  1. can't read at work and in a meeting for 2 hours- what does this say? 3 stripes or bust. I took it as he is going to be a Hosier. OMG they just sent a lot of stuff. Like they're not gonna run out. You guys are desperate to read into everything!
  2. Yes he went down this summer. Same time as Rayhme I think.
  3. I can't believe folks aren't pointing out that he's saying this in white communities with an audience of predominantly white rally attendees. When asked about this his advisor (Kingston) said on CNN: KEILAR: I have to stop you because you said he's going there. He's not, he's in Diamondale, which is 93 percent white. When he was in Milwaukee the other day, it was part of Milwaukee that wasn't dealing -- I mean he, it's -- KINGSTON: Well yeah, but Brianna he went -- KEILAR: It's almost completely white. KINGSTON: I mean, maybe it would have been nice if he went and had a backdrop with a burning car, but the reality is -- KEILAR: No no no no no, I'm not talking about a burning car. I'm talking about meeting with black voters. KINGSTON: Well, he met with David Clarke, who as you know is the African-American Sheriff of Milwaukee, and he's engaged with him. And his rallies are open to the public. Last night in North Carolina, we saw a lot of African-Americans. I wasn't sure about the crowd content tonight, but the reality is -- KEILAR: It's white. We checked.
  4. I know he was here for spring game and FNL - are those his only two visits? If so, I think you're right.
  5. Why is it that the right tends to use nicknames and adjectives prior to any topic or person that they disagree with? It started long before Trump came on the ticket (though he's certainly jumped into the fray full force), I think Fox is likely to blame but I find it interesting that supposedly educated, savvy people will lessen whatever content they are about to say by labeling it with some stupid adjective. (i.e. "lame stream media" "crooked" "low energy" "lefties" and the list goes on, and on and on.) I got news for you "righties" ... it makes you look like 5 year olds - 5 year old bullies or whiners, I haven't decided which. Its demeaning to you as well. They don't think you can listen and form your own opinions without it being dumbed down to guttural insults that you can regurgitate verbatim after walking away from the tv.
  6. I'm no Manziel fan but he was pretty tough to beat in college. 3 years of being an unbeatable jacka$$ (really only 2) and then all these years of being a mess - wouldn't call him a success overall.
  7. It doesn't win an argument but it gets me riled up real fast and makes me judge the speaker immediately ... "main stream media".
  8. Somehow I don't think Riley makes this sort of oversight ... http://247sports.com/Bolt/Four-star-decommits-from-Michigan-after-mail-snafu-46908544 Little things count, like getting peoples name straight (didn't this also come up at OSU?)
  9. Not sure how you can consider NU being a legit #2 when we weren't even shown as a finalist in his selection video. Time to move on. I think they're considering it because it's what he said when interviewed. I'd put more weight on his comments than on what t-shirts the guys in the video had on.
  10. How easy is he to figure out? Wonder what he did as he was coming up the ranks and got annual reviews and employee performance reviews? Never mind, I can imagine how that rolled.
  11. Could be - the one I heard had a more mature George voice though, which I think is why I loved it so - just had more depth and meaning for some reason. It was on satellite radio (which I had for a month free) and although I got a screen shot of the song title etc it seems to be one (of many) that I actually tried to find after hearing it and have never had any luck.
  12. I wonder if it's when they felt more confident about Lewis or when they got the sense their efforts were not going to reap rewards with Lindsey. I bet Lewis started looking better and better as Tyjon became more obviously interested in OSU. I though it was obvious based on how much time Gebbia spent with Lewis at FNL vs. Lindsey that things had shifted and it was pretty much public knowledge.
  13. That's a fantastic example of his manic ways - his handlers are going to flip when they wake up and see that's he's gone rogue again.
  14. Oh dear! Somebody woke up on the wrong side of his gold plated bed this morning!
  15. Guess who went off script last night and got ahold of his Twitter password? He made it on the canned speeches/teleprompter for how long? 4 days?
  16. And guns, and assulting police officers. Im not naive to pot being around believe me - but I am very aware of events like this happening to such a high number of players, during the season is not something any program takes too lightly. At least 2 felony charges, and two off them off the team (one forever, one indefinitly)
  17. Who are you voting for? Anyone but Trump. It's very, very clear that he is the greatest of all evils that will be on the ballot. Go ahead and run in yourself into another circle about emails and benghazi though. So, then you are voting for Hillary.. Love the hypocrisy! If I were in a state that could swing either way, yes I would vote Hillary as a vote against Trump. Don't act like the two candidates are similar on any level though. They are way more alike than you understand, evidently. Both are all about themselves and will do anything to get what they want. ANYTHING! EDIT: it is seriously scary how little some of you really know or care to know about the person you are going to vote for. Because some of us have different opinions than you, or different priorities, or different morals doesn't mean we're dumb or uneducated or don't care about the election. From what I can tell everyone that has participated in these back and forth mind numbing, never moving forward conversations is quite well read on why they are voting for the candidate they are voting for. Share your comments about your candidate all you want, but don't imply that others don't know what they're doing or don't understand what's at stake with this election just because they're not climbing on your train. you can have differing opinions, but to ignore the things that Hillary has done and said, shows partisan ignorance at best! I don't ignore it. Her flaws in my opinion in no way come close to those of the other candidate. Don't call me ignorant. You can read right? Then show me where I called you ignorant. I clearly said "to ignore them is ignorance". Dude, you wear me out.
  18. I get the sense that Jamire is a kid with pretty high standards and discipline - I wonder with this weekend's events at ND how he'll respond. I thought the Williams thing would hurt us, but honestly I view that as a person with a problem, and what happened in ND is more systemic.
  19. Very interesting Zoog. I have a family member (raised in NE) that has lived overseas now for ~20 years. He married someone from there and although they've bounced through several countries, they've stayed in continental Europe. While his spouse has always made comments aligning to the beliefs of the Ethno-nationalists, I've found it interesting that no matter the country they go to (only one of which was her homeland, and obviously none are his) she holds these prejudices, even though she ultimately is what she rails against! She hasn't worked in 20 years, has benefitted from healthcare and all the support that comes from the government no matter the country they've lived in. It seems her main issue really isn't immigrants, it's people of color, specifically those coming from places outside of continental europe that practice religions or live in a way that is different than how she chooses to live. The heartbreaking thing is that after 20 years my fair minded, soft spoken, fair, family member has begun spouting much of the hateful rhetoric of his spouse. Interesting note - neither of them has voted in Europe (ever to my knowledge) and he hasn't voted in the US since he moved overseas. So for all their bravado and offensive, opinionated conversations they don't actually take the initiative to influence the outcomes. It will be interesting to see if the same holds true with our current conversations and those who actually go to the polls. Studies indicate that for all the rally attendance and interviews on tv, when it comes time to put pen to paper these folks don't do it. Another thought that came to mind as I read this ... are Americans (typically those who lean right) opposed to welfare and support of our citizens as a whole or is it really driven by racial prejudice? I'm trying to think of the last time I saw a minority talking about how the US shouldn't have universal healthcare or support its citizens in other ways.

  21. Okay. You support Hillary Clinton and everything she stands for. That is fine. No, really. You haven't been one to say she is bad but better than so and so. If you like her and her policies, that is your right and privilege to support her. I disagree with it and think she is unworthy of support but everyone has different opinions. I just really tire of the people that won't own it to the extent you and dudeguyy and NM and a few others do. For some others, it is like they are being forced to support Hillary because Trump is just so much worse. Like I said, anybody that supports either one of these candidates at this point really should dispense with invoking how rotten the other is. Go ahead and support the candidate that best represents you and be proud of it. But you don't get to disown the inconveniences of that support with mere words. Sorry, I've just really soured on our whole political process. These 2 POS candidates have pushed me over the edge. Sure I'd like everyone to come to that realization with me but it isn't going to happen. BRB and myself have gotten there and hopefully many others that are simply ignoring this topic because of its uselessness. I just can't muster the energy or rationale to support either one. Anyway, go ahead and have fun in here. I probably won't visit this page again unless there is some earth shattering news on the election front. Unfortunately, Zoogs is right. These are the two options we got. It reflects perhaps some unrest about the electoral process-- this year I've heard more examples for, say, changing the first past the post system than in years past-- but hopefully people realize the system isn't broken when it puts forth Clinton vs. Trump. It's got plenty of things that could be improved, sure, but it's not broken. Hopefully in four or eight years we can improve some electoral mechanics and it will put forth more widely palatable candidates again. I'm voting for Clinton because I agree with her policies. Simple as that. I also recognize her (numerous) flaws. But I agree that Trump is a menace to America. We'll see what dog and puppy show his new management tries to teach him to reset this thing. It won't matter for me. Re: the bolded, there are low-information voters out there every year. I feel like all of us in here are pretty sharp and pay pretty close attention. Unfortunately, I wonder how much of America is like us. How many of them just catch some headlines on TV or a paper, watch maybe one debate, and vote on that? If it's a large number (I hope it's not but fear it is), that's a damn shame. At the same time, there are hopeless partisans with their heads buried in the sand on both sides. Trump voters seem completely unable to process his serious flaws just the same as some Clinton voters do. That's a shame too, but not much to be done there. Can't really have a rational conversation with a homer. It's like trying to convince some of us on this board that the Skers won't finish a mediocre 7-5 or something this year. I guess my point is that hopefully the system just had a quirky year and spit out a few polarizing candidates this year. I don't think it's broken, just needs some improvement. Make sure you come back for the debates. There should be plenty to talk about. What he said Big factor for me is despite her flaws people across the world will still come to the table to partner with or at least have discussions with Hillary. Trump has insulted so many, and his arrogant (some of you would say his 'tell it like it is') attitude and lack of self awareness will not only prevent any sort of partnering or negotiation in any political situation, but he has and will continue to alienate us from the rest of the world. America is a great country, but we too are flawed. To not acknowledge that and act as if every country should strive to be like us is naive. We can learn from a lot other parts of the world and we need other countries. In today's times, there is zero room for error in international relations. He simply has no clue, and has made zero effort to learn or to even surround himself with experts that can help. Social issues are my driver, and there is no way I would cast my vote for someone who has disrespected every person other than white, christian, moneyed men. To allow someone like that to nominate judges to the most important court in the land at a time when rational minds are needed is (imo) irresponsible.
