Can one of legal minds on here explain to me how her explaining how she fcked Trump and how much she hates him has anything to do with how payments to her were posted by Trump’s accountants?

The first unbiased judge that hears the appeal on this case will throw it out.

There were not too many surprised last night, I think everyone expected Braun to get the nomination for governor. I'm not sure either would have been a surprise in Spartz v Goodrich, so Spartz's percentage may have been a bit higher than I would have thought. Statewide, Haley won 21% of the vote. In Hamilton County it was 33%.


Since Biden isn't opposed, it isn't as easy to figure out the number of non-Biden Democrats. Michigan and Minnesota indicated there might be a hefty number.

It could be that Democrats crossed over to vote for Haley. In which case that means nothing. But it is hard to get people to go out and vote in a primary, period. So that 33%, or even 21%, seems high just to be that. And Haley is getting about 20% in closed primaries. So the fall election may well be determined by that 20%. They didn't want Trump enough to vote for someone who hasn't been in the race for months, will they go ahead and vote Trump in the fall.

You can see in the Wiki that before last night, Trump is averaging 75%.


Some closed primaries and Trump's percentage

Kansas 75.5
Florida 81.2
Wyoming 100 (no one else on ballot)
Pennsylvania 83

I am not pointing this out to say Biden will win as I don't think he will (the Republicans still have a structural advantage in the Electoral College). I am saying this is going to be an election determined by who is willing to hold their nose and vote. I once heard Johnny Carson use the phrase, "The evil of two lessors". That is where we are.

CJ West, 6-2, 300lbs. DL is a CB for the Hoosiers. WOW. He will solidify the defensive line. Let's hope the Indiana staff closes on CJ.

I was listening to this in the background while doing some late night work.

With Hemenway to Vandy ...
Could Blackmon be an option?

Us not being included is a direct reflection of our current state of irrelevance...-all they NIL money ... this is taking a turn for the surreal

I would really like to see us get him.

the corner 3 seems to be the preferred shot in the NBA, been watching a lot of the playoffs, you see a ton of corner 3s and they seem to shoot a high percentage. being a prolific 3-point marksman in my day I always preferred shooting from the wings, didn't have to worry about stepping out of bounds and the backboard gave good depth perception. in the corner it looks like you only have about 2 feet from the 3-point line and out of bounds on an NBA court

I guess the name change will be official in February of next year.

Saw a rumor that it is closing in next couple weeks. Say it ain't so!

Trump is in the clear on that one

Interesting. On to the next guard/shooter

Next up is a look at Penn State for 2024-25.

One interesting aspect of PSU 2024-25 is that 9/10 of the players most likely to see playing time are current or former transfers, and the 10th is a true freshman.

The biggest ? for PSU is the status of Ace Baldwin. He did not enter his name in the portal and wasn't invited to the NBA camp. He hasn't announced any intention to go pro either in the NBA or Europe. And PSU hasn't recruited a PG out of the portal. So it appears he is returning, although he has made no official announcement. If for any reason he does not return PSU is probably a bottom 4 team in the BT.

The possible rotation players appear to be:

--6'1: Ace Baldwin
--6'4" Freddie Dilione (TR)
--6'8" Kachi Nzeh (TR)
--6'8" Puff Johnson
--6'8" Zach Hicks
--6'6" Nick Kern Jr.
--6'11"Yanic Niederhausen (TR)
--6'5" Demarco Dunn
--6'8" Eli Rice (TR)
--6'10" Miles Goodman (FR)

The 5 position is the 2nd biggest question mark for PSU. Goodman is a borderline top 100 HS recruit who will probably compete with Nzeh and Niederhauser for pt.

Otherwise there are a lot of other interchangeable wing types with Puff Johnson and Dilione perhaps having the highest ceilings. Dunn is a former top 60 UNC recruit who has yet to make much of an impact.

Assuming Baldwin returns PSU projects to be much like last year. 1 star player, uncertainty at the 5, and 6 or so competent wing players This looks like a 7th to 9th place 10-10 type team.

Alex Hemenway committed to Vandy today, so another native Indiana player goes elsewhere.

“I said to Angela Merkel, ‘Angela, how many Chevrolets are in the middle of Berlin?’ She said none. I said, ‘You’re right about that. But we take your cars, including cars that aren’t that expensive, like Volkswagen, relatively speaking.’ I said, “do you think that’s fair?’ She said, “Probably not, but until you came along, nobody ever mentioned it.”

Anyone know how Dolson and Coach Cig got connected? Did IU hire a search firm that reached out to CC, did CC (or his agent) reach out to Dolson first, or perhaps someone like Nick Saban reached out to IU and said you should talk with CC? Fascinated to know how IU ended up with what I think will be the best hire since Mallory. CC doesn’t have to beat OSU, Michigan, and Oregon (although an occasional upset would be sweet), but he has to win consistently against teams like Maryland, Rutgers, Northwestern, Minnesota, ect. I’m really looking forward to the next few years of IU football.

I started off thinking about why we don't have a lockdown tri-state recruiter and it occurred to me that Cheaney doesn't want the hassle and all the work that goes into it. He would do a fine job in Armond Hill's seat however.

I guess I don’t understand what replay is really supposed to do. I mean, if there’s something egregious called, how can you not review it? Seems like a very good way for officials to sway a game knowing full damn well there’s nothing anyone can do. How many other calls are there that aren’t reviewable?
