Does the G.O.A.T. sell a TB12 branded memory supplement?

Rivals Frankfort & Lebanon had to cancel their regular season game due to covid, but get matched up in the first round of sectional #22. Karma?

From Harrell's: Also reflected in the week #8 predictions at the Layette Urinal & Courier, which is never wrong: https://www.jconline.com/story/sports/blogs/sam-king/2020/10/08/high-school-football-week-8-predictions/5932291002/ Around the area Delphi (5-2) over Clinton Central (3-1) Clinton Prairie (1-6) over Carroll (2-4) Covington (4-3) over Tri-County (2-4) North Vermillion (1-6) over Fountain Central (0-5) North Montgomery (5-2) over Frankfort (3-4) Lebanon (1-3) over Southmont (2-4) Tri-West (5-2) over Crawfordsville (0-7) Frontier (5-2) over West Central (1-6) Clinton Prairie (1-6) over Manual (1-4) North Newton (3-4) over North White (2-4) Rensselaer (4-3) over Northwestern (0-7) South Vermillion (6-1) over Seeger (5-1) Attica (3-2) over South Newton (0-5) At least the prediction is two victories for the moribund Gophers...........

I wonder how many "superspreader" events this will trigger?

Trump Calls on Biden and Obama to Be Charged With Crimes, Says Bill Barr Will Go Down in History as ‘Sad’ if Not https://www.mediaite.com/news/trump-calls-on-biden-and-obama-to-be-charged-with-crimes-says-bill-barr-will-go-down-in-history-as-sad-if-not/ Sounds like Mr. Trump is getting pretty desperate in the last weeks of the campaign.

Wow, I can just see that vein in your forehead just pulsing as you typed that. You really get worked up over down vote. How old are you, and try to be honest. And for the record I do not "hate" high school football. How you came to that conclusion is beyond me. And I still enjoy the back and forth discussions, that is why I still read and post here. Ahh, that explains it.

Hmm, So you find 100% of the threads in the GID high school football forum to contain exciting and engaging discussion? Sorry that high school football is all you seem to be prepared to talk about on an internet message forum. Quite a myopic view of the world. But then again I lived Greene county for a while, so I understand the milieu.

lol, quoting yourself. Real mature? And I just removed the thumbs down. Hope it helps your fragile ego.

Meh, with no seeding we'll probably see a first round Western vs. Roncalli matchup. Who does that benefit?

Please, come join the discussions in the new OOB. And yes, too many vapid discussions of "Conference X" I find boring. Sorry that you don't. And if you want to talk about who is the more educated please send me a PM.

Media buzz over fly is proof Pence won debate, critics say: https://www.foxnews.com/media/pence-debate-fly-head Typical that Mr. Biden would use a fly to try and make a quick buck or two.

Should be Roncalli's sectional to lose..............

*ahem* Educate yourself. Please.

Which is fine with me. The GID is filled with too many "<conference X> week <y>" threads as it is.

Mike Pence Showed Trump How TV Debates Are Won https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/mike-pence-showed-trump-how-tv-debates-are-won/

https://www.cato.org/blog/long-history-official-lies-about-presidential-health Kennedy’s regimen also included a potent cocktail of painkillers and amphetamines regularly administered by celebrity physician Max “Dr. Feelgood” Jacobson; “I don’t care if it’s horse piss, it works,” JFK said of the injections. One of the most brazen—and successful—health-related coverups in presidential history has to be Grover Cleveland’s cancer surgery in 1893, a story Cleveland and his loyalists managed to keep under wraps for over two decades. That summer, during the first year of Cleveland’s second (nonconsecutive) term—and after a lifetime of cigar‐smoking and tobacco chewing—the president needed an operation to remove a malignant tumor from the roof of his mouth. Using the cover story of a Long Island fishing trip, Cleveland had the surgery performed on a friend’s yacht. Under a single, swaying light bulb, a team of six doctors removed “five teeth, about a third of the upper palate, and a large piece of the upper left jawbone.” The press was told “nothing but dentistry” had been performed during the president’s four‐day voyage. One reporter for a Philadelphia paper got the scoop, but the administration damped down the rumors with a campaign to label the story “fake news.” And with a specially fitted rubber insert plugging the hole in his upper palate, Cleveland managed to look normal enough to pass (the fashion for bushy mustaches probably helped). Today, at the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia, you can take a look at “the jaw tumor of President Grover Cleveland” (and chunks of presidential assassin Charles Guiteau’s brain, if you’re so inclined). The public didn’t learn the full truth about Cleveland’s surgery until 1917, nearly a decade after his death, when one of the doctors published an account in the Saturday Evening Post. If today we have less reason to worry about such large‐scale deception, that’s not due to any moral improvement in the political leadership class. Rather, such schemes have become much harder to pull off: it’s now impossible for a president to keep a two‐hour hospital visit secret, let alone a multi‐day “fishing trip” for major surgery. And, were the president’s health to take a dramatic turn for the worse, Melania Trump won’t be stepping in as a latter‐day Edith Wilson. To a far greater degree than in Cleveland’s, Wilson’s, or even Kennedy’s day, presidents are now under constant scrutiny from adversarial journalists, nonprofit watchdogs, and potential whistleblowers. In his 2012 book Power and Constraint, Jack Goldsmith coined the term “Presidential Synopticon” to describe “the gargantuan array of eyeballs gazing at the presidency, in secret and in public.” In Bentham’s Panopticon, the one watches the many; but in the Presidential Synopticon, the many watch the one. Modern technology has radically enhanced both forms of monitoring: presidents are now constantly on camera and at risk of being recorded even in situations of apparent privacy. Crowdsourced surveillance via social media makes even small‐scale deception harder to pass off, even if excitable internet sleuths often get things wrong. These social and technological changes aren’t an unmitigated blessing, but they do make official secrets much harder to keep. Mr. Trump is just another POTUS among many, and certainly not the most egregious.

No, I believe youth extracurricular organized sports can have positive benefits in the development of our youth, but so can many non-organized sports activities as well.

Too many other forms of entertainment vying for consumers time and treasure. And please explain how reduced viewership and/or participation in organized athletics is weakening America?

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/j-r-r-tolkien-vs-the-euphemistic-state/ We might have guessed this much given nothing to go by but the text of The Lord of The Rings. The psychedelic California radicals of the 1960s, for whom Tolkien’s work was a cultural touchstone, certainly wouldn’t have been surprised to read these words from the author. They might have been surprised to learn that the same man insisted upon belting out the Roman mass in the original Latin during every liturgy in defiance of that most wretched and accursed modernizer: Pope John XXIII. The former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams has described Tolkien’s great friend C.S. Lewis as a “Tory Anarchist”: someone who combines a fervent devotion to authority, tradition, and moral conservatism with unrelenting hostility towards the encroachment of state power. Tolkien belongs very much in the same camp, and he brings his philological genius to bear by offering a Tory Anarchist diagnosis of political language and its perils: According to Tolkien, the main malady afflicting political language is euphemism. Orwell made a similar point in “Politics and The English Language,” but he didn’t fasten onto the issue of names the way Tolkien does. “Government” is nothing more or less than a huge apparatus built to threaten and inflict violence upon people within a given locality. In democracies, we elect the people who threaten and inflict this violence upon us, but it’s still violence all the same. Tolkien is making the point that our thinking about politics would be a lot clearer if it reflected this fact; that government is, at bottom, a process whereby certain individuals wield coercive power over others. Euphemisms such as “the state,” “the government,” “public spending,” and “public services” mask this fact by drawing a veil of impersonal and lofty neutrality over the state that obscures what it actually does. That’s why getting “back to personal names” is so important. If, instead of saying “I’m filing my tax returns,” Americans were in the habit of saying “I’m forfeiting my property to Donald, Nancy, and Mitch at gunpoint,” we might start to think about taxation, and government in general, a lot differently. Agreed.

Interesting theory. Who is this "someone" exactly?
