I know, this is highly unlikely, but Oregon only beat them by only 1 at home. A convincing victory on the road vs the Bucks could see the Hoosiers at the top of the college football rankings!!

Jefferson County, Kentucky has the largest school system in the state. They have many problems. Not enough school bus drivers. Too much violence on school buses. Too much violence in schools and at scgool events. Top heavy administrative jobs. Still busing kids up to four hours a day as leftover vestiges of required “diversity“ numbers left over from 1970s bussing required by federal court decisions.

The “equity officer“ is the second highest paid administrative officer in the system. He is African-American. He is a highly visible leader in the community. He recently revealed in posts on his private social media that after the election, he received messages from young black professionals and students seeking his advice on “a strategy“ “moving forward.“

He advised them as follows:

“REGARDLESS of the rooms, meetings, classes, etc., you’re in, know THE MAJORITY of whites could care less about you and have no issues harming you or others.”

In a subsequent post, he said, “Strategy. Count the number in your presence and divide by at least half.”

A group of GOP legislators started raising hell - demanding he be fired or resign.

The former head of the African-American studies program at U of L issued an op ed comparing that demand to slaveholders “breaking” strong-willed slaves.

The current head of the NAACP weighed in claiming that the GOP was silent when locals here received post-election racist message (like the ones at IU and elsewhere) and just really wanted to “take over” the school system and run it from Frankfort.

The JCPS response so far was to say “these posts were not made on behalf of the school school or using JCPS assets.” The only person who can fire this officer is the lame duck Superintendent who has announced retirement after 2 horrible bus plans failed.

Note that these speakers are all highly-educated (Ph.D) and highly compensated. The Equity Officer makes $200,000. (The NAACP objects to this salary having been made public by the GOP - but it is already public knowledge as part of the system budget process.)

The Decade of Hate launched the night Hillary lost is now revealing horrible unintended consequences - including race relations that are as bad as they have been in my lifetime, despite advances (legal and practical) among minorities.

WTF?

Still 2nd in Offensive Efficiency

28th in Def. Efficiency

5th in game control

CCC’s new contract kept IU high in the news cycle … I expect IU to consolidate poll rankings.

Scott is the man! I didn't think it was possible to get this done during the season and I was dead wrong. Great news!!!

Good news, killing babies will slow down, Planned Parenthood will need less funding and these idiots will be easily identified.

As per usual, we will dedicate one thread for dispassionate election night analysis, without political disagreement or policy debate. Didn't try to change minds in this thread, just discuss what's happening.

I'll start where we always start: which early results are you looking at to give you an idea the direction things might be going?

To reach CFP?

I have no idea who these people are, but I am tired of everyone saying our schedule has been weak........and it has. However, it is nice to have something to fire back to someone just to argue.

Win the next two weeks and let them say all they want.

Was she paid to try and affect the election or is she totally incompetent? Was she part of the lie to fleece Kamala donors when they knew Kamala was going to get her ass kicked?

Troy Wiliams going 25th to Toronto ; Trey Lyles going 8th to Detroit

In the 2016 draft, Hanner Mosquera Perea goes 57th to Memphis

Asking for a ‘friend’. Who seems to have gone missing

Just announced they will be at Ohio state/IU game. What happened to Big Noon? Wonder if they change the game time?

After our 1-2 start to the season, and against less than awesome opponents, many of us were concerned we might be blown out by visiting Stanford. The first part of the first quarter did not go well but then we came on.
We matched, perhaps beat, their physicality. Our shooting was better. Lilly got into foul trouble and Moren kept her in longer then many of us might have. I’m not sure if that was because she had faith in her to avoid fouls 4 and 5 (she did not) or lack of confidence in our replacement bigs. Striplin took some of the Lilly minutes, Jules took some minutes (and continues to draw charges). No minutes from Currie Jelkes or Faith. The later may be from Moren’s tendency to not play freshmen. Not sure about Currie Jelkes, makes you wonder if she will contribute eventually or not at all. Sydney Fenn has already been announced as a red shirt year.
Shay showed her speed and shots other than from long distance. Chloe set the stage early with points to give us an early lead. Yardon hit big threes.
Valentyne kadlecova did not play, but again as a frosh that is not to surprising.
Lex and Beau have yet to shake their injuries enough to play, I have not heard what the injuries are nor when they are expected back.
I had predicted in other threads that my guess for a breakout player/big improvement was Beau. Hope she is back soon.

Annual plea for an employee of this site to post a decent box score here after games.

Democrats in PA counting illegal ballots in direct violation of law.

So why don’t y’all shut the hell up about political norms and integrity?

We have Hummel on the stick. But same line-up.

that were walking around?

The Citrus Bowl lady was kinda like "well, there's four B10 teams vying for the playoff, and since only three will probably make it, we have the first pick, and are checking things out here."

We were all kinda like "no offense, but we're not really interested in the Citrus Bowl right now....sorry." 😄

About 5 mins later the Orange Bowl guys come walking by. I call them over to the tailgate, tell them the Citrus Bowl guys were just there, and they were like "nah, you guys don't want to play in that trash Bowl, you need to come to us". 😄

We were all like..."yeah, we agree." 👍

Caught a 98 yard TD pass today for the Titans. He was a very solid receiver for IU. This is his 5th season with the Titans. Good for Nick !

I've quite possibly found the last sane politician who still identifies as a Democrat...
