Peach Jam begins today with the first few games and will run through the end of the week.

Thehoosier.com will be there later this week.

First game of the day was Team Takeover vs Pro Skills as a play-in game for the tournament portion of Peach Jam.

2023 four-star guard DeShawn Harris-Smith was terrific for Team Takeover. He had 17 points on 4-of-8 from the field and 9-of-11 from the free throw line. Added 11 rebounds and three assists.

He impacted the game at such a high level on both ends of the floor. Has such good length, quickness and feel for the game that he can guard and play multiple wing positions. Very good with the ball in his hands making plays for his team.

Team Takeover won 59-44 after outscoring Pro Skills 22-8 in the fourth quarter.

After reviewing every claim of fraud and irregularities brought by Donald Trump and his supporters in all 64 cases challenging the 2020 election, a group of notable conservatives has reached the "unequivocal" conclusion that Trump's claims of election fraud are unsupported by evidence.

The group also examined all post-election reviews and audits in six battleground states. "Donald Trump and his supporters had their day in court and failed to produce substantive evidence to make their case," Lost, Not Stolen: The Conservative Case Trump Lost and Biden Won the 2020 Presidential Election states.

The 72-page report is signed by retired federal appeals court judges Thomas B. Griffith, J. Michael Luttig and Michael W. McConnell, former Solicitor General Theodore B. Olson, Senators John Danforth and Gordon H. Smith, longtime Republican election lawyer Benjamin L. Ginsberg and veteran Republican congressional chief of staff David Hoppe.

WTF. Allegedly someone walked by, poured lighter fluid on him, set him on fire, and left. Miserable way to die. Could have been another homeless guy, whatever, but damn that's evil. There seems to be so much evil in this country at the moment. Going into a school and seeing the faces of little children and blowing them away to the point of them being unrecognizable. One right after another. Of course it's mental; but pure evil too. Murders are at a 30 or 40 year high.

Trivial I know but our leagues here are having a horrible time finding people to ref. Over $20 an hour often times. No one wants to ref because the parents are so out of control. Going onto the field. Just losing their shit over a kids' game, of which there will be a thousand more. They would rather work at Smoothie King than be outside reffing games. Some games parents are required to watch from their cars. You can't even see the fields from the cars

I was curious about religion/faith. As of this year membership/attendance at churches, synagogues, and mosques is 47%. In 2000 it was 70%. It's been at 70% or slightly higher for decades. That's a huge decline. Church was a big part of my life growing up. My kids never go. Ever. Same holds true for my friends' families. Is this lack of faith contributing to our craziness? Is it social media? All of it?

Seems to me that gun legislation (permits/high cap mags at least) is vitally important, particularly in light of how crazy we're becoming, but maybe a lack of faith or fear of something after this life is something we should get back to as well. I don't know. Seems like we are circling the drain

On FN says he likes to play defense …

One story line reminds me of Cheryl and Reggie Miller

I still expect the depth of talent to create an overwhelming defense that will wear opponents out, without getting gassed in the process.

In a stunning storm cloud on the lovefest that is IU pre-season speculation, the Hoosiers have never won 25 games in a season without a lockdown 3pt shooter knocking them down at a 40% plus clip.
They didn't have one last year, so either someone steps up Big on outside shooting, or the results might not be as good as expected/projected.

These things drive me nuts. I almost left the site when they did the constant video on the top but figured out how to mostly get around it with my iPad. This new one is terrible. It may cause me to leave. I just cannot read the posts with that thing popping up in my face. They have gone too far for me.

We didn't make the cut, decision in August.

Why do you think it is ok to abort a lifeform (or potential lifeform) just because a birthing lifeform cannot use free condoms (fromPP), free birth control pills (from PP), or the free day after pill (from PP) or even abstain from sex during the 3-4 days a month of ovulation, or just engage in oral sex for those 3-4 days, or engage in anal sex for those 3-4 days? Elective abortions make up 95-97% of all abortions, meaning the abortion is not due to rape, incest, or life /health of the birthing lifeform.

I haven’t followed details of this but this doesn’t sound good:

Tax and spend defeated - again - for the failure it has always been.

November is still coming.
This nation needs common sense in the House, and compromise-requiring grid-lock or deliberation in the Senate.


1. Law and order requires well-paid, well-trained police.
2. Good jobs require good, stable, profitable employers.
3. Good primary school base-line education requires readin', 'ritin' and 'rithmetic - not sexual/social justice studies.

So let it be written - so let it be done - starting in November.
Hell, its 3 things - more than the average vote whore can handle anyway.

Start by stopping talking about Trump and abortion. Neither of those conversations is gonna help fix this nation.

Cops. Jobs. Schools.
Make 'em chuck it from the cheap seats.
Watch that purgatory they call a gym.
No drive, 12 foot in.
That'll do.

I was driving down the road and saw my ex.
It's funny how "I'd hit that" changed meaning over the years.

Just because the brother was brandishing a firearm and demanding cash, he didn't deserve to get shot. "Yes, he's robbing us... oh well"
