Woodson on TJD Coming Back

“I’m hoping like hell he comes back, because he’s a big piece to the puzzle.”

This is what progressivism has given us

I’m old enough to remember the days of Kathy Ireland and a Rebecca Romijn.

we’re a nation with an obesity epidemic and we’re celebrating obesity for wokeness’ sake. Our healthcare costs are mathematically higher by a significant amount because of our obesity rate.

Oh, and of course I would. But that isn’t the point.

“Promise made; promise kept.”

Went to Notre Dame’s commencement this weekend. (The Kid Down the Hall added an MBA.)

There were a lot of impressive features, not the least of which was seeing more people in the stands than at an IU football game, but that’s a discussion for another time.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a better speech than that made by Jerome Bettis. After leaving for the NFL in 93, he promised his mother he’d get his degree. After a HOF career, even if it was with those hated and evil Steelers, and further success in life, Bettis came back and finished his Bachelors at the Mendoza School of Business. His speech was dynamic and moving. It hit the heart hard. And you could tell he was loving it. He practically floated out of the stadium as they left the stage.

The main speaker, Borys Gudziak, the Ukrainian Catholic Church/University, is probably someone unknown to just about everybody. In a stadium filled with tens of thousands, you could have heard a pin drop during his moving and emotional talk about the courage and honor of his fellow countrymen. (He did crack up the crowd by pulling out a football and fulfilling one of his childhood dreams of throwing a pass in The House That Rockne Built. It was caught by a graduating coed in the first row.) I believe Gudziak is the effective Archbishop of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Philadelphia.

if you have a chance and you can find it I recommend watching these two speeches. I’m not one for big commencement ceremonies. But this one packed a punch. Bettis was great. Gudziak was powerful.

Go Irish! (That’s for Sope. He chides me for my reversible IU/ND jacket.)

Illinois St.@IU: IU 12 ISU 7. Seven-run 8th wins the game...

Here we are at the last home game of the season and RHP Luke Hayden will be on the mound for IU with an ERA of 5.70 in 23.2 IP, while LHP Ryan Weaver will make just his second appearance in a game this season for the Redbirds and has an ERA of 6.75 in 1.1 IP.

In the T1st, Hayden gets the first two batters on a ground out and a K. but gives up a two-out single. A force out at 2nd ends the inning for the Redbirds.

In IU's 1st, Whalen leads off and grounds out. Jessee then strikes out for two outs. Glasser reaches on a throwing error by the SS, but Mathison strikes out to end the inning.

Kentucky's High Schoolers are not Caliparied

Well, OK, here is my annual pitch to remind true basketball fans (especially the ones who wrongly think basketball has been ruined by the AAU and McDonalds and NIL) that excellent basketball will once again be on display on June 11 at Southport Fieldhouse.

Duh, it's the 82-year-old Indiana/Kentucky All-Star Game.

82 years??? Are you kidding me?? That's about 13 times how long most of the Water Cooler's regulars were able to stay married their first time (and for some of them the second and third times, too).

Also, 82 years is about 5 times the duration of several European
governments since WWI.

There must be a reason an event has lasted this long. In all the games I attended in the past, the kids that play in this game have played their asses off in this game. You will definitely see defense and sound coaching. They will hit their foul shots. They will get pissed if they commit turnovers.

No Kentucky players will show the cowardice of Calipari to even show up at a game in Indiana. Both sides try to win the entire game. If you love fundamental basketball, you won't be disappointed.

Advice on starting up in business as painter and decorator.

Hi. I am calling on all the professional painters and decorators for help and advice. I have been working in the corporate world for too long and I have had enough. A complete change is called for, so having been decorating my own homes for 27 years now, loving it and, I think, quite good at it, I am seriously thinking of setting up my own painting and decorating business. Ideally I would like to work in homes and small office environments interior painter near me. To get this going I am sitting here looking at an application form to do a painting and decorating course at the DIY and Building Skills Training Centre in Hurst, Reading. Does anyone have any advice on any of the above please?

I guess the Biden Administration thought know one would notice...

With every other disaster they've created going on I guess they thought they'd just slip this one thru with no push back... Dispicable is the only word that comes to mind when I think of the people running the Biden Administration... Lower than...

The Great Replacement Theory



Is there a difference between:

Theory 1: a conspiracy theory that some secret cabal of Jewish people and Illuminati types are trying to "replace" white-skinned people with Muslims or Latinos

and

Theory 2: a theory that in the U.S., (a) demographics are and have been shifting towards an ever increasing % of Latinos via immigration and birth rates, (b) Latinos have historically voted about 2-1 in favor of Democrats, (c) that Democrats, in general, have more liberal immigration and path-to-citizenship policies, (d) human beings and political parties are motivated by a desire for more power, CONCLUSION: at least one reason for (c) is that Democrats want more power--that it will benefit their party more.

Regarding Theory 2, factual premises (a)-(c),I think, have been pretty mainstream thought for over two decades. Premise (d) doesn't seem like much of a stretch, does it?

Is wrapping up Theory 2 with Theory 1 just a cynical ploy to convince people that believing Conclusion 2 is not only wrong, but actually racist (i.e. it's so wrong don't even listen to the argument because it's verboten)?

I'm really curious about this. I don't buy that there is a cabal of people trying to "replace" white people. But I think quite a few people in the world--including me--would like to see a blending of all peoples together so that we don't have these distinctions anymore in however many hundreds of years it takes (and which is where we are headed anyway). Am I a replacer? If I believe Theory 2, does that make me a racist or a believer in a conspiracy theory?

Finally, it is bizarre to me that the Great Replacement Theory would be a motivating reason for anti-black hatred and this shooting.(No doubt the Buffalo shooter suffers from some mental illness as nearly all these people do.) Black people are increasing as a % of the population, but not at nearly the same rate as Latinos or Asians and the growth is due to bi-racial growth (which I see as beneficial)--the % of people labeled as "black only" is actually decreasing.
