It's becoming a statistical dead heat in the new polls. She appears to have made up all the ground lost after the Biden debate and has the momentum heading into the DNC and then the final stretch. Very interesting and thorough poll here:


Keep an eye on the RCP poll averages as new polls are completed and added:

I planted a few paw paw trees 3 years ago. They are about 8-9' now. I haven't had one single paw paw yet to eat. I have self-pollinated (don't ask), tell my yard people to stay the hell away, but nothing.
Finally, this year i had 1 single fruit growing out of all the trees, and i watched that motherfvcker every week grow. Since they ripen late summer the stress was overwhelming...then a few weeks ago i noticed a squirrel ate my lone paw paw. Do you know how many things you can make with no paw paws......that is correct, nothing. I have never even eaten one. They very well could taste like shit.

Dell told workers to classify themselves as hybrid workers or remote. If hybrid, they have to work out of an office 40 days per quarter. If remote, they forfeit promotions and getting hired into other Dell jobs.

1/2 chose remote.

It was believed Dell did this to trim their workforce without paying any severance. Dell really only has one set of offices, in Austin. Others are too small or don't exist. I know people that moved back to Austin because it really was the only choice.

Half forgoing promotion is a lot. I suspect many will go elsewhere over time. Apple is having similar issues with workers. It appears workers are still demanding more flexibility.

is a f#cking awful candidate. She might have been the only GOP candidate that lost last night. I thought she was ok, but that’s probably because I think she’s hot. She just looks dangerous, in a good way.

The way I read that there will only be one 30 day Portal window... : 12/9/24 - 1/7/25 (this year)
The after Spring Practice one will be no more...

I guess we'll know within the month whether this has passed or not since it's supposed to take effect on December ninth...

Cignetti and Staff proved they can deal with this sort of tight window last year so with a year to prepare there's no reason to believe they shouldn't be able to handle things well again...

The wild card this time is that there will probably only be one or two JMU guys in the mix but we also hopefully won't need more 18 or 19 total Portal guys versus the more than 20 plus we brought in last time around...

We would seem to be well positioned already given that we appear to check every box that a player might want in that situation... The word has to be out there nationally by now...

The accounting is coming...

Let's find out how serious everyone is about this.

All actions have consequences.

Can we still persuade each other peacefully? Or will the name-calling and polarization continue/worsen? Will “the propagandized citizen” get wiser or worser?

Looks like we won’t have the protections of “divided power” - House/Senate slim majorities to the GOP.

I already see “heightened” propaganda efforts in the “usual” media, and embittered and taunting messaging on the Hand Held Propaganda Devices (which will, IMO - continue to make traditional media less and less relevant to the public discourse).

Will the families and friendships destroyed by partisanship since 2016 heal or hinder?

Stay tuned.

The first CFP rankings for the 2024 college football season will be released tonight at 7p Eastern (ESPN).

I will be watching and waiting for Indiana's position to be revealed. INDIANA's position!

If this is a dream, I don't ever wanna wake up.

Go Hoosiers!

This must be what if felt like to be an Alabama fan when Saban was coaching.

Michigan?

F*ck them. We will curb stomp the Wolverines!

Ohio State?

Cignetti >>>>>> Day

I ain't even worried.

Purdue?

We might drop 70 on that sorry program.

Oregon?

Will be fun celebrating a B1G title in Indy!

Then who?

Georgia?

We will pick off Beck four times.

Texas?

They can't block us.

Penn State?

Cignetti >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Franklin

Miami?

They won't have those ACC refs to save their ass.

Tennessee?

Yeah, f*ck that stupid song. They can barely put up 20 points.

BYU?

LMAO

Notre Dame?

Cignetti >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the pope

God loves us more.

We are f*cking beating everyone!

Until after the election. Congrats to all on the winning side. Though my disdain for DT won’t disappear, I recognize the results of a fair election and will respect the office of the presidency regardless of who holds that position. Though never a huge fan of Kamala I will add that it’s nice to see a gracious transfer of power and respect for the constitutional process

Kent State may be the worst team football this year. They were the worst team in the MAC last year - Cig saw Big Ten starting potential in CJ West. He had high stats for Kent (1st in TFL, 2nd in sacks) but not league leading - and Cig still saw what he could do.

Cig has “football eyes” - a talent you can’t teach, like a RB who sees where the yards will be before they’re there.

Than from an open fire, from harvested hardwood trees from your own property. Split by hand. While setting under an inclosed 24x24 hip roof (much better than a gay pergola that some people still don’t have).
Smelling all of the Vanilla and deep chocolate aroma from the wood. While it has a deep, yet slow flame slowly rolling all of its essence into one’s nose?
Maybe even a very slight musk smell, that reminds of the sweat that created this heaven. Slight drizzle November rain in southern ish Indiana tapping on the tin roof.
What a perfect stage set, for a total Trump, and good people, landslide on this nov Election Day.
Thank the lord, that it will only take blue states, another 37 days, to count the votes that they’ve had for nearly a month now.
Never allow efficiency to get in the way of illegitimacy, when you need it. Whoa, there’s a hint of maple that nearly sticks to one’s tongue as you breathe in heaven.

I would take Trey over Carlyle any day. What say you fellow Hoosiers?

Saw the B10 breakdown of upcoming games on ESPN earlier and much to his credit, Desmond Howard said that IU is going to give the Buckeyes all they can handle. They then showed a graphic of OSU’s remaining games and percentage of coming away with a win and they gave them a 70% chance to win against us. That might change, but given all we know I’d think 60/40 or even 55/45 would be a better prediction

I’m not going to say my score prediction, but let’s just say that if any of the two teams win going leg away, it’s not going to be the one in scarlet and gray.

In a year where Indiana is 9-0 in football, and Vanderbilt beats Alabama, Kentucky, Auburn and damn near Texas, OF COURSE Donald Trump is gonna rise off the mat and re-win the Prezidenzy!

Global warming - climate chump change - and Mission Impossible!

The signz wuz all there!

Saw opening line from Vegas at +26.5

IU #8 in the CFB playoff

....the anally rekt 'commentary ' on this board, CNN, NBC, MSNBC, Morning Mika, The Young Turds, etc.

I've laughed out loud more in the past 24 hours than any time I can recall....topped off by the insipid 'concession' word salad offered by the lame duck former candidate....

Thank you all for the continuing entertainment.

I salute you...
