@crimsonquarry Still think we have to ride this out through the BTT (if we qualify)?

[John M @Johnm_iu]

@B89Adam FB team wore crimson/block I, the baseball team wore red/different block I, MBB team wore red/another interlock IU and had yet another block I on the court, All the merchandise had the 3D IU that was never on uniforms. And the Hundred wore navy blue! 2002 reboot was much needed.

[John M @Johnm_iu]

@MeganRobertson Agreed. A vote against Gabbard would be better than nothing. Still, he's been a huge disappointment, and for no good reason. MAGA will never forgive him for his non-endorsement in 24.

[John M @Johnm_iu]

@MeganRobertson @MeghanMcCain @SenToddYoung @TulsiGabbard Eh, he voted for Hegseth and and is supporting RFK, let's not go overboard.

[John M @Johnm_iu]

@DrewSav Mine are coming down tomorrow. I leave them up through the epiphany and then take them down the first time weather allows. This year, that's this weekend because of a huge storm followed by deep freeze. But as long as they are up I leave them plugged in because they look nice.

[John M @Johnm_iu]

@mass_ave If 1/6 didn't split the GOP, nothing will. Trump is at his strongest with his party. Todd Young is regarded as not too bad yet he voted to Hegseth. He'll confirm RFK and Tulsi, too. Half of the electorate is either openly fascist or comfortable voting for a fascist. It sucks.

[John M @Johnm_iu]

@hoosiercommish Agreed, as long as there are five additional boxes of Samoas underneath that one.

[John M @Johnm_iu]

@kaitlin_lange @kayla_dwyer17 There is an inaccuracy here. The Disciplinary Commission didn't decide the case on 11-2-23, the Indiana Supreme Court did. And it's worth noting that the Court voted 3-2 to accept the agreement. Two justices concluding a reprimand wasn't sufficient punishment.

@jgerdom @IndyDPW @IndyMayorJoe Very good in spots (my hood included), so-so overall. As wide as the streets are, still plenty of resistance to adding lanes. One nice thing is that city residents get free access to Pacers Bikeshare, including pedal assist. Great for lunchtime errands without getting sweaty.

[John M @Johnm_iu]

Bang-up, job, @IndyDPW and @IndyMayorJoe. Over three weeks since the snowstorm and the Illinois Street bike lane remains completely blocked by a controller snow pile. This is hardly the only obstacle but it's the most egregious.

[John M @Johnm_iu]

@btownmoose Also odd to recycle visibility concerns when this was a case of a professional bus driver going the same direction as the bike turning in front of the bicyclist despite clear sight lines. You had one job, etc.

[John M @Johnm_iu]

@crimsonquarry This makes some sense, but I shudder to imagine senior night if we're at the kenpom projection of 7-12 or 8-11 in league. Also, the admin owes a duty to the current team, which has lots of talent and 14 wins! Woody has admitted he can't reach these guys. Maybe someone else can.

[John M @Johnm_iu]

@byelin Yep. I'm also coming around to the idea of aggressively primarying every Dem of every ideology who will be over 70 when the term ends.

[John M @Johnm_iu]

@daveweigel I think they will but there will be 2-4 votes against.

[John M @Johnm_iu]

@byelin Ugh, nevermind, he knuckled under on January 15 and I missed it.

[John M @Johnm_iu]

@byelin Todd Young has been conspicuously silent on Hegseth (as well as RFK/Tulsi). He is a USNA grad and Marine and has to know how bad this is. Depends on if he realizes yet that he's toast in the 2028 primary for being semi-apostate on Trump.

[John M @Johnm_iu]

@VT_Ben

[John M @Johnm_iu]

@jgerdom Every time this guy opens his mouth it's a recruiting commercial for everyone else.

[John M @Johnm_iu]

@byelin In a couple of decades will we learn details of some meddling like Nixon in 68 or Reagan in 80? Or are Trump and Bibi so obviously aligned that they didn't have to say or do anything?

[John M @Johnm_iu]

@Israfil_Twitch In 1998 IU lost to Michigan by 48 followed by Illinois by 10 (Valentine game). In 09 lost to Illinois and OSU by a combined 55. In 10 to Minnesota and Wisconsin by 55. Other than those last two I didn't see any other back to back 20 point losses from 97 to present.
