How are there not 5 threads on the front page spreading conspiracy theories about this? Or maybe there is and this is a Pepsi. I kind of hope it is actually, otherwise accusations of people losing their touch will start to creep in.

Anyway, I'm sure this is totally legit but this is the exact kind of thing that if it had happened to a former Trump attorney the MAGAs would be talking about this like she was Epstein.

😂 😂 😂

That is perfect, love it.

“Last time I checked, you have the majority in the House and in the Senate. And you control the White House. The idea that somehow Democrats have the responsibility to pass a CR or any bill, quite frankly, where we don’t have any input on, I think is is ridiculous. I mean, you run around bragging about this big mandate. Well, put on your mandate pants and pass whatever you wanna do.”

If you know which non-USA nameplates are mostly are entirely made overseas, please post that info here. Are KIA and Nissan made overseas? I think a lot of Fords are made in Mexico so are they going to be tariffed?

But of course any imported engines and transmissions, big dollar parts, are going to be tariffed. A imported new cars will be tariffed.

So the price to buy one of those cars is going way up and people probably wont buy nearly as many. And probably the number of those cars will decrease.

Lowered overall supply will make US automakers raise their prices while they are working on maybe making more new cars. But new car prices will go up because THEY CAN RAISE THE PRICES.

My gut says a good sized hurt on many American's pocketbooks.

How do you see this playing out?

We have five beds in our home. About three years ago she bought each bed a new fangled super duper mattress. Now she sez she is over them and out they are going to go, all five of them. She tells me the new ones are "self cooling" will have a ten year warranty....which leads me to this question - how often do you guys buy a new mattress?

We lost our St. Augustine backyard to take all root rot and are wanting to put in Zoysia. Trying to decide if I should pay someone to do it, or just do it myself. Appreciate any advice.

I just heard a sleep doctor on the news say we should replace our pillow every 2 years.

I bought mine in October of 2021. I just ordered a new replacement.

CSB.

I want to preface this with the fact that I haven't bothered to sift through EVERY SINGLE ONE of the hundreds of individuals threads and thousands of posts, by now, talking about whether Fran will be fired and why he will or won't...........

But one reason I think Iowa might choose to let Fran stay, that people are failing to really talk about..................is whether or not Iowa feels they can get the head coach THEY would want if they do let Fran go.

I guarantee you Iowa is not going to just blindly fire Fran and open the door for any and all takers, with the hopes they can land their guy, but are fine if they have to settle for their 8th, 9th, or even 20th option.

No, I think Iowa already has a short list of coaches they want to go after, and if they don't think they can land them, either because they just recently took new jobs like in the case of DeVries, or because they feel that other schools will outbid them, as potentially could be the case for a coach like McCollum and the growing interest that Indiana has in him.........then I don't believe Iowa will just move on from Fran simply to give anyone else a chance.

If Iowa doesn't think they can land the coach they probably already have their sights on, why would they and why SHOULD they get rid of Fran?



P.S. and I will remain on record as saying that I want Fran gone, but I am looking at this from the University's/AD's perspective and what they're gonna potentially do.

This isn't just a "fear of the next coach being Todd Lickliter". The last thing the University wants to do is let go of Fran after 15 years just to settle and bring in a "bridge" coach.

And you can say "well do everything you can to lock up your guy. Don't let an Indiana buy out McCollum if that's who we want". But unfortunately the world doesn't work that way, and especially in Iowa's case, history tells us we don't always get what we want no matter how hard we try or how much we want it.

Just sayin.

Always watched and cheered every year, but deep down I always knew it'd be same old story. Its funny, every tournament post game interview players talk about defense, rebounding, hustle... its never we're just gonna outscore them, defense is optional... boggles the mind that that never got through Fran's thick skull. oh well, time to turn the page. who knows if BM is the answer but for the first time in a long time I'm excited!

I was probably as critical as anyone with respect to Mulvey his first few years with the program. He seemed perpetually lost and lacked the skills/physicality to play down low.

This year he's performed really well in limited minutes. He might be the best rebounder on a team that regularly gets crushed on the boards. I understand why he's not playing with Freeman because Fran wants offensive spacing for him down low. For the life of me I can't understand why he isn't the first guy off the bench backing up him up though.

Someone explain to me why he can't see the floor.

It gets worse.

Very interesting, inside-baseball stuff here.

A handful of fiefdoms have way too much power (this is true on the men's side and in football as well).

Officiating won't get better (any sport) unless you invest in improving officiating at the lower levels. Nobody is doing that.

It is great to be an Iowa Wrestling fan.

Go Hawks!

I'd like to compile a list:
- Personal information privacy
- Stock Market
- Inflation / price of eggs

What can I add?

Why doesn't Elon Musk start a website for fired federal workers that gives them 2 years salary out of his own pocket?

That seems fair considering they're getting fired for no fault of their own.

It may cost Elon $10 billion.

That's peanuts to him considering his net worth is $400 billion.

What do you think?
