If you're in the final round of Wheel of Fortune and you get RSTLNE automatically, what 3 consonants and vowel are you selecting?

Me? H, P, G, and A

Hey Hawks!!!

I am starting a new thread for the 2025 season. It looks like the first Black and Gold game was last Thursday and a close 4-3 Black Team win over the Gold Team.

There appeared to be some recruits at the football game yesterday. It may have been mostly (or all) of the 2025 verbals.

It appears Coach Prater has left Campbell and is not the head coach at Memphis. It looks like Tristan and Kat stayed at Campbell.

Still no official fall ball schedule on the website yet. Will post it when its on the website with any info on the spring schedule as tournaments start releasing information about their tournaments.

Go Hawks!!

Crazy end of half, good game

21-13 🐎

One of my favorite posters is Franisdaman. I agree with most of his takes. Sadly, I gotta put him on "the list" for spamming the board with his every thought.
I know I know, "but they're so lengthy". Well yeah, when you respond to yourself 75 times per attempt it takes on the look of something that it isn't.

Who have you got on your ignore list ??

Deplorable:

Congress revoked an additional $20 billion from the Internal Revenue Service last week when lawmakers averted a government shutdown, a cut that may undo many of President Joe Biden’s efforts to improve customer service at the tax agency and train fresh scrutiny on wealthy tax cheats.

Biden and congressional Democrats gave the IRS $80 billion in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, but Congress rescinded $20 billion as part of a 2023 budget deal. Shortly afterward, Republicans vowed they’d be back for more IRS cuts.

And because of the way lawmakers extended government funding into March, an additional $20 billion in cuts came automatically.
When Congress approved a stopgap funding bill, called a continuing resolution, all the existing policy from the previous fiscal year was carried forward unless new text was specifically added to the bill to change it. There was no language in the bill to undo last year’s cut, so it repeated in the new law.


Critics of the IRS were pleased.

“We obviously think the increased money from the [Inflation Reduction Act] for IRS agents was a declared shakedown on taxpayers to pay for Democrats’ spending,” said Michael Palicz, director of tax policy for the anti-tax group Americans for Tax Reform. “Republicans have taken a huge chunk out of this before, and we have a chance to do that again.”
But Biden administration officials said the additional cuts would add $140 billion to the national debt over the next decade by hamstringing the agency’s ability to audit wealthy individuals and large corporations.
The agency will conduct 400 fewer audits of major businesses each year, Biden administration officials said, and 1,200 fewer audits of high-income individuals.

More cuts would also force the IRS to dramatically reduce customer service for taxpayers, Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said last month. By 2026, the IRS would have enough resources to answer only two of every 10 phone calls to customer helplines, and wait times would increase to 28 minutes on average.

“Not only would you be in a position where we don’t have the money to go after the people who are trying to deliberately cheat and not pay their taxes, but we also wouldn’t have the resources to help the people who are trying to pay their taxes and make it more efficient,” Adeyemo said.

The new money from the Inflation Reduction Act funding vastly improved the IRS’s operations, according to the agency’s inspector general. Before the additional resources kicked in, the agency had a mountain of 24 million backlogged paper tax returns; within a year of receiving the funding boost, that was almost eradicated, the agency reported.

In the 2022 filing season, months before Congress approved the law, only 10 percent of taxpayer phone calls were ever connected to a live representative — if callers stayed on the line through sometimes hours-long waits. The IRS now answers more than 85 percent of taxpayer calls with a wait of less than three minutes, Adeyemo said.

Emily Joyce Hinojosa, 38, was sentenced to five years of felony probation. She was also ordered to pay the money back to the people who contributed to her fundraiser.

I see a lot of Grinches on here complaining about Christmas being on a Wednesday. Dafuq? That means we have an entire "Christmas Week" and then "New Year's Week". If Christmas is on a Friday our overlords will want us slaving for four days. But this week? The parking lot is empty.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

The Grinch and Max were arrested today.

Between the QBs we know who will be in the spring and all the talk around Beau Pribula, curious what everyone thinks.

Bill Belichick, the legendary NFL coach who parted ways with the New England Patriots in January after 24 seasons and six Super Bowl victories, has had discussions with the University of North Carolina about its coaching job, three people with knowledge of the deliberations confirmed.

It’s unclear how serious the interest between Belichick, who has been out of coaching and working in broadcasting this season, and North Carolina is. Some Belichick associates remain convinced that he is intent upon returning to an NFL sideline next season.

North Carolina is seeking a successor to Mack Brown after firing him last week. According to one of the people familiar with the discussions, Belichick is among several candidates who have spoken to school officials in informal conversations conducted virtually. The school’s search has not yet progressed to formal interviews, according to that person.



Two other people confirmed Belichick’s talks with the school but expressed skepticism that the discussions will lead to him accepting the Tar Heels job, given their belief that Belichick hopes to coach in the NFL in 2025.

Belichick will turn 73 in April. He interviewed twice with the Atlanta Falcons last offseason after parting with the Patriots and spoke with the Washington Commanders. But the Falcons hired Raheem Morris. The Commanders hired Dan Quinn. And Belichick, perhaps the greatest coach in league history, was shut out in the NFL hiring cycle.

He could be in greater demand this offseason. Three NFL teams have already fired their coaches: the New York Jets, New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears. Several other coaches, including the Dallas Cowboys’ Mike McCarthy and the Jacksonville Jaguars’ Doug Pederson, have been under intense scrutiny while their teams have struggled. McCarthy’s contract expires after the season, although the Cowboys have won two straight games and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has said he is not ruling out the possibility of retaining McCarthy.


New York Giants co-owner John Mara has said that he intends to be more patient and does not plan to fire Coach Brian Daboll or General Manager Joe Schoen either during the season or after it. But the Giants’ ongoing issues have led to speculation that a change still could be made. Belichick probably would be a strong candidate for the Jaguars, Cowboys and Giants if they have head coaching vacancies, and he also could be considered by the Bears.
Belichick has 333 coaching victories in the NFL, counting the postseason, putting him 14 shy of Don Shula’s career record of 347. His 302 regular season wins put him 26 behind Shula’s 328. If he takes a college coaching job, Belichick probably will be passing up the opportunity to catch Shula.

The Patriots went 4-13 in 2023 in Belichick’s final season. They went 29-38 and made the playoffs only once in Belichick’s last four seasons after quarterback Tom Brady left the team via free agency following the 2019 season.


Belichick has never coached at the college level. His father, Steve, was a longtime assistant coach at Navy.
The Tar Heels went 6-6 this season. Their interim coach is Freddie Kitchens, the former coach of the Cleveland Browns. Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, the former coach of the Falcons, is a North Carolina alum and also has been linked to the job. Smith has said that the school contacted him in what he termed a preliminary call, adding that the job is not his focus and he’s happy in Pittsburgh.
North Carolina went 44-33 under Brown since 2019.
