…better beef up those offensive and defensive lines if they want to compete in the B1G.

How embarrassing for USC to lose a game to a Michigan team that passed for 32 yards.

Michigan better figure it out because what they did today isn’t going to work against the majority of the league.

Kind of a surprise but I hope it's true. Just read an article saying Travis Branham has predicted an IU commitment. Another insider said it's a done deal. I always heard he was a Purdue lean.

Harris will win
The loony left is still loony

"Listen, JD Vance is a phony. He's fake. I mean first he says that Donald Trump is like Hitler and now he's acting like he's Lincoln."

"I mean, the problem with JD Vance is he has no conviction, but I guess his running mate has 34."

Spot on.

Vance was a really bad pick. First, he has said far worse things about Trump (describing Trump as "cultural heroin" is a personal favorite) than most anti-Trumpers. More importantly, he does nothing to expand Trump's base, particularly among women which is where Trump needs all the help he can get.

Dems will be smarter with the VP selection and go with someone who, at a minimum, helps them carry a swing state and appeals to independents.

Harris currently has all the enthusiasm and momentum - - - a record-breaking fundraising haul immediately after Biden dropped out, with much of it coming from grassroots donors, 28,000 new volunteers in the first 36 hours following Sunday's announcement, key endorsements, immediate union support, and a party that quickly united with her. She'll get more buzz with the announcement of the VP pick, and then the convention will follow. The final night in Chicago will almost certainly feature two successful past presidents along with Joe and Jill on the stage with Harris, her husband and the new VP pick and his (yes, it will be a man) wife. I'm going out on a limb here by predicting that scene will be even more memorable and impactful than Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan on stage at the RNC. LOL.

I recently learned that the mascot for the flagship institution of the University of Minnesota system, commonly referred to as the Golden Gopher, isn't a Gopher at all. It's a squirrel.

“.... those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again," he wrote.

He continued, “Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.”

Shame on the Fraternal Order of Police for endorsing this guy and letting him stand up there and threaten Americans for what HE did in 2020.

Give me a ****ing break, fellas.

Last week got 13 AP votes.
Today we got 63.

Maryland got 0 twice.

No top 25 though.

with Goode and Mgbako at the 4.

In years past Indiana teams would buckle and fold like a cheap card table when we had some injuries and we would hit the meat of the schedule. Too many times we would see 4-5-6 game losing streaks that just took the life out of the season. Somehow I'm getting the vibes that CCC is not going to let this happen under his watch. Looking forward to see how this team responds to the B1G challenge.
Go Hoosiers!

Any idea why?

He looked to have a solid leg yesterday, and didn't put any of them out of bounds, but still.

We had one kicker severely limp off the field against WIU and miss two games,
and Quinteiro was literally carried off the field yesterday after trying to walk.
That's a position where you can genuinely expect to have no injuries at all in a season,
yet we've already gotten two that look to be severe.

My son is starting his freshman year at the local, progressive public school. His required history course is World History.

I post this to get general discussion about whether this is the right concept of history to be taught to freshman (14-year-olds), and specific discussion about this course, and if it seems geared towards reaching a particular political viewpoint (not Dem v. Rep, but progressive v. anything else).

For me, I think the course description is designed to reach a progressive view of the world (and maybe an illiberal one, at that) and that this is too much historiography and too little actual history for 14-year-olds. Contra the course description, I actually do want my freshman to learn as much about the history of the world as you can pack into 176 days--he and his classmates haven't learned that yet, so they have nothing to "unlearn." I'm already looking for supplementation (if anyone has any they could recommend, that would be great).


Here's the description of the course from the syllabus (all emphasis in the original):

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The focus on this course is not to learn as much as we can about as much of the history of the world as we can fit into 176 school days. Rather, this course offers a narrower focus, on that synthesizes select historical periods, themes, and ideas throughout human history in an attempt to craft an argument. Because that's what history is: an argument about the past. And to engage in an earnest study of World History requires us to ask historical questions -- questions to which there are no "answers," only evidence-based arguments.

In World History A, we will explore a number of essential questions that will guide our units of study, both in what we ask you to consume as budding historians (readings, film, art, music, and other modes of expression) and in how we assess you throughout the year. These questions may include:

1. Why and for whom does history matter?
2. How do we know what we know about the world and can we trust it?
3. What are the origins of inequality?
4. To what extend did religions and empires improve human life?
5. How did religion, trade, and empire unify the Old World System?
6. How should the early American empires be remembered? What story should be told about their historical significance?
7. How important was the European Age of Exploration? How much changed as a result?
8. How "enlightening" was the Enlightenment? To what extent did the Haitian Revolution challenge the global order?
9. Is progress inherently good? What were the global impacts of industrialization, imperialism, and nationalism?
10. How and why did liberal democracy decline in Germany after World War I? How and why did the Holocaust happen? Why did war (World War II) break out in the Pacific?
11. How and why did anti-colonial movements succeed in the post-war era?

In answering these questions--and these are just the ones we've come up with; you'll be creating questions of your own!--we will challenge some of our own preconceived notions about the history of the world --to unlearn some of what we have learned in hopes of broadening our perspective, deepening our fund of knowledge, and enhancing our critical thinking skills.

Still on the first page in many catagories — often in the top 25.

Except for James Evans … who must not have enough punts to qualify.

Beat Maryland and we crack the top 25

IYKWIM

Big game coming up.

this is a 3/4 of the way drunk post, but seriously, we all know this is different. This coach is different. My sober mind says I’d wait till the Maryland game, but f-it, do it now. I’m just blown away with what this guy has done in 4 games.

And by the way, a lot of us had questions about the players that came with him, 3 of our best defensive players were 0 star recruits to JMU, and almost every player he brought with him are crucial parts of this team. What else can you say? I’m seeing stuff I’ve only dreamed about.
