October surprise!

Maybe. But Harris might beat him, too. The point is that the story here isn't that the Dems threw this away by picking the wrong candidate. The Dems were always going to be the underdogs. The GOP was the party in the driver's seat. They were the ones who could have locked this up at the convention by nominating the right candidate.
There were three other chances to remove Trump from office. Impeachment #1, #2, and right after Jan. 6th. But the republicans in congress chose not to do so. They didn't have the balls to do the right thing.

GameDay @ Bloomington just announced...

No, I'm not. I yawned just listening to you explain your perspective. It makes sense why you like it.
Well to each his own I guess. You are right I am a boring old fart but I am absolutely giddy about all of this. I have been waiting for a long time. Let’s just hope it all goes well. Go Hoosiers!

Yes and no. The narrative always was its good for countries economies. However, that is a bullshit. Almost all immigration is a net negative for developed nations, with large safety nets. And it’s especially bad for the working class people living in the country.

In the US, immigrants consume less social welfare per capita than native born. Often, much less:


There is nothing that prevents us from changing our safety net laws to block immigrants from full access for 5 years (or any other number) to eliminate that concern. We could require 5 years of work before becoming a citizen.

I do not know when your family arrived but there is a damn good chance people did not want them here. Since its founding, this country has had a real love/hate relationship with immigrants.

October surprise!

Supposedly big Republican turnout for early voting. I've been visiting the nursing homes and collecting votes there and taking them to drop-off boxes, now that I know tracking is supposedly impossible.

It used to be considered nice to help people out. But then, paranoia struck. "Would you take some mail for me?" "Sure" walks out door, notices ballot, "Omg, I am committing a felony" throws stack of envelopes including a ballot in dumpster and runs to car. End scene

You just said immigration. I think we should have a lot of immigration.... But it should be done a much more deliberate and intentional manner. Not the free for all we have now.
Not that the past is predictive of the future in all cases, but our most productive citizens are probably descended from people who came over in a free for all. I only say that to suggest that when it comes to the value of a particular immigrant, we have to consider future generations, as well.

Washington/Indiana Prediction Thread

I hope we Win by 80..., but given all the unknowns (Washington coming off a Bye with new packages, some of their injured coming back and T's first start this year)..., I'm leaning towards :

INDIANA...... 37
Washington 27

I figure we'll kick more FG's rather than going for it on 4th down this time out...
Cig doesn’t kick field goals. If we are around the 30 and have a lead and a manageable 4th down, he’s going for it.

I just heard Tim Clifford died yesterday

That’s good news. I thought he was kidding about the return of the double decker bus. I was there for that game in 1973, Corso’s first. The bus full of players and coaches was part of his introductory circus act. Ironically, I was just thinking the other day, wondering whatever happened to that bus. I guess I’m about to find out. They can’t drive it onto the field now since the end zones have been enclosed.
Yeah I’m not sure what they are doing with it. They tried to find original but could not.
