It takes 4 justices to grant certiorari and those votes are not made public, although very occasionally a Justice will write a dissent after a vote. But even in the rare cases where that happens, it’s usually a dissent from the denial of cert, not a grant.

Jackals get a bad rap.

That’s always the way it is … until the “outside” starts winning games.

At least the Catholic church’s stance is consistent and based on doctrine, regardless whether you believe it right or wrong. I firmly believe that many of those cheering this decision do so out of their desire to misogynistically legislate morality. It’s a powerful blow in favor of the double standard. All I’ll say at this point is “Beware the Law of Unintended Consequences.” They took away something that was viewed as a constitutional right for almost 50 years. They can take away others just as easily.

Do you think the demographic changes were a factor in the selection of the new HFC?

I guess “tough” is one way to look at it. Another possibility is “ego-driven” (at the kids’ expense). But I wish him the best of luck. Whiting has always had a nice program and a good fan base.

Those extolling the overturning of Roe as a victory for “states’ rights,” be careful what you ask for. Roe was grounded in an interpretation of the 5th and 14th amendments that recognized a fundamental right of individual privacy, which included the right to determine what happens with the individual’s own body. This decision is a giant step toward rolling back the notion that the Constitution embodies a right of privacy. Is that what you really want? If no, how are you going to stop the train as it gains momentum?

Indiana’s Republican supermajority General Assembly plans to address the state’s abortion laws during a July 6 special session. Get ready for the sh*tshow to end all sh*tshows.

Just what this country needs: another divisive force to drive us further apart. A bunch of old men telling women what they can and cannot do. Shameful.

Tim was acutely aware of his influence on the GID and was careful not to insert himself into too many discussions, lest his presence chill the debate.

You need to think bigger. I’m sure he is.

I’m sure there are some NCAA transfers prompted by considerations other than playing time or NIL. But there’s no doubt the creation of the transfer portal has led to a different mentality among many: “If it’s not working for me here, rather than buckle down and work harder, I’ll just go somewhere else.”

Great idea. 👍

I’m actually on an airplane … but got the in-flight wi fi just so I could do that. 😂🤣

This is potentially a huge win for the 2nd Amendment folks. The specific holding of the case is as follows: “New York’s proper-cause requirement violates the Fourteenth Amendment by preventing law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms in public for self-defense.” Some might call this a formal acknowledgement of the inability of the government to protect its own citizens from the lawless elements in our country. And it’s not just limited to state laws. It includes local ordinances like those cities that use “may issue” laws to limit handgun ownership.

Whatever it is, or could be, it’s peanuts compared to what he’s going to do in the world before he’s finished. This guy is going to be much, much more than a football player.

This kid is this generation’s Jack Armstrong. For those of you young folks, look that up. An outstanding young man from little Pioneer High School, with his best football ahead of him and a degree from the prestigious Mendoza School of Business already in his pocket. What a great story. A true Notre Dame Man. https://mobile.twitter.com/AE_Kiser/status/1526399998287659009/photo/1

Our crew made a rare trip to central Indiana during the regular season one year to work Fishers @ Avon. Dave Shelbourne, formerly at Highland, was coaching Avon and Rick Wimmer, formerly of Merrillville, was coaching Fishers. When TA found out we were coming, he got all excited and promised to come over and see us. We had a great time chatting before the game. This picture of the coin toss be fore the game was taken by TA himself.

The trickle down effect of the NCAA transfer portal.

It was 12 years ago today that the GID suffered a devastating blow from which many thought it would never recover. The founder and guiding spirit of the forum, Tim Adams, passed away suddenly. Tim was a long time coach, and a tireless promoter of Indiana high school football. I consider myself very fortunate to have gotten to know him and call him a good friend. I know many of the people on the forum now joined after Tim passed, and they know him only by the occasional references on here. Perhaps others who knew him might share some of their recollections of this very good man.

He was famous for drinking away his signing bonus when he signed his first pro contract. A notorious carouser.

Have you ever seen him?

Unfortunately, this is a good advertisement for living a healthy lifestyle.

Neurological humor! Love it!

That’s actually a more understandable way to express it. You’re protected from discrimination if you fall into one of those classes. But if you don’t, tough luck. Now some places have local laws that expand the list of protected classes. But still, protection is not available if your class is not on the list.
