  1. Taking the NCAA's side here? Ok....
  2. Negs probably have less to do with "wokeness" and more to do with the fact that on a thread about explicit racist taunts directed towards our players, you jumped in with, "actually, it is I, the white man, who is the real victim here."
  3. Wrong. Aggy only hires coaches with Nattys on the wall. Mack Brown, come on down.
  4. Thank god we're not in the big xii where horns down is a penalty. Thanks SEC!
  5. Anyone seen a list of recruits hosted by Alabama this weekend?
  6. Yeah smoke all your weed before you cross into that god forsaken land
  7. Whatever happened to that dumb girl who had to go to LSU bc she was too stupid to get into any halfway decent school? I assume she's a grifter with a podcast?
  8. Cooperating in the prosecution of others is a totally different story. Choosing to not give up a constitutional right should not be seen as "not cooperating." There are other ways to incentive pleas that don't involve increasing the punishment by several orders of magnitude should the plea be rejected.
  9. Because the government is now in front of a judge saying "your honor, this person is such a grave threat, that they must be imprisoned for 33 years." Anything less is insufficient. Yeah, its true that just a few months ago we thought this case was worth 7 years, but now we think its worth more than 4x the amount. There are no additional facts, btw, that would justify the departure. Everything we knew about the defendant's conduct, we knew when we offered 7. Had the defendant accepted the plea, the Gov would have found itself in front of the same judge, justifying why 7 years is an appropriate sentence on the case. And LOL at you're use of "cooperate." Giving up a constitutional right, pleading guilty, and being sentenced to years in prison just so the gov't doesn't have to do their job is not what I would call cooperating. Two days ago, a colleague lost a trial. The defendant was offered "time served" from the people prior to the trial. He maintained his innocence. A jury disagreed. The people are now asking for 3 years in prison. Is that fair? Is that justice? But this is a regular practice. I've begged clients not to take a deal bc I believe the defense was solid and they were innocent. But they had offers to plead for "time served" and knew the DA would be asking for multi-year prison sentences at trial if they lost. So they took the deal, got out of jail, and now have a felony on their record. The entire concept is built around scaring people into pleading guilty, regardless of the state of the evidence; and, bottom line, you are punishing people for exercising a constitutional right.
  10. I couldn't help but go to the anti-Semitic/pedophilic/racist website because the alternatives aren't convenient is a take. TBH, its not so much using the site that bothers me. Its posters who bitch non-stop about the grave threat of the messages being amplified on twitter, but still use the product. Edit: I understand that the media's reliance on Twitter to push their stories is mostly to blame, and its left users without much of an alternative. If the larger media groups decided to stop using Twitter as their primary form of disseminating their product, the site would be rendered obsolete overnight. But, that would hurt the bottom line. So instead, you have *very serious* think pieces written in serious publications about the dangers of the rise of antisemitism, posted on twitter right next to a post by GastheJ3ws1488. Feels like I'm taking crazy pills.
  11. Maybe. Trial Tax is still a bullshit concept.
  12. Agreed. But despite everyone's OUTRAGE at what he's doing, many here can't even be bothered to go somewhere else to get their news and memes.
  13. Actually, would be pretty on point. How did you guys combat climate change back in the 2020s? Oh, we just assaulted the weathermen.
  14. you look at the las vegas hospital and its just all about not naming their does but sometimes naming does other does names so that when you call for does they say which doe do you want what kind of place do you think we are a zoo for deers or something
  15. Just to be clear. You will be calling for Sark to be fired if he goes 10-2?
  16. No. The videos don't go away when you scroll down either. Once you scroll far enough so that the first post (with embedded video already playing) is gone, the same embedded video just pops up on the bottom quarter of your screen, blocking whatever is there. Truly a pop-up ad. How much are @NebCornholio and @GoBigRed paying you to plaster their podcast on every football page on the site? Hopefully quite a bit.
  17. Both videos are muted by default
  18. Can someone rid me of these meddlesome pop up videos? Starting today, when I click on a board, the top post contains a streaming video ad. So far, its either a Nebraska Fans YouTube Channel, or a streaming video for goats?
  19. Also that Sark was deliberately "lying" about the injury
  20. Was the car alarm sound effect after a turnover new? How about the semi in reverse for an opposing team's penalty? Sounds deliberately created to be so annoying that one cannot help but look. And we're pumping them through the sound system at 150db. On purpose. Also, agreed on the volume level. Went to a game last year and gave up on having conversations with the guys next to me as we were cupping years and shouting from 6 inches away.
