Purdue outrebounded Iowa 24-20 in West Lafayette. Not exactly dominant. Offensive rebounds were 6-4, again Purdue with the slight advantage. Iowa shot a better FG %and 3PT % in that game, but got destroyed with free throw attempts, which is arguably an indicator of inside dominance I...

Bedraggled, even.

Their two best players are out, for starters.

Really great to see. I hope he continues to make progress and can be a reliable NFL player. Even though he was only a hawk for one year, he is a GREAT hawkeye. I will remember some of his great plays and leadership.

I totally agree. I was surprised with the (lack of) officiating in this important game. Miami mugged Indiana receivers the entire game. Don't get me started on the targeting on Mendoza.

This was dang close.

I've been following the construction updates on the internet. The place is small but the seats are all very close, and with the (mostly) covered stadium, I'm guessing it could get pretty loud, despite it's small size. https://rebuildryanfield.com/construction-updates/

I live far away now, but I'm strongly considering going to Chicago and visiting that new stadium for the Iowa game! Fly into Chicago, stay downtown, eat pizza, drink beer, take the red line to Evanston, walk to stadium. good times!

It seems like you are saying the key piece is the team, not the building. I still do agree a new arena would be awesome. It doesn't matter all that much if the team is bad, though. Again, the WBB team sells out Carver. Families have a great time. The place gets loud. Maybe it's a...

Yeah, I wish they would fix the blue hair situation. And everyone, I agree that it would be awesome to have a super modern, slightly smaller, extremely loud, fan friendly environment. I cool new ON CAMPUS arena would be great, but building something even further away would be not so great, in...

For some reason, Carver rocks when the WBB team is playing. While I agree Carver is dated and less than ideal, it is after all just a building. The people need to cheer.

I'm with you. I was kind of rooting for Ole Miss because screw Lane Kiffin. Plus, Chambliss seems like a great guy. Having said that, I'm pretty happy to see ZERO SEC teams with a chance to win the Natty.

The profit margin that auto makers have on full size trucks is impressive. I'll just say that.

Just doing a welfare check on PC Hawk, who was ebullient about the marriage of Elon and Trump. Turns out Elon is very unhappy with the Big, Bullship Bill, and that bill will add a few Trillion to the debt. Just wondering how he's feeling, given that his assumptions about Trump/Elon and the...

Yes, I think that's part of why they have made changes. I have hopes for Lester's offense. We saw some glimmers last year.

Absolutely. Even more specifically, the poor go to war and the rich make the decisions to send them there. If our nation's senior leaders had kids in combat zones, they might behave differently.

Some people think all of this is benign. I think it's a mistake to just say "Trump's an idiot and we shouldn't worry." We should. He may well be an idiot, but he's an ambitious one. He has a history of testing the waters to see what he can get away with. He's doing it now with the...

Also, not "societal collapse" level but certainly adds a level of uncertainty to our current situation. For those that could use a reminder, Trump campaigned heavily on the idea of improving the economy, right away. He said "I will lower prices day one." I'm no macroeconomics guru, but this...

They are. I've done the race twice, and at that time of day, there is a very strong current that is going back out to sea. The race organizers admonish people over and over again to "sight" straight across the bay and aim for a key landmark, and not try swimming directly to the finish, as you...

Not exactly societal collapse, but adjacent, IMHO. Not a societal collapse warning, but perhaps a societal collapse watch:
