Yes, so instead we will just make up a bunch of horseshit about how they will get boat raced and then all of the sudden when Indiana is good and plays Ohio state close and maybe even wins everyone in here just says oh no maybe they are good?
Watch some fucking football. Indiana is a good football team. They would fucking smoke Miami who is a bad football team with an insanely good QB.
I have watched Indiana a bunch this year. They are a very good football team: well coached, very disciplined, very experienced. They have 15 or so senior starters on offense and defense. They have 20 transfer players in the 2-deep. Last season is irrelevant to this IU team, fwiw (not that you are saying that).
I believe the spread will be tOSU -14. I alluded to this earlier, but I have a gut feel that tOSU will beat the spread, because of difference in athleticism and home-field. Perhaps I am giving too mich credit to that.
Now - after thinking about it more, I can see it being closer and/or seeing an IU win. First, Cignetti is a very good coach; IMO better than Day. Second, IU does not make a lot of mistakes - they have 7 turnovers all year. 3rd, the discipline and experience should pay off. 4th, you can always count on Will Howard to shoot himself in the foot against good competition.
I want an IU win, and big, btw.

Yep and yep. Ohio State likely smokes IU and IU likely smokes Card and Purdue. Irrespective of what I said above, 11-1 for Indiana is pretty amazing.
I think Indiana can name its score against Purdue. I've watched almost all Purdue games this year (2 in person) and Purdue is horribad. The game is at IU and I suspect they'll want to show something on 11/30 after tOSU crushes them the week before. I'm guessing tOSU will be a 14 point favorite and will win by around 20. IU will be a 27 point favorite over Purdue and will win by whatever score they want.

Beck threw Bobo under the bus in the presser after the Ole Miss game. It was almost subtle, but message was delivered.
Did he blame Bobo for all of the INTs?

On a side note seems pretty likely that Hudson Card is going to go 0-9 in the Big Ten this year.
He did not play against Oregon or Illinois, so he'll only be 0-7. Picking nits, I am

Florida tackling our guys from behind or blatantly holding...no penalty. No Texas holding goes unnoticed, ever. Florida with the most obvious PI...no penalty.
Up by 40 in the SEC, especially as a newcomer, you were going to get no calls.

They seem to be missing all of the Florida holding.

I'm convinced no one fucking does anything anymore.
I'm building a company from scratch and we have gotten more done than everyone else in this industry in the last 4 months that we are to the point where we are so far ahead no one will catch us.
Big tech can't even spend there way to solving problems anymore.
Late to the party, but this. Big tech, with some exceptions, does not want to spend, because they really do not know how to spend. Innovation, nimble architecture and design, small teams, low latency feedback, etc. are anathema to these folks. Every idea that is reasonably sound is then assessed by the bureaucracy, inevitibly leading to the conclusion that the company will need to invest 8-9 figures, 4 years, and 500 people to get a product. And that the product cannot interfere with the existing roadmap, etc. Many really good ideas are dead on the vine. No one wants to challenge the status quo, etc. AND - if there is some internal seed funding - the existing players spend a decent amount of their time trying to derail these new programs. They think it's existential for them, which is mostly false.
@immamac's example of large results in a short time is exactly what I have seen in small teams and small companies in my career. LOTS of shit can get done in a very short amount of time. First, the team is small, so the overall communication network is small (fwiw, it is a function of the square of the # of channels - people in this case). Second, selection approach is rigorous. You cannot afford to add mediocre people to the fray. 3rd, each person MUST produce at least 1/n of the output for the company - or should have that mindset at a minimum. In a 10 person company, knowing that you need to produce at least 10% of the ouput is convicting AND motivating. Now convert that to a 300, 1000, or 10000 person company or team with a shitload of "here's how we've always done it" mindset from middle management, 'cuz that's the only thing they know.

That 2023 draft was abysmal for Dallas.
Picked a random, well-run organization to asses their 2023 draft: Pittsburgh
1: Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia; Starting RT (struggles at times)
2: Joey Porter, Jr, CB, Penn St; Starting CB
2: Keeanu Benton, NT, Wisconsin; Starting NT
3: Darnell Washington, TE, Georgia; TE2, strong blocker, plays a ton in 12 personnel.
4: Nick Herbig, LB, Wisconsin; WLB2 - backs up Watt
7: Corey Trice, CB, Purdue; on Roster - IR
7: Spencer Anderson, OL, Maryland; on roster - backup G100% of that draft is on the team. And this team is 6-2.

TDs surrendered by defense: (CSU, ULM, OU scored 0 TDs)
Mich: 8-78 1:54 left in 4th Quarter. Texas was already up 31-6.
UTSA: 2-75 11:07 left in 2nd. Texas won 56-7.
MSU: 7-75, 6:12 left in 4th. Texas was up 28-6 at the time.
UGA: 4-13, 0:06 left in 1st.
UGA: 3-34, 8:30 left in 2nd.
UGA: 11-89, 12:04 left in 4th.
Vandy: 5-31, 9:40 left in 1st
Vandy: 8-38, 3:11 left in 3rd
Vandy: 8-75, 0:46 left in 4th.So - 9 TDs total. 4 given up in under 40 yard drives post turnover. Mich, UTSA, and MSU drives were meaningless.

Mechanically the campaign was good and likely effective. I don't think it was a good campaign because it missed the mark entirely.
I believe @immamac's point: They executed a shitty strategy to perfection. This is the outcome.

Agreed. I’m surprised the Dems didn’t have the foresight to see that Biden was a 1 term president.
This. It seemed to me he was in 2020.
1 minute ago, Anastasis said:The problem was that Biden's people didn't shut it down discretely, and the media covered for his cognitive decline right up until it was completely untenable to continue to do so.
I read that Biden's people enjoyed the adulation, the experience, etc. of being president, so they did their best to hide/ignore his cognitive decline until it was no longer possible.
D's did nothing strategic in 2020. A potato could have beaten Trump that year...

One consolation - no more political ads.
I guess the Chili's meetup is no longer happening.

It can be chalked up to arrogance and immaturity, but his approach was flawed both tactically and strategically.
Players tend to have really strong relationships with position coaches and the rest of the position room. Given that, the *obvious* first step is to talk to the position coach. "Hey, I am not getting reps. What can I do? What am I missing?" etc. Second steps are to work your ass off relative to the feedback from the coach. Support your team; support your teammates.
Wait for the end of year assessment and make your decisions then. If the assessment is, "Hey, you are WR5 on a team who has 4 1st or 2nd round NFL players. It's looking the same next year. What do you think?" If the answer is, "I am going to stay and work my ass off" you likely are not processed. If you decide to seek a place for more PT, there is a strong likelihood that you will get help from WR coach, OC, and possibly even HC to find a landing spot. That's what good managers do: "Hey, Johntay's a team player; he works hard; he's inquisitive; we just have too many folks right now."
