Trump doesn't understand that military alliances aren't zero sum. He thinks Europe gets more than us out of NATO, which may be true. But he also seems to think if we pull out, we somehow take all that security with us and become safer, at Europe's expense. Which is nonsense; if we pull out, everyone becomes less safe. Because alliances aren't zero sum; they are greater than the sum of their parts, but only when intact.

I’m afraid the student section will be about half full. Why they didn’t move the season a week up in August is beyond me. Having games on Thanksgiving break is just stupid.

I'd venture that 90% of rivalry games are this week

Wednesday. It’s a tradition. 😉

Especially a rivalry game, which the students probably care about more than the players.

Indiana better be locked in because you know PU will be.

Can’t complain about not dropping out of the top 10 with the gaffs in the Shoe

Do judges work this hard to prevent damages for the guilty party? The entire jury seems to have sent the decision. Why is the Judge negotiating... Guilty on all account$ .

Some work hard to promote settlement. Others don’t give a damn.

Still 1-0 66'. Getting some shots, but can't find the back of the net yet.

Sorry but the stats I gave were just the stats. He had experience with a press conference 365 times after a loss and only 315 times after a win. His playoff record was 18-28 and never out of the second round. Sound familiar?

Yes, I am. I agree about Ohio Stadium. The suites and club seating are very nice though and they are adding a private lounge for members next year. The WiFi works great but the stadium itself is just that. I like it though. You can feel the history in it. People used to say the same thing about St. John arena and then they built the Schott and it now they complain that it’s too corporate and professional feel, not college. Remember, Ohio Stadium is over 100 years old. Remodeling the inside and bathrooms though would be a good idea though. There’s a few really good food options in the stadium. For instance near our seats yesterday they have a stand that makes very good burgers. You just have to look. I also like that they have beer and food vendors that come around too.

I sat with my brother and family. He has 4 season tickets and his father in law has 4 together in 26 A. He (my brother’s father in law) sold his Michigan tickets for $3400.

Their restrooms are as bad as I've seen. There was a noticeable sense of desperation at the stadium yesterday, especially in the first half, and OSU was over the top even by their standards. Ryan Day knew that he would be terminated if he lost yesterday and obviously couldn't control himself.

President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in August of 2019. The INF Treaty - originally signed by the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. in December of 1987 - required both parties to eliminate their ground-launched intermediate-range ballistic and cruise missiles (with intermediate being defined as 500 and 5,500 kilometers).

This is the context which allowed Russia to launch the missiles that hit Dnipropetrovsk in Central Ukraine earlier this week. The launch was essentially a successful test that took place in a live theatre. The missiles were not strictly speaking RS-26s as has been reported. According to Ukrainian intelligence the missiles are hybrid of newer developing technologies - namely the Kedr ICBM and the Yars-M. The introduction of these medium range missiles - which cannot be mitigated by any existing defense platform - acts as a non-nuclear deterrent, although they can be fitted with nuclear warheads.

The bad news is that the insane Russo-phobic Neocons who control the Pentagon and NATO will almost certainly continue to pursue actions that push us all even closer to a nuclear confrontation. Normalcy bias does not negate reality. This is where we are. The fact that the worst hasn't happened (and that we who are rational don't want it to happen) does not make this extremely dangerous situation spontaneously cease to exist.

Sounds about right. I was thinking 9th.

Like you, I’m generally not big on coaches shooting off their mouths, but I don’t have an issue with it here. Cignetti has already explained that he made this (and other) bold statement early in his tenure in an attempt to fire up a downtrodden and indifferent fan base, and to generate interest in the program. It worked and, damn, with the exception of yesterday’s result, he’s been able to back up the brash talk.

OSU’s final series yesterday may have sent a message, but Cignetti’s comments last winter had nothing to do with yesterday’s special teams fvck-ups, falling behind, and State teeing off on a QB they knew was going to throw.

Beat Purdue!

I agree with the comment being made before the season started so it shouldn’t be cause to rile their fanbase. However, thanks to social media, it’s been replayed all season long as if it was said the night before the game. That said, we all had it instilled in our brains at a young age, “Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words…words are all I need to make me want to kick your ass!”
