  1. To be left the fuck alone
  2. Syngenta is bought. It also should be noted that they were Swiss, and Bayer bought Monsanto. So the only big American player left in Ag stuff on the chemical seed end is Corteva which was spun out of Dow/DuPont.
  3. Chizik was just the DC at UNC in 15-16 and gave up 645 yards rushing to a crippled team of rape enthusiasts, and ranked solidly in the bottom half of defense nationally.
  4. No when he coordinated the North Carolina defense a couple years ago and didn’t stop anybody
  5. Why would Gene Chizik under Mack go any better than it did when he was there a couple of years ago as DC?
  6. My Mom played volleyball, basketball, and softball in college in the early days of women’s athletics, and my Grandma was MVP of her WAVES Navy basketball team in WW2, and played some exhibition tennis matches against the reigning women’s US Open champ in college.
  7. Pissses me off some much I posted twice
  8. Saying assless chaps pisses me off so much. Might as well say sleeveless overalls too.
  9. With an assist from a pretty healthy dose of hog and/or cattle shit.
  10. They’ve ran out of stickers in my suburban Nebraska precinct
  11. https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/crime/article220565400.html So alledgedly Jeff Henry was dealing meth and buying sex while up in the KC area
  12. NBC should of known she was a System Anchor.
  13. Less people means more room for cattle and that’s all that matters
  14. Carl got out ahead the posse yet again.
  15. It's Bayer now.
  16. Every good American hates Oklahoma and therefor there is no one without a rooting interest.
  17. All the tickets have been sold for the first time this season. How many regularly show up remain to be seen.
  18. They do play CU or OU 5 out of the next 6 years OOC.
  19. Central has a really weird attendance area, you get the neighborhood that Warren Buffet lives in, and then some that Warren definitely doesn't live in.
  20. It didn't hurt. There's some follow up articles that are still behind the paywall that expound on in further. One example is the Auburn, NE football program that produced the Kelsay brothers in the late 90's that made the NFL. 10 years ago they were getting 80 boys out for football, this year they have 29. They've got 35-40 less boys in school, but the bigger deal is they've got 27 out for Cross Country. Perkins County in Western Nebraska that sent a few kids to Lincoln over the years had to forfeit last week because they couldn't field 8 healthy players. They've got 22 out for cross country. When I was in HS in the late 90's we had 90% of the boys in school out for football, now they get about 60% after a consolidation and that's with a program that's in the playoffs most every year. The big metro schools haven't put out as much talent lately. Omaha Central hasn't sent any kids to Lincoln in a few years, and that's the program that produced Gale Sayers, Ahman Green, and a host of others. It's seems like the OPS schools are starting to bounce back as there are top 100 kids this year and next after about a decade drought.
  21. You also have to look at the sharp drop in kids playing football in Nebraska too. We’ve lost close a quarter of the football programs in the state the last 30 odd years. And the remaining don’t have nearly the participation either. There’s just not that many kids in Nebraska either. https://dataomaha.com/media/sports/high-schools/football/the-disappearance-of-high-school-football/
  22. That should be one area where they shouldn't struggle, plenty of big corn fed farm boys in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas etc.. Yes. There’s a bunch of instate linemen playing out of state. Fant at Iowa and Holtorf at KSU top that list this year.
  23. Fucking up line recruiting since Callahan is really coming home to roost.
  24. I’ll just point out that Doane is off to a good start again this year.
  25. Nebraska walk program slipped for a number of reasons. The Dakota schools moving up to FCS put a lot more scholarship money out there for kids that would have walked on at the same time as tuition increased. Out of the 29 in state kids that have made the NFL since 2004, 17 played out of state, mostly at Dakota schools or for Solich at Ohio. Pelini especially just expected instate kids to walk on without much effort put into the program at the same time too hurt, especially since they weren’t committed to getting kids reps like Osborne did. Nebraska used to run multiple stations at practices with all the kids that got players a lot of work in. Hudl being started in Lincoln also got a lot of film out on Nebraska kids that wasn’t happening before which sent more kids to different schools. To expand the Conneally deal more, they have one of the most well known Angus purebred ranches in the world. There’s a ton of money there. Sure there a lot of farmers Coop scholarships and such but those get used at any school in Nebraska too. I had Purina feed scholarships to Doane in Crete. I don’t think you can really act like something that a ton of boys and girls got in Nebraska made a big difference.
