that was very uncomfortable to watch. The risk/reward made no sense. He just barely missed shattering his legs.
September 30th, 2011 at 8:52 AM
it’s a shame. because of the issues, he was never able to work and mature his game in the offseason, ever. he was always a great defender and solid rebounder, but never have the opportunity to work on his offense.

That’s pretty naive considering the latest polling numbers. The eventual GOP candidate is also going to get a bit of a bump from choosing a VP, most likely Rubio who will help with the South, Tea Party, and Hispanic vote.
September 30th, 2011 at 9:12 AM
I would be that President Obama will be reelected. However, it will be close and the Dems will almost certainly lose the Senate. Just too many seats to defend there.
September 30th, 2011 at 9:12 AM
the helicopter and him being fat is the bad? he pretty much has stuck to what he said he would do. he cut a lot, a shitload, and taxes haven’t been raised. too early to tell whether or not the outcome from it. hard to find bullshit from him.
September 30th, 2011 at 9:12 AM
He currently has the body of the all powerful teacher’s union stuffed and mounted on his wall. He’s keeping down taxes while finding other ways to create revenue. And he refuses to put large sources of money into things the state doesn’t need. I mean, that’s the biggest thing. He’s been an extremely strict belt tightener, except for funding a new casino.

September 30th, 2011 at 9:17 AM
Reason enough that he should be running the Universe. With Mama Swanson as his number 2.
September 30th, 2011 at 9:17 AM
Because he knows how to talk to both sides; a no nonsense approach to politics. There was a NY Times article last year about how he and Democrat Cory Booker worked together to get shit done in the state of NJ.
A Booker-Christie ticket would be awesome.

But that’s pretty much what happened with Carter before. He inherited a mess from Ford and made promises to get the country back on track. Never happened and Reagan capitalized.
Lots of parallels between Carter and Obama.

James Carville has said that he would guarantee that Rubio will be the GOP VP in 2012. Yes, I know he is a Democract, but he he did call that this GOP race would come down to Romney/Perry with the GOP sticking with the safest/boring bet as they usually do (see: McCain in 2008, Dole in 1996) and he made this call back in early June before Perry was even out there trying to raise dough.

Yeah, don’t see how the Dems are going to maintain all of the seats they have to defend. Tester, McKaskil (sp) are going to more than likely lose. No credible challenge to the other D senator from PA, and I think Warren is going to stomp Scott Brown to take back Mass.
Morgan Stanely isn’t going to funding that place, book it.
September 30th, 2011 at 9:22 AM
It’s quite laughable to hear a lot of their points. I’m about 50/50 on Obama, but right now I can’t find many redeeming qualities in any of the GOP candidates.

The difference is, Ronald Reagan is not coming through that door to save the GOP.
September 30th, 2011 at 9:23 AM
there’s obviously a lot of time left for something to happen (good or bad), but the stock market is up, there is a better health care law on the books, unemployment has been stagnant, but short of making laws forcing corporations to spend their reserves of cash on employees what else can you really do for a quick fix, bin laden is dead, afghanistan and iraq are winding down, and everything that has been proposed has been given a “No” from the other side of the aisle that aren’t ashamed to say they want him to fail and have no regards for the success of the country itself.
September 30th, 2011 at 9:23 AM
well fuck, according to the 506 I am about 30 miles outside of the Vikings-Chiefs broadcast. that sucks. everyone’s favorite broadcaster is doing the game do, it could have been iconic.

It’s why the GOP VP nomination is going to go a long ways towards deciding the election. I think Obama is going to have a tough time winning if Rubio is on the ticket. But if Romney (my assumption) ends up picking someone like Pawlenty, I don’t think the GOP has a chance.

So 2012 will be the reverse 2004. People will vote for Obama simply because the GOP candidate will suck so much.

I made the mistake of watching that election with a couple of my Democrat friends (I was a senior in high school) while hanging out at the house of one of my Republican friends. We were outnumbered like 10 to 1. I was so upset at the thought of Bush running the country for four more years.
September 30th, 2011 at 9:29 AM
Thanks.
And of course I get the late Fox game because it’s Falcons-Seahawks. Damnit!

if the economy still hasn’t greatly improved, and there is still a gigantic divide between the upper class and vanishing middle class, she would be urged to run.
it should be interesting to see how this whole class warfare thing plays out, hard for the GOP to say they aren’t in the tank for the top 1%
September 30th, 2011 at 9:32 AM
Because Democrats were the party of “yes” from 2005-2008. This argument is nonsense. Both sides do it.

Not like the Republicans have said no. If there were another financial crisis, this government could not do anything to salvage it because of the House Republicans flat out refusing to do anything. You’ll recall that the Dem-held House and Senate worked with the Bush administration to pull off TARP.

is there some sort of formula or something? what if you’re in two really long term relationships before your married?
September 30th, 2011 at 9:35 AM
I dunno. I cant seem to recall a party denying everthing the other side presents. Hell, every other president was allowed to raise the debt ceiling. The whole thing just smacks of sabotaging the US for political gain.

You Guys! Politicians are all scum. Just accept it. It makes your day a lot less angry. There is no savior. Obama seems like a great dude, but he alone can’t do anything when he’s got 600 dumbasses fighting beneath him.
This country is run by the rich and corporations anyway. Did anyone watch Colbert last night….? His crusade against weak campaign finance laws has been simply amazing. That guy should win 15 Emmys.
September 30th, 2011 at 9:40 AM
This is highly debatable.
September 30th, 2011 at 9:41 AM
see the debt ceiling argument. it could have been proposed a ratio of $100 in cuts for every $1 in additional revenue and they still would have said no. $1000 to $1 and it still would have been no.
Obama’s whole thing in the campaign was “yes we can”, Boehner flat out and said “Hell no we won’t” in a rebuttal.
the whole political system is broken, very few are actually looking out for the country, most are looking out for their own jobs.
first thing that needs to be done is eliminate redistricting for the purpose of maintaining the incumbent party. it should be competitive.
September 30th, 2011 at 9:41 AM

I highly recommend everyone watch the episode from last night where he creates his own 501(c)4 (I think I might have gotten that wrong, but it’s something like that). Unlimited anonymous donations for all!

I love how that was done by the Kaiser company. I laughed when I saw that. I’m not saying it’s a faulty study, but I think that’s something to consider.

Like the time Senator Obama came out against raising the debt ceiling when Bush was in office? Both sides play the game. Get over it.
September 30th, 2011 at 9:45 AM
yeah, ask anyone who would have been dropped or denied coverage to a “pre-existing” illness if this system is better or worse.
also, showing that health insurance companies are jacking up premiums has more to do with the health insurance business than the law itself.

Wisconsin’s offense is most certainly legit. Their defense will scare the shit out of me until they stop a legitimate offense.
September 30th, 2011 at 9:56 AM
That is pretty nasty. I’ll be curious to see what shape the course is in.
Yeah, they have a shot, but it’s going to be damn tough. Playing average Wisconsin teams at night in Madison is tough, so I can only imagine what it’s like playing good ones. I think Wisconsin wins by 10, though. Dennard is still nursing a torn quad even though NEB says he’s healthy. All you had to do was watch the Wyoming game and see him pull up lame a couple of times to know he isn’t right. That means a redshirt freshman will be on Toon, and that fucking sucks. Neb’s LBs outside of David have been a monumental disappointment thus far.
September 30th, 2011 at 9:58 AM
Until we get a viable 3rd Party, nothing is likely to change regardless of who is in office.
While I’m no fan of Obama, I’d honestly be fine if he gets reelected as I think political gridlock is somewhat good for the country. It seems like the big mistakes happen when either side has complete control.
September 30th, 2011 at 9:58 AM
This is rich coming from a Penn State fan. I think Nebraska goes 10-2 this year. I thought that in August, though. Martinez is a guy that will take several years to learn how to be a QB, not just a runner. He’s still a ways away from being a good QB in my opinion. Nebraska has 2 freshman as their 2/3 WRs, too. They are young at some key spots this year.
September 30th, 2011 at 10:00 AM
Wisconsin wins fairly easy Saturday night but NU will get revenge in the B10 title game with a much improved and much healthier defense.
September 30th, 2011 at 10:01 AM
We will never have a viable 3rd party. See Duverger’s Law for why.
September 30th, 2011 at 10:01 AM
BTW, kudos to Wisconsin fans for not selling out and giving their tickets to Husker fans. People around here are saying this has been the toughest ticket to get that they can ever remember.
September 30th, 2011 at 10:01 AM
Until we get a viable 3rd Party, nothing is likely to change regardless of who is in office.
That’s kind of my view. I just don’t care anymore. Nothing’s going to change. I guess I kind of view Obama as a decent dude more than the republican candidates, all of whom seem soooo slimy and don’t really have any ideas other than talking points. But yeah… fuck ‘em all.
September 30th, 2011 at 10:02 AM
You and I are on the same side of the fence here. I don’t have the foggiest idea how A&M opened -3. The line should’ve been Arkie -6 from the beginning, and still inflated to -6.5 or -7 through the week. A&M has a great team, but they are so prone to being outcoached and outschemed that they will struggle against good teams.
September 30th, 2011 at 10:03 AM
BTW, kudos to Wisconsin fans for not selling out and giving their tickets to Husker fans. People around here are saying this has been the toughest ticket to get that they can ever remember.
I have a lot of friends in Madison.. they said this is by far the toughest ticket to get the last 10 years or so. Some are just going to pre-game and then watch the game in the bars. Too expensive to get inside.
September 30th, 2011 at 10:04 AM
The type of people who run for office dont want that. There are too many perks with being a career politician. You’re exempt from shit and you vote for your own raises.

I don’t see many of the retired congressmen giving up their fully paid for health insurance for life. Also a steady pension and $170k salary per year. Yeah, there needs to be some term limits and tying Congressional pay to Average household income.
September 30th, 2011 at 10:08 AM
Any big game involving Nebraska traveling in will be a tough sell. Those people have nothing outside of Nebraska football and they’ll spend a shit load of cash to get into the game.
September 30th, 2011 at 10:09 AM

Wisky fans aren’t give up their tickets though.
September 30th, 2011 at 10:11 AM
Not sure what one has to do with the other, PSU isnt ranked in the top 10. But at least as a Nebraska fan you realize you’re going to lose to the 2 (probably 3) best teams you play.
September 30th, 2011 at 10:12 AM
Sure they aren’t. I’m not saying Nebraska is getting 20K in the building, but I suspect they’ll have around 10K there. Everyone wants to be the good fan until someone offers them $500 for their ticket.
I think they beat OSU, MSU and Michigan and slip up somewhere else.
September 30th, 2011 at 10:14 AM
I really don’t know how I feel about this game to tell you the truth. the mood around here all week has been like everyone’s dog died after that game last week. I can’t say I would be surprised to see Arkansas come out flat, especially with the early start time for the game.
September 30th, 2011 at 10:31 AM
tougher than last year’s OSU game where OSU was no. 1?
September 30th, 2011 at 10:31 AM
As this week comes to an end I’d like to give TBL a big thank you for having Jenn Brown’s breasts so prominently displayed in the header all week. Tip of the cap to you.

tougher than last year’s OSU game where OSU was no. 1?
Yeah… I dunno… don’t really understand it. But everything I’ve heard is that this is almost an impossible ticket. Maybe more Neb fans driving up the prices?
