Raining threes on our heads
Heads would imply we are close which is not accurate for the most part.
Yikes they’re getting open 3’s on every possession.
It’s not rocket science
Fantastic Wolverines/Buckeyes game.
Darn Skippy. Meyer has some gonads.
Defense not existent right now.
Probably one of those games when we rely on our talent edge. We have got to play better defense. We have the athletic ability and depth. No reason not to.Of a school newspaper reacting to four pretty bad seasons gets under his skin then he is definitely in the wrong business.
He may be a good man but he acted like a petulant child in his post game yesterday.^Yep. And if he has a great year, we’ll be the ones hoping that he wants to stay.
After listening to his post game yesterday there is no doubt he will hit the road at the first opportunity.
I didn’t realize everything had to be prefect to best Creighton.
I said it before and well day it again, this yam will only go as far as it’s defense.my mistake guys…
instead of saying…
extreme social conservatives == …ists of all colors
I should have said…
…ists of all colors == ultra-extreme social conservatives
I was really just trying not to say out loud “radical neo-nazi white supremacists”…
:>}
No problem, it seemed out of character but makes sense once you explained what you were thinking.
I will say this though (not implying you bill just in general). Just because that group are social conservatives doesn’t mean visa versa just as because the KKK likes Trump doesn’t mean Trump likes the KKK.
Rick, 1) I have no qualms about assigning personal responsibility to the folks who get HIV or get high using shared needles and become infected with HIV from those dirty needles. I suppose we can blame most of the world’s ills on a lack of personal responsibility. However, regarding the overall care of our citizenry, 2) I suppose we have to choose as a society what we are willing to tolerate socially and fiscally. Our society has to make a choice on what it will do for the folks who are poor, uneducated, ill-advised, smart but making poor choices, or unlucky in circumstances. 3) Do we treat all of them as pariahs and ignore them until they die? Do we jail them for not conforming to the ideals of our society? Do we provide some basic services like a social safety net of some sort? Does any of this fit what we want our country to be? 4) I personally think we are better people than we have been advertised to be and we have proof of this written into our constitution and its preamble. 5) That still leaves open the question of how do we take care of our citizens? I prefer to be hopeful that the unfortunate among us can rely on an established and reasonable level of care offered by our local and federal governments that “promote(s) the general welfare” of our citizens
Great response. Let me see if I can do it any justice.
1) I was not trying to state that we should not try to help other people. IMO we as a society should be doing more so that the government has to do less (or maybe even the government should do less so that the people can do more). I was specifically responding to blaming a much more nuanced problem (as you have very aptly described) solely on Pence.
2) I don’t know the motivation for closing PP so it is hard for me to say it was a bad choice. The choice obviously had some bad ramifications but that, in and of itself, does not make it a bad decision. I also don’t know what other services were available up there. Nonetheless, I agree as a society we should help those that want help and should offer people help when they need it and IMO it should be less government and more privately driven.
3) I don’t feel the should be a “pariah” but society has certain norms and expectations. What is the balance between helping someone and enabling their problems? It is not a simple problem and is more of a case by case basis than anything.
4) I agree we are better. Even the poor in this country live a life many other countries envy.
5) Here I differ. I think relying on the government to help people makes them less likely and able to actually help someone. I don’t feel we should count on the government for many things. It doesn’t mean I don’t care. It just means I don’t think its the governments responsibility.extreme social conservatives == …ists of all colors
Heart of the problem. One side thinks the other is a bunch of “ists”. The other side is sick of being called an “ist”.
shut down Planned Parenthood which helped set off an HIV outbreak
I am sure there is another side to this story but even if it is true how is it Pence’s fault people are screwing like cats in heat? Misplaced blame is a hallmark of the left.
Rick, there is another side to this story. You and perhaps many other folks assume that HIV is primarily a sexually transmitted disease (thus it’s the fault of all those sinners screwing in Indiana.) When Gov. Pence and the state legislature reduced Indiana’s health care expenditures, they effectively shut down Planned Parenthood’s operations in Scott county. Yay for the conservatives. Unfortunately, there was an unintended consequence to this socially conservative victory. Planned Parenthood was the only provider of HIV testing in all of a particular Indiana county (Scott Co.) This resulted in a public health blackout regarding the recognition of the spread of drug use related HIV and of course sexually transmitted HIV. That lack of available testing and consequently no data, resulted in an explosion of costs in the acute care of HIV cases in that county and across the state of Indian as other care facilities became involved in the care of the growing HIV infected population. That created skyrocketing healthcare costs for the state. All that was in the name of social and fiscal conservativism. Sometimes little victories lead to great losses.
Thank you for the information. I still don’t know the whole story (i.e. why they cancelled PP) but I don’t see how you can blame Pence for other people’s actions. I was raised that actions have consequences. When I make a mistake I don’t blame other people. It seems society is slowly changing where everyone wants to blame others instead of taking responsibility.Does it suck that people caught HIV? Absolutely. Does it suck that health care costs skyrocketed? For sure. Could it have been avoided? Yes (I bet you and I differ on how it could be avoided). But is it Pence’s fault? No it’s the fault of the people that do risky activities. I guess we will not see eye to eye on this. Maybe its generational.

I am fiscally and socially conservative but would vote a true fiscal conservative in almost no matter what his social.
I have low expectations for Trump. If he keeps the supreme court even I will be satisfied. If he kills obamacare I will be happy.
I have grown to like gridlock. Very little bad happens when there’s gridlock.I will forget about this game as quickly as possible and how we build on it
yes may we never speak of this night again
Pinky swear
Good effort and a quality opponent
We shall see whether there are good or we made them look good.
They were picked fourth in their conferenceI tell you this game will be telling 20 games in. At that point I will let you know how I feel about this game.

This team matches up well with the Pack.
That’s what I hope it was
Well now we all know that smaller schools should always get the calls because of equality, or fairness, or social justice, or something..
Small school lives matter
Halftime Ref meeting:
“Hey fellas!!! This crazy thing they make us put in our mouth isn’t a pacifier…it makes noise when you blow it!!”
“No Way!!!”
“Ah dude we have to use this in the next half.”It’s almost like they wired the whistles into their pleasure centers
Even if we do manage to somehow pull this out, I will not feel good about it.
I will feel better than if we lose…
Well, yeah. LOL
Amiright?
