What's everyone's predictions for:
1) overall record
2) BIG10 regular season finish (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc)
3) NCAA seed #

Feel free to include any (short) hot takes.

Let me hep you out little brother, if you really want to know..

1. Drill. Drilling and producing oil or natural gas allows revenue to come into the US treasury from it's sale. By doing that, you take part of the profits and pay down the debt.
2. Tariffs. To even the playing field, tariffs do just that and bring revenue to the US treasury.
3. Lower the cost of fossil fuel in the US allows folks to keep more of what they make, and allows them to buy more feeding other industries in the US.
4. Lowering taxes on corporations that bring business BACK to the US allows and encourages more goods to be made in country, lowering costs for all.

There are plenty more things that can and will be done under DJT's second go around that will help you, me, and BNI. It's about supply and demand, chapter one in Econ 101.

Here is what we got from the #5 last night (berg/furst/burgess):

33 minutes, 4 points, 3 rebounds

If that doesn't improve soon, I'm all for going small for longer stretches and seeing what happens.

Of course he didn't. Point to all the times he clarified that when speaking about illegals. I know of one time, like 7 years ago. Otherwise every single time he just refers to them as rapists and murderers etc.

Of course you will.

It will come as a surprise to some Hispanics and other trump voters when it's not just murderers and rapists that get deported.

And despite these giveaways being talked about during the campaign and on this board, not one of you "republicans" here .......nor any of the MAGA stooges in congress........has explained how trump is going to make up the revenue that's going to be lost. I guess the party platform doesn't stand for fiscal responsibility anymore unless it's to hold up legislation you don't like. The interest on the debt will be ONE TRILLION DOLLARS next year. And before one of you deflects to the dems spending like a drunken sailors because that's all you know how to do, they are no better than you are. Neither party gives a damn because they're too busy giving people sh/t to get re-elected.

If you're going to jump in you need to stay on point gramps.

Bone posted "Giveaways and buying votes is right out of the democrat playbook."

Tell me in 10 paragraphs or less how those aren't giveaways and buying votes. I'm sure Thomas has an opinion.

Slow pace? We're averaging 84 ppg. Against not garbage competition.

Friday will be a good litmus test. The thing is, if you think we haven't looked that good so far, neither has Alabama. They had to hold off not only McNeese last night, but also Arkansas State, who lost 17 games last year. I haven't watched more than a couple minutes of their games, but it's clear that they're still figuring things out too.

I'm putting the spread at Purdue -1.5 Friday. We shall see.

I don't care who plays, we just need to rebound and close off the lane better than we have been doing so far this year. Last night was bad. We let a guy who had taken 2 shots total in the first 2 games to look like Pascal Siakam.

I was going to post the links to show that Biden inherited 1.4% inflation and gas prices preCovid, when the economy was humming, were at or below $2.00.
But I'm tired of competing with the liberal media and parrots that repeat the lies.

It is a bit of apples and oranges Bob. Those things you list above are moves to steal less money from people through taxation on people working. An auto loan interest deduction, although less appealing to me just goes along with other tax credits in play and to stimulate a sector. All are totally different than asking workers through taxation to pay for other's misappropriate choices and irresponsibility even though history has shown the stupidity to last longer than a few years.

Naw, he ain’t going to the NFL. Realistically he is on the verge of building a mini dynasty at Colorado. Perhaps you are correct about not coming to West Laf but he would be my choice, particularly since I don’t see any of the blue blood coaches coming.
