"This move tears at the independence of a free press in the United States. It suggests the government will choose the journalists who cover the president. In a free country, leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps.”

"It means the president can pick and choose who covers the executive branch, ignoring the fact that it is the American people who through their taxes pay for the running of the White House, the president’s travels and the press secretary’s salary.”

"A dangerous move for democracy."

IU coach. Has had a pretty good career but not sure what happened at UNLV. Under .500 there.

Per previous reports from the most trustworthy sources, Brad Stevens was given a deadline of Feb. 26 to make a decision on the IU HC position. We all already know why Feb 26 was the deadline and why this date is so important. I guess we will know tomorrow whether or not we can end the coaching search or cross one more candidate off the list.

Godspeed to ya.

I just spent over $50,000 to put a bank vault style door on my recently purchased Cave-front property..., along with another chunk of change on pallets of MRE's (the shipping is the killer) plus water storage and purification units And Now these scientists who said there Was a Real chance of the Big One landing on the Greater Indianapolis Area change their freaking minds...!??!?

Time to investigate NASA Elon... 😉

Will the basketball team win more Big Ten games than the football team?

The football team won 8 conference games. With the unexpected wins at Michigan State and vs. Purdue, we sit at 7 conference wins with 4 games to go. All 4 games are winnable, but also losable! We should beat Penn State and Ohio State at home... should. We should win at Washington, but the road is always tough, particularly traveling all the way to the Pacific Northwest. Not sure I expect a win at Oregon but you never know.

I think we'll get to 9 at least, but this team is so up and down, who knows. I don't think it's crazy to think we could lose 3 or all of the remaining games and not make it past the football team.

What say you?

I can't recall when a story about people I do not know has made me this sad and this irate. Sextortion of American teens by criminal gangs are causing suicides. Teen suicides often follow months or years of depression and often heroic efforts of parents and mental health professionals. These sextortion cases often do not, leaving grieving families bewildered and wondering what signs they missed. Tragically, they often missed none. Talk to you kids, especially teens. Tell them that your love and support is unconditional.

Should cruise through the primary on Name ID alone. Will be interesting to see how he does. Some people find him grating with overexposure.

That's sure something.

smh

Because, by all means, let's give Russia a lifeline while they lose a war they can't win and watch their economy shrink.

Trump is not just a Russian stooge....he's their best asset. You'll never convince me that Trump loves the American way over the Russian way.

It's a sad state of affairs when our GOP can't see this.

Talk about shitting and pissing all over our WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam vets...while he hollows out the VA, to boot.

Disgraceful, fellas.

I don’t understand the opposition against him. He’s the Coach Indiana needs.

The dust has settled on the first two weekends of the season along with one week of midweek games. Here is how the teams have done so far in the nonconference season along with their early RPI ranking.

To show you how puzzling the RPI can be, Purdue is currently ranked 15th in the country in RPI ranking yet they have played eight straight games against Our Sisters of the Poor competition so far. They have another four games this coming weekend against Akron which is currently 2-4. The RPI takes into consideration your opponents schedule as well as the opponents, opponents schedule which has to be in play here.

The early records don't mean much after just two weeks into the season, but I thought I would post it anyway.

Bigfoot has led his $6 million team to the brink of .500 in the B10. He seems to have figured out that he should play the winning players along with the appropriate big. Like it or not, MR was good yesterday. MM can sit and look uninterested for the rest of the ride.

3 very winnable games along with an opportunity to seal the deal @ Oregon. My geuss is that comes down to Senior day and OSU to go 3-1 and and recieve an invite to get smashed in round 1.

Maybe Drake in Dayton?

Very cool.

That sucks, but was gonna be hard for him to see the field.

at the UN General Assembly

Going into Nebraska is brutal.

Not a big documentary person but found myself watching this one because I love that era of basketball, it was pretty cool overall imo.

Summary - Details the 7/8 member undergrad USA college Select Team that defeated the '92 Dream Team in their first day scrimmage. No media present and 1 game tape, never before released.

*****Be Warned.******. Heavy Duke influence and bend with the documentary which might make you gag/throw up more than once.


Some takeaways.

- Kentucky's Mashburn wearing what I'm saying was a 10 grand gold chain is very telling. (There were a few others but his stood out.)

- Felt like the Select college team were guys that were known to be bought and paid for, from programs that were really elevating their under the table payrolls at the time. Duke, NC, KY, Michigan, etc.

And Coach K, ole Roy went out of their way to not mix in guys that were from programs that weren't obviously dirty and paying players.

- Some notable guys not on that Select Team due to their June draft status or undergrad status.

Shaq, Mourning, Jimmy Jackson, Harold Miner.

- Calbert was the only 1993 first team All American not on that USA Select team.



Curious, anybody know the story or have thoughts on why Calbert was omitted from that 1992 USA basketball college Select Team? tia

I'm starting to think the Big isn't very good. Purdue isn't a very talented team, I think they looked good earlier in the season because they brought back so many players. Wisconsin at times looked really good UCLA is talented, Maryland up and coming. not really impressed with anyone else

For all those talking about Drake’s low scoring games, I’m watching Michigan and Nebraska in a high scoring affair tied at 37 with just over 9 minutes left….in the game.

Combined scoring is 29 out of 100 shots for the game. Woof.

27 from the BT, 4 from IU, including 3 in Top 30:

1. Jeremiah Smith, WR, OSU
3. Caleb Downs, S, OSU
8. Drew Allar, QB, PSU
12. Mikail Kamara, DE, INDIANA
18. Dillon Theineman, S, Oregon
19, D'Angelo Ponds, CB, INDIANA
20. Koi Perich, S, Minnesota
27. Makhi Hughes, TB, Oregon
29. Xavier Scott, CB, Illinois

Seems a bit heavy on portal transfers. 18, 36, and 97 are familiar.

We are now back in the field according to Jerry Palm

This makes it hairy to kick him to the curb if he goes on a run .... wtf
