You have some kind of cognitive decline? I'm making no judgements on whether it's good or bad for children. That's not the point. You don't get to decide what's good or bad for my children. Keep your religion to yourself.

Cut your BS. Never said anything of the kind.

Teach your kids about and let them read your Bible at church or at home or in the village square or on the top of the mountain. You don't get to do it in the schools. Not all the children believe in what you believe.

Oh.......and it violates the establishment clause in the first amendment.

My other question about Bibles in the public schools is are the Bibles available for the students to read it on their own. Or is some teacher going to teach the students topics from the Bible. There are a lot of false pastors from various churches out there alone teaching jacked up doctrine. How is some teacher with no theology training going to teach proper religious doctrine?

I agree for a team like Purdue…but if you’re a Texas, UGA, Ohio State, etc. and they’ll let you in with 1-2 losses and a meh OOC schedule every year…why wouldn’t you just do that?

If IU loses say by 10 and still gets in…why wouldn’t they continue to schedule the sisters of the blind forever? No consequences for scheduling 3 auto wins. I’d immediately do the same.

They had a piece on Franklin from UWisc and her struggles with needing a surgery to save her right arm over the summer. One of the people they interviewed was Brittany Dildine, a 4 year volleyball walkon at Purdue and played a year of basketball when we were shorthanded. I used to work with her father, who was always the proud papa.

Dildine has had a nice career coaching at Wisconsin. Wonder if she would be a possible successor to Shondell once he retires?

If IU loses by 20 I'm shredding my team because that's bad and I see no positive light to be found.

Click to expand...

You shredding your team for barely beating UNC Greensboro? Refs helped quite a bit when it was 40 to 40.

I expect a lot of feeding the ball inside to TKR, for him to then decide to shoot or kick out. TKR with 25+ points.

After going on that magical Final Four run, Shaka coached teams went 12 straight years (including 6 with Texas and 2 with Marquette) never reaching the second weekend. That finally ended last year with wins over 2 double digit seeds.

Prior to those two wins last year, Shaka had 1 NCAA tournament win in 8 seasons as a P5 head coach. In 9 years as a P5 head coach, his only NCAA wins are over two 15 seed and a 10 seed.

For someone so focused on the NCAA tournament, you sure seem to not be doing your homework here.

True Shaka NCAA performance pales in comparison to Matt’s

Boiler79 said:

Yep, and it's frustrating that 2 of our most athletic perimeter players ( Colvin / Heide ) aren't capable of taking a game over for us in that spot. I can understand Cox and Harris struggling, but Colvin is a headscratcher to me. Is he basically just a 3 point shooter who can throw down electrifying dunks when he has an open path to the rim?

You summed that up !!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like that horse has been beaten to death. Painter had a historically bad 4 year tourney run until last year. Shaka, while not having an impressive tourney resume either, has the same number of FFs.

But...he and Painter do have the same number of FF appearances and until last year at least, Painter had some embarrassing tourney flops.

shaka,s NCAA history does not compare to Matt’s. Not close

What would make you think that?

We know he doesn't have head coaching experience. Is he the one bringing in some of our bigger recruits? Can he get the university to open up the NIL purses?

goboilers2 said:

I will. (Because, yes, I am a little envious of their football hire)

Interesting point made yesterday about the IU v OSU game. The point was that if OSU wins, IU should NOT be awarded a playoff slot.

The reasoning is the strength of schedule. The IU preseason is the weakest of the ranked teams. The second point that caught my eye is that IU has not played any Big Ten team in the upper half of the conference, although Washington cracked that ceiling at 4-3/6-5. Normally Michigan would be there, but not this year.

At this point Washington is their only foe with a winning record.

Are they better than Purdue? Absolutely, but that is not my point. We might have 4 wins with their schedule.

Overall, the B10 has been a big disappointment this season. Outside of the top 4 teams, there has been a big drop off. Teams that are typically good (Mich, MSU, Wisc, Nebr, Iowa, USC and Wash) are all having a down year. Purdue, NW and UCLA are all atrocious.

IU has had a very fortunate season in playing many of these teams and playing the worse of them on the road. This saturday will be the first time they will play a ranked team and in a very hostile environment.

I think there are teams from other conferences that will have a stronger resume to get into the playoffs.

Hopefully they spent time in prayer and seen the light

Yes on all and agree on Furst being first 5. Berg come in midway for some banging and breather

TKR good spell at 5 with Heide slama jama at 4, rebounder deluxe

The Catholic Bible is similar to KJV, isn't it, so how could it be totally inaccurate?

Click to expand...

Oh no. I went to a Catholic high school and was astonished on many differences between Catholicism and the Protestant churches I grew up going to. The Catholic Bible has 73 books. The Protestant Bibles including the KJV has 66.

One inaccuracy that I would mention is the Ten Commandments. In the KJV, the second commandment is “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.”.

In the Catholic Bible the second commandment is "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain”. Which is actually the third commandment in the KJV. Since the Catholics removed the real 2nd commandment they broke up the tenth commandment into two. Covet thy neighbor’s wife and covet that neighbor’s goods.

I think we will see a much more focused and deliberate group on Saturday. Ball control and movement will likely be better as the offense works to move the ball more while also cutting down on the turnovers.

The big three will step up and I could see Braden taking over in this one. If you wanted to predict a triple double, this one would be my pick.

I don’t know if Paint will change the lineup or not but I could see Furst getting the nod at the five.

Harris and Cox need to make sure they are aggressive on offense as we need them to give us something every game. Same goes for Heide and Colvin. It’s just a matter of time before Colvin gives us a double double the way he has been playing D and rebounding.

Overall I predict we slow it down a bit from Tuesday night and really, really focus on cutting the turnovers, rebounding the ball, especially on the defensive end and keeping the opponent out of the paint.

I believe Linda Darnell acted as the love interest to several Hollywood Stars. They were later annoyed when they found out she was only 15. Gaetz broke off with the 17-year-old when he found out her age. However, the ongoing research shows there was no case.

I agree that the military-industrial complex and globalist corporations fund the PACs that choose who to run for President and tell the Swamp politicians how to vote. The way to stop the corruption is to outlaw insider trading, tell them they can't own the media, have Vivek and Elon expose the pork, and investigate all Swamp creatures living outside their means.

The very fact that Matt has attacked those who were a cancer should be the reason everyone, whether R or D, should be excited about the prospect of curtailing the graft and corruption in DC. I can give a rat's behind whether they are prosecuted. Just curtail it!!!

This reminds me of the idiocy of the so-called journalists who kept asking Trump if he wants Ukraine to win the war. Trump kept saying that he wants to end the war and stop the killing.

They are a good team. Probably not deserving of a playoff spot though without a top 25 win.

A win over a 7-8 win P4 team in their OOC would have helped them immensely here.

Just an update for folks who may be interested. Zach Edey has been out the last couple of games with an ankle sprain from a game last week with Denver.

Login to view embedded media
Predictably, Mr. Green is trying to parlay it.....what a maroon.....

From an excerpt via si.com:

"Edey has not played for the Grizzlies since November 17 against the Denver Nuggets, where he put up 7 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks in only 14 minutes. It would have been fascinating to see how he handles a center like Embiid, but the matchup will unfortunately have to wait.

This week, Edey was caught catching strays from Draymond Green calling him soft. Green specifically cited that Embiid would play extra physical against Edey.

"He's big enough to possibly have fooled people that he could be a little tough, and now nobody believe you," Green said. "Now Joel Embiid gonna like try to put his chest into the stanchion just to see... Ya'll gotta stop breeding these soft dudes man. Stop making these guys turn out to be snitches and soft and going to tell, because you are a big man!"

So apparently Green a supporter of eugenics and doesn't believe in truthfulness. That tracks.
