We have the other thread discussing breakout 2nd year players.  My question is Who will be our breakout 1st year player.  Last year it was Wan'Dale. This year it will be :dunno The poll has 2 questions - multiple choice for offense and multiple choice for defense.  There is an 'other' in...

Book list to go along with the Political forum discussion.  I'm more of a history buff than a current political reader.  Current political books are all full of their biases - full of well 'politics'.  History can sometimes see through those current biases.  I just started this book about...

Yes, I know there is a thread on books elsewhere on HB - put this is the Politics and Religion forum and I think we should have a book list just for those topics.  I'll create one for Politics/History as well. I tend to have several books open at one time - so I'll name 3 here + one bonus...

I was talking wt @Guy Chamberlin on the 2020 election thread about Hubert Humphrey and it got me thinking of all of the "ifs and buts' of history.  Specifically how some really good quality people did not become president but who probably should have been president within their time setting in...

Gorbachev, says it is time for 'A New World Order' of sorts.  GHWB had the original phrase but Gorby wants something similar by stating   the UN should have an  emergency session to discuss "nothing less than revising the entire global agenda" This thread is for discussing forward looking USA...

I thought of this post after seeing  a post from one of our HB posters,   @Nebfanatic, mentioned his mom was ill with C-19 I wanted to create a thread where posters can tell us how C-19 is affecting them personally.  Do they have family members, close friends or others that they know personally...

The article below, prompted some questions.  I'd like to discuss how we are taking steps to protect ourselves besides the standard washing hands, social distancing and the stay at home measures most of the USA is under. What PPE are you wearing in public if any when you have to get out?  Are...

4/17/20 I changed the title of the thread to the encouragement thread to avoid the endless debates about religion.  Which this thread wasn't meant to be but what it came to regardless :facepalm: So I was wondering, how are some of you being creative to encourage and to be encouraged? How are...

Knapp had a neat post in the political thread on the C-19 virus in which he quoted the radio address from Johnny Roger's punt return vs OU. The quote contained what is probably the most famous one liner in Husker Radio Lore.   "Man, Woman  and Child Did that put 'em in the Aisles!"      Lyle...

The best of all time - the answer is obvious.

Paul Begala predicts Trump will Dump Pence for Nikki Haley. To be honest with you - this would not surprise me a bit.  Nikki has become a big disappointment to me.  She has so sucked up to the president by defending his actions during the Mueller and impeachment hearings that I lost all...

After Super Tuesday this may be clearly a 2 man race for the Dem Nomination - esp after we had 3 drop out since the SC primary.  If Biden is the nominee - who do you want as VP? If it ends up being Sanders - who do you want as a VP? and Why

Politicians, always looking for an edge. And reporters always looking for a story.  Thus this article is a perfect match. Pence already looking towards 2024.  We can pick this back up in 2 years. A couple of quotes below https://news.yahoo.com/mike-pence-2024-presidential-campaign-090000463.html

I thought we had a thread on the justice dept but could not find it.   So here is this one.  I wanted to start this thread after reading in the Trump's America thread about the pardons Trump is making this week.    In reading the article below (copied in part) there are 3 important things that...

George Conway is at it again- noting that Trump's firing of witnesses who testified truthfully is an impeachable offense.  https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/george-conway-trump-impeachment-013858062.html So, my question is - will there be a 2nd time and when? This thread is created mainly for...

A quick poll --  do you think the Senate will eventually call witnesses in the impeachment trial of Trump? With the Bolton manuscript draft coming to light, there may be more pressure on the Senate to call witnesses.  Public opinion may force them to do so.  But wt Moscow Mitch, aka The...

Not a Nebraska topic exactly but of interest to Husker fans.  Bo may be in the running for the LSU DC job. I thought the sentence in bold is pretty interesting.  It would seem to me that a coach that has gone 33-28 would have the "power" to influence the pick of his replacement.  Typical Bo...

Ok, time to make some bold predictions on what you think may occur in 2020 in the world of news, politics, etc.  By Bold - I do not mean predicting there will be more than 3 Dems in the NH primary.  Bold is going out on the limb on the 1 % chance it may occur (or 49.9 % chance of it happening). ...

I have yet to warm up to the 3/4 D. I have not been impressed by the results under SF or MR.   My understanding of the concept is that you need premium line backers to make it work - esp Outside LB who can be both great pass rushers and be able to cover RBs and TE on pass plays as needed.  My...

While the article speaks much of Osborne and what he accomplished, in the comparison section it leaves out a vital fact: Osborne did more with lessor ranked players.  Saban has the luxury of being in a recruiting hot bed.  Talent is all around Alabama.  Tom's task was much more difficult to...
