The earlier date had stipulations attached to it. Trump' admin was going to leave buffer force and was NOT going to surrender Baghram. That's gas-lighting at its best to suggest that Biden did what Trump would have done.

Stallings was acquitted at trial and an Army vet. The other two were not bailed out for rape and murder but after they were bailed out, they committed the crimes.

And that was when Cuse and BC had good programs that went downhill after they joined the ACC. UConn has never been good so they are starting way behind.

Could someone please explain where is the leverage to get a better deal. Who is going to pay more? Do we go on strike? Just asking.

This all comes down to Brett Yormark's belief that basketball media deals are under-valued and that having UConn will give them a major piece to sell.

IMO, this is the main reason why I thought the value of the new BE media rights deal was disappointing. Compared to the original deal it didn't go up enough considering UConn's addition and back to back titles.

The B12 flirtation comes down to Brett Yormark's belief that basketball media deals are under-valued and that having UConn will give them a major piece to sell. He wouldn't risk watering down football and dividing profits up further if he didn't feel strongly that he could get a much higher media deal than the BE got with UConn.

Oh you know everyone's intentions. Great. Even the most liberal outlets talk about the Minnesota Freedom Fund bailing out Jaleel Stallings who was charged with attempted murder, plus they bailed out a woman accused of killing a friend and also a convicted rapist.

Has he ever actually run the country? He is and has been a puppet IMO and Kamala will be the same if elected.

Very sad that these are our two choices again.

Your second paragraph is by far the most concerning. We have a president that is mentally unfit, but is running the country for the next four months.

Old friend - So true about being worse than the score. The Huskies have no speed in skill positions. Looks like they run in quicksand. The quarterback play is awful. Can't throw out patterns with any zip. I'm afraid it is going to be another long season for the Huskies. In fact, I would be a tad worried about Merrimack this week. They played Air Force really tough out in the altitude. Wonder if any of the Big 12 commissioners tuned in. Brett Yormark has a tougher sell after seeing the "promised" improvement.

Are you really doing these false equivalencies? The bail fund was for misdemeanor offenses. I am not saying that was the smartest thing for Harris to have done but the intention was not for serious crimes like arson, burglary aggravated assaults. Moreover, bail funds get you out of jail pending of trial. Not to absolve you of a crime.

Unlike Jan 6 convicts who not only committed felonies and were convicted of crimes like assaulting police, they tried to overthrow the rightfully elected President. Pardons are to wipe away a conviction. One thing does not equal another.

Oh, it was worse than the score.

Maryland is our most difficult game of the season. Hopefully we can improve on that showing.

We likely have not heard the last of UConn to the B12. Moreover, if UConn doesn’t go to the B12, I would expect that the ACC wil poach it when the latter implodes.
