2016 Democratic Thread
QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 5, 2016 -> 09:20 AM) If the left wing of the democratic party actually cared about issues enough to vote during midterms more than sharing articles on social media they could probably have accomplished more. Hillary's campaign is so much better this time, she's a better candidate than 08. She's smart and she doesn't pull any punches. Something I didn't care for in 08 but see a lot of appeal in now. You know why Clinton has such a murky record? She has actually been in the policy fights of the last 20 years and having to be part of the decisions of watering down or strengthening bills that affected people. Meanwhile Sanders was in his safe lillywhite seat in Vermont sniping. Caucusing with the democrats and never getting an elite chair in the senate. But yeah, I'm sure as president his debate skillz will convince the country to vote in a wave of candidates and create a liberal dream gov't. I'm convinced. I think you need to brush up on your Sanders history because you are painting both with pretty inaccurate broad brushes. For example, its not exactly safe or easy to get elected to the house as an independent, regardless of where you are from. Its also extremely difficult to win elections when money is brought against you. It's also very difficult to be in any position of leadership in the senate or house as an independent socialist. His entry into politics wasnt nearly as easy as Silver Spoon Hillary's was with Wellsley, Yale and then on the coattails of her husband. They put it pretty accurately on the news this morning when they said Hillary is the bead/brain option and Sanders is the heart.

NCAA basketball 2015-16 thread
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 4, 2016 -> 10:11 PM) Ohio State, Wisconsin and Michigan are going to be in a dogfight for those 5th and 6th NCAA tourney bids... Theoretically, seven's a possibility, but so is just five. Count the Buckeyes out, they aren't making it.

2016 Recruiting Thread
QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Feb 4, 2016 -> 07:12 AM) Is it just me, or do most of these big recruits look like they're in their early 20s? I'm about 35 and most of them grow beards, and I still cannot.

Pretty sure Flair has CTE, first he talked about calling a dead guy, then he considers a 3rd place team "the man."

2016 Recruiting Thread
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 3, 2016 -> 04:08 PM) Not having great recruiters at Wisconsin and Nebraska is huge. Not to mention Illinois and Minnesota going in the tank...and Purdue used to give Iowa trouble as well in their better days. And finally Iowa State has been in turmoil. Confluence of favorable factors. Still, ND always looms in the Midwest, and now Michigan again. http://www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports/co...lones/79756708/ Sounds like Nathan Stanley from WI has a similar profile to Brad Banks...but a bit more balanced between running and throwing. Also won battle for MI offensive lineman Alaric Jackson. Desmond King staying has really helped in Detroit supposedly. http://www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports/co...ckson/79750496/ Michigan really isnt recruiting much in the midwest yet, zero kids from Ohio which is really weird.

AS long as Iowa is in the BIG West they have a damn good shot at the division, especially with easy crossover years.

2016 Recruiting Thread
QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 3, 2016 -> 08:30 AM) Anything with Ric Flair isnt a little show! I see on Twitter as guys sign so the party isn't a big deal to me. Supposedly there is some silent commit. No idea who that would be or how big it is. Unless that's Gary. Probably Gary, or that kicker. I like being done before noon, the last min decisions are the worst.

2016 Recruiting Thread
QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 3, 2016 -> 08:25 AM) I honestly just typed "Going Blue" because it was shorter. Didn't know it was a thing. You're more confident than me on Hill but I'm feeling more comfortable on Gary with unbiased guys predicting Michigan for him. Only guys predicting Clemson are their reporters. Farrell tried to lean Clemson, but its for clicks. Clemson didnt hire Gary's HS coach, no matter how much they think their "brand" is good. Sucks that Michigan isnt telling you guys s*** until that little show thing. We are about done and its only 8:30.
