I was an active duty US Army officer for 28 years. Here is the Oath of Office taken by all military members:

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

Do you understand the word "domestic"? There are some woke assclowns who have been spreading childish lies that the Constitution prohibits using US troops within the US. It does not. Think about the Civil War for a couple of seconds.

There is nothing wrong with using US soldiers to protect our southern border from illegals. In fact, how would you prefer the 82nd Airborne spend its time: guarding our southern border or hanging around Fort Bragg playing war games and drinking beer?

Our teams don’t even have the worst situation. How much sense does it make to send Maryland’s tennis team (random example of a non-revenue generating sport) on 6-hour flights to Washington? If being a student-athlete was inconvenient before, the huge geographical gap of our current conference must be detrimental to classroom continuity.

This is something I said from the get-go. The revenue sport athletes get taken care of on the road with advisors and tutors and such. And the money is there. But like you said, this is horrendous for the non-revenue sports. An absolute joke.

Or if they are going to do it, spread it out a week.. We have a week break between UM and Indinia (I think) .. that would be a good rotation for going out west. Both on fridays no less.

Yes - or........play Ohio State as the second game of the three home games NEXT week......wouldn't the compression be more logical when no travel involved?

But, wait a minute, what am I thinking - looking for logic.......we know what drives thi$$$$.......and that's part of the price all these schools pay in exchange for what has become a multi-billion dollar business enterprise.

Only 1.7 more per game on avg so far. But hope he gets his legs ready for Michigan. (I expect he will)

That's a bit of a flawed way to look at it. Yes, he averaged 34 minutes last year and is averaging 35.8 minutes this year. But prior to the foul trouble last night, he had averaged 38 minutes over his previous 10 games with 6 of those 10 being 39 minutes or more. That's a lot to ask a 21 year old, especially when you throw in the trips to both coasts in the last couple of weeks.

Ohio State at Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

P
This offseason Purdue needs to bring in 1-2 portal kids, guessing a player or probably 2-3 leave out, even if they don’t Coach needs a big and maybe a back up PG for depth. This season has sort of been the Big 3 and occasionally a player or two stepping up, need more than that. Colvin and Heide have been disappointing so far this season.

Someone else mentioned how many minutes Braden has played this year and expressed concern. I mentioned that Matt doesn't see it as an issue, but Braden looked like it caught up with him last night. Maybe that was just an off game for Braden that didn't relate to fatigue from playing a ton of minutes and coming off of the West Coast road trip, but I'd be surprised if that were the case.

They had lapses , but the D wasn’t that bad. They allowed a streak shooter to “get his head up” and then he was just stepping back and firing away. Surprised after the first four threes Purdue didn’t double him, at least a soft double. They also forced OSU to use the full shot clock 4 times and they hit four buzzer beating threes. One of those nights. Started in the first half when a well guarded awkward shot for two banked in.

Very good points on them hitting 4 or 5 shot clock buzzer beaters. Like you said, one of those nights and gotta move on and get ready for the twin towers that has one who is a point center.

what rights does someone have who breaks our laws? Illegals shouldn't be afforded rights since they came here illegally.
Claiming asylum....Fine, go through the proper channels, you might just not be able to get a free ride here while awaiting to go through the process.

Yeah don’t understand why the quick turnaround for the west coast games but now there’s a week gap between Michigan and IU? IU has a lot of days off between the game before they come to Mackey.

Scheduling is weird haha

Smith has to hit the rim on the intentional miss to at least give them a chance to get the rebound.

Easier said than done 😂
He was trying to go quick to catch OSU off guard.

If he had hit two more regular shots or we don’t allow Thornton to hit a wide open 3 at the end of the first half, things could have been different. Also, had he not picked up a silly 2nd foul, we may have been able to extend the lead even more in first half…him and TKR were gettin WHATEVER they wanted on the PnR.

I fear that they are exhausted from the west coast trip and only having 2 days in between these games is gonna make it worse. It’s time for the big 3 to step up and push the rest of the team to produce. It’s also time for Smith to get everyone involved on offense.
Click to expand...
I couldn't agree more. It looked to me like when they arrived in Washington that they were already tired. How many shots hit the front of the rim there? Oregon was better but after those 2 tough games we returned even more worn out. Playing anybody on a regular basis on the west coast is a bad idea.
