We are going to kick the shit out of Northwestern to go 6 and 0. I have been waiting for this season my entire life.

MSU secondary looks better than expected, while the offense is worse than expected. ORE QB looks worse than expected, the D and run game look as good as expected*

*Musings from a guy that's a temporary bachelor this weekend and bored off my ass already 🤣

Posted this on the national board but I may get an answer here too:

Heading to the makeshift stadium on the lake for the IU game tomorrow. Looking for:

1) No BS or hassle
2) Dogs/polishes/Italian beef/gyros/onion rings type place; need a local place, Portillo's type menu but not Portillo's.
3) No BS or hassle

I assume these are a dime a dozen but in that neck of the woods, I'm clueless.

Thank you.

And Go Hoosiers.

'And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain that he would return alive, and had to say goodbye to his family?

Stan goes out into his backyard and is shocked to see a gorilla in one of the trees. He runs back inside and calls animal control.

Twenty minutes later an animal control officer shows up and sees that it's true. He thinks for a while, then goes back to his truck and returns with a baseball bat, a German Shepherd, a pair of handcuffs and a shotgun.

He tells Stan, “Here's what we’re gonna do. I'll take this here bat, climb up there, and knock him out of the tree.

Stan says, “Okay, but then what?”

The officer says, “When he hits the ground, Brutus here is gonna go for his testicles.”

Stan says, “Okay, but then what?”

The officer says, “Well, when he tries to cover them with his hands, you slap on these handcuffs.”

Stan agrees and the officer starts climbing.

Stan yells up to him, “Hey, what's the shotgun for?”

The office replies, “Oh, right. If by some chance I fall out of the tree, shoot Brutus.”




and a chick...

I just ordered three tickets, but am dreading, due to my commute distance, the possibility that it will be a night game. What do you think are the odds of a night game? Also the parking passes are sold out. How long before kick-off would I have to get there to get parking at the church across the highway? Any stories-from-hell about parking at the free garages and using the shuttle? Thanks

This reinforces the confidence I have in him as a coach...

The Scandinavian countries are universally considered the happiest and best places to live. With our younger generation seemingly having similar values, could we get there in 25 years? More? Less?

OTE had their combine for NBA scouts and he measured just shy of 6'11" in shoes. It looks like he's winding it down. Georgia Tech, Kansas, IU and Auburn.

Obesity declined for the first time in a long time. If the government is going to try and bring down healthcare costs, subsidizing Ozempic should probably be at the top of the list.

I hadn't, so this was certainly an eye opener... We throw around terms like Christian Nationalist with a vague idea of what some of these folks believe in and advcate for. I'm sure we have a few on this board- you can read the posts...

So hearing them advocate for things like repealing the 19th Amendment and replacing the Constituion with the Ten Commandments may seem like the rantings of a lunatic minority. But combine the interwoven ties to Project 2025, the fact that Peter Thiel is a main mover and shaker, and JD Vance is Thiel's guy and you can start to see how all of this has relevance for 2024 and beyond.

It seems like it's ultra,ultra MAGA and when you dig deep you can start to see why certain groups worked hard to promote Vance as Trump's running mate. And while Vance will work hard to transform his image and keep these links as hidden as possible, it's not as if he can disavow his connections to Thiel, who after all convinced him to run for the Senate and basically financed his campaign...

I knew some of this but had no idea how intertwined these various actors actually are. So on the oft chance that some others are in the same boat and are currently as ignorant on the subject as I was myself, here is the tip of the iceberg...

If so, then college football is screwed up even more than I thought that it already is,

I just don’t think opening the portal during the football season is right. Why not wait until dec or January?

9 years - LOL

This story should make you feel better about young people and the political divisiveness in the country...but for some, it probably won't.

Just spitballing here, but it seems to me that Helene is going to impact voter turnout in a lot of areas of FL, GA, and NC, and those areas will be predominately red/Pub leaning. With GA and NC being so close (and even FL being narrower than expected), would that be enough to put those states in the Dem column? Could that be the difference between a President Harris or a second Trump administration?
