He's carved out a respectable career, especially given that Miami and FSU are two places where basketball isn't exactly king.

Had some really good battles with Purdue in the Big Ten/ACC challenge.

Hamilton was ACC Coach of the Year three times ('09, '12, and '20) and winningest coach in program history.

They had a great run as a #9-seed in 2018 NCAA Tournament losing a tight one to Michigan in the West Regional Final.

Good coach, good guy, well-respected - his teams were usually athletic, tough, and physical and always battled for 40 minutes. I liked him.

Trump bans the racist, hate-mongering Critical Race Theory from public K-12 classrooms

BNI, you said "How are you going to ban something that’s not taught in K-12?"

If it's not being taught in K-12, then you should have no problem whatsoever with Trump banning it in K-12, right?

Since 6 or 8 years ago when the banning of so-called CRT first came to the forefront, school districts were banning anything that had to do with learning black history in schools.

With removing DEI and now banning CRT in K-12, which will actually be banning specific topics of black history, most blacks feel this is overt racism and it is. This is what I’ve been saying all along. The Republican Party since the 60s have a horrible record when it comes to civil rights.

Turning over an old leaf

Born Boiler
A timeout during indinia’s visit to Mackey drew everyone’s attention to the video boards for a vintage episode of “Ask An Expert,” where Isaac Haas demonstrated the proper technique for removing leaves from a clogged roof gutter, putting on a glove and handily reaching up … while standing flat-footed on the ground.

Haas quickly added it works even better when done with a friend, and a smiling A.J. Hammons appeared alongside making the same reach.

That was the cue for reintroducing everyone to the two 7-footers, two-time teammates, among several basketball alumni who made homecomings and appeared at the nationally televised game.

Next to Caleb Furst’s long-playing series as “Buddy the Elf,” the leaf guards stand as one of Purdue’s best self-promotions. A tip ’o the Boilermaker helmet to the promo folks, old and new.

As predictable as humanly possible.

  1. Trump promises "he'll fix it."
  2. Trump doesn't fix it.
  3. Trump lies to show that he fixed it.
  4. Trump's lemmings fall for it.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency under the Trump administration has been pushing old press releases into Google searches by updating their timestamps in order to “game” Google’s search results to create the appearance of a wave of mass deportations, reported The Guardian on Thursday.


The report tech reporter Dara Kerr cited “thousands of press releases about decade-old enforcement actions” that had topped Google’s search results pages after President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Kerr wrote:



She goes on to explain, however, that once a reader takes a closer look at each result on the Ice.gov website they will see that very few of those arrests are recent. The report continued:

Border Chief Homan Says Raid on Tren de Aragua Gang Was Leaked, Vows Accountability​

Homan said his team has identified the source of the leak.

Border czar Tom Homan promised on Feb. 6 to find those responsible for leaking the details of a raid targeting members of the Tren de Aragua (TDA) gang and hold them accountable.

“This isn’t a game,” Homan told reporters outside the White House. “When operations get leaked like that, it puts our officers at great risk.”

The Venezuelan gang has become increasingly active in the United States amid a years-long surge in illegal immigrants crossing the southern border. It is one of several high-threat groups the Trump administration has prioritized for deportation.

“We know that TDA is dangerous. Everybody can agree to that,” Homan said. “But when they get a heads up that we are coming, it’s only a matter of time before our officers are ambushed.

“Their job is dangerous enough, so we are going to address this very seriously.”

The raid in question took place on Feb. 5 in Colorado. Before approaching the gaggle of reporters, Homan told Fox News that his team had already identified the source of the leak, which is not the first to hinder the border czar’s operations.

Before President Donald Trump’s inauguration, Homan’s plans for immigration enforcement in Chicago were leaked, prompting him to change things up.

Homan suggested that future media access to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) could be limited if the leaks continue.

“Look, I said from day one, we want to be transparent with the American people,” he said. “We’ve invited numerous media outlets along, but right now, it’s all about operational security.

“So we may have to stop the media ride-alongs because—I’m not pointing the finger at them—but the less people that know about these operations, the safer it is for our agents.”

Trump tapped Homan to spearhead from outside the Department of Homeland Security the massive deportation operation he promised to voters. Homan’s office is housed within the White House and reports directly to Trump.

When asked about reports that ICE is releasing some detainees, Homan said he intends to investigate the matter.


“I was made aware of that this morning, and I will address that today, but I’ve been told that some were released because of some health concerns that we could not handle within ICE detention,” he said.

“So I have a meeting with ICE leadership today to find out exactly who was released and why, but the president made it clear we’re ending catch-and-release.”

Homan said roughly 11,000 illegal immigrants have been arrested since Trump took office on Jan. 20. That figure, he added, will go up as the leaks and public safety threats are addressed.

“As the aperture opens up beyond criminals, you’re going to see more arrests,” he said. “I’ve made it clear that if you’re in the country illegally, you’re not off the table.”
