Aaron Graves, confirmed BACK.

STORY:

Go Indiana!

Take the under

Well duh!:
Xowner Elon Musk earlier this week killed a bipartisan deal to keep the federal government open, and even many Republicans are reportedly not happy about it.

Writing on X, Fox News reporter Liz Elkind reveals that there is "a LOT of frustration at Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy from rank-and-file House Rs this morning" after the two men publicly killed the bipartisan deal.


"I'll have nothing to do with them after watching them publicly trash the speaker," said one, while another Republican lawmaker accused them of "freelancing and shooting off the hip" to kill the bill without understanding key provisions that they had criticized.



What's more, one unnamed House Republican even expressed frustration with President-elect Donald Trump for going along with Musk.



"Trump doesn’t understand Congress," this member said. "He wants all GOP wins and no concessions to Dems. The Senate and WH are still run by Dems. He’s not living in reality."

Musk has said that the government should simply shut down for the next month until the day Trump is inaugurated for his second term on January 20th.

Trump, for his part, has said that he's willing to accept a shutdown but is trying to shift the blame for it to outgoing President Joe Biden.

#22 Iowa at home to take on UNI tonight.

Iowa listed as 15.5 point favorites over the Panthers, per ESPN BET.

Tip-off is at 6:30 PM.

BTN+ has coverage of the game:

Are away teams allotted an even # of tickets as the home team?

I was entirely unaware that actress Anne Ramsey quit acting, changed her name to Cynthia Lumis, and is now a U.S. Senator for the state of Wyoming:

Aliens?

Last night at a middle school basketball game the opposing coach threw a tantrum that would make Fran McCaffrey blush. This idiot not only started cussing out the officials but also started cussing at our boys while flailing his arms and turning psychotic. It got so bad they ended the game with :14 seconds left and a police officer had to escort him off the court.

Middle. School. Basketball.

I won’t mention the number of stupid parents who reeked of marijuana and knew about as much about basketball as MAGAs know about inflation.

Over the years, I have seen this type of behavior get worse and worse. I’m curious what others have seen. Any anecdotes?

I wrote up an article on some specific things Fran could try to improve the defense. Give it a read and we can discuss it here. I'm just hearing his latest comments about Traore which will bum you out even more after you read the article.

She faces some stiff competition to get in (now or in the future), but a very cool honor for Lisa Bluder all the same.

My B1G+ isn’t working yet after I restarted it today and was going to see if someone posted a free link

I should have taken a picture, but the Hampton Inn I stayed at last night had a fishbowl on the front desk with a sign that says, "Drop your business card with your Hilton Honors number written on it for chance to win 5,000 Honors Points".

WHY the requirement to write your account number on the card??? Anyone could go fishing in that bowl and have your name and Honors number, and possibly the email address and mobile phone number associated with that account, too!

Why can't they simply contact the winner to get the Honors number? That's the entire point of a business card. So people can contact you.

Post your favorite originals and covers HORT!!!

By 15 interestingly enough.

Very entertaining. 2 episodes available on Prime with new releases every Thursday.

Concept. 1000 contestants have to survive various rounds of challenges, bribes, team eliminations, mass eliminations based on 1 person’s decision, etc. Hard to completely explain.

Good stuff. I’m already pissed I have to wait a week for episode 3.

Oh, and the winner takes home $5M.

Glad Ty Thompson didn't end up at Iowa.

He's a really bad passer.

don’t just clear the windows, do the hood and roof too. Nothing more infuriating than driving at 75 mph getting pelted with ice/snow because you’re too ****ing lazy. If you can’t do this, stay off the roads.
