Economic hellscape -- I wish everyone would read this

As with coach cig I’m basically never wrong. I’m shocked by how much I’ve missed the boat on abortion. There are more abortion signs in yards in my community than anything else. More than letting us bet on sports!! In 2024 I didn’t think it would still be so pressing

Oh I’ve long warned pro-lifers to be careful what they wished for with respect to Roe.

I think Dobbs was the right decision. But nobody should be surprised that it touched off a political backlash.

Dems should actually be happy Roe was vacated. Abortion is still going to end up legal pretty much everywhere, once all the dust settles. And they’re getting a great political boost from it.

I think I’m in the minority with my belief that Cignetti will be at IU for longer than just a year or two.

I can certainly see why people expect he won’t last here. And I may be wrong. But he’s being paid pretty well at IU, the pressure to win is a lot less than somewhere like Florida, and he’s 65 years old.

On the flip side, he’s never made a bunch of money in his career until now. And maybe it’ll be irresistible for him to end his career with as much as he can possibly earn. I wouldn’t blame him.

For now, I’m just enjoying the unprecedented success of Hoosiers football. I never thought I’d see the day - totally unexpected.

Bolded is what concerns me. We may bump him to make it worthwhile but if Florida wants him, we cannot compete monetarily. Though winning a championship at IU guarantees one a wing in the college football hall of fame.

Oh, he is with a year of my age AND THAT AIN'T 65. :)

This reminds me of Northwestern in the mid-90s.

I think you'll see an offense that is taylor made to fit Jackson's skill set. Probably more swing passes, short throws to set up the offense and his confidence going forward. It's not like he doesn't have 10 different people to throw it to! Utilizing Horton would be wise.

Frankly, with our running game and the way Bostad has this oline clicking, it may be a game of 70/30 run to pass. Our line looked huge yesterday. My son commented on Wedig and Carter Smith's size on the oline.

I'd like that too. A few years ago I went out to Arizona for spring training games. My buddies I was with are all sCrUBs fans so we went to watch them one of the days. We sat in left field. As Schwarber was walking off the field my buddy yelled out "HOO HOO HOOSIERS!" He looked at us with a big smile and gave a thumbs up. Dude is a Hoosier through and through.

Never wrong, but miss the boat? Love it. Abortion is the wedge issue supreme.

Speaking of signs, drove through Morgan County to get up into Hendricks after the game. @UncleMark , I found all the Trump signs.

And on yard signs, why does every Republican in Monroe County have a Dave Hall sign. He has the most, by a wide margin. He lives in Jackson County.

It is virtually impossible for Harris to have the House and the Senate. So yes, one needs to consider what they can do without that AND what a president can do with it.

I do not think an abortion ban can pass, in all probability that would require Susan Collins' vote and I doubt they get it. But if it did, you think them going to Trump ready to pass a bill to put him on Rushmore would get him to sign it? Playing to his ego can do miracles. I don't think he has a core belief except what his ego wants.

I can't understand the naiveness on this by the moderate right guys on here. Roe was also never going to be overturned. The notion was scoffed at. It will never happen... Until it did.

To me, the whole Steven Seagal angle is what makes the story so bizarre and compelling.

Who knew that Steven Seagal did (or at least tried to do) music? Who the hell would buy that?

And it shows how many super-talented musicians are out there just looking for their break. I think the modern music landscape - with Spotify, YouTube, social media, etc - makes it much more possible to be discovered by the kinds of people who can make a career happen.

A guy who went to my HS was working as a singer at Disney World. A friend of his said he was leaving Orlando and going to LA to do backup vocals…on a Steven Seagal album!

My friend asked if he could tag along and maybe get booked on the same project. So they both moved to LA. Well, the album never happened. But the two guys met up with a couple other aspiring musicians out there. They co-wrote a song they all liked and somehow managed to sell it to somebody in the music business for about $25K.

That group ended up collaborating on many more songs and projects. One of them ended up getting a recording contract, under the stage name of Bruno Mars.

The group of guys has written/produced most of Bruno’s recordings and have also written songs for other artists — the most successful one being “F**k You” by CeeLo Green.

It matters for each candidate, because no matter what they say they want or what they would do, if they have to get legislation passed to do it, I think you rationally have to take that into account given the lower odds such a thing might come to pass.

That's one reason, for example, the Harris attack on Trump about a national abortion ban is stupid. First, he doesn't even want to do that, and second, he can't do it on his own. That's a legislative issue, not an executive one. I'm sure some of the things Harris has said she wants to do fall in the same category.
