    Weak Q1 GDP Report

    We provide products to the food and beverage industry, lumber industry, and the biggest packaging companies in the states.....and we have seen a pretty big slowdown in the last few months. My UPS acct mgr recently told me during covid around 2/3rds of his 170+ accts had higher volumes, now over...

    Anecdotal Reality - Fat Shots

    There are different levels of competitiveness, like all other sports. Your YMCA should have a youth team, which my kid had good luck with. There are a lot more serious clubs, but burnout is a real thing with youth swimming. I just want my one kid to be active. My other kids to other stuff...

    Anybody got an upcoming flight on a Deamliner (787)?

    How many of these issues that making headlines from repairs/service workers compared to mfg issues from the plant? Honestly don't know, but a tire falling off and a brake repair issue sounds like a lack of good service workers. A door coming off in its' initial flight seems obvious who is...

    CBS and Final Four Coverage

    Venues have multiple games on the same day. It's been figured out. All i am saying it would make for an incredible day of basketball. My main point was agreeing the date/time/station for men's game is beyond stupid....even though i bet the west coast appreciates watching PU vs UConn at a...

    CBS and Final Four Coverage

    having the men's championship game at 9:20 on a Monday night on some channel i didn't think existed anymore is why the ratings are bad. I think would be great, have the men's and women's same day same place. that would be a great day for college ball

    Basketball….men and women

    Women's game is hitting for me b/c the IUWBB were great to watch, while the men were embarrassing. Took my family to the IU vs Fairfield game and we didn't even watch the men on tv this year. To me basketball is like art and food; there are only two kinds....good and bad.

    Interesting article on Europe's decline and problems

    I have seen a definite slow down, especially the last few weeks. 2023 was a good year, but right now there is a doldrum in our industry.

    The End of the American Dream

    I don't like it for three reasons: the household income level is way too high once the school receives the money it is unaccountable i think...it violates the separation of church and state.

    The End of the American Dream

    The voucher program in IN is for bitches. If a household income is $100k+ and you need money for private schools than A) you should send kid to public school or B) put a sign in yard that says "I am a hypocrite b/c I rail against the welfare system but I am receiving thousands of dollars via...

    Did Allen Have a Chance?

    I think IU football fans are pretty realistic when it comes to program success. We are not asking for a top 5 or top 10 program. We are asking for top 50 offenses and defenses though. That comes with solid coaching and big10 level talent. As others mentioned, Allen couldn't hire solid coaches...

    New Beatles Song

    Siderail: What is the best album, even song written by someone over 40? I would say Petty's Wildflowers......what happens after age 35 where your song writing sucks?

    What should be done

    Hire the best DC for $4M, hire the best OC for $4M. No head coach. IU will always be stuck in this head coach cycle....binge & purge. The best teams have the best coordinators and the best talent....i'd start with the coordinators. What do we have to lose? We could only go up from here.

    Sports Trading Cards

    I collected in the late eighties - early nineties, which is the exact time you didn't want to collect cards. It would be cheaper to wipe my ass with those cards than to buy toilet paper now. If anyone needs to wipe their ass with a Mark Grace or a Rick Sutcliffe card I am your guy.......for the...

    Who else did we interview for the OC job?

    Bell's offenses have a pretty consistent pattern of being below average. I am not sure why Allen gets upset now when he knew what he was getting when he hired him. Even Bell has to be like......."why did you hire me then?"

    Who else did we interview for the OC job?

    I honestly cannot remember the other names that we interviewed or realistically were connected to
