    Creighton joins Iowa as Midwest pariahs

    No, you simply are wrong. The phrase "I'm calling a spade is a spade" down south means exactly what the American Dictionary of Slang says it means. It is a racial insult, and apparently has been since the early 20th century. Everyone there instantly knew it was intended as a racial insult...

    Creighton joins Iowa as Midwest pariahs

    The Black guy did something that pissed off the White guy. I want to say that the Black guy called a foul on the White guy but this is more than 2 decades ago. The White guy shrugged and said "well, a spade is a spade." Everyone on that court and sitting waiting for the next game, black and...

    Creighton joins Iowa as Midwest pariahs

    You obviously haven't lived down south. The phrase "a spade is a spade" has been co-opted down there and is entirely racist. I still remember the time when I lived in North Carolina when a very large White guy used it in the derogatory, negative sense to a very short, wiry Black guy during a...

    Creighton joins Iowa as Midwest pariahs

    What the hell are you babbling about? Someone must have hit he booze really early. Or do you routinely decorate your house with swastikas? That's probably it.

    Creighton joins Iowa as Midwest pariahs

    Agreed. People need to understand that the usage of words and symbols changes and what was once benign can become extremely negative. At one time the fylfot was a symbol of good luck on an upcoming trip in Celtic countries. The same symbol was considered a a sign of general good luck for the...

    OT: Vintage Stereo Equipment, what have you got?

    I may be looking to unload some LP's in the future. I'll keep you in mind.

    OT: Vintage Stereo Equipment, what have you got?

    I've been collecting seriously since the early 1980's. The thrifts in Colorado Springs used to be great for records and old equipment. Being a heavily military town you would find all sorts of foreign LP's. I remember going into a Goodwill one day, back when the LP's were .50. They had just put...

    OT: Vintage Stereo Equipment, what have you got?

    I found out the definition of "fun" when I had to move my collection from Colorado Springs to Lincoln. At the time I had 14,288 LP's, just under 2,000 CD's, cassettes and, yes, 8 tracks. I have a 1968 AMX with the original AM radio/8-track so have to have something to play.

    OT: Vintage Stereo Equipment, what have you got?

    I love the Yamaha's. I have a CR-2020 powering my basement system, a CR-1020 in the bedroom system and and CR-2040 in the music room. August, 2015 was what I call the month of Yamaha for me. In thrifts in Colorado Springs I found the CR-1020, a CR-840, a CR-620, and a CR-600. All working well...

    Targeting Rules Need To Change

    If he was looking up he would have hit Fields in the kidneys with his facemask. That is legal. Hitting a player anywhere when you lead with the crown of the helmet is a violation. Rule 9-3-4(1). The crown of the helmet begins at the top of the face opening in the helmet and circles the helmet.

    Nebrasketball +16 Tonight at Wisconsin

    The three recruits coming in next year appear to be better shooters than anyone on the current team with the exception of Lakes.

    I would imagine with covid the buyouts are minimal or nonexistent.

    Penn State #69 - P.J. Thorpe

    Since she was back in Lincoln before he was even hired, I doubt it. Anyway, she has a lot better taste than to date a college football coach.

    Penn State #69 - P.J. Thorpe

    He may have changed, as I know nothing about what has happened at PSU. But I do know that I have a surgeon friend who graduated from Vandy and is what you would call a donor of substance. She was ecstatic when Franklin left because of the sleazy things he was doing.

    BRYCE MCGOWANS N

    I agree. Didn't mean they had no more interest in Sallis, although my post sounded that way. If Sallis changed his mind NU would find a place for him. I just meant that if Sallis is truly off the board for NU, they do have another, very solid possibility.
