@JoeMabok @OfTheBraveUSA @yjjeepsnmemes Do you believe Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are real too?

@OfTheBraveUSA @yjjeepsnmemes Something sometime will trigger it. Why not him and why not now. You scared of His return?

Joe Rogan: " One of these high-level commanders says, 'don't be worried [about war with Iran] because Trump is anointed by Jesus Christ to bring back [his] return on Earth' … Those [guys] are just as scary as suicide bombers."

@HFryman @skinnymac__ @Stubbone124196 @HawkeyeBBFan Iowa Would have made it in 2020 were it not for covid. Iowa had locked it down prior to the BTT. 8 tourneys in 10 years from 14-23.

@skinnymac__ @Stubbone124196 @HawkeyeBBFan Iowa made the tournament in 2019 as 10 seed and took 2 Tennessee to OT in round of 32, 2020 was canceled, made it in 21 as 2 seed, 22 as 5 seed, and 23 as 8 seed. Missed tournament in 17, 18, 24, and fired in 25.

Who does Wisconsin play today?

Limit the damage from 2s. Iowa’s two point defense was very poor this season while Florida had one of the nation’s best shooting %ages on 2s. I’m hoping we can at least limit the # of attempts they get on 2s.

Folks. Iowa put up 1.25 points per possession against Clemson. That was not a rock fight, offensive struggle or anything of the kind. That was Iowa’s best offensive performance since the Oregon/Washington road trip.

@TheRickWebster Honestly it’s a pretty lazy grouping all around. Fran’s Iowa tenure was substantially better than Alford’s as well.

Tom is not in that category. And BMC made the tourney and won a game in year 1 which already puts him way ahead of the other 2.

@CollegeHoopsTIk @OldTakesExposed you might be interested in this

I think even most Illinois fans might agree with this, but the eye test and KenPom are in tragic disagreement about Illinois’ efficiency on offense. Some crazy droughts

@onegospel2021 @ChukaIwuh @BrickCenter_ I don’t think that guy was serious.

@ChukaIwuh @BrickCenter_ Someone already said that in this thread ….and being serious

There's no such thing as traveling in the NBA anymore. Jalen Green took SIX steps in a 1-point game with 25 seconds left... no call 😭

@parmita How biologists fix a radio is also a very good article that I read at the start of my PhD 20 years ago.

There's an old joke in systems biology called "How Biologists Fix a Radio." A biologist, tasked with figuring out why a radio doesn't work, removes components one by one and catalogs the result. Remove this transistor: the radio makes a horrible screeching sound. Conclusion: this is the "horrible screeching transistor." Remove another component: the radio goes silent. Conclusion: this is the "silence transistor." This is essentially what we do with genomics. We see which genes are mutated in cancer and assume they must be "cancer genes." We see which genes are differentially expressed and assume they must be "important." But correlation is not causation, and a parts list is not a circuit diagram. You can have a complete inventory of every resistor, capacitor, and transistor in a radio and still have no idea how it plays music.

@GenningsFan @HawkeyeBBFan I couldn’t agree more. Drives me nuts when they screw a team because someone gets injured.

@HawkeyeBBFan Fine them for what? They didn't break any rules. It was smart to do that. Blame the selection committee for even considering injuries- a team's accomplishments are a team's accomplishments, no matter the players.

Fine them into the sun. Who didn’t see this coming?

@odyssjii @yashar Yep. And that makes it unlikely for them to turn against the ideologues.

@yashar Are there any reliable estimates for what fraction of the administrative state and the military are ideologues vs careerists? If a silent majority are careerists a coup is not unlikely at a certain point. Though unfortunately many of them also have oceans of blood on their hands.

Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran: “I do not know why the Americans and the Israelis still have not understood this point. The Islamic Republic of Iran has a strong political structure with established political, economic, and social institutions. The presence or absence of a single individual does not affect this structure. Of course, individuals are influential, and each person plays their role, some better, some worse, some less. But what matters is that the political system in Iran is a very solid structure. We have not had anyone more important than the leader himself, and even the leader was martyred. Yet the system continued to work and immediately provided a replacement. If anyone else is martyred, it will be the same.”

@UpdatingOnRome I wish they’d spent that money on actual battle scenes. So many to choose from and we didn’t get a single one.

Now we get shows that spend 100’s of millions of dollars on awful dragons nobody cares about.

Happy St. Patrick's Day….always remember the Mobile, Alabama leprechaun 🤣

@dekker @MarchMadnessMBB @TomBrady you’re up! We need you, man.

Do I have to scream this each year until I am red in the face?? @MarchMadnessMBB needs to hire someone at every venue to make sure the basketballs are acceptable to be played with. It turns the actual product into a completely random event.

@1LivingInCA @AdamJSchwarz @GavinNewsom Uhhhhh

@AdamJSchwarz @GavinNewsom Trump did not say he was the president. He also called him dumb. I think we can all agree that’s a true statement

Trump: "The President of the United States Gavin Newscum admitted that he has learning disabilities." Yes, he actually called @GavinNewsom the "President of the United States" while trying to insult his cognition.

@davidjglassMD Is anyone trying to combine some sort of myostatin inhibition with dystrophin gene therapy in Duchenne or other muscular dystrophies?

Humans with function-disrupting variants in the myostatin gene (MSTN) have increased skeletal muscle mass and strength, and less adiposity nature.com/articles/s4146…

@Recliningdad @3YearLetterman Whoever you are, you are awesome.

@3YearLetterman Only if you have a condiment belt with ketchup and ranch dressing in holsters and chick fil a sauce cups ready.

I am thinking about doing a travel show where I ride trains throughout the UK and Europe, sample their “food” and drink, and lecture them about American history and supremacy Think Anthony Bourdain except without fawning over the Europoors Who’d watch?

@drugmonkeyblog Unfathomable

I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that this was about the interests of oil companies.

@ESabro3 @BRSchuff He had a lot of games where he was too passive and reluctant to shoot.

@BRSchuff Good to know. I saw a few of his better games and was shook by how good he looked. Seems like somewhat of a heat check guy? Like when he’s really good, he can win you a game. But then goes through long stretches where he’s not doing much for you

@ESabro3 Folgueiras has been up and down, IMO. A few good games, but overall it feels like he’s left Iowa fans wanting more.
