The FBI now holds:
-Weiners laptop
-All Wikileaks information
-Hunters laptop
-Awan Brothers hard drives
-Epstein files, videos
-Diddy files, videos
-Maxwell files, videos
-and more...

Has to be the largest collection of blackmail material ever assembled...

If true, this is wild.

I recall a long time ago a story about a PLO official answering his phone and having his phone blow his head off. A couple of months ago, a Hamas official was blown up in a bedroom in Iran from a bomb planted months earlier. And now, today, there are reports that pagers carried by Hezbollah officials are blowing up in their hands in Lebanon.

James Bond is jealous.

I found the opening act for Auburn, @mcmurtry66. I love how he drinks the beer. It’s going to be a great November.

Has anyone seen any policy language on this idea?

I'm curious because I've got questions:

1) The tip/gig economy has gotten huge. Presumably this would significantly shrink the tax base. Maybe not a huge deal because most people working for tips probably aren't in the cohort that pays net federal taxes?
2) Is it only talking about income tax or is it FICA too? A lot of people would see their social security statement wrecked if it's the latter.
3) Would it be a new box on the W2 that is declared but exempt or would it just not be defined as income? If the latter, then, theoretically, your mom could make 6 figures at the strip club but still qualify for all the income-based welfare because it would be in tips.....glittery tips.
4) Piggybacking off of #3, if it's the new box on W2 and people actually DO declare them, it could end up being a boon for state/local income taxes because tipped wages are woefully under-reported.
5) Is the idea being taken seriously by anyone in Congress or is it just one of those election year things?

Do you think peegs business model changes away from recruiting? I have to think the interest is gonna start nose diving. I never really cared about recruiting, was a wait till they commit then try to find some video on them. But today? Who cares. This kid might change his mind 3 times before the spring.

Think how much time and effort people put into Liam. Stupid. Why should IU fans care in the portal era with woody at the helm. Seems like a waste of time and life to me. Fatjohns should shift to more current team stuff.

Cig is the real deal. He deserves more fan support. My boys took me to the game today and it was disappointing to see so many empty seats.

Apologies if there is another thread, I didn't bother to check. Good night.

For the better part of the last week or so, Trump has been promising to visit Springfield, Ohio.

This is a monumentally bad idea.

Both the Republican governor of Ohio and mayor of Springfield have asked him not to come. Springfield’s resources are already overburdened and they’ve been relying on state high patrol to fill in gaps for every day police work. Couple that with recent failings of his secret service detail and it’s a recipe for one giant shit show. I really hope he stays away.

On top of all those concerns, Ohio isn’t a battleground state. His campaign could be better served by spending time elsewhere.

That said, as dumb and ill advised it is to go there, I fully expect him to do it. If, God forbid, something crazy happens when he’s there it won’t be because of some far left secret plan. He and his campaign fully know what the situation is.

It's clear Locksley has done his film study on us... Sounds like they'll be ready coming in...

NIL helps a cruddy coach more than it does a top level coach. Curt Cignetti and Mike Woodson come immediately to mind.

Cignetti is upper shelf and has the ability to identify and develop talent that others may not even see. Woodson is chasing stars with a blank check. That blank check mitigates his mediocre coaching ability.

This is a seldom discussed side effect of NIL. I'll bet it's why Saban got the hell out of coaching. Can you imagine Bobby Knight losing games to some of the mediocre BT coaches back then because of NIL?

The UNLV QB situation got me thinking about this dynamic.

Take it from someone who's seen DePaul's fall from the 70s and 80s. Once you start sliding you better fight to the death for the results you once had and expected.

I've been one to point out that during Knight's tenure it wasn't just a straight line across in terms of 25-win seasons, which were much more impressive back then. It was mostly on a three- and four-year cycle to elite.

Now? We are 259-249 in the conference in the last 30 years. We've had single digit losses in a season only four times during that span.

People who are reasonably old, like 40 years old, have never seen what people only 10 years older, like me (OK, 11) saw and people 15-20 years older saw consistently. Now, it seems the majority of people are saying the tournament is good enough. As in, "Woody got us to the tournament two years in a row." He was 21-14 and 23-12 in those years.

That is awful. Yet, that's good to too many people.

The standard is the standard - until it's not. This is what the IU admin simply has not understood during their 30-year walk in the wilderness.

It's almost gone. The last 10 years? 192-135. 93-96 in the conference. It's such that a lot of people think that now we need patience in getting back to... what exactly?

No, we need urgency. Urgency to get back to standards and levels that, unfortunately, an ever-shrinking pool of supporters remember, aspire to and demand.

I don't think people really understand how far away we are and how long it's been. It's not a matter of, "We better fix this before we lose it". It's, "It's gone - and we need to get it back."

Woodson's not the answer. X isn't the missing piece. It's a little bit better version of Mike Davis. It's a little bit better version than Archie. We all know it. Not just because of the record but because of the basketball we see. The horrible IQ and lack of fundamentals consistently not corrected. Horrible scheme and philosophy. Idiot subbing patterns until the media calls get too loud. Idiot decision making in the auto-benchings, again, until the media calls get too loud. The roster totally devoid of any meaningful guards, point and shooting. Bad basketball. Bad roster. Meet the new guy. Same as the old guy.

It's bad. We know it's bad. Fix it. Now. Why wait? Wait for what? 19-13? 15-16? Is there a difference? Bad basketball. Bad roster. Meet the new guy. Same as the old guy.

and you were truly surprised? seems everyone that I can recall in recent memory the results were known before the announcement. seems like Troy Williams committing to the Hoosiers was a bit surprising at the time.

Late. Now let’s lock down Riebe and Mullins

for wasting all the time and money recruiting Trent Sisley, Braylon Mullins and Jalen Haralson.

IU appreciates it.

Man, trump had a really good night. How does he remain so calm and articulate?

the one that got away

I will admit that I really enjoy watching CC (Caitlyn Clark) play basketball.

I notice that on her 3 point shots, while in the air, she kicks her right leg out sideways. I think this usually happens after the ball leaves her hand. Is this considered a "fault" in her form? Would you try to change it?

I think it is a two horse race with ND and us. Sisley, Haralson and Mullins would be great if they could co-exist position wise. Playing time early might just push Haralson towards ND

I just watched the player's perspective with Miller Kopps, and his guest was Gabe Cupps. After listening you can not help but pull for the young man. I wish him the best and have a great season Go Gabe and IU.
