Smerconish this morning

It’s a very good point - which is why it’s a mistake to use absolute language in talking about elections.

There have always been and will always be occurrences of voter fraud. That does not mean that it’s rampant or that it’s affecting the outcomes of elections. But it’s also wrong to suggest it isn’t something we need reasonable safeguards against. It will always happen, but we can and should do things that make it hard to pull off while not making voting a laborious thing to do.

Smerconish this morning

Smerconish was talking about not turning singular irregularities into something more. He was quoting someone else, saying that we have voting locations that will average double the foot traffic of a Starbucks. These voting locations are one day popups. The workers are woefully underpaid.

Let me add undertrained. For decades I worked, we had a 2 hour training session, that was it. It had no role playing, no job shadowing, nothing. A person at the front lecturing. Your average Starbucks employee is better paid and much better trained.

There is a margin of error on election day. Do we think every Chick-fil-A balances every register to the penny every day? There will be precincts not balanced to the vote.
I listen to Smerconish most days on POTUS. Good guy and good show. Very even handed. Used to be a Republican and worked in Republican campaigns. He’s officially independent now, but he’s conservative IMO.

Its really hard to root for OSU....

I think there will be much more clarity around this after the games today and after the first CFP rankings Tuesday night.

Oregon at UM is another key game today.


This is true. Duke is giving Miami all it can handle too. Would love to see some more of the top ten get exposed so IU can move up (assuming we continue to take care of our own business)

UConn Practice Video

Why would I need to name any coaches? You don't get it. Do you really think Hurley needs to attack any coach? Especially one he just competed with on the recruiting trail..and won? You are ignorant,and arrogant,if you think Hurley is taking the time to single out Mike Woodson in an interview. Reality check...dumbass
You and Willdog must hate each other. Woody can't have 2 buttlickers at once, so one of you loses out.

Just out of curiosity, what did you mean by saying that my laughing at your post showed my “true colors”?

I know what you meant. I’m just curious if you’ll admit it, or if you find it ironic at all that you do stuff like that while constantly whining about how mean McMurtry is.
I suspect he thought that you found the float funny and condoned it, rather than finding it offensive and condemning it. The latter is what people should think about it. I’m sure that’s what you think too.

Its really hard to root for OSU....

I don’t think it matters. A 2 loss OSU with a win over IU would probably make it into the CFP over IU. A 2 loss PSU with a B1G championship loss likely makes it in over IU.

I think IU needs to win out to make it into the CFP. Unless the CFP rankings are much different, our #13 ranking makes it challenging to leapfrog folks without winning out. A loss to OSU would have a lot of ppl saying “I told you so” and probably drop IU back to #15 again.

The other outside shot is 4 B1G teams making it but that is probably a stretch

Looking For Crowd Song?

Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond. Not kidding. I've seen it work with small crowds.

For consideration, think lyrics age well (for students and alums) and apply to the program Cig has started. It is a band current enough for current students and alums <55. Plus, if you are looking for stadium energy at end of 3rd quarter, the video below should demonstrate that.

When you were young - killers

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined
When you were young

Can we climb this mountain?
I don't know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now
Watch it go

We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young

They say the devil's water
It ain't so sweet
You don't have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined
When you were young

Talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young
I said, he doesn't look a thing like Jesus
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

Polls - - a week out

So mostly peaceful protests, which is what I remember, and some small scale rioting caused by anarchists, which I don’t even recall. Not very impressive I guess. J6 certainly was impressive and embarrassing.
