    Not Sure I Can Go Back

    State College is the only one comparable to Bloomington as far as metro areas. Lots of the rest are bigger cities or are in bigger metro areas (i.e. combining Lansing/East Lansing or Lafayette/W. Lafayette). A lot of those cities also have their own network TV stations which is a big part of...

    Interesting statements from Penix, Jr.

    The context here is it was 2021 and Penix was talking to his surgeon (possibly a national name from out of state like a James Andrews) on the phone. It was very hard to get in for appointments and surgeries were backed up due to COVID at the time. It's ludicrous to think that IU didn't have...

    Who is our starting QB Saturday?

    Nolan left TCU during camp and there's no word about him ending up anywhere else.

    How are we going to cover those O$U receivers?

    Ohio State ran for 340 yards against us last year so slowing that down is job #1. It's definitely going to be a huge challenge even if our defense is much-improved over last year. Obviously we're going to need some good calls at the right times, execution, good tackling (they'll break some...

    Christie is hitting Trump very hard every time Trump opens his mouth.

    IMHO, AI/Robots are eventually going to make universal income inevitable. Hopefully there's lots of prosperity for all and people can still do meaningful work instead of some mega corps owning all the AI/robots and people starving who aren't in the club.

    Ohio State thoughts

    Agreed. If you dig into Day's results as OC on his own (at Temple and Boston College) they aren't super impressive. Will be harder to replace than people think. Brian Hartline is an incredible recruiter/WRs coach but very unproven as OC. Definitely something that will show up in the big...

    Ohio State thoughts

    The only teams that scored over 21 against Ohio State last year were Penn State, Maryland, Michigan, and Georgia. So that'd be a pretty good sign for our offense.

    Jackson has to be the starter, right?

    I heard Sorsby was ahead of Tayven in the spring, so yes, it was a real contest.

    Hunter Biden charged.

    I've never understood what all these other Hunter Biden crimes were supposed to be besides drug use and maybe not registering as a foreign agent. Unless you get to top-level nutso stuff (a guy at work thought the Ukraine/Russia war was all about Hunter Biden), what the GOP alleged in with all...

    Trump indicted….again

    Really good breakdown here, just based on what we know from court filings/media reporters. Prosecution may have more. https://www.scribd.com/document/650130579/Just-Security-Model-Prosecution-Memo-Trump-Classified-Documents-Second-Edition-June-2023# Also this quote from Trump from 2016 And...

    And Now, The Backward-Ass Third World Counties

    A lot of states have laws that they can't count early/mail ballots until the day of voting or afterwards. We also have more stuff on our ballots than a lot of other countries, where you might just vote for a party for Parliament and drop it in a box. I had Senate/House, the Indiana state...

    Goat's POLS thread for election nerds.

    The GOP barely having a majority in the House and it being a complete dysfunctional @#$%-show for McCarthy to do anything because of the Freedom Caucus, etc is probably the ideal scenario politically for Dems going into 2024.

    So who is proven right on election night?

    Beto and Abrams have done a ton of work to build organizations up in Texas/Georgia but they should be involved that way instead of running for statewide office. Abbott even with his many flaws is a stronger candidate than Cruz and has a good ground organization. It's a lot of different things...

    Is Biden Acting More Like a King or A Dictator?

    Whatever Dems do, Republicans will whine about them going too far because it's good politics just to obstruct. They'd water down most of the Dem bills into things that wouldn't do enough to solve problems or that will actually help most voters. They'll flat out block a lot of other things that...

    Really Man Dr. Suess? What do you all think about this?

    Fox News tried to cancel The Lorax in 2012 https://www.theguardian.com/film/2012/feb/23/fox-lou-dobbs-lorax-liberal-agenda Like I said, this is a brilliant strategy to get conservatives to buy Dr. Seuss books to teach their kids progressive life lessons.

    Voter Suppression is alive and well in Georgia

    There should be one overarching federal ID for everything instead of a very insecure social security number, passports, driver's licenses, real ID, etc. That should also automatically register you to vote unless you opt out of that piece. If the IRS/SSA, etc know you've moved that should be...

    Really Man Dr. Suess? What do you all think about this?

    Now they're selling tons of books. It's a genius way for the estate to cash out and also trick conservatives into reading their kids Dr. Seuss that will indoctrinate liberal viewpoints to them like protecting the environment and not being racist.

    How's That Electric Grid Improvement Holding Up?

    Really good thread here from an engineering professor at Princeton Basically ERCOT publishes all the data, so you can see what capacity is offline and how this was more than their "worst-case" scenario for cold-weather demand.
