DC Chad Wilt … of his Senior laden two deep. It’s easier for fresh bodies to play with an edge and swagger. Doesn’t about 40 defensive team lettermen this season sound like a plan for success?

“Then you look at the back end, we're talented there at the back end with Jaylin Williams, and Tiawan [Mullen] and Monster [Devon Matthews] and those guys. Seeing Bryant Fitzgerald continuing to grow, right, Bryson Bonds coming on, Josh Sanguinetti we're getting a position now where we can just throw people at them, throw people at them and overwhelm people with our depth.

I've pointed out last season to some of the guys when talking about the depth to show them proof of that, a young man I had last year at Minnesota, Boye Mafe, who was drafted 40th overall and the last three games of the year we had at Minnesota, he and his backup split reps each game being one off in the reps. If one of them played 45 the other one played 44 reps … Boye was drafted 40th overall so that's part of the reason Boye could perform at such a high level is he didn't have to keep the governor on and he could just go play, go play, go play. Throw him in there four-to-six plays, then the next guy is in four-to-six plays, go play with your hair on fire, run around like a madman, and hey tag team that thing out WWE style and the next guy goes.”

Lots of other good quotes showing where incumbents apparently doubled down to return to good form.

I have heard Rumors Derik Queen might reclassify. Is there any legs to this? Also, where is IU sitting? I am not aware of any official visits. With Race and Trayce gone next year we may really need another big body. Thoughts or info on this appreciated.

Not too shabby - author seems to at least be familiar with the Teams/Players...

New NON POLITICAL (haha, sure) thread. They seem to be the longest lasting and most useful around.

What grinds your gears. The more specific the better. I'll start...

So I'm driving to and from Chicago today. A trip I despise mostly b/c I won't stay the night and it's f*cking Tuesday. But I digress. I-65 is Thunderdome. My highway cruiser is a BMW 320i and it's very good at going 90 in the fast lane and getting 32 mpg while doing it. But the got dam semis and their near incessant need to leap frog on a two lane limited access highway where the left lane's defacto speed minimum is 80mph is infuriating. They don't even "draft" each other. So, I don't see how they are saving fuel. They go about 1mph faster than the got dam truck in the right lane and take 90 seconds to pass each other. It's borderline dangerous.

I ranted to my wife about the need for cargo trains between Chicago and where ever the hell these trucks come from (many from Indy) and how BIG TRUCKER is clearly lobbying hard against this. In actuality, of course, I know nothing of whether using trains for more cargo travel makes sense. But when I set my pea brain to it, I considered overseas cargo travel. When we ship containers from point A to point B we load like 5000 of them on a huge ass cargo ship (the biggest ships IN THE WORLD) to move them as cheaply and efficiently as possible. We don't send individual ships across the sea. Now, I know once it arrives somewhere it will be broken up and delivered "locally" via some existing logistical structure.

I think Amazon is going to solve this in the next 10 years. I'd be willing to put upwards of something approaching real money in Amazon stock if they talked about doing it. Shit, they already platform 1/2 the world on AWS. Logistics is next.

After all, he hires only the "best people":

It would seem to be a bad look for said CEO. I suppose said CEO might try to say that "he barely knew" his employee of 40 years.

Interestingly, part of the plea involves willingness to testify against other people in the organization who were party to the schemes.

For those of you that think electric vehicles are the answer- this is a true story from a farmer in the Midwest- and I’m reposting it-

A close friend farms over 10,000 acres of corn in the mid-west. The property is spread out over 3 counties. His operation is a "partnership farm" with John Deere. They use the larger farm operations as demonstration projects for promotion and development of new equipment. He recently received a phone call from his John Deere representative, and they want the farm to go to electric tractors and combines in 2023. He currently has 5 diesel combines that cost $900,000 each that are traded in every 3 years. Also, over 10 really BIG tractors.

JD wants him to go all electric soon.

He said: "Ok, I have some questions. How do I charge these combines when they are 3 counties away from the shop in the middle of a cornfield, in the middle of nowhere?" "How do I run them 24 hours a day for 10 or 12 days straight when the harvest is ready, and the weather is coming in?" "How do I get a 50,000+ lb. combine that takes up the width of an entire road back to the shop 20 miles away when the battery goes dead?"

There was dead silence on the other end of the phone.

When the corn is ready to harvest, it has to have the proper sugar and moisture content. If it is too wet, it has to be put in giant dryers that burn natural or propane gas, and lots of it. Harvest time is critical because if it degrades in sugar content or quality, it can drop the value of his crop by half a million dollars or more. It is analyzed at time of sale. It is standard procedure to run these machines 10 to 12 days straight, 24 hours a day at peak harvest time. When they need fuel, a tanker truck delivers it, and the machines keep going. John Deere's only answer is "we're working on it." They are being pushed by the lefty Dems in the government to force these electric machines on the American farmer. These people are out of control. They are messing with the production of food crops that feed people and livestock... all in the name of their "green dream."

Look for the cost of your box of cornflakes to triple in the next 24 months...”

Left-leaning media don't want to cover all the cases of Democrats getting taken down because it would show that corruption is bipartisan, and right-leaning media don't want to cover them because it would undermine the narrative that the FBI is a politicized machine targeting only Republicans.

Interesting take. Now he's got Sean Patrick Maloney talking about how, for all their good intentions, the radical Democrats are damaging the party's standing with a majority of Americans.

I find it rather hilarious that our dry campus now has Coors Light as the official beer of IU Athletics and yes I understand that we are only talking sporting events. So is the campus still dry unless you are drinking Coors Light? LOL

Will our 21 and over athletes be doing ads for Coors Light? Maybe we can get those pretty blue mountains from their cans replicated on our Jerseys!

We have mentioned in a lot of different threads various people we'd like to see running for President, so I thought it might be interesting to have a place just for that discussion. So place your picks here, and let us know why you'd like to see them. Attached poll includes what I imagine would be some common reasoning.

I saw Whiskey Myers about a month ago in Raleigh. Pretty solid show, but it was a rainy night and the crowd was so rednecky it detracted from the show. They rocked more than I expected, and I enjoyed the music, but it wasn't the best environment between the rain, heat and crowd. I'd say a solid 7. Fast forward to this past Friday and I saw Drive By Truckers. Man, great show! Guys are probably all as old as me, but you can tell they still love to play and invest themselves in their performance. Rocked it hard for over 2 hours with no break. At the point when I was thinking, "man, they've got to end or take a break soon" and about 5 minutes into what wound up being their last song, the 2 front guys who both played guitar and sang, (probably 70/30 to Mike Cooley, who I think of as "the voice" of DBT) unplugged, waved and took their bows and applause and exited the stage, leaving the drummer, bassist and keyboards playing. After another minute or two, the bassist followed suit and the other two kept playing. Another minute or 2, and I expected the keyboardist to exit, but the drummer said his goodbyes leaving the keyboardist alone on stage. Finally he stood up, waved and walked off as they brought they house lights up. I thought it was a cool ending, versus everyone walking out and waiting for the cheers and perfunctory encore. Honestly, I thought it was a 10... maybe 9.9 because they didn't play one of my personal favorites Gravity's Gone. I had never seen DBT before and they were terrific. Definitely recommend catching them if you can. Still have tickets later this month to see Jamey Johnson and Blackberry Smoke (who's drummer just had a heart attack), Marcus King in October and comedian Nate Bargatze in December. Who/what shows have you seen and still have on the calendar?

It's probably not fair to make this comparison and I'm not making any kind of prediction but at least in terms of Donaven McCulley's body frame I keep thinking back to James Hardy. Hardy was listed at 6-5, 220, McCulley is currently listed at 6-5, 210. Hardy's 40 time is listed at 4.49, I found an article that lists McCulley's 40 at 4.6. So I don't know if that's 4.69, 4.6 flat, or somewhere in between. McCulley came in listed at 195 so he's already added some weight and my guess is in the next offseason or two he'll probably add 5-10 lbs more. (The listed weight may be a little inflated.) He might be able to shave up to a tenth off his 40 time too with good training.
What I don't know much about are 1) does he naturally have good hands and 2) does he have a natural ability to adjust to the flight of the ball. Obviously with more reps he will improve over time but if there is a natural talent for it that he's building on he could become a real weapon. I just saw a Tweet quoting him as saying he's always wanted to play receiver. I'm not sure how much of that is just him saying the right thing but if he truly wants to play the position that's a good sign. Perhaps he's identified this as the clearest path to the NFL? Not sure but I'm certainly anxious to see how he looks out there. I think having a receiver with great size will complement what DJ Matthews can do nicely.
