@Caleb_44cobbs @oldfalsash @HappelCael So just because “God” knows my secrets and forgives people means that this kid gets to be rewarded after sexually assaulting another kid?

[Eric Miller @SyrupSandwichz]

This is absolutely unreal.

Update on the sports gambling investigation that rocked Iowa and ISU Athletics.

Attorney Van Plumb is requesting that the State provide requested discovery as well as additional discovery after the deposition of DCI Special Agents on 1/19/24.

The motion filed today lays out how the attorney alleged the investigation began:

“The State’s argument that “DCI agents began to identify irregular online/mobile sports wagering activity originating from state organizations that regularly participate in sanctioned sports wagering contests” was actually the result of Special Agent Brian Sanger conducting a warrantless search on Iowa and Iowa State’s campuses.  Special Agent Brian Sanger was given access to a tool that can invade people’s privacy. He initially used Kibana to place a warrantless GeoFence around a freshman/sophomore dorm at the University of Iowa to investigate underage gambling without any tips, complaints, or evidence that underage gambling was occurring.  The use of Kibana allowed him to see that online betting applications were opened in the dorms but the software did not allow him to determine if bets were actually being made. The other information he was able to see was the account numbers associated with the applications which did not contain identifying information about who was using the account. Special Agent Sanger approached his superior Troy Nelson and Assistant DCI Director Jobes to ask for permission to continue the investigation. He was told no.

“Special Agent Sanger then decided to target an athletic facility at the University of Iowa because it was a stand-alone facility with restricted access to athletes, coaching staff and support personal. Again, this was done without a warrant, tips, complaints, or evidence that illegal gambling was occurring.  

“Special Agent Sanger identified the same information he had in relation to the dorm. He consulted his team of Heather Dunow, Phil Kennedy, Chris Atkins, and Chris Swigart to discuss continuing the investigation and again approached Special Agent Troy Nelson and Assistant Director Jobes who gave him the green light to continue the investigation.  
“Without reasonable cause the team of Special Agents targeted more facilities as well as began requesting subpoenas to obtain account information on hundreds of private citizens private information which was also without reasonable cause.  

“The result was the indictment of a handful of Iowa’s Student Athletes even though the privacy of hundreds had been invaded.    
“During Special Agent Sanger’s deposition on January 19, 2024, he stated that he cannot remember why he decided to conduct the warrantless searches but that he was concerned about things such as people infiltrating Iowa’s sports team to gain insider information or match fixing.

“Special Agent Sanger also stated that only those Athletes that had used an account registered to a different person were charged and that those who had gambled in an account in their names were handled administratively. The Defense has received information that indicates this is not true and that in fact, there is a possibility that only high-profile athletes were targeted when charges were filed in the fall of 2023.”

@BreannaMorello Bruh who cares. All you pro-capitalist conservatives will support them when they’re anti-LGBTQIA+ and anti-women’s choice/rights, but the second they want to be less racist you all jump ship? Bunch of cancel culture ❄️

@tflory19 Sorry for the delayed response. There wasn’t enough beer in Iowa City to help me forget yesterday’s game 😅 Campbell deserves the win

A 20 team Big Ten is interesting. Looking like an all conference schedule is the new direction.

[Brett McMurphy @Brett_McMurphy]

Big Ten’s Kevin Warren tells @RealSportsHBO he sees Big Ten having 20 members & paying players. “Those (paying players) are things we have to resolve. We have to. So I want to be part of this conversation & will be part of this conversation of what we can do to make this better”

[Eric Miller @SyrupSandwichz]

@jondmiller happy for you! Appreciate all the commentary you have. Both in the sports and social/political realm. Looking forward to your next phase!

This man @wongbd is 61 years old. Can we please find out his secret? How does he still look under 35?!

Whenever I hear the song “Use Somebody” by Kings of Leon I imagine its Nigel Thornberry from the Wild Thornberry’s and now I can’t stop hearing it.

There’s nothing scarier than watching “One Hour of Silence Randomly Interrupted by the Taco Bell Noise” and awaiting the first ring of that devious bell.

@djparker As the writer/director of Old Rugged Cross, can you provide an explanation of why Luke Wolf Jr. was not held accountable for (and confessing to) molesting a 15 year old girl?

[Eric Miller @SyrupSandwichz]

@djparker @RicciGeri Except when they are doctors of evolutionary science, such as Professor Tucker in Gramps Goes to College. Right?

[Eric Miller @SyrupSandwichz]

@djparker @wacmm Couldn’t tell which was worse. This movie or your take on fluoride in Gramps Goes to College.

[Eric Miller @SyrupSandwichz]

@djparker Does one usually praise God by imitating a prophet, like how you did in Old Rugged Cross?
