I’ve already wasted enough time responding to your ridiculous posts. Yes, antisemitism is a growing problem in the Dem Party. Go ahead and talk about Charlottesville, but these were local yokels coming out of the woods. The Dems have actual members of Congress who can’t condemn the rape and murder of civilians on Oct 7, who support chants of “From the River to the Sea”, and who are generally anti- American in their outlook.
As for your pres rankings, I’m sorry I hurt your feeling my pointing out the bias of those involved. It’s got little to do with integrity and everything to do with common sense. There is a liberal echo chamber and extreme pressure by the conformists of the Left. Too bad you can’t see what’s happening
Yes, there is a liberal echo chamber. Multiple, in fact. You're not accurately identifying one here. With no knowledge other than that you don't like the results, you're impugning the process, assuming bias where academics have checked each other and done their best to look at it without bias. Of course a ranking of "best" or "worst" will be subjective. It does not follow that people are just doing it emotionally.

Here's a much more respectable critique of presidential rankings by the Cato Institute (who despite being heavily biased to the right, is highly accurate with facts -- where applicable; this is an opinion piece), and a quote: "Self-described liberal and conservative scholars didn’t diverge much in their rankings of most presidents until Reagan. Our most recent presidents are more visible to the participants, and it’s hard to resist one’s personal preferences. Reagan, both Bushes, Obama, and Biden show sharp partisan divides. But not Trump, rated the worst president by liberals (really? worse than Wilson?) and 3rd worst by conservatives."

If it is true that Obama was in PA and told the blacks to vote for Kamala, then he is even worse than I thought. What a racist thing to say. I guess 3 terms as President weren't enough.
They think they own the Black vote. Dems the party of slavery and Jim Crow laws. Can’t have people thinking for themselves. It never occurs to the Obamas of the world that other Blacks may have a different set of values than they do

Week 8 - FSU-Duke - 7 p.m., 10/18 (Friday)

Oh good, another Friday night game!

Duke emerges from its off week with one day shorter rest than normal, given the Blue Devils play host to scuffling FSU on Friday night this week.

There will be full coverage here as the Blue Devils can knock a lot of things off the season goals list this week. A sixth win would lock up bowl eligibility in the middle of October; a win would mean a bounce-back game after losing at GT before the off week; Duke can beat FSU for the first time in program history; and come on, wouldn't it be hilarious if Duke notched a win over one of the ACC's malcontents? It's the only shot they've got, since Clemson isn't on the schedule this year.

The programming note is I'll be at Friday night's game with full coverage.

Those mid-term PFF grades will be posting early this week -- offense on Monday, defense on Tuesday. I'll link up the grades in this thread.

(For the record: I'll complain about Friday night games but truth of the matter is, they're going to be played, the TV money and exposure outweighs the drawbacks of not being able to get many recruits to the games, and most fans of a college team are going to watch their team instead of going to a local high school game. So, every program that isn't a blue blood is going to play in these games.)

I think last I checked Duke is in the top 20 for Nil but not the top ten . I could have changed . I like on Timo’s pod cast when they said it had a lot to do with building their brand beyond one season and a quick pay day ( not exact but it was something to that effect , sorry Timo for saying it wrong ).
Yeah I think that’s right. It’s bigger picture thinking. Miami offered a lot more money than Duke, but Duke is selling a lot more in the long run. That clearly helped us win out in the end.

Good podcast. So is Cam Boozer a generational talent? Sorry I couldn't resist. Looking forward to seeing both play.
Checked the North Carolina board, typical negative comments about our massive NIL $ and having boatloads of cash to pay players. (Yes because when I think massive NIL $ Duke instantly springs to mind) RR mostly just said it was expected. I do think our NIL is competitive, but likely not top 10. They seem to play together very well, which is always a plus.
