Daily Hoosier (DH) - Finding the next Jordan Hulls & AC Yasir Rosemond on Phinisee/Lander transfers


The days of the NCAA governing body are numbered.

The B1G and SEC are expanding for the sole purpose of muscling out the NCAA, who have been making some unpopular choices the last several years.

Eventually, the B1G and SEC will have 32 teams each, then they will merge, self govern separately from the NCAA and you will have a CFB Playoff scenario unfold, with a "National Championship" independent of the NCAA.

After that, you will see some sort of relegation similar to European Soccer, where the elites play the elites and the bottom feeders get relegated to a consolation league.

That is how I see it, and I hope IU isn't one of those relegated downward.

Arizona, ASU, Utah, Colorado are the teams of interest.

Covid positive, vaxxed and boosted

I attended a scientific conference in person last week, a smallish gathering, ~100 attendees, all vaxxed and boosted, no masks, but many activities including all meals but one were outside. On the last day it was announced that an attendee had tested positive, with mild symptoms. He had been at the one indoor dinner at my table. I took two flights each way, wearing n95s.

Saturday afternoon I noticed a scratchy throat. Sunday morning it was worse, I tested positive for COVID by a rapid antigen test, then did a drive through pcr test, Result for that took 24 hrs but was also positive.

Now it's Day 4 and still no fever, no chills, no low oxygen, no BP abnormalities, or anything other than stuffy nose and scratchy throat. Those generally clear up halfway with DayQuil. I guess I don’t need Paxlovid. I tried calling my doctor and I get the runaround. Not high risk. 59, not a lard-butt anymore.

Energy is good. Got stir crazy and went to the neighborhood park this AM and played 18 holes of disc golf, as the course was completely empty.

For me, this is nothing. A cold. Because vaccines work.

As I listen to Stars and Stripes Forever

Performed live by the Palm Beach Symphony, and following Copeland's Lincoln Portrait, featuring words from The Gettysburg Address, Emancipation Proclamation, inaugural addresses, and various other famous passages...

I am struck that the country is now for the first time as divided as it was in 1861. The slavers are gone, replaced with angry white male supremacists who pose no less a threat to our democracy than did the cannons trained on Ft. Sumter.

May we somehow preserve this grand experiment from those who actively seek to destroy it from within.

While lighting a sparkler, teach your child not to hate. Teach them that this is a dream worth keeping alive. Laugh with them, but cry too, for this fractured country fueled all too often by hatred such that our better natures are locked away.
