Nah, whenever there’s an excuse to be had, Boiler is on top of it

I think it'd be therapeutic for me if BYU won on a last second, Haarms over-the-back tip-in with one second left...

....but,but,but, erections and politicians go together.

I'll not link it to keep us as far away from politics as possible. But, if you get the chance, google Chuck Schumer 'insurrection' He made a hilarious slip of the tongue this morning while addressing the Senate.

IU hires new conditioning coach.

I sacrificed one of my future children to the football gods in overtime of the PSU game. Well worth it!

Any blue dresses 👗 involved

Just saw Georgetown is 3-8! This whole "hire a former great player" stuff almost never works out. Penny Hardaway is not doing much better.

Actually.....this is a trick question. There's two: Plunkett and Phil Simms. Edit: Scratch that. Simms has a Super Bowl MVP, not a league MVP.

I think we hope Baylor loses 1 in conference and then beats Gonzaga for us in the tourney?

Not my intel, just passing on what I have read elsewhere. He likes indiana, but there is a feeling he wants to get away for school which is why Penn State, Oregon, and other schools are in his top 8 also. Rumor is Penn State might be in the driving seat as of now, but a lot of race left to go and we are definitely on the track.

One thing with the Jets.. I would be weary of trading with Ballard, he's skinned them 3 times lol

We have one signed.

Obligated to.. yes 🤣🤣

Too many guys that want the shots (Baker, Mathis, Young) but aren't playing D. Earlier in the year when Harper was the unquestioned leader and Baker was out, they played well.

Rutgers totally imploding down 43-27 and looks really bad

I’ve heard a lot of good things about Brady as the QBC, I think it’s an fantastic hire

Penn St is doing to Rutgers exactly what we need to do to Iowa. Drive it to the rim. PSU averages taking 27 3 point shots a game. They only took 7 (1-7) in the first half, and scored 28 points in the paint. Lead by 10.

Cody returns to play tomorrow night

But Mississippi is more fun to say and spell. Did they cover anything about using the tide for energy? Was always wondering why we can’t harness that.

About energy, I took an Aquatic biology class in college. According to my professor hydroelectric dams all over the Ohio River. There is a series of locks and dams from Huntington, WV to Evansville, IN. They are functional and could easily provide energy to the Ohio Valley region. But politics and lobbyists keep it from happening. Also, the Ohio river is one class larger than the Mississippi at their convergence. So, the Mississippi river should be the Ohio all the way down to the gulf.

Would you be willing to name him/her To’o To’o?

I've been saying for a while that he's the #1 recruit I want for next year. Having a stud guard would be huge. He'd be our highest ranked OL by a lot. On 247 he'd be our 9th best recruit in their rankings history. Cronk is our highest OL at 18th best. I'd love to hear if anybody has any insight too. Really interested to know what our chances are here.

Japan, China and Asia in general have been moving ahead of the game in solar. The worlds largest floating solar plants, and India is getting into it now. China and Japan are 1 and 2 in overall installed solar capacity, and now you're getting floating solar linked to hydroelectric plants. Since the 2015 Paris Agreement solar farm building has surged worldwide, and Germany at times has met 50% of its daily energy useage through solar. The technology, PV and CSP, has been around but think it's pretty clear now it, along with other clean, renewable energy, is taking off.

Interesting convo about energy. I think it's always important to remember that no energy source is 100% perfect. All will have their downsides. New energy needs a chance to evolve as technology develops. I think experimentation and innovation are a good thing. We get caught up in 'what's the best right now', but I think we need to be of the mindset that one or a few of these can developed further and lead to a better future. For example, I've mentioned before that I geek out on science podcasts. I gravitate towards those that a 'futurist' in nature. In regards to energy, most scientist believe that we'll eventually be able to harness the sun's energy. When that day comes the entire planet will be powered at no cost. There was a figure that went something like: if we could harness one millionth of ONE sun ray's energy we could power the entire planet for 1,000 years. If technology and investment in solar leads to this then I think it's important to let innovation develop. It's counter-productive and rather obtuse to say solar (or any energy source: wind, nuclear, natural gas, etc.) is not the answer because, at the moment, it's not as powerful, safe, reliable, takes up too much land, kills birds, etc. We are in the infancy of sustainable/clean energy, there's no telling where any of these industries will go or what they can lead to. The cream will eventually rise to the top.
