Rutgers Schedule

The Big 18 has 6 teams in the AP preseason top 25 (OSU, Oregon, Michigan, PSU, USC and Iowa). Rutgers will avoid all of these teams this year but USC! How is this even remotely fair?

If Rutgers finds its way to the B1G championship game, which is definitely not out of the realm of possibility, I think there could be calls to return to a division format.

The bottom line is there is no way to fairly schedule an 18 team conference with a 9 game conference schedule - which is why the expansion will likely go down in history as ruining the big ten conference. Kevin Warren was too busy counting the incremental dollars associated with the expansion to consider how things like scheduling would be implemented. He has now taken his short-sited management style to the Bears where his feeble attempts to play municipalities against one another is doing nothing but delaying the construction of the new stadium.

  • Poll
Trump Trial - New York

What do you think is the most likely outcome in the New York trial?

  • A guilty verdict on some or all of the counts

  • An acquittal ("total exoneration!")

  • A hung jury (jury cannot reach a unanimous decision and a mistrial is declared)

  • Trump pleads guilty to something prior to a verdict being rendered

  • Other (for example, a mistrial based on something other than a hung jury)


Results are only viewable after voting.

Have at it.

Justice for Ashli Babbitt grinds along

In an order that should surprise nobody, the District Court has ordered that the federal government must answer the complaint alleging Ashli Babbitt’s wrongful death.

In no way was her killing appropriate police conduct. That said I suspect the issue of exigent circumstances will be left to the jury. Babbitt family wants the case tried in San Diego, while the USA wants the case tried in government-friendly D.C. That issue is still unresolved.

JD Vance - you suck

FIVE times in the last three weeks I have sat in traffic because he decides to fly somewhere in the middle of rush hour. WTF? Can't you just get yourself a nice motorhome and live down by the airport until election day? Do you really need to fly home every stinking night and then fly out every stinking morning? I am sick and tired of waiting for your motorcade to take you 5 minutes from your house to Lunken Airport. Ride a bike! It would do you some good. And what's with the ambulance always following your car? Is there something you're not telling us? I mean, your route takes you no more than 10 minutes from one of the finest trauma hospitals in the Midwest, yet you need an ambulance in your motorcade? And for Christ's sake, don't you think 25 police cars is a bit much?

AP Top 25

It is almost a given that Franklin's PSU teams underperform.

Even with their defense, it is hard to see Michigan being a top ten team given their QB situation.

Tampon Tim and the Culture War

I think Tampon Tim is a hilarious nickname that will never go away. Regulating that all public boys bathrooms need to have tampons in them is a waste of taxpayer money.

However, IMO, it's low on the list of priorities. I don't know the $ commitment it takes, but I'm confident its a blip (500k?) in the grand scheme of government budgets. We all could put together an unending list of things that the government has wasted way more money on. COVID relief. The RedLine in downtown Indy. The floating pier in gaza. Cyber Ninjas. Etc Etc.

I don't care about Trans policy. I don't know any Trans people. I rarely see any trans people. My kids aren't threatened by trans people.

Maybe I'll care once the inevitable prankster introduces vodka enemas to his friends. Until then, IDGAF about tampons.

DANC - I was motivated by you to stand for something. Tampons.

OT: College softball player getting $1.2 million NIL deal to transfer...

I never thought I would see softball players getting that much out of NIL deals, but a Stanford player transferred to Texas Tech after being offered $1.2 million. She will be getting almost twice as much as the 2nd highest paid head coach in college softball.
