Thanksgiving suckery

Anyone have to deal with anyone at their thanksgiving get together that absolutely sucks? I am pretty fortunate that my mom, bonus dad, siblings and their spouses, and the kids are all pretty groovy and fun to be around. Very much a come as you are crowd. I have heard horror stories about how a certain family member can ruin family get togethers.

Let’s be honest, I’m sitting in a piece of equipment while dirt is being hauled so I’m bored AF. Even if you want to make something up or hell even boobs will work.

Oct 31, 2022: Fran brings up putting Students behind the Benches (Beth wants students around the court). Future Renovation of Carver-Hawkeye Arena?

FYI, their season tickets are only a small portion of the capacity. Northwestern has only sold out one game this year, and it’s next week’s game vs. Illinois … and trust me when I say over 60% of that crowd will be in orange.

Trump’s new Sec of Treasury 3-3-3 plan

To be accurate, it was his massive tax cuts right off the bat that created the debt he's responsible for. And his first order of business will be more cuts for himself and his buddies. He doesn't give a single shit about the deficit.
Well the massive tax cuts and his deficit spending to be accurate. You can do tax cuts but imo you have to also cut spending but he wanted to use the low interest rates for spending.

I’m in favor of keeping the Trump tax cuts but raising it on $400k and up like the Biden admin wanted. Also in favor of raising the corporate rate to 24%. But that is a simplistic view of how to fix the tax system. Will be interesting on how the no tax on Tips and SSI works out though

Iowa's most interesting play call last week

Another "interesting" play call, in Doodle's humble opinion anyway, was Locksley calling for a punt down two touchdowns with 49 seconds left on 4th and 12 from just shy of midfield. As a highly-paid coach of a P4 program, how do you possibly try to explain and defend that decision?

Is "don't give up any more points to Iowa" really your primary concern at that juncture of the game? It certainly seemed like that was the case. What lesson does that teach your players?

In reality, no matter how hopeless the situation may seem, being that completely and utterly gutless should be a fireable offense at any level of football.

BIG

Yep. My bad. Couldn’t remember I thought the ACC Big Ten thing was over and maybe they had started another one.
I wish there were one! Honestly surprised we haven’t set up a Big Ten/Big 12 Challenge since we’re both affiliated with FOX. Tons of pretty natural matchups whether it’s geography (Cincinnati/OSU), former conference rivalries (Arizona/UCLA and Colorado/Nebraska), etc. I assume they’d keep Iowa/Iowa State separate from such a challenge.

Anyone speak more than one language?

40% of English comes directly from French. The rest is Germanic, but mostly Friesian.

Dutch is also closely related.

If one learns simple verbs, then applies the etymology of the word, an English speaker can get by in German. Most of our German vocabulary are combined words like shoemaker.

Because that’s the construction of the language.

Sorry if that’s too much. Hard to put a whole lesson on this in a short post.
You might be too intelligent to post here.

There is not a playoff worthy team in the big 12

It doesn't really matter in a few years. The BIG and SEC have been meeting and you know damn well the BIG 12 ain't gonna be part of BIG Boy football much longer. The writing is on the wall and your team is in a conference of misfit toys. The BIG 12 will be irrelevant within a few years and the revenue will tank for you clowns.
And the entire country will tune in to see northwestern Purdue Maryland Rutgers Minnesota vandy and another dozen or more trash bottom feeders play every week. Ohio St Michigan and Oregon can’t play each other every week.

At some point the general fans will lose interest.

IMO that is when the NFL should start scheduling Saturday games.
