Higgins first team and KJ second team.

This is a big one. Always keeping eyes on QBs that enter the portal, and that may deserve a second chance.

If he doesn't make the Final 4 he's fired right?

SIAP, but this weasel of a reporter blames IOWA for NE’s captains refusing to shake hands at the coin toss. He claims that NE was justified in their bush league, grossly and embarrassingly unsportsmanlike display… because Iowa had celebrated after beating them repeatedly, and because Iowa wouldn’t allow them to huddle on the logo at midfield before the game (those pregame rituals typically happen in the end zone for the vast majority of teams anyway).

The article is a steaming pile of dung, and Mitch Sherman deserves a slap in the face from Iowan and colleague at The Athletic, Scott Dochterman, for being an idiot. Assuming Mitch is a Nebraska alum and/or Fusker fan. If he’s actually an objective observer, he’s even more of a fool for publishing that waste of cyberspace.

CRUZ UR vs 22 Thought cruz wrestled tuff, he just is not there yet 70

133 AYALA #6 vs 23 Like the quick attack to 1st TD!! Crazy scramble to army cradle refs made the right call. Thought stall call against us was BS Quick escape to start 2nd, was that crazy scramble that they looked at for locked hands or something but they were outa bounds!!!Good work in third to counter kids shot and get a TD stayed on gas to finish match !! 98

141 Schriever UR vs 29 Impressive 1st with good work on 1st TD, could not ride kid , then gave up a TD but kept working and got an escape to keep match even. went back to shot that scored for him but kid cut corner, escape early in third and we have us a match!!! Shot across body (bad shot) and gave up a TD with about 40 seconds left, got out again to give himself a chance but could not score. good match 75

149 PARCO #4 vs 26 CRAZY 1st TD maybe even CRAZIER 2nd TD POWER on display!!! Thought Parco was gonna pin him, then kid pops out, match was nutz!!! Did not get why he went to the mat edge when he lifted him into the air in the 3rd??? WAS almost like FS but kept working and got TD, kid is a MONSTER!!!! Wins belt gets major 99

157 Kael Voinovich ur vs ur Nice shrug or slide by for 1st TD, I like him wrestling aggressive, good action with both kids getting after it, announcers did not know the new rule was kinda funny, gets a nice reverse with leg coming in--- then disaster struck!!! NO grade!

165 Caliendo #2 vs 13 lot of hand fighting in 1st felt we pushed the pace mostly, Army down to start 2nd and escape in 15 seconds, finally got thru kids D with a Super Duck type shot!!!Kid cuts him in 3rd then Mikey gets on the GAS!!! TD, tuff ride to bring it over a minute and wear kid down, cut him, shot off counter to secure major 99

174 KENNEDY ur vs 31 Was shooting and getting stuck/stalemates but just kept coming!!! pushed pace gets 1st TD rides a bit then cuts him and another TD and tuff ride out, kept getting stronger as match went on, looks better and better! Cant see brands beating him right now but I guess we will see how it plays out 90

184 ARNOLD #8 vs ur the 1st scramble might have shown where his body type is at a disadvantage as the kid seemed to use his greater height/length to his advantage, also 2nd scramble where we could not score. Back to work in 2nd with a nice pop double, then another TD with short time. west point chooses top, BRANDS with good challenge on cut back to get us a point. Arnold was sloppy but kept his cool AWESOME snap to seal the win at end give him the 8-3!!!

197 BUCHANAN #2 vs UR BLAST double, MAT RETURNS, SUPER DUCK this dude is SCARY!!!!

Heavy Fleshman ur vs 27 zeros in 1st, riden out in 2nd, gives up escape in third and thats all folks!!! 65

Have to tip my hat to ARMY!!! just to go and serve is something, but to Wrestle too!!!!! I had many friends/teammates who played LAX their and always thought about how they managed? Forget how wrestlers do it with training and Army training, and school !?!??! and they wrestled well!!!

Announcers said Tom got his 300th win against Princeton so CONGRATS!!!

So the Pentagon comes out and says they just found out we have double the amount of troops in Syria than they thought.
Good management going on it appears

I've seen updates for several days on this story, and it looks like the police are making progress. Multiple people have reported that while driving a night they came upon debris in the road, and had to swerve to avoid hitting it. In one case the driver could not successfully avoid the debris and wound up in a ravine. Each driver reported a man walking up to them after the accident. The immediate speculation being that the man was putting the debris into the road to cause the incidents.

Everyone is on campus. Workouts are in motion. The new season has begun. Time for a new thread.

At this point, I think it's clear the Payton is struggling this year. He's had a couple of good games, played decently against Northwestern and Michigan, but really fell apart against Utah St and Iowa St. This is supposed to be the leader of the team and right now, he has the 3rd best efficiency rating and is shooting 31% from 3 (27% against top 100 teams). I hope he can turn it around because he might be hurting his draft stock if his season keeps going this way.

Page with the edge on 3 point shooting.

Two of the best this year. Neither on Clark’s level.

I mean, sure I know the thread title is a bit much, but at what point of accumulating wealth does it become OCD/hoarding/narcissism or flat out evil.

I would think at 250 million, or so, a normal human would begin to really start giving the rest away to make the world better. Certainly by 1 billion if you just wanted bragging rights.

With 250 million, you could live an opulent lifestyle and have money set up for all your kids and their descendants to be well off.

They say money corrupts so it makes you wonder about the mentality of the people who just can’t stop accumulating wealth after the first say 250 to 1000 million dollars. They almost have to be warped/OCD/hoarder types and / or massive narcissistic tendencies and / or simply evil.

Remember before you defend, many of these people are despots / oligarchs / dictators. Also remember before you defend these people in human history the last 6000 years billionaire predecessors were almost all most cruel emperors/kings and queens / barbarians hoarding their wealth from conquest and tax of the conquered / peasants.

Cliffs notes: Billionaires should be shunned and made unpopular because almost by definition they are not good people. Sadly, right now they are more often deified and borderline worshipped. A better trend would be to deify and worship the people who give their billions away.

Dec 12 (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Donald Trump in an interview published on Thursday said he will be talking to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his nominee to run the Department of Health and Human Services, about ending childhood vaccination programs.

When asked if he would sign off if Kennedy decided to end childhood vaccinations programs, Trump told Time magazine, "we're going to have a big discussion. The autism rate is at a level that nobody ever believed possible. If you look at things that are happening, there's something causing it."

When asked if the discussion could result in his administration getting rid of some vaccinations, Trump said: "It could if I think it's dangerous, if I think they are not beneficial, but I don't think it's going to be very controversial in the end."

Asked in the Nov. 25 interview if he thinks childhood autism is linked to vaccines, Trump said: "No, I'm going to be listening to Bobby," referring to Kennedy. Trump said he had a lot of respect for Kennedy and his views on vaccinations.
