    Do Animals Have Souls?

    Ugh...so this weekend, I just had to explain death to a four year old because the family dog, 'Husker', passed on. The wife and daughter are taking this death especially hard, and I thought about trying to arrange a discussion with the local Catholic priest (as my wife is Catholic) to see if it...

    BTN and the Lack of Nebraska Baseball Broadcasts

    Folks-- Was going through the schedule, and I noticed that the BTN is starting to put more baseball and softball games onto its schedule, but they're using the 'Student U' tool (student-run broadcasts to give kids experience) to do this. Of note, Michigan and Michigan State had multiple games...

    Nebraska and Iterative Strength Ratings (as of 03/21/2012)

    Was looking at the rankings for this week, and saw this nugget (courtesy of Boyd's World): Now, why do Iterative Strength Ratings (ISRs) matter? Because they provide a clearer picture of team (and conference) quality over the Strength of Schedule (SoS) or the Ratings Power Index (RPI), and...

    The truth about the Presidental Candidates and the Deficit

    Steven Ratner of CNBC brought this Washington Post article up for discussion this morning. It's interesting in how, based on what each of the GOP campaigns has brought to the public, the deficit is poised to increase substantially, regardless of whoever is elected into office. The article...

    Nebraska and BYU...a relationship best left undeveloped?

    By now, I'm sure we're all aware of Nebraska adding BYU to the schedule, as well as the discussion that there is a handshake deal which may add BYU to future schedules in all sports, not just Football. If not, here's the article from the Journal Star discussing the football development. Now...

    How do we feel about a Big 10 Baseball Tourney at Werner Park in Omaha?

    http://www.wowt.com/news/headlines/Big_Ten_Looking_At_Werner_Park_139235833.html I've never been so I don't know, but from what I saw online, it doesn't look nearly as good as TD Ameritrade Park. Any reason the B1G isn't going after the good baseball park in Omaha?

    Nebraska Baseball 2012 Schedule

    Thought I'd get this up since we're discussing non-con and conference schedules. I did overlook that we don't play Michigan State during conference play, which could hinder us if Michigan State is as they are projected to be (read: one of top three teams in the conference). *04/11/2012...

    Romney's Minimum Wage Proposal Sparks Conservative Backlash -- Yahoo News

    Mitt Romney just isn't having a good today today. After being blasted in three states by Santorum yesterday, Romney was just starting to get the foul taste out of his mouth when he was attacked today...by his own party...for engaging in "class warfare". Why? Because Mitt Romney suggested that...

    American Slavery 2.0?

    Just got done reading an article via FARK.com regarding for-profit prisons and how they're being used to deluge our country with cheap goods (despite restrictions in place) and how they're quickly becoming the 21st century's version of work camps or debtors prisons. Article Link Of note: And...

    http://deadspin.com/5857515/ Of note: Look--I know we've railed on Matt Millen (myself included) on these boards. But he's right, and I think he's pretty much saying a lot of what we're thinking--that it's sad we're not protecting our children and thinking of them in this situation.
