Keep an eye out for this girls basketball coach at DeWitt. They just knocked off Davenport North with Kim Mulkey in the stands
watching her prized signee. DeWitt also beat Pleasant Valley highly ranked girls... What he has done with short, slender under classmates
is amazing

Saw someone (LSC i think?) in another thread ask this and thought it was worth a poll out of curiosity.

Further we get from the Dallas debacle the more appeal this sounds to me, but I am still probably a no this year.

What about you?

His entire presidency was a lie. Staff was running everything. They actually worked to keep Biden out of the loop. Many national security meetings were cancelled because Bien was just incapable of focusing. He was going to bed at 7PM at night. They did nothing but lie to all you democrats for 4 years. Sad part is most democrats actually bought their lies.

Any spit takes on extended video????

Ends quickly!

How many people use standard old toasters???
I have a toaster oven.
Used mostly reheating gluten free pizza and the like.
(Just microwave is NOT the answer gluten free!)

Of course I had my last PopTart at maybe age 14.

With the Christmas holiday coming up, I'm rolling this one out early to give everyone plenty of time. Let's get rolling with those predictions for the game against the Hurricanes in the Pop-Tarts Bowl.

1) Winner & margin of victory. (ex: Iowa State by six)
2) Total points scored. (ex: 52 points)
3) TIEBREAKER: How many passing yards will Iowa State finish with?

Number one will be the first determiner and then I'll take whoever gets closest to the total points. If needed, I'll go to the passing yards prediction to break a tie.

Contest winners will be rewarded as follows: first place (three free months added to your subscription); second place (two free months); third place (one free month).

Iowa State is currently a 3.5-point underdog and the over/under is 55.5 points.

***PLEASE NOTE***
YOU MUST HAVE A CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION TO BE ELIGIBLE TO WIN. THOSE WITH ACCOUNTS THAT HAVE BEEN 'CANCELED' OR THAT HAVE 'LAPSED' ARE INELIGIBLE.

For the OL!

Sounds like Wisconsin has over 2 dozen players in the portal. Could be rough for a while. I just want them to be good enough to beat Iowa.

San Jose State volleyball goes into total rebuild after losing 6 seniors (including the dude) and the portal allows another 7 players to transfer. Destroyed a women’s team to be a Make a Wish school for 1 guy. A good example of the portal benefiting student athletes not looking for NIL.

Campbell and TJ always seem to be on the winning side of the portal. Which is nice.

Nothing crazy here, but for those like me who enjoy bowl games...

1) Generally speaking, bowl games have been competitive this year. First five games through last night have been 11 points or less. Last season, there were six games on the first day (I'm not counting the Celebration Bowl), and three of those were decided by 20 points or more.

2) A couple of times this bowl season, both teams have been sporting their home (dark) colors in the bowls. IE last night, Georgia Southern (Blue) vs. Sam Houston (Red), rather than one team wearing light/white uniforms. James Madison v. Western Kentucky was Blue vs. Red. At some point, things changed--used to be that one team was always light/white.

3) The 1:00 bowl game today (Cure Bowl, Ohio vs. Jacksonville State) plays in Camping World Stadium, same stadium we play our game in. There are three bowls played there this year, including ours (Miami vs. Iowa State Pop-Tarts Bowl) and the Citrus Bowl on December 31 (South Carolina vs. Illinois).

I was just looking at a list of players who have declared for the NBA Draft. First of all, there's all kinds of kids on there who have no business declaring early. Gradey Dick is a prime example. (Caveat: I know they can still pull their names out of the draft.)

But if this holds true to form, Baylor stands to lose every piece in its vaunted back court from last year. L.J. Cryer, Adam Flagler and Keyonte George have all declared for the draft.

Meanwhile, Arkansas, who had an OK team but nothing to write home about last year, would be losing FIVE, count them, FIVE players to the Draft. Two of them were juniors last year and three were freshmen.

Kansas: In addition to Dick, Jaylen Wilson has also declared.

Kansas State: Marquis Nowell

TCU: Mike Miles Jr.

Texas: Dillon Mitchell, Tyrese Hunter

Texas Tech: De'Vion Harmon

Cincinnati: Landers Nolley

Houston: Marcus Sasser, Jamal Shead, Jarace Walker and Tramon Mark

UCF: Taylor Hendricks

Nobody from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, BYU, Iowa State or West Virginia declared for the draft.

Trump, fresh off his 15M judgment against ABC news, is going to sue the Des Moines Registrar. All about the worthless poll saying Kamala was going to win Iowa. It was a complete BS poll, intended to cause election interference, which it sort of did. That poll was so worthless, the lady had to retire before she got fired. My guess is the DMR will settle, just like ABC. There are plenty more suits to come, maybe hundreds more.

Apparently, a court is looking at a case that could give college athletes unlimited eligibility. How screwed up could this all end up?

Apparently it disqualifies Fani Willis, her boyfriend, and the team from the Trump case in Georgia. Reason “significant appearance of impropriety.” Fani was funneling public funds to her boyfriend, who was the prosecutor of the case. Unless they can find another prosecutor in Georgia for the case, it is likely dead.
