Why don't Southerners speak right? I heard Ryan McGee bust the off again on Marty and McGee this morning. If you are saying, "y'all", why throw "all", in front of that?

Last year was supposed to be the year the Iowa offense finally broke out of its putrid state to become at least respectable and average. As it turned out, the Iowa punt team put out 1,000 more total yards than the Iowa offense did.

Pathetic.

Yeah, yeah, we all know and don’t need to beat this same dead horse. So, in the interest of stoking preseason hopes yet again, I’m going to throw out some 2023 numbers and ask for your 2024 predictions and why you threw out the numbers you did. Here it goes:

2023
Total yards: 3,284
Total passing yards: 1,661
Total rushing yards: 1,623
Average yards play: 3.9
Average yards game: 234.6
Total offensive touchdowns: 20
3rd down conversion: 29.4%
Total sacks/lost yardage: 33—173
Total points scored: 216
Average scoring: 15.43

My 2024 predictions:

Total yards: 4,150
Total passing yards: 2,150
Total rushing yards: 2,000
Average yards play: 4.4
Average yards game: 320
Total offensive touchdowns: 35
3rd down conversion: 35%
Total sacks/lost yardage: 20-120
Total points scored: 325
Average scoring: 25.0

Yeah, I think we hit the 25 points/game mark this year. Yeah, I think every statistical category will improve to about average. Call it the Lester effect.

If those numbers prove to be close to reality, what will Iowa’s win total be?

The guest is Iowa’s state climatologist. Really a great origram and fast moving half hour. He’s a guest almost every year. He has some interesting observations about (changing) Iowa weather that will affect all of us and affect many Iowa construction/building industries.
It’s well worth the watch.
Damn science… damn numbers.

The most prominent white nationalists in the US backed biden in 2020 citing his policies being in line with their thinking vs the "collectivist" ideologies of Donald Trump. Does Spencer and his following once again side with the democrats in 2024? Does biden's obviois mental decline deter them or does stuff like that even matter to the Richard Spencers/Robert Byrds/Menace sockeye's of the world? (I'm guessing it doesn't myself)

Dave Stewart of the A's threw the first one that evening beating the Blue Jays 5-0 in Toronto.

Fernando Valenzuela threw the second one in Dodger Stadium beating the Cardinals 6-0. Pedro Guerrero grounded into a double play to end it.
Guerrero was Valenzuela's best friend when both were on the Dodgers together. It was a ESPN Friday night game. I stayed up and watched it the whole thing.
Great memories. Go Dodgers.

Pure gold …

In that regard, ^ what has Trump said/done that could possibly be any worse than a major political party [ideology] trotting out a candidate for the populace to freely believe their vote will go toward selecting said candidate to represent them in this 200+ year process, with absolutely ZERO intention of that candidate representing anyone if elected? To dumb that down a bit, did you leftists vote for jo to run the country, or did you vote for Anonymous to run the country? This bait and switch, is shitting on the very cornerstone of democracy, and we have been paying an enormous price for it.......and not just at the pump!

Was it even a thing this year? It did not seem like much.

Trump an easy winner. However, little change in who potential voters would select. (in this poll)

19 years old hasn’t played a day in majors. Sounds like 8 yrs 80 million guaranteed with a couple club options. Risky but he’s hit at every level while being 3 to 4 yrs younger than the league average.

Trump and Biden play blame game on inflation. Here’s what prices did under their watch.​

Massive government stimulus contributed to surge in prices

Trump apparently lied on 30+ occasions.

Anyone who defended Biden's mental fitness for the job should be ashamed of themselves.
It's time

I wish I could block individual keywords.

I'm pretty good about normally ignoring political threads, or at least avoiding getting sucked into them. It's pretty hard today though.

I wish I could block threads/posts based on individual words. In this case "trump" and "biden" would be a good start.

I'm going to grab some frosty beverages and retire to the pool for the remainder of the afternoon. Later bishes!!







(Yeah, that one's mostly for me!)

This guy has some fire... They aren't serious but if he really were Trump's VP I feel like their ads would be WWE style promos...
