Smerconish this morning

Smerconish was talking about not turning singular irregularities into something more. He was quoting someone else, saying that we have voting locations that will average double the foot traffic of a Starbucks. These voting locations are one day popups. The workers are woefully underpaid.

Let me add undertrained. For decades I worked, we had a 2 hour training session, that was it. It had no role playing, no job shadowing, nothing. A person at the front lecturing. Your average Starbucks employee is better paid and much better trained.

There is a margin of error on election day. Do we think every Chick-fil-A balances every register to the penny every day? There will be precincts not balanced to the vote.

Looks like a replay of the M$U game will be on BTN

If you're like me and didn't get to watch it live or missed portions of it due to outages it appears that the replay will be on BIG in 60 today at 5pm EST for the first time... They usually repeat those games throughout the week if you miss it today...

Caveat: Sometimes my feed mistitles the actual content so apologies in advance if that's the case...

Michigan Trap Game

It's fun to look at the rankings and projections and to indulge in speculations but the most important thing is to be 1-0 against Michigan. We know the maize and blue have talent and I'm sure they will relish playing the role of spoiler. It sounds weird to say but in 2024 Michigan is a trap game. Michigan's lackluster 5-4 record, IU breaching the Top 12 nationally and thus being in the CFP picture, the looming showdown with Ohio State. Everybody's patting our guys on the back and telling them how great they are. There's no need to do anything differently, trust in the process that got you here, but stay focused on what's in front of you and deal with next week when it gets here. How many times in sports do we see teams drop the ball in situations like this? Danger Will Robinson! Rat poison alert.

Random musings

Independence.

I was thinking about the gist of this when I ran across this add that sums up my thoughts about this election.

We begin with the fact that just a few months ago, Harris was the least popular VP in history and there was serious talk urging Biden to dump her. Prior to that, she couldn’t even manage to get out of the starting gate in the 2020 Democratic primary. Now she will likely be the next president.

How did this happen?

We saw it in real time.

This election is not Trump v. Harris. It’s The System on the one hand, and the people on the other. The System is big government, big media, social media, big tech, big education, big NGO, and big corporate all working in simpatico. Not too long ago, these institutions operated as a self correcting check and balance. Now there isn’t. We have policy without meaningful review or accountability. Thus we have an impossible fiscal situation, third world conditions, bad education for those who need good education the most, violence, drugs, and the rest. There is no other reasonable explanation for the meteoric rise of Kamala in just a couple of months other than The System pushing her. She hasn’t changed. The System changed our view of her.

On the other hand we have Trump. He certainly has baggage. But he also has a striking number of positive policy initiatives that ought to be important, but aren’t. He has a self- destructive behavior pattern. But more importantly, The System exploits, exaggerates, and even lies about him, leaving The System’s chosen candidate without an effective opponent.

I like independence. I wish we had a different champion than Trump. But we don’t. Kamala is too high of a price to let The System in.

Watch the Matrix. Are we living the prequel?

Humble question

IU will be playing with 3 pretty good sized guys on the floor most of the game, Reneau spends a lot of time in the lane. Woody seems to have recruited quards whose scoring ablities utilize speed and quickness over spreading the floor with shooters. Is there a chance of all that size could clog the lane and impede our guards? Not a coach but somebody has got to light a fire on this board. ;)
