Tack on 25% or more and tell me what kind of reaction you get from the working class family trying to make ends meet.

You don’t make your own bread? You don’t buy vegetables in quantity at the local farmers market and can them for use over the winter?

These things surprise me

It's almost like they've created AI power point presenter BOT's, right in front of our eyes. One world order, or else damn it ! Resistance is....... taking everything back and the bot's will be "unplugged". Johnny 5 is, over.

Sadly, I am afraid the pain will need to be much worse for us, before we stuff this genie back in the bottle. But if we do it, one piece at a time, an arm on main street here, a leg on a street sign there.......... We may shut it down. eventually. I hope they can hear us now.

Digging into them a little more, it seems they are a defensive team with good balance on offense. Surprisingly, mostly US born players with a few New Zelanders. I'm expecting a tight low-scoring match.

I like our draw if we can get by Denver.

I was there. We beat a pretty talented Purdue team that day in Johnny Pont’s last home Bucket game. They had Gary Danielson, Otis Armstrong, Darryl Stingley and Dave Butz, if memory serves. The bands did fight, Purdue Pete’s head, which was much bigger then, got bashed pretty good, and there were fights on the field during much of the second half. And we won. Great day.

Click to expand...

A little before my IU football memories, but this would have been ‘71 then. I believe this was a pretty big upset at the time.

I know Pont’s last game was the next year, ‘72, a 40-0 blowout at PU. I vaguely recall my mom, dad and brothers going to that one.

IUNorth said:

Look for where teams like Bama and Ole Miss are ranked. If IU drops down to where we're the "last at large" team, and those two teams are right behind us, that would make me nervous. Similar comment on Clemson. If they're right behind us, they could play there way over us with a quality win over South Carolina. None of those teams, like Indiana, will have any more games for evaluation. So if we're 11 or 12, and Clemson or Bama or Ole Miss are 12-14...when all the other games play out...while its unlikely, we could get bumped by a team with more losses.

Click to expand...

Teams like Bama and Ole Miss who are going to be ranked behind us have no favors by playing Auburn and Miss St. If all three teams win Saturday, Bama and Ole Miss aren't going to jump IU as Miss St, Auburn, and Purdue are all bad teams.

True. Prices rising for this or that good isn’t necessarily due to currency dilution. But the effect is similar, if isolated. And, of course, what secondary effects come from that will hinge on the magnitude of the tariff.

Either way, it’s bad public policy…even if the motivation is less about trade protectionism and more about leverage against another country for unrelated policy changes.

So, you were OK with the D inflation, but are questioning a more level playing field is worse, somehow? I get the slight feeling that there is some irony in your question. Or are you using Nuance? Or are you using bullshit? All are possible and understandable, but I would just like to narrow it down.
Added question. Are you OK with China and the EU placing, as high as 100% tariff's on our products? Thank you and we look forward to your comments.

Which has won more than our high ceiling low floor guys. Not sure what the right mix is but wisky will be a very tough matchup for us this year. Rebound well, defend and play hard.

Click to expand...

How about some high floor/high ceiling players/coaches/standards. Not sure why this needs to continually be hashed out. I want IU to be as good as Wisky and/or Purdue...as long as that lasts for about a month on an otherwise upward trend more towards being more like Kansas, Jay Wright like Villanova, recent Hurley like UConn, etc...

all depends, I don't think MM is an NBA player, haven't seen McNeely this year just going off of the handful of the Montverde games I watched. to me they would duplicate each other on this year's roster. time will tell, got a bad feeling about this Bahamas trip hope I'm wrong

Hurley said of McNeeley recently..."He's the most college ready freshman I've ever coached." Not sure that implies NBA success, but its pretty high praise for a guy that's won back to back Natty's, with some key freshmen on those teams.

Unlikely, as you've said. But sure, it would be nice to have a bit of a cushion.

Being redundant here, but if we kick Purdue's ass we should be fine.

Click to expand...

I hate the thought of not kicking their ass in convincing fashion. Wouldn’t they like to be the ones to shatter our dream, much like the upset in ‘89 when we lost not only a bowl bid, but also AT’s chance for the Heisman. That was probably the most devastating IU Bucket loss in history.

Okay...well...fvck you for bringing in the rest of the world, then.

Believe me, US kids are spoiled only in comparison. Their lives are still a shit sandwich through no fault of their own. And many are so resilient, it would break your heart. As my wife says, the biggest hurdle new teachers have to overcome is that the ones who are the hardest to love are the ones who need it the most. (Sorry if that was a sappy platitude).

Click to expand...

Sometimes platitudes are reality - but in getting back to what we were discussing….

I agree there are kids that are lost as innocent victims - but that has nothing to do with a) us being a representative republic, b) an impotent Dept of Ed, c) systemic racism or d) whatever other bogeyman people who refuse to take accountability adopt.

It has everything to do with cultural rot and lack of parental accountability. Lack of accountability driven by selfish people, by fatalism being shoved down throats by DEI/Woke grifters, and by politicians that are worthless.

An aside: It even further pisses me off that my kids have straight A’s, are student athletes, are model citizens and will only have a 5% chance to get into the school they want to attend. If you can convince me a Dept of Education can solve that - then I’m actively listening.
