Did the Juco DB Iowa was in on sign today? If not is Iowa still in contention if signing in the spring?

I didn't see anyone post a thread.

I had Gameday on this AM. Feels like now they are just screwing with these kids kicking a FG for $. Everyone dumped $200k in, then doubled down. Guy this AM was kicking for $1.2 M. And he missed wide left.

I wonder how the taxes would work on that.

The entire 4 years? That would be glorious in and of itself!!

Harvey Weinstein has been indicted on additional sex crimes charges, Manhattan prosecutors said at a Thursday hearing, according to the Associated Press.
The indictment for the disgraced Hollywood producer remains under seal until Wednesday. The new charges come ahead of a retrial for Weinstein, after a previous rape conviction collapsed this year.


Prosecutors said last week that they started presenting evidence to a grand jury that included up to three additional allegations against Weinstein, AP reported.

Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction was overturned in April by the New York Court of Appeals, reversing a case that helped launch the #MeToo movement, and outraging sexual violence survivors.

Weinstein was originally sentenced to 23 years in prison in the New York trial. He was convicted of forcibly performing oral sex on a former production assistant, Mimi Haleyi, at his apartment in 2006; and of rape in the third degree for an attack on aspiring actress Jessica Mann at a hotel in 2013.

But in a 4-3 split decision, a majority of the appellate judges concluded that the trial court erroneously allowed other women to testify about Weinstein’s alleged pattern of abuse, even though he was not being prosecuted for crimes against those witnesses.

“We conclude that the trial court erroneously admitted testimony of uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts against persons other than the complainants of the underlying crimes,” associate judge Jenny Rivera wrote in the ruling.

Weinstein, 72, has remained in prison since the reversal, because he also faces a 16-year sentence in a separate case in California, where he was convicted in 2022 of rape, forced oral copulation and sexual misconduct.
British prosecutors discontinued indecent assault charges from 2022 against Weinstein last week, after determining there was “no longer a realistic prospect of conviction,” according to a news release from Frank Ferguson, head of the Crown Prosecution Service Special Crime and Counter Terrorism Division.
The movie mogul is still at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan recovering from heart surgery he underwent earlier this week, Weinstein’s spokesman Juda Engelmayer said.

The state of Arizona was officially called for Donald Trump Saturday evening, marking the final state to be declared by the AP.

With Arizona, Trump now officially captured all seven swing states this cycle: Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Aside from North Carolina, each flipped from Joe Biden in 2020 to Donald Trump this time around.

Biden overcame Trump in Arizona by less than half of a point in 2020 (less than 11,000 votes), becoming only the second Democrat in over 70 years to win the state.

At around 9:30 PM ET last night, when the AP called the race, Trump was leading Harris by nearly six points, amounting to about 185,000 votes. The president-elect was also leading the vice president in Maricopa County – where Joe Biden defeated Trump by two points in 2020 – by five points.

The Grand Canyon State’s 11 electoral votes bring Trump’s total to 312, eclipsing both his 2016 victory and President Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign.

Arizona still finds itself locked in a tight Senate battle between Republican Kari Lake and Democrat Ruben Gallego. The latter appears to be running ahead.

“While Trump won Arizona on Saturday, the race for U.S. Senate remains too early to call,” the AP reported. “Gallego’s margin over Lake improved slightly on Saturday, but he didn’t win the vote updates released by county election officials by enough of a margin to close off Lake’s path to victory.”

“But it’s a narrowing one with several hundred thousand ballots still left to count and more updates expected Sunday.”

"Now even the FBI and CISA, the US cyber defense agency, are warning Americans to use responsibly encrypted messaging and phone calls where they can. The backdrop is the Chinese hacking of US networks that is reportedly “ongoing and likely larger in scale than previously understood.” Fully encrypted comms is the best defense against this compromise, and Americans are being urged to use that wherever possible."

Does this mean using text message based two factor authentication is a bad idea now?

Darn, darn, darn. Enough said.

Every single person who voted for Trump was against Lia Thomas beating girls . They are against men in girls locker rooms. They actually have daughters they want to protect. Anyone who supported this lost. It's insane that liberal kamilia supporters are for men in women's sports.

Absolutely loving this. Not so much for the boys on ISU. But for Jamie, Matt and.all Isu fans!

I've heard/seen a mixture of Iowa playing in the Duke's Mayo Bowl in Charlotte, NC (Jan 3), ReliaQuest Bowl in Tampa, FL (Dec 31), or the Music City Bowl in Nashville, TN (Dec 30).

If it's Mayo,
Clemson

If it's ReliaQuest, one of
South Carolina
Ole Miss
Alabama

If Music City,
LSU
Missouri

Was in the other book thread, and @cubsMDdmb 's comment about The Dead Zone made me curious. What other books might I need to pick up and add to the stack of need to read. Also, why is it your favorite?

My single favorite of all time is Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. It has been made into several moderately successfull mini-series, but never as good as the book IMO.

What I like about it..... From a character perspective, it is multi generational story that COULD be real, and has some ties to the real world as it is historical fiction. The characters are well defined and I love the struggle success, failure and then build back to a success. It is very relatable and the "bad guys" win. A lot. The Kingsbridge collection is great, but this book stands above for me. I own 2 different copies and have probably read it 5+ times throughout the years.

Not sure what everyone’s take on this podcast but does Kevin Ward carry the biggest negative attitude or what? Just an arrogant dude that has nothing to be arrogant about. It’s a good show and I like it but this dude just drags the entire show to the drain.

For getting their asses kicked.
Congrats to the local media for gargling Ferentz and Campbell scrotal sacks.
Kudos.

This is so perfect.

Huge W for the guys over at the Flight Crew for making these. This one was by far the best. A great send off for the seniors. Plus, there's nothing like beating little brother bugeaters!

A wind is blowing from the east

Former President Donald J. Trump and Senator JD Vance of Ohio are stopping today in two crucial battleground states: Mr. Trump in North Carolina, a state he won by a single percentage point in 2020, and Mr. Vance in Michigan, which Mr. Trump carried in 2016 but lost four years later. The Republicans are hoping to take back some of the momentum Vice President Kamala Harris has swiftly gained since becoming the Democrats’ nominee.

New polling from the Cook Political Report reflected the energy around Ms. Harris, showing her leading Mr. Trump slightly or tied among likely voters in six of the seven battlegrounds polled — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Ms. Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, also picked up the endorsement of the Teamsters union’s Black caucus, though its parent union has remained silent.

Here’s what else to know:

• On the trail: Mr. Trump is set to appear at a campaign event in Asheville, N.C., while Mr. Vance attended a small rally in Byron Center, Mich., just south of Grand Rapids. Mr. Walz continues his swing of solo campaign appearances with fund-raisers in Denver and Boston. Ms. Harris is scheduled to deliver an economy-focused speech on Friday in Raleigh, N.C., and she and Mr. Walz will campaign in Pittsburgh and western Pennsylvania on Sunday, the day before the Democratic National Convention kicks off.
• Poll shows a shift: The new Cook poll was a marked change from the same surveys in May that showed Mr. Trump leading by a solid margin or tied across seven swing states. In the latest polling, he maintained a slim margin in just one: Nevada. The reversal in North Carolina is particularly stark — Mr. Trump held one of his largest leads there in May, and the candidates are now neck-and-neck.
• Fall races set: A pair of prominent primaries were held on Tuesday. Representative Ilhan Omar, a progressive lightning rod, won the primary for her Minnesota seat. In Wisconsin, Eric Hovde, a wealthy businessman endorsed by Donald Trump, won the G.O.P. contest to challenge Senator Tammy Baldwin, the Democratic incumbent.
• Union cries foul on Trump and Musk: The United Automobile Workers union filed charges with federal labor regulators accusing Mr. Trump and Mr. Musk, in their livestream this week, of voicing support for the practice of firing workers when they go on strike.
• Doubling up: With Democrats gathering in Chicago for their nominating convention next week, the Harris campaign is planning for Ms. Harris and Mr. Walz to also hold a rally in Milwaukee — the same city where Republicans held their convention last month.
• Arizona abortion measure: A proposal to establish a right to abortion in Arizona’s Constitution will be on the ballot in November — and it could influence turnout in the battleground state. Democrats have leveraged unhappiness about the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade into gains in elections up and down the ballot over the last two years, but Republicans are betting that they can also use ballot questions to drive turnout in their favor in Arizona.
• Reaching out: Mr. Trump plans to meet with Miriam Adelson, the widow of the casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, after his aide sent her angry texts in his name. The messages accused her of having “RINOs” — meaning, Republicans in name only — running a super PAC, and that her late husband never would have tolerated it.

anyone know if we are talking about a long absence ?
