2024-25 Lineup (The Dynasty Continues)

Seriously amazing accomplishment tonight but if a certain 4x champ comes back I could easily see next year's team beating this record.

LL should outscore Davis' output
Davis/Nagao should score more
Bartlett should at least equal this season
SVN/Kasak should score more
Haines should at least equal this season
MM should score more
Carter should score more if he has access to both legs
Barr should be able to match Truax
Mirasola will score less but will score
Kerkvleit should at least equal this season

That's three weights were they improve and only one where they take a hit. There is no doubt this is the most dominant team in sports.

OT - Dogs in strollers

Why the hell do people put their dogs in a stroller? I started noticing this the last few years with people putting the toy breeds in strollers, and the trend seems to be accelerating this month as the weather improves. This evening I witnessed a (likely nutjob) couple pushing a bulldog in a freaking stroller in my neighborhood. Isn’t this abuse? Is it ethical to work out one’s mental health issues by putting their dogs into a stroller? Dogs should be walked and not pushed in a stroller. They are meant to regularly exercise. We religiously walked our dog every day of his life until he passed last year.

"DT will listen to Iowa's pitch"

This, coming from a HVI respected and good poster @vhsalum over at GIA this morning. He states:

"Now the biggie - yes. Kyven was right. The AD has plans to talk to DT. She is dead serious about WINNING chips again. She's not particularly happy with Tom at the moment. The gambling, the ferrari situation, and this performance - she's holding Tom accountable and will be looking to do what will have us beat carl. She is VERY AWARE of the legacy of Iowa wrestling and how we're falling further behind. Like I told you earlier, she shut down AJ coming in in January - she's not a fan and isn't a fan of Tom's decision to bring the circus in. She also told Tom to get a hold of Terry - it's why he's been "less" in the corners.

Now how this got out? Not sure, but it likely means there are Tom loyalists who wanted it leaked. Because the plan was to wait until after the Olympics to talk to DT. So now that its out, not sure if this will accelerate talks or stop them completely."

"I've heard he'll (DT) "listen" - basically, the offer would have to be everything and more."

How would this work with Toms contract running through 2029? Will they both coexist or will Tom get canned for it to work?
"canned"


Interesting rumors for the Monday morning after!

Big-time gambling scandal may be looming for NBA

Jontay Porter. I don't follow the league closely enough anymore to be familiar with the name, but he's a bit player for the Raptors...averages 4 points a game.

The NBA is now investigating two games this year where he played only a few minutes and didn't score before taking himself out of both contests, once due to unspecified illness and once because he claimed to have reaggravated a previous eye injury...though he hadn't been listed on the team's pre-game injury report.

Attention has been focused on a potentially suspicious pattern of prop gambling on both games where big bucks were bet on Porter's under number for points and rebounds. In fact, DraftKings reported that Porter prop bets were the #1 gambling moneymaker for both nights of NBA games.

A source tells ESPN: "People were trying to do whatever they could to bet Jontay Porter props [against the Clippers]...and then, just a few days ago, the same thing. We had a bunch of people trying to bet under for more."

To be clear, there have been no accusations (yet)...nor even allegations. But gosh, it does have a fishy feel to it.

OT New Dog Thread

Okay, now that we’ve beaten the dogs in strollers issue to death. What in hell is wrong with these people that dress their dogs up like they’re going to a fashion show? I see it for Pomeranians and other tiny breeds for some perverted self righteous interest. But what self respecting German Shepherd, Doberman or a hunting dog wants to be dressed like a freak when he goes for a walk?

Don’t give me the wether nonsense, because God gave them a furry coat. And if you leave your dog outside for prolonged periods in really cold weather, you shouldn’t have a dog? Unfortunately that’s a different story. But this dressing them in coats, hats and God forgive booties, for a walk is a sign of a really demented individual.
