The title of that article is "Up to 8,000 US-bound migrants enter Guatemala from Honduras" but that's not where I got the image. I simply googled "illegal immigrant coming in under biden images" and , as you can see, it's one of dozens of photos that popped up. It didn't say it was in Guatemala. Nonetheless I'm sure you'll agree that the collection is indeed a dystopian hellscape.

So you were uncurious and incorrect in citing pictures that were over 1,000 miles away from the U.S. border.

How f-ing disingenuous can you possibly be?
I did a simple Google images search of your "evidence."

THOSE ARE PICTURES OF IMMIGRANTS ENTERING GUATEMALA FROM HONDURAS AFTER A HURRICANE. AND YOU STATED THAT'S "what our southern border looked like under Biden"

Those people were 1,125 miles from the nearest access point to the US Southern border.

Were they hoping to get from Guatemala to the US? I suppose that's entirely possible. Did they? Not so much and hell if you know.

ON3 acquires Rivals

Dang this is unfortunate but not surprising. Travis must be crushed. Just went he thought he won over all those who slandered his name from the former G&B crowd now the sites are merging. Maybe Travis can be a mod for On3 now. That would be funny.

Been nice having a freeboard but I guess now I will spend more time on the Reddit CBB and Purdue subs.

Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it. I know my reputation with the message boards over there and I honestly do not know what Alana, Brian, and tom think of me personally. I know Brian has said a few negative things in the past, but that was many moons ago. I have never been a member of their forum, so who knows.

Our contract with Rivals run through November 1, so hopefully we have more info before them.

He said that before he knew the staff was going to schedule 3 top 15 teams in the OOC and we lost 4-5 players to injuries or a sit out.

I could post for HOURS about all your stupid, false predictions that you've said on this board over the years of you following something you clearly hate - but I'm not going to waste my time because you're a mental headcase that desperately needs therapy.

OFF TOPIC An update on this Rivals/On3 thing

Travis Miller
So I have tired to dig up as much information as I can on what this Rivals/On3 things means for us going forward, especially for you subscribers. Here is what I know so far:

First, from a subscirbers' perspective, this is what Shannon Terry at Rivals had to say:

Login to view embedded media Login to view embedded media
The way I read that is members here at Rivals will soon be able to read the GBI content at On3 and vice versa. It also makes it sound like GBI and us will be separate entities, at least for now, unless we fall into that 5% over "overlapping fan sites".

Let's be honest about things here: We know that GBI is very well established. They have a couple decade head start on us with a lot more established connections to Purdue and the Lafayette area. I also recognize that many of you probably have subscriptions to both sites. Casey and Jace do a tremendous job with what we have, but between their corporate sponsorships with places like University Bookstore, their exclusive connection to the Boilermaker Alliance, and their conenctions with places like WLFI, they have an advantage over us. That's before you even consider that they have a three year head start with On3 already.

I have spoken with Alan over at GBI and he also does not know about what it means going forward between the two sites. He did say this morning that it is an "acquisition" of Rivals by On3, not a "merger" and "especially for the team sites".

Anything beyond that is mere speculation. This caught all of us by surprise and in looking at the Publisher board among other Rivals publishers, most of them know about as much as we do.

As publisher, my top priority is to make sure things work out for Casey and Jace. They have sacrificed a lot to bring the content you guys have, and this is their main gig for both of them. I do not have enough good things to say about their work and what they have done in a crowded environment.

For you subscribers, thank you for sticking around. We know the transition back in November 2022 was a wild one. I have seen the numbers. A lot of people left with GBI, but there are also a number of you that have stayed, and for that, I thank you. We recognize you have a lot of choices for content out there with GBI, 247, and Hammer & Rails over at SB Nation (whom I obviously have a soft spot for). Thank you for supporting the work Casey and Jace do.

As soon as we know any information going forward we will let you know.

The time to radically change it was years ago but it takes political courage - the kind that Bush 43, Obama and Biden (or whomever was in charge) didn't have.

This makes sense to those who think the US is being ripped off by other countries - and who think the US is dangerously vulnerable to a police state that is our biggest enemy.

17 Players have entered the portal since Wednesday.

Every year almost all the roster will be expendable as players will chase the money. Coaches will be recruiting players on the roster game after game as players will be upset about playing time and the like. Every year as it stands currently, teams will have to pay up to rent players for a year. Commitment among players and coaches has come and gone. People are now a fan of the uniform, because these pros will come and go like the wind.

Jaden to Memphis?

Russ Ford
If Memphis can get that much for him they'd be stupid not to make the deal. Morant is probably the most overrated player in the NBA. He's as soft as a feather pillow. Punch him in the mouth early and he'll disappear. He's a team chemistry killer. He'll never win a championship unless he manages to get on a team with several future hall of famers to carry the load.

Yea, they won 10 games, I’ll have a tough time sleeping being off 3-5 games, I did say maybe 15, they weren’t good, the year before they won 13 games, does it really matter? Look, there’s like 8 of us who care, heaven forbid I predicted a few extra wins. Last year you predicted Purdue’s men would choke like they usually do, they made the final game, I didn’t come out with a know it all this didn’t age well post. Look, I overestimated the team, figured a few more wins, it wasn’t like I was off by a mile.
