Re: The Political Junkie Thread

Is there a consensus on how many seats Dems need to flip to be able to get things done on these issues, and will voters find that argument convincing with respect to the fact that they are seemingly unable to do anything now? In the immortal SNL words of Jesse Jackson... The_Question_Is_Moot.jpg It...

The problem is that I can't read maps...was thinking Bassett was on the visitors side but it's on the home side. Agree it makes perfect sense to set it up that way. :whistle:

Re: Duke Spring Game 4/16 All Day M&A/SD Thread

Knock on wood, the weather report is showing a beautiful Spring day, low 70s for highs, low 50s for lows, partly cloudy. (Which in my book is also partly sunny.) The weather looks like it will be awesome! It is a bit of a bummer that the pregame Fan Fest is so far from Blue Devil Alley. Where is th...

Re: Welcome Coach Elko

Mike Elko is our new coach. What are your early thoughts about the hire, Bob? Our team went downhill quickly after Jim Knowles departed so having a defensive minded head coach is good. Let’s see who he hires as coordinators. Priority one is bringing together a solid staff. Hopefully the $$ are ther...

Probably locking up Obama's portrait in the broom closet and throwing away the key. I thought he refused to hang it up, or refused to have the traditional ceremony to hang it up, or something like that? Low class dbag... Yep. Refused to have the ceremony, and IF it got hung, it was in some closet s...

Re: Trump Vs Biden --- The Election Thread

Some of the corners of the Internet I hang out in have a fair number of Trump supporters, and the cries of fraud have been constant and loud. If Biden wins we'll be hearing about fraud for the next 4 years at least.

Re: Trump Vs Biden --- The Election Thread

Probably too partisan to post OY, but I thought other people might be as amused as I am by the irony of the Trump demonstrator in AZ (at least they appeared to be part of the Trump demonstration) holding the sign "Protect Democracy, not your Party".

Re: Trump Vs Biden --- The Election Thread

Just returned home from voting. The line was quite long; it took about an hour and a half. The line was still long when I left, but not as long as when I got there. I think turnout will be high. Where was this? St Louis metro area Which is crazy because turnout was ALREADY high with all the early v...

Re: FB: Duke at ND, Sat 9/12 - 2:30 KickOff --Seeya in Section 21!

Looking forward to seeing Cut calling plays, Chase under center, and our young WR corps. Also our defense, which was good last year and (despite some losses) should be even better this year. Curious to see how our relatively unproven RBs look, and a little nervous about the O-Line (particularly Cent...

This is a scary thought.

ChatBot is the Deep State. Just so y’all know. (A joke for those who have done the in-game chats during basketball season — it hates me and me only for some reason). This is accurate. I always like to hop into the chat for gamedays when I can, but I usually forget there's an actual board (even thou...
