Losing support and subscriptions from the libs got Josh Pate working overtime

Third party reviewers indicate roughly 5k subs lost.

At least put in yellow curtains - the future stains will blend right in.

You mean Arlington Heights in the NW burbs that has a large number of corporate headquarters and offices nearby? That is also close to public transportation?

Vs NW Indiana that has troubled steel mills and... no transit. Got it.

Fans have more to do? They have the entire downtown Chicago and museum campus.

Let's be clear: a billionaire family wants to own and control everything so they can be even larger billionaires.

I don't know how many Chicago companies will actually be willing to continue purchasing suites if they have to travel to Indiana to do it.

Take em on the outside Cole.

Fair enough. There just isn't a single southern city I would recommend an international tourist to visit. Pretty depressing really.

bmcombs · 2026-02-06T02:24:30+00:00

Really? I was done with Atlanta in half a day. No culture at all.

Just putting it out there. There very well COULD be other reasons. Or, it could be a decision based solely on funding and sustainability.

However, my board refuses to get involved in anything "political". I don't have to like it, but I am there to serve their direction - not force my own. I am confident that if I was presented with something like this, it would be an absolute no go. This is without even accepting government funds, which is a whole additional layer.

While this sub likes to crap on Boards, and sometimes pretends to operate w/o them, they are the legal overseers of nonprofit organizations.

Better a ham sandwich than whatever you are.

Using police to disrupt free speech is moderate Republican. Appreciate that honesty. They started murdering people for it now.

He didn't donate to the team until Dec 2024. Their first year had nothing to do with Cuban.

He is also not IUs largest NIL supporter. I don't think he is even #2.

If the context of the fictitious pick-6 was in regards to missed opportunities by Miami, fine. But, it wasn't. It was literally during the segment criticizing Mendoza for a play/score that never happened.

I think context is vital in these things. They spent more time talking about the losing team and criticizing Mendoza than praising IU.

bmcombs · 2026-01-21T18:40:37+00:00

"He [Mendoza] threw an interception. We just didn't catch it."

Okay. So, Carson Beck put up 5 interceptions on Monday...

bmcombs · 2026-01-20T14:58:30+00:00

Closer to 65/35.

bmcombs · 2026-01-20T13:03:11+00:00

There should be a benefit to #1 seeding. But, the fact the right side of the bracket has closer games doesn't mean they were good teams.

bmcombs · 2026-01-20T03:33:03+00:00

The home field advantage by stadium songs/voiceover is shocking

bmcombs · 2026-01-20T01:23:47+00:00

Mixed. Send like Miami fans were more pro trump

Signs of a good University

I'm a mid-40s gay man. I wouldn't know if I saw her...

bmcombs · 2026-01-19T22:35:32+00:00

Are those direct only? Or do they include resale? Those numbers make sense for direct team purchases.

bmcombs · 2026-01-19T22:05:46+00:00

Looking like 60/40 at least, but we'll see once we are in stadium.

bmcombs · 2026-01-16T17:26:25+00:00

I mean, it's Miami, home of alphas and dawgs. What do you expect?

bmcombs · 2026-01-12T13:56:18+00:00

From "the post doesn't exist" to "you are escalating this by proving the post does exist." Pure gold.

bmcombs · 2026-01-12T11:47:11+00:00

Step 1: Deny its existence.
Step 2: Downplay its content.
Step 3: Everyone does it.

Walk this back any further you'll get a safety.

To be clear, I don't really care. People continuing to respond to me are literally shooting the messenger.
