  1. When you’re already well into your 70’s with multiple bouts with cancer and you have a friendly Senate and President, it might be time retire in favor of someone who can continue your legacy instead of rolling the dice that you’ll continue to beat increasing odds. Scalia got lucky that Mitch bailed him out.
  2. This is good illustration of why justices need to think tactically about their place on the court and how and when they maybe replaced.
  3. I realize the obvious thing here is Traces of Texas which I’m sure everyone here already follows. (Even I as a non-Texan enjoy it) but what else do you follow for bits of history and enjoyment? I follow accounts that tweet pictures of dive bars from across the United States, non-standard McDonalds, abandoned race tracks and google street views of post offices. I also engage and contribute content to an account dedicated to locating the location of every football that hosted high school football in the state of Nebraska, and one dedicated to Nebraska High School Sports history.
  4. Everyone is clear they’re having the actual meetings after the Nebraska President leaves right?
  5. I think a lot of it is that they are off calendar and still far from normal if they are being played. Even watching on TV the crowd is part of the deal, and I think a lot of people find the fake crowd noise plenty off putting. I haven't watched near as much baseball as I usually do just because it seems so weird. Being in the stands for the K-State game was ok at first, but it just got progressively stranger as it went on. Overall, my sense is the desire for a diminished overall product(in the competitive and normal fan experience) is not as high as one would think.
  6. Or The Gallipoli Order of Excellence
  7. What kids these days are too cheap to get some Natty Light to crumble the benedryl in?
  8. If K-State can’t play ball control, they’re just lost out there
  9. I will say the second half here you can really tell the lack of crowd and energy a lot more now that early excitement wore off
  10. Knowles has learned to catch this year though
  11. I’m in Bill Snyder Family Stadium right now, and this already the strangest sports sports experience of my life. I will say unlike Arrowhead, no booing of Lift Every Voice or the Unity moment
  12. As a Nebraska resident who is about to drive down to MHK to watch the Cats play football, I’d just like to say that I hope sitting out the fall would help everyone develop a healthier relationship with football, but it’s just going to make things dumber.
  13. Everything mustard does horseradish does better.
  14. But they’re already violating one rule of the three F’s you rent, they might not be able to figure out the other two
  15. I always enjoy the argument that education costs have skyrocketed, so they should be happy with the scholarship value, instead of thinking that maybe we should take action to make education more affordable for everyone, and then we could bitch less that players would like to have a greater share of the revenue they generate
  16. He was doxxed pretty fast on local Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc.
  17. Hell, my Grandma enlisted in the Navy as a nurse the first day she legally could after jumping on train from Nebraska to New York, catching a Yankees game then hitting enlistment office.
  18. Since the season is fucked anyway, I’d like to suggest switching to 6-man for the season to limit cancellation potential and to really get weird with it
  19. I picked up Chik-Fil-A for lunch here in Lincoln, and they were fully invested in pretending it was a Nebraska game day with music and decorations and everything. It was one of the saddest things I’ve seen as part of this whole deal
  20. Now if we could get something pro-choice out of him too, I think you get his support to a Vichy sized rump
  21. I will say this stuff is the most I’ve seen my Trumpiest coworker shook by anything he’s done. I didn’t figure this would be the thing that did it, but here we are.
  22. They also went to the underground when the Luftwaffe was overhead too.
  23. I think there are still too many people that think we are going to wake up one day and things are suddenly going to be resolved, and toss out wishful thinking approaches that crumble under stress instead of trying to sort out a process to move forward. I'm sure ISU won't be the last to bail on fans either.
  24. Can't say I'm shocked by this giving the virus spread in Iowa currently. Also, I really wonder what the reception will be of lifeless games will be once the initial novelty wears off, granted it won't be much different for some teams.
  25. Are you trying to say that the American people don't regularly elect absolute morons?
