Hackman, wife and dog all found deceased at home. Odd.

RIP

Russian / American Embassy Staff will reopen in Moscow and Washington.

Visa and MasterCard are negotiating to return to Russia.

. . . You would be wrong.

Yesterday, Judge Alikhan decided she can supersede the executive decisions of a President if she determines said decisions are “irrational or imprudent”. In other words, Presidential discretionary decisions are subject to whether a federal judge would agree. The judge did not rule based upon such mundane constitutional standards such as due process, scope of presidential authority, or the commerce clause. No she went to a new and broader standard of whether she thought the presidential decision was prudent or irrational. She used her personal political views, expressed as being rational and prudent to overrule the President. At issue was Trumps spending pause.

Oh, here she is denying she would use her personal beliefs to decide cases.

And on and on. Former Marine, the guy absolutely commanded the screen. His wife and dog apparently passed too. Bit mysterious, although he was 95…

Respect. Legend.

Be relevant again in day one. Dude would bring the fanbase in yesterday. I know that it won’t happen, but please make that call…

Who knows…..not really going to know much until later March on anyone

Per previous reports from the most trustworthy sources, Brad Stevens was given a deadline of Feb. 26 to make a decision on the IU HC position. We all already know why Feb 26 was the deadline and why this date is so important. I guess we will know tomorrow whether or not we can end the coaching search or cross one more candidate off the list.

Godspeed to ya.

Unvaccinated child in West Tx. Prepare for a lot more of these preventable diseases to be in the news in coming years.

get a coach, I get the concern, but what are the odds he screws up again, not even sure he ever did, whatever

So what’s the deal?

He’s the best coach that we could offer who actually WANTS the job. Only IU could screw this up…

"This move tears at the independence of a free press in the United States. It suggests the government will choose the journalists who cover the president. In a free country, leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps.”

"It means the president can pick and choose who covers the executive branch, ignoring the fact that it is the American people who through their taxes pay for the running of the White House, the president’s travels and the press secretary’s salary.”

"A dangerous move for democracy."

That sucks, but was gonna be hard for him to see the field.

Actually pretty reasonable take imo. I'd move Ferentz to 3rd, Cig to 4th, Bielema to 5th, and Franklin to 6th. I'd keep the other 14 right where he has them in the article.

Co worker coached Josh Whitman in hs. He went to Illinois game Tiesday(can’t recall what night).

Anyway, he was talking to Josh about how hard it is resting players and the new cbb. Then the convo switched to IU and new coach.

Wittman said “as an AD, you want very badly to get CB, but, just too much comes with that hire.”

Said Dolson won’t hire him in his opinion. So… cross beard and Stevens off the board and let’s make realistic lists for the next month!

Btw, I want bead here myself Ain’t happening

Veteran reporter Rick Bozich talks about the Indiana coaching search; are there more names we can eliminate? Probably. Is anyone moving to the front? TJ Otzelberger had his buyout reduced to $4 million. Penn State in town as well.

Injured or doghouse?

While a grad student at UGA during the 2010-11 academic year was very defensive of Putin back then when every sane American saw him as an existential threat to Europe has now changed her tune.

She is still a Russian citizen but has been living and working in the financial sector in Poland for about 10 years


She and everybody she knows thinks we are fvcking out of our minds to get in bed with Putin

I’m sure the usual suspects will skewer this. Have it

In their latest podcast, they talk about a lot of stuff, including several coaching names. I know a lot of folks are uninspired by a possible Cronin choice, but it might be worth listening to the podcast starting at the 1:14:30 spot. There's nothing earth-shattering and I don't think it will change anyone's mind, but since the guy knows Cronin, he offers a little more color. And as many here have said, there's only so much we're going to discern from the w/l records. People who know stuff will have way more to offer on the subject. This is just one small example and he at least speaks a little about who the guy is. The relevant section of the podcast goes on for about twelve minutes.

He's amassing power at warp speed.

And he didn't get a single vote. Or face confirmation hearings. Or make financial disclosures. And who's providing the oversight? Trump? Well, that's reassuring.

Only in [our new] America.

might be better than us, tonight I give up on the season, neutral court they kick our ass,

through all the coach hire drama, there is still a game being played tonight

IU -5.5. / 150.5

IU 74
PSU 63

A win tonight pushes us into the upper half of conf standings. Nothing to be proud of, but considering 7-10 days ago we were talking about missing the B1G tourney, it's worth noting.

Lundari now has us in his first 4 out (last week it was 2nd four out) while Palm still has us in the 'first 4 in" / 11 seed.
Lundari also has OSU as in the first 4 with bye (ie the first 4 above the 'first 4 in') due to their much higher NET rating (35). That senior day game vs OSU is shaping up to be rather important for both teams.

Northwestern's win caused them to leapfrog us in the NET.
