Yup.

Noem, her boss and their ilk believe the 1/6/21 cop-mauling, democracy-hating felons were patriotic heroes while Renee Good was an evil terrorist who deserved to die.

From the Wall Street Journal:

The Sunshine State used to be where all walks of life could afford to retire, but now, wealthy individuals make up a growing share of people at or near retirement age arriving in Florida from other states, according to U.S. Census Bureau data.

For many working- and middle-class people, the decades-old promise of an affordable sun-drenched sanctuary is fading in the face of high home prices, insurance premiums and property taxes, among other costs.

Just another example of the many hurdles facing the middle class today. Those aspiring simply to reach middle class are doing even worse, as the poors are being more dumped on than ever.

But on the plus side, there's never been a better time to be a billionaire!

As a Bears fan I decided to listen to Hamp and OB for the first time im awhile. They seemed pretty adamant that MLF was terrible in the 2H, in particular his play calls of running up the middle.  I don't follow football very closely but I tend to agree with them.   The first three possessions in the 2H for GB were pretty inexplicable.  I wouldn't be surprised if MLF is shown the door. 

As for the Bears, I have no idea how they have done it but you have to give them credit for resiliency.  I think their O-Line is much, much, better than year's past.  It looks like Seattle is the best in the NFC but maybe the Pope and somebody up there is helping the Bears?   It's beyond belief that was their 1st playoff win since 2010.

Marquette's NET Ranking went from #156 To #151

Marquette's Kenpom is at #114

Interesting take. I certainly get the point you are trying to make re protest vote to send a message to both parties. I take the position that I do not miss any votes in any election and find some reason why one candidate is more appealing than the other. I didn't have an issue with this in 2024 presidential due to the unpopularity of one of them but the last Chicago mayoral election really tested me. I recall being in the voting booth still undecided because I disliked both of them before taking a deep breath and making a selection. As a country we need to find a way to get back to these days.



I appreciate the mods tolerance with this thread and I wish the posters here could avoid being so personal with the insulting language going forward.

Quote from: Zog from Margo on Today at 12:03:18 PMI don't see this at all. Shaka was willing to stick with his recruits to the point of risking a very poor season. How does that place Shaka at a disadvantage when recruiting against a coach who doesn't have a similar commitment and who must acknowledge he will portal over a frosh recruit rather than take any risk on development? No matter what Shaka does going forward with respect to the portal, he's already demonstrated a greater commitment to development than almost any other D-1 coach. And after 4 years of this- not one-what does he have to show for it?

Shaka was hired to win basketball games, and not at the expense of obsessing with promises to his recruits. Perhaps Sean's mom Sherrie is not the only one who believes that Shaka should be judged for more than his ability to win games. And I am not suggesting that nothing else matters/anything goes. The word primacy seems appropriate here. What is first and foremost?

Quote from: TSmith34, Inc. on Today at 11:49:51 AMOh, I agree. A slim plurality voted for fascism. 30% because they are excited for it.

You seem like a passionate individual.
May I ask your age?

Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 11:56:53 AMI'd take Luke Fickell over MLF at this point. Give me Harbaugh. McDaniels. Don't really care. Some nerd came in and started calling out MLF, and MLF just shriveled up and took the beating.

Matt LaFleur is a guy who cares about how his hair looks on the sideline and how Ben Johnson touches his back. In the words of Logan Roy, he is not a serious coach.

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on Today at 11:42:49 AMfair enough, maybe I'm overestimating Parham's development and skills as well as his hustle (he was really the only one who seemed to be going 100% at the Purdue game) . I like his hustle, and I think with his physique and upper body strength, he can be a double-figure scorer in the post  who can draw defenders out thanks to his ability to shoot (thinking a 14 and 7 kind of guy).

BTW, this is based on Shaka continuing his strict RVG.

I dont think he's a savior, but he can be a functional piece on a BE team.

There was one drive in particular in the 2nd half where he really just had great control and touch to finish through contact in the lane. We don't see that a lot from this team. And despite.the numbers, I think his shot looks better than Ben's- if he could get the 3s to hit at a 33-35% clip then he'd be a legit BE starter - a big if...
