I'm still hopeful by the second half of the season Tucker will make us forget all about McNeeley. Has to stay healthy. I can see a more polished and under control, hopefully higher IQ Troy Williams. If that, could be a first rounder after a couple of seasons. I hope Rice, KC & Tucker all stay with Reneau and hopefully a skilled proven big man next spring in the portal.

Does anyone here know how the seeding works? Only the top seed gets a first round bye in the conference tourney... If OSU beats Maryland on Sunday, they tie us for first place in the conference. If that happens, who gets the #1 seed? We tied OSU in the regular season, so I have no idea how this works!

It then goes to who has the better record against the 2nd place team/teams, which would favor OSU and drop us to the #2 seed.

I'd say that both parties have a legitimate interest here -- VA in ensuring the people who aren't eligible to vote aren't able to vote....the DOJ in ensuring that people who are eligible to vote are able to vote (and have it counted along with all the rest).

Considering that we aren't talking about tens of thousands of voters, it doesn't seem super difficult to me to come up with a solution that satisfies both of those.

Beyond that, I'd say that VA needs to get their own law in harmony with the federal statute.

I'm 46... I've never played that. I'll have to give it a try. Quick count, -9 is pretty legit!!

My sons love golf too, I might suggest they try this out with various different types of shots. I'll go out and "post a score in the clubhouse"...and see if they can beat it.

Thanks for the new drill, I thought I had heard of them all.

Side note, I too have some shoulder issues. For me its mainly any throwing motion, shooting seems fine still, especially after getting warmed up for a few minutes. Throwing a football though...at times is no bueno.

-9 was a really good score for me. That's when I was coaching and didn't have the shoulder issue, so I was practicing it at least once a day or more (I had a hoop at home and work). Practicing it helps because you are really laser focused on swishes, not just makes. I remember one of our players saying, "wait, you can try and swish it?" It makes you automatically begin to shoot with more arc and look for that "perfect motion". As a result, a ton more of your "misses" still go in. I'd guess when I was practicing almost daily, I went from a 70s % FT shooter to closer to 85-90%. And, I never thought of myself as a shooter.

Oddly, with my shoulder, throwing is still pretty good unless I'm really trying to thow hard, which I just don't do anymore. Shooting doesn't cause me pain, it just has a "catch" and a bit of weakness that makes my a much worse FT shooter.

So oversight at the Federal level is cool now? Or is it just cool in this situation? Its tiring keeping up with all this. And this is another area that shouldn't be a GOP/DNC issue. Voting should be accessible, encouraged, fair, and regulated and verifiable. And that should be the case equally in rural Texas as it is in downtown Detroit. The efforts on both sides to change districts, make certain ways to vote easier and/or more difficult, discredit legitimate and verifiable votes...its ridiculous.

Maybe Elon Musk and Bill Gates could put their brilliant minds together and come up with a new system that accomplishes all this...

What? The DoJ is the one who interfered in a state election.

The SC isn't the 'Federal level' - it's the law of the land.

SCOTUS should be available the next two weeks to handle directly every election interference the Dems try.

Our neighbor across the street has a buddy who owns a McLaren. It's in their driveway 5 or 6 times/year. Very distinct sound and totally out of place.

Meanwhile, I see monstrosities like this out in the wild and have to take multiple photos "to make sure I get a good one".

I gotta say, part of me is intrigued by this. I always wanted to buy one of those old 1960's grain trucks with that extra long chassis, take the dump bed off of it and drop a vintage 16 foot camper on it.

I think that the core issue here is conflict (specifically, a timing conflict) between the state law utilized by Youngkin and a related federal statute that proscribes a different timeline.

I can't say I've taken much time in getting super familiar with the details. But, if that's the case, then I don't think this is a case of the DOJ just brazenly trying to make it possible for non-citizens to vote. And it's being cast that way.

Personally, I think what a state should do in a situation like (although VA's law may not allow for this) is to just accept provisional ballots from anybody in question. That gives the state more time to properly vet them and determine if they are or aren't eligible. If they're eligible, count it and take steps to ensure they aren't back on a list subject to being culled from the registry...if they aren't, toss it and then get them off the rolls.

Why didn't the DoJ care about it from 2009, when the Virginia law was put into effect - and used - until now?

DANC, do you think making voting too easy results in votes by citizens who are less informed than those willing to spend more time and effort by voting on election day ?
Click to expand...
Absolutely, but it's their right as Americans to vote. It also creates more possibilities for cheating.

There's a reason Democrats are against voter ID requirements, and it's not because IDs are hard to get. Also a reason why a Democrat DoJ would object to the removal of non-citizens from voter registration.

It's so obvious Democrats don't care about secure elections, because they don't want a spotlight shined on it because it might reveal too much.

I think it is very plausible that independent voters or even long-time GOPers would vote for Harris because they are Never Trumpers. Supporting Harris and hating Trump are two different things, even if the end result is the same.

Meanwhile, you still haven’t answered the question. And it’s anonymous so why can’t you state your opinions? I’ve long expressed where i differ from each party. Too many people claim to be independents or even GOPers who won’t vote for Trump, but have yet to articulate any support for conservative views.

On the subject of "conservative views ", can conservatives and liberals share the same views ?

Can remember when pols from both parties shared many of the same views.

These days the pols go out of their way to make the other guys appear to be out of the mainstream.
