14th-ranked Iowa soccer (13-1-3, 8-1-1) picked up two more shutout wins last week, beating #24 Washington (9-5-2, 6-4) 1-0 and following it up with a 4-0 win over Oregon (5-10-2, 1-7-2). Even more impressive, Macy Enneking set a school record for the Hawkeyes, picking up her 39th win, most ever at Iowa.

Enneking has been the backbone of the Hawkeye defense for her entire tenure, leading Iowa to a Cinderella Big Ten Tournament Championship in 2020 and a similar run in 2023. Now, as part of one of Iowa's best teams in history, she's etched her name in the school record books.

Arrogant Kamala Harris told union president she’d win election ‘with or without you’ — before crushing loss​

Not a winning attitude.

A union leader revealed that Vice President Kamala Harris stormed out of a meeting on the campaign trail, arrogantly telling him she didn’t need his support because she’d “win with you or without you” — just before her crushing loss to Donald Trump.

Teamsters President Sean O’Brien recalled the episode on “The Tucker Carlson Show” Monday as he discussed his union’s historic decision not to endorse a presidential candidate for the first time in nearly 30 years.

O’Brien said Harris finally agreed to sit with the Teasmstars for a roundtable after President Biden dropped out of the race, just to only answer a quarter of their 16 questions. Other candidates, including Trump, answered them all.

“On the fourth question, one of her operatives or one of her staff slips a note in front of me — ‘This will be the last question.’ And it was 20 minutes earlier than the time it was going to end,” O’Brien told Carlson.

“And her declaration of the way out was, ‘I’m going to win with you or without you,’’ he recalled.

Carlson quipped, “Damn. I thought I was arrogant. That’s really arrogant.”

O’Brien said he contacted Biden’s former Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh to talk about the vice president.

“Let me ask you a question, Marty. Excuse my French. Who does this f–king lady think she is?” he remembered asking Walsh, who is now the head of the NHL Players’ Association.

The union president said he had met Biden before he ended his reelection bid and was concerned at his decline — saying the Democrats’ initial plan to run the 82-year-old for a second term “kinda looked like elderly abuse.”

“We had Biden in there and you could just clearly tell he was not the man he was. It was kinda sad,” O’Brien said, adding that Biden was a good president for workers.

Weeks before the election, O’Brien announced that for the first time since 1996 the Teamsters would not be endorsing a presidential candidate after years of a relatively reliable alliance with Democrats.

In fact, the union revealed its 1.3 million members overwhelmingly supported Trump over Harris 59.6% to 34%.

Before Biden withdrew, he’d held a steady lead of 44.3% to Trump’s 36.3%.

The Teamsters backed the Biden-Harris ticket in 2020 and endorsed Hillary Clinton over Trump in 2016.

Thats been floating around a few places regarding Trump's next tax plan... Put another way that MAGAs may understand, "people are saying".... Is it accurate?

not too shocking

I know they are our rival and that is why I'm following them more than other schools but...

Why were they ranked to start the year in the top 15? We have made it over a month into the season and their best win is a 2 point win over Drake at home. While they have challenged themselves with tough games, the majority of their non-conference looks very, very soft. Kind of like our men's team type of schedule.

Why did people think they were supposed to be THAT good?

It's a rare late-afternoon game in Miami Gardens as the Dolphins host the San Francisco 49ers at 4:25 eastern on CBS.

Both teams had very disappointing seasons, entering the game at 6-8. With no playoff hopes, both teams are playing for next year's roster spots and/or pride.

Tua imploded last week with a season's worth of giveaways in one game. For all the talk about Miami's high-powered offense, it's been Miami's defense that has impressed, and Miami's defensive coordinator is reportedly on the market for a head coach job.

This is the last home game of the season for the Dolphins. After today they'll have cold-weather games against Cleveland and the NY Jets.

Weather Report: Sunny, temps in the low 70s, with light winds out of the NE and zero chance of rain.

FINS UP!

With the ruling that JUCO athletes retain all 4 years of NCAA eligibility regardless if they play at a JUCO for two years, how does that impact recruiting in sports? I would think it makes jucos more enticing for players to attend as they are pretty much a prep school now, especially with DI rosters being cut in most sports. Login to view embedded media

Caught up extensively for some portal talk with a source tonight.

This is premium content. Please subscribe to view.

Time for HBOT to get their festivus on.

Adam, Ross AND i discuss Iowa's miss on Penn State transfer portal quarterback, Beau Pribula and the latest commitment in Central Michigan DL, Jonah Pace.

PODCAST:

I like Thelwell starting, but the Hawks got out-rebounded again yesterday. Any of you geniuses got a solution other than 'Fire Fran'?

Some sights are showing Iowa as the front runner despite a recent visit to Columbus. I just don't see how we have the funds comparatively.

There's your second transfer commit. Premium three thoughts shortly.

STORY:

When revenue sharing starts.

1. Will student athletes be classified as employees or independent contractors?
2. Will their pay be public record?
3. Can the university fine them if they violate university policy?
4. Will student athletes unionize?
4. If they do unionize, will there be a collective bargaining agreement?

That day where people whose entire existence is based on threads on this site bump as many of their threads to the top of the board as possible.
