It's coming and yes it will be GLORIOUS!


Trump has promised to deport millions of migrants and vowed to use the U.S. Armed Forces on domestic soil to do it, rhetoric which Homan has echoed.

The incoming “border czar”, meanwhile, told his Chicago audience Monday that the mass deportation plan will begin in America’s third most populous city.

“We’re going to start right here in Chicago, Illinois,” he said.


“Chicago’s in trouble because your mayor sucks and your governor sucks,” Homan said, which local outlet WBEZ reported was received with cheers from the Republican crowd.

Of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, he said: ““If he doesn’t want to help, get the hell out of the way. But if he impedes us—if he knowingly harbors or conceals an illegal alien—I will prosecute him.”

He called Johnson and Illinois Gov. J.B. Prizker “terrible” at the same time that he asked them to “come to the table” and work with him.

On how to tighten our belts and make do with less?

Eli Drinkwitz up first.

Opening comments included compliments to KF and the Iowa program. Called KF the "gold standard of college football." Added that Iowa has been a sustained powerhouse. Lots of respect between these two coaches.

The Democrats have called Trump a fascist, Nazi, tyrant, criminal, a threat to democracy. It seems it would be incumbent upon them to prevent such a person from taking the seat of President.

Seems hard to believe we have heard all we have for 1-2 years and expect that those that cried the most loudly to simply agree to let him take office peacefully.

That brings in all sorts of options. Does Kamala vote to seat him? Do they throw him in jail? Do crazy people see this win as a call to take another crack at Trump?

Or do we finally see a return to normalcy, move on from the name calling that was so profoundly rejected by voters, and seek commonality and put the hand of reconciliation out to conservatives?

Certainly, that is my hope.

From the October show. Was reviewing those photos and this was the best of the bunch. (sometimes it takes a while to figure it out)

Quality baseball documentary! Over the years one kinda forgets why there is soooo much animosity between the Red Sox and the Yankees…
I had damn near forgot about Pedro/ARod and Veritek….one helluva brawl! (Can’t forget “Down Goes Zimmer” either.)
Good stuff if you like baseball and better if you like the Red Sox!
Watch it!

And to think it was not that long ago when Washington State was part of a power conference.

Too bad there was not a $2M cap on all college coaches.

Apologies for being a little bit tardy on this one.

Iowa WBB takes on Purdue (7-5, 0-1 Big Ten) today at 2 PM CT.

Not sure what’s more annoying; the Chad that does 1 rep in front of his phone every 5 minutes or the billions that sign up and overcrowd the gym for the first 2 weeks of every year before going back to all the old habits and starting the cycle again the following year after 11 months of “I’ll start again next week” excuses.

Rutgers doing work against KSt. 34-17 in the 3rd.

Remember last bowl season when Rutgers manhandled Miami? NW beat Utah. Wisconsin gave LSU all they wanted.

All teams that Iowa beat. 2 away from Kinnick.

Of course those teams never had a pulse, though.

Such a disrespect to how hard it is to win at all at that level, let alone for pretty much over 20 years straight

The 7-8 Miami Dolphins travel to Cleveland to face the 3-12 Browns today at 4:05 eastern time on CBS.

Amazingly, the Dolphins are still not mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, thanks to the Bengals' win.

To make the playoffs, Miami needs:

* Dolphins win vs Browns
* Dolphins win vs Jets
* Broncos lose vs Chiefs
* Colts lose vs Giants or Jaguars

Tua is listed as "doubtful" for the game.

Vegas has Miami at -3. The O/U is 32.5.

Weather Report: It's a winter heatwave in Cleveland! Temps will be in the upper 50s with light rain tapering off as the game progresses. But the winds will be 20-25 mph out of the south with higher gusts! Don't depend on the kicking game for this one!

PHINS UP!

Fans that have followed the Hawks for awhile will remember her, Played for Lisa 2002-2005, Also did some color work on radio, 41 years old with young family, Truly sad.

Wife and I looking for some place here in the states to spend a week vacation in April. We did a week hiking in Utah, where we had never been, this last fall and it was great. Neither of us has ever been to Texas so we are thinking about exploring Texas. We frequent NYC, Philly and DC fairly often, so I’m thinking that Dallas and Houston may be similar big city vibes, which we don’t really want. Thought maybe 4 days in Austin catching the BBQ and music scene, then San Antonio for a couple days? Any recommendations for those areas?

do you?

THE SCOOP​

Despite sharing a border, Iowa and Missouri almost never play one another in football (or most other sports, for that matter). The last Iowa-Missouri game? Also a bowl game -- the 2010 Insight Bowl, which was a 27-24 Iowa win thanks to a pick-six from Micah Hyde.

The last Iowa-Missouri game before that? A 5-0 Missouri win... in 1910.

Despite their close proximity, Iowa and Missouri rarely square off on the same field. So don't miss Monday's black-and-gold blow-off -- it might be a very long time until the next one takes place.

Iowa and Missouri enter this game off moderately disappointing seasons for each team; Missouri entered 2024 with raised hopes after knocking off Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl last year, while Iowa entertained visions of an improved offense and a run at the College Football Playoff. Instead, the Hawkeyes and Tigers combined to lose seven games over the fall and finished well outside the Playoff pecking order.

Their reward instead is a Monday afternoon game in Nashville. Bowl games have always hinged on motivation -- who wants to be there more? -- and increasingly they hinge on who is actually there. The transfer portal and the increased prevalence of opt-outs for the NFL Draft have made roster composition for bowl games something of a guessing game. Indeed, Iowa will be without Big Ten Running Back of the Year Kaleb Johnson for this game, while Missouri will be without leading receiver Luther Burden III (among others).

MORE HERE:

Spoke with a connection I have in the FCS about a powerhouse that’s supposedly about to — and I quote — “implode.” So, potentially some serious opportunity here for Iowa in the portal.

Hearing South Dakota State’s head coach is headed to Washington State. Probably going to bring a solid contingent of his staff and the roster with him.

Who knows how it all unfolds, but that could mean Iowa may have a shot at some pretty damn good SDSU players in the portal. No guarantees/names floating around or anything, but definitely something to keep tabs on.

Probably a game he’d like to forget. Higgins owned him today.

Congrats to the Iowa State Cyclones on winning ten games, getting good quarterback play, being co-conference regular season champions, and possibly playing in the Big 12 title game! What a special season.

The Vikings lead the Packers at the half 13-3.

TJ was targeted 5 times and had 5 catches for 68 yards (28 was the long).

Sam Darnold was 17-22 (77%) for 184 yds and 1 TD pass.
