PM) Fun fun game. Mitch was money as were most of the bears, including some of our young building blocks!!! I like seeing it, I just wish we were moving up the draft board a little bit. We clearly need WR help, badly, and probably some OL and LB. There just isnt a ton of guys you would draft top ten in those positions, outside of maybe Williams at tackle.

QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 10, 2017 -> 07:48 PM) Something has changed in the "culture" It's not just a talent thing. There is NO energy from Kane, Toews Saad, Keith ect. Well, they brought it in the 3rd. -
QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Dec 10, 2017 -> 12:23 PM) http://money.cnn.com/2017/12/08/media/cnn-...tory/index.html You mean this? Because unlike Trump, most members of the mainstream media care about the accuracy of their reporting. And when they get it wrong, they correct it. Now please show where Trump has corrected any of the 1,000-plus lies/falsehoods he has told. Remember. We are now holding the media to a higher standard than the president.

It’s amazing how thing skinned this idiot is. He can lie thousands of times straight to the public but gets enraged if a media outlet makes a mistake.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Dec 8, 2017 -> 12:08 PM) How was he acquitted? What in the actual heck? Because the officer, who was in full gear with an assault rifle, was afraid for his life when the crawling, sobbing kid reached to pull up his pants.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 8, 2017 -> 03:20 PM) Bitcoin's run is so full of open air that it makes the 2000 tech bubble look like bedrock. Also, it's not a currency. It's a "currency" in that you can spend it, and its based on blockchain. But its the vaporware of currency

US Potentially Moving Embassy To Jerusalem
RockRaines replied to Soxbadger's topic in The Filibuster
QUOTE (Quin @ Dec 7, 2017 -> 03:06 PM) Side note: If I were an ambassador I'd muuuuch rather be in Tell Aviv than Jerusalem Ive never been to Jerusalem but Tel Aviv is awesome. -

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 8, 2017 -> 09:31 AM) There is a legitimate Constitutional debate as to whether a sitting President can be charged with any crime at all, and whether a President can obstruct justice (at least federally, I don't think the arguments would apply to obstructing state investigations). Dershowitz takes the side that no, the President can't even possibly obstruct justice as he's the head of the executive branch. That's fine, but other Constitutional scholars and lawyers disagree. It's an unresolved question. Painting it as Dershowitz choosing "evidence" while everyone else is choosing "partisan politics" is a fundamentally dishonest depiction of the debate. He should tell us why Nixon was innocent while he is at it.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Dec 7, 2017 -> 10:01 PM) Not saying this applies to anything going on, but as a young man I "played the field" and wouldn't commit to a woman because I just wanted to experience what was out there. This led to a lot of bitter young women who made up plenty of false claims to slander me. I think their motives were often "well this will get his attention and scare off other women at the same time". A scorned woman is a powerful weapon and I was smeared like crazy for loving and not committing. Not proud of my actions looking back but I had plenty of false info spread about me that I had to unfairly answer for. I'm sure many of you experienced the same thing. Not saying this applies to any of these famous cases, but that level of scorned & crazy is certainly out there in droves, men and women. Can't help but wonder. I'm proud of the women who were assaulted coming forward and i'm sorry for the men who are innocent. And we'll never know who is who since they are all guilty first. Human beings. No offense to your younger self, but the constant here is powerful men abusing their position. You were, well, not.
