To their credit, UNI has played a difficult schedule with these losses:

1 - Creighton
2 - at SDSU (as discussed elsewhere, SDSU is really good)
3 - Ball State (the one bad loss but the game they lost Grace B. (they’re second best player and best big) in 2nd quarter and couldn’t adapt / adjust mid-game)
4 - Auburn by 1 point, neutral
5 - Kansas by 3 points, neutral
6 - at Iowa by 6 points.

Wins versus major conference opponents in ISU and Pitt.

They have a good shot at the MVC automatic NCAA tournament bid I believe.

This is truth. UNI is a pretty good team. Credit to them for making this contest a close battle.

When you have infallible dogma and inflexible ideology, who needs judgment and critical thinking in leadership?

Abdulmohsen was a self-described ex-Muslim and had a series of tweets proclaiming his love for Israel. 🤷‍♂️

This Indiana team feels a lot like the 2015 Iowa team. Overall great season that ended with a touch of reality.

Although the difference imo is Indiana blew out most teams on their schedule. Easy schedule, yes, but they made it looks easy most of the time.

AOC is a moron and is just as terrifying as the worst republicans. She’s truly a dipshit.

But hilarious that the democrats continue to go back to their geriatric walking memes.

Actually, I think they are. Old people don’t have a damn clue and anyone who says otherwise is a liar. Sure there are sharp old people, but most of these people are well past their cognitive prime

Is it possible some of the targets may still be involved in the playoffs? This would include FCS. Spring window is still a possibility.

FACT

It's why it was left off the final bill.

Elno got what he wanted.
Now, Trump can dictate who the "investing" winners and losers are, because there is no formal law in place that mandates a fair playing field for all.

No, better for high income above limits or those that are having a bad year but have cash.

Indiana wasn't a great team, but they were very good. Iowa ended with a good record, but I'm not willing to say they could stay with Indiana. They had a lot of inconsistency on both sides of the ball this year.

The 2015 Hawkeyes say hello.

Main St stores are dependent on Main St economy and $$ circulating through the communities.

There has been a continual erosion of the $$ for Main St for decades now.
The Wall St businesses have been finding ways to scrape more and more money out of the middle class and remove the money from Main St.

Examples:

• Online betting; 10% of everything bet online leaves Main St and goes to rich Wall St companies, and overseas.
• Junk fees; those are all going to big corporations and big banks
• Gift cards (a huge holiday business); they take 5% or so of what you buy as "convenience fees"; all of that goes to big banks, so 90-95% of what you actually buy is what goes to the person you gifted for
• Credit cards; eat 2%+ of everything you buy that goes to banks; Main St has to pay that

Less capital available on Main St means economic downturn over the long haul. Most of what I'd listed above did not exist much prior to the 80s and 90s (credit cards were nowhere near as prevalent). You add all those up, and it is a constant drain of the pool of money to circulate through Main St. Look up the Velocity of Money if you want to understand how taking that money supply out of flyover country impacts flyover country...

Too lazy to do it, but I wonder if win percentage with vs without Doyle is very different

Click to expand...

I can promise you it’s not.

Doyle was there from 2011-2014 when Iowa went 26-25. OL play has not been dominant or good since the 2000s.

Yes, the OL has been trash since Doyle left, but correlation doesn’t mean causation. The truth is Iowa has put out a bunch of guys (like Plumb) who have no business being on a P5 roster let alone starting. I would also add OL really began regressing after Brian Ferentz stopped being the OL coach. When you factor in how much stronger and faster the defense has been since Doyle left, I don’t think there’s any real cause and effect here as it relates to Doyle.

Yes, Doyle was good. That doesn’t mean S&C completely went to shit after he left. The truth is there have been too many awful weak links on the OL forced into the starting lineup while being taught by a coach (Barnett) whom I am still perplexed by in terms of why he still has a job at the University of Iowa.

No, no, I think we all get your point. You are not assigning blame, just pointing out that blacks are inferior to whites. It has nothing to do with hundreds of years of systemic racism and governmental policy designed to keep the blacks unhealthy, un-educated, and servile.
