I had the pleasure of watching this young man ply his craft last fall, I will always root for him.

No. They have a great rivalry with Harrison, The I74 Battle, it’s pretty competitive, last time we saw we saw it EC took the trophy back from Harrison after 3 OT’s, and they rotate Indy/Cincy power schools thru the schedule while playing the conference schedule they’re required to play. Most years they’re going to win the conference and they’ll have a few weeks in there to lick their wounds after Roncalli, Chatard, Moeller, LaSalle, etc.

Connersville and Rushville have their own issues. Not sure where they fit conference wise, they have both wondered aimlessly since leaving the South Central Conference. I don’t see any end in sight for either of them until each community finds a way to lure people to their locale. Rushville’s issue is they’re just far enough away from Indy to not make the donut scene, New Pal comes to mind.

I think the breakout was instigated by a couple of idiot board members in Seymour. They tasked Seymour’s AD at the time to find another conference. Because geography plays a fairly important part, they could get five schools and really needed to get to six to have a viable option. BNL, Seymour, East, JC, and Madison. South Dearborn was the chosen one, but they had no interest in leaving the EIAC. Hindsight being 20/20 Lawrenceburg may have been the better option, not sure they would leave the EIAC either. Huge natural rivals and they compete pretty well across the board in the EIAC.

Man I’m still hungover and counting my fingers….No clue.

That explains your hot take on The Hoosier Hills Conference.

The faithful have been touting this run since these kids were in the 4th grade. Ehhh, he wrote an article last fall about the best lineman in the state and somehow missed Trevor Lauck.

Finger on the pulse….

At some point but not now. My guess is non-west coast alums will love to be able to catch a 7:00pm tip-off on BTN. UCLA/USC bring a ton on content to the deal as well, seems like a great marriage for soccer.

That’s not the point, the point is BTN being subscribed to on TV’s in LA County.

If true BTN gets west coast media market, think in terms of BTN in TV’s in LA County. If the. If Big Ten pulls this off, they are in the two largest media markets in the Western Hemisphere.

Ivan Renko’s Twitter feed has nothing.

God bless America!

Someone’s been listening to Freakonomics. Incentives seldom achieve the state goal.

Ehhh, I think you give the R’s too much credit, whatever they try to do, they’ll blow it, they always do.

@Bobrefas a person in the know, what is your opinion on the basis for the findings in Roe? Was it solid legal principle or was it flawed? FWIW, I don’t think this opens the door to contraception, same sex marriage, etc. Over the years the public pretty much accepts these things. Abortion however has never gained the public support like these other issues. I would venture to guess that at the time of Roe, a majority of Americans would have been against Roe. I would also venture a guess if we could poll the nation right slightly less than a majority are in favor of Roe’s over turning. The bottom line is, in the last 50 years the Public’s opinion hasn’t changed. About half of the nation is pro abortion and about half the nation is anti abortion. And this will continue to be a divisive social wedge issue until that public opinion changes. What the court has done is most like created a situation where we will have a patchwork of ever changing (everything the party in charge changes) abortion laws. This in my opinion could lead to abortion exhaustion where people are just sick of listening to it and time it out. Much like our recent mask/vax nonsense.

I have a bit of an issue with those claiming that the court succumbed to political pressure or it has become politicized. Politics plays a role in everything. For instance, the court has not taken a 2A case in 10 years. The conventional thinking is the conservative justices would never grant Cert for fear of Roberts. Then suddenly when Robert’s vote becomes moot, suddenly they’re taking a crucial 2A case. As I have said before, in politics there’s nothing new under the sun. I have been thrilled with SCOTUS findings and I have been quite dismayed at SCOTUS rulings. It’s not like I have any control over it. And the sun will still come up tomorrow. I stayed in downtown Bloomington Friday night and they were all fired up around the courthouse, which is awesome, but I’m not really sure what leading chants with a bullhorn at the closed courthouse in Bloomington is going to help your cause. You better get in the phone with your local IGA representatives, before the Idiot R leadership in the state really screws the pooch for all Hoosiers.

Just out of curiosity do we know which justices voted for cert in this case?

Until the mid terms and the national R’s say hold my beer……and we end up with Mayor Pete or some such being prez in 24.

I have to ask…… What does a free FB group cost to purchase?

It should be noted that one of the major proponents of this case was the New York Public Defenders. Their contention was their case load is crammed with an inordinate amount of weapons charges against otherwise non-criminal actors. They maintained that prosecution of such cases is in large part against minorities. Big win for the 2A, I believe there are 7 or 8 may issue states that this will affect. There were already several lawsuits pending in various courts pending this ruling. Indiana itself used to be a may issue state. The state SC overturned it in the early 70’s.

So happy when people nearly died or died and apparently have determined at some point I was sick. About what I would expect from someone like you.

SCOTUS has struck down New York’s “may issue” licensing scheme. A big win for the citizens of the handful of remaining states that still have may issue licensing scheme. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/20-843_7j80.pdf

I have no doubt a person such as yourself would see the pandemic as a blessing.
