cops died because of jan 6. many were ashamed. but cops died in fact so you can make a big deal on the day they died but many were beaten senseless and committed suicide. the fact you are more worried about biden getting the date wrong cheapens the death of those officers that died and or were hurt. good grief.maybe this is a cheap shot but i am so tired of hearing ANY kind of bull about jan 6. and your side was more interested in taking up for the perps and the dead girl who was told to stop several times than the people who died that did not have a choice. she made her choice. the cops had a job to do.

ok wed i was not coming at you so chill. i was just giving reasons why. as far as i am concerned you can say anything you want. we might fight over it but you have your right to say what you want. again this was not me coming with you but agreeing and adding a disclaimer like i always do. people do not realize when you post as many articles as i do i cannot keep up with all the convo's. this time YOU jumped scooter. ok?

ok now we have all three QB's up with some kind of highlights so you guys can compare or whatever. i just want a winner i do not care who it is.

we have a threat started by stat tiger on robby which is much appreciated but to be fair i threw this in. lets look back and see what tj does well since i am sure they will not show the bad. unless he cannot run at all i feel like freeze could work wonders and bring out the best tj has to offer.

freeze growing a beard..........

slow news or maybe a popular click bait. i just post the articles. some people might enjoy it . shrugs......who knows. that is not my job.

i trust you on baseballl coach.............

i think rob needs to grow some emotionally. he and tank got into a time or two and he would sit on the bench upset when he should be coaching. i do not mean this as a slight but the film is there other than the tank thing. again just an observation. i hope they all do great as we will be better for it.

i have read that cows are one of the biggest problems among many with global warming. so who know what will work? i believe if we all found a super cheap and sustainable fuel would be great in many ways. no fighting over oil to me is a biggie as well as pollution. i still get sad on somedays they advice not swimming in certain rivers. the coosa is one. And that brings up the fact how harmful coal is.

I saw where Santos told Alabama we should do away with state income tax like florida has. my question is how do they make up the difference? more sales tax? and a ton or reasonable? thanx

mickey did you see the part about Fox lying about voting machines? grins. carlson is a racist. hell the son of the owner of fox news said this............“A news organization has an obligation – and it is an obligation – to report news fulsomely, wholesomely and without fear or favor. That’s what Fox News has always done and that’s what Fox News will always do,” he said. let me point out this is the biggest lie i have heard in a while other than trump.fox thinks their viewers are stupid with some of the crap they put out there. sure other news sources screw up but fox does this on purpose and thank god some of their lies are going to coat them some serious money.

Tucker Carlson firestorm over Trump texts threatens to engulf Fox News Edward Helmore in New York 5–7 minutes Photograph: Seth Wenig/AP Tucker Carlson was once seen as untouchable. Now the most popular TV host on American cable news is at the center of a firestorm threatening to engulf Fox News and also anger Donald Trump, whose conspiracy theory-laden political cause he has long championed and who his audience loves. Court filings attached to the $1.6bn Dominion Voting Systems defamation suit accuse Fox News of allowing its stars to broadcast false accusations about rigged voting machines in the 2020 presidential election. Related: Donald Trump Access Hollywood tape can be used in civil rape trial, judge rules The documents contained numerous emails detailing the private views and concerns of senior Fox management and its stars, which often seemed at odds with what they were publicly broadcasting to their audience. While anchors Lou Dobbs and Maria Bartiromo have been singled out for pushing false claims of a fraudulent election, the fallout has landed primarily on Carlson. In group chats obtained by Dominion, the network’s biggest names – Carlson, Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity – appeared to doubt claims of election fraud that were featured prominently on the network. At the same time, Fox’s owner, Rupert Murdoch, said in a court deposition that anyone who knowingly allowed lies to be broadcast “should be reprimanded, maybe got rid of”. So far, Fox is standing by its stars. On Thursday, Lachlan Murdoch, Murdoch’s eldest son, heir apparent and executive chairman and chief executive of Fox Corporation, voiced support for management, its roster of stars and backed Fox New’s editorial standards. “A news organization has an obligation – and it is an obligation – to report news fulsomely, wholesomely and without fear or favor. That’s what Fox News has always done and that’s what Fox News will always do,” he said. That might not wash with many observers and media critics. But probably of equal concern, especially for Carlson, are some of the private opinions voiced about Trump. The Dominion lawsuit revealed a text from Carlson declaring: “I hate him passionately.” Nor is that the only political fight Carlson became mired in last week. Carlson was directly criticized by the White House deputy press secretary, Andrew Bates, for describing the January 6 rioters as “orderly and meek … sightseers” as he began broadcasting footage from the insurrection handed to him by Republican House speaker Kevin McCarthy. Ironically, news of Carlson’s antipathy for Trump broke around the same time the ex-president was praising Carlson as doing a “great job” in his presentation of Capitol security video. Many people – including some Republicans – reacted with outrage to Carlson’s broadcasts, which chimed with a broader far-right push in the US to recast the January 6 attack on the Capitol as an overly enthusiastic demonstration and the hundreds of people jailed for it as political prisoners. The White House, Bates said, “agrees with the chief of the Capitol police and the wide range of bipartisan lawmakers who have condemned this false depiction of the unprecedented, violent attack on our constitution and the rule of law – which cost police officers their lives”. The Guardian contacted Fox for comment but received no reply. Carlson, for his part, has been unapologetic. He claimed the clips offered “conclusive” evidence that Democrats and the select committee that organized last year’s January 6 hearings misinformed the public about what had taken place. Some experts see the current crises at the network as serious, as it seeks to keep a Trump-loving audience glued to its screens – no matter the cost, and no matter what its executives privately think. “They feel that they have to appease a certain audience they’ve trained to expect a certain kind of information flow. And at the same they see that if you take it too far, you risk serious legal and financial liability – to say nothing of embarrassment that comes when internal communications are exposed,” said Bill Grueskin, a faculty professor at Columbia Journalism School. The news-opinion formula worked for Fox News through the Trump presidency, but in the aftermath of Trump’s election fraud claims and the Capitol riot, it is starting to show signs of strain, Grueskin said. If Fox managers and anchors doubted Trump’s election fraud claims and went along with them to maintain ratings dominance, particularly over other emerging rightwing outlets, their anxieties were confirmed when Fox News viewers fled after it declared Arizona for Joe Biden. “The Murdochs think about this almost exclusively in terms of ratings, audience and money,” said Grueskin. “If they were concerned about Tucker Carlson’s truthfulness, they might have done something about this months or years ago.” And they might be right. After Dominion filed internal Fox News communications last month viewership rose by 2.4%, compared with total viewership for the first full week of February. More so, Carlson likes controversy. He remains hugely powerful, and may be beyond the reach or will of the organization to rein in. He has survived controversies over racist comments and his embracing of tenets of white nationalism. Fox News primetime anchors, particularly Carlson and Hannity, exert so much power in that organization that even the Murdochs have to dance around it, Grueskin said. “It goes beyond Tucker Carlson,” he says. “Rupert Murdoch may be the smartest media person in the world, but you can’t fix this problem they’ve created for themselves.”

Staying local: Auburn to open NCAA Tournament in Birmingham Taylor Jones ~2 minutes The Auburn Tigers will open their run toward the NCAA Final Four with the closest thing to a home-court advantage they could ask for. After finishing the regular season with a 20-12 record, Bruce Pearl and his squad learned their NCAA Tournament fate on Sunday. The Tigers earned the No. 9 seed in the Midwest Region and will compete just 112 miles from home at Legacy Arena in Birmingham for the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament. Auburn’s first draw of the tournament is No. 8 Iowa, who finished the season with a 19-13 record and ended their run in the Big Ten Tournament with a second-round loss to Ohio State last Thursday. The Tigers and Hawkeyes will battle on Thursday in Birmingham at 5:45 p.m. CT for a chance to face the winner of No. 1 Houston/No. 16 Northern Kentucky on Saturday. Auburn will head to the NCAA Tournament for just the 12th time in history this season, and for the fourth time under Pearl. Pearl has led the Tigers to a 6-3 record in NCAA Tournament games.

Heartbreak in Athens: A big one gets away from Auburn softball team Phillip Marshall ~4 minutes Maddie Penta suffered her first loss of the season Saturday. (Photo: Auburn University) No losses hurt worse than when a team believes it has victory in its grasp and lets it get away. And that is what happened to Auburn at the end of a long day Saturday at Jack Turner Stadium in Athens, Ga. With the series tied at a game apiece after Auburn won 6-5 Friday and lost 5-0 in the first game of a Saturday doubleheader, the Tigers jumped all over Georgia starter Kylie Macy for four runs in the top of the first. With ace Maddie Penta in the circle, it seemed a series win was there to be had. But Georgia, the SEC’s home run leader, had other ideas. The Bulldogs hit three out, including a two-run shot that tied the game with one out in the seventh and a walkoff in the bottom of the 10th. The Tigers, as it turned out, needed one more run. They had more hits than Georgia, but they never got that run. Penta battled for 9 2/3 innings, but she took her first loss of the season. Georgia celebrated a 5-4 victory and won the series between ranked teams two games to win. “It was two great teams going at it, and somebody had to win,” Auburn Mickey Dean said. But Dean was not happy with the way the final game unfolded. “We didn’t finish some innings out on defense and in the circle,” Dean said. “I think they scored four of their five runs with two outs. We had two hits from the second inning until the fifth. When you jump on a team 4-0, you have a chance to build on that. We didn’t do any building. But it is lessons learned and things we can get better at. Auburn wasted no time getting to Macy. Nelia Peralta led off with a single and scored on a throwing error by the catcher. KK McCrary had a run-scoring single. Carlee McCondichie drove in two more with a ringing double but was thrown out at third to end the inning. Georgia got a run in the bottom of the first and turned to Shelby Walters, Friday night’s starter. She kept the Tigers at bay until the 10th, when Madison Kerpics, who pitched a complete game shutout in Saturday’s first game, retired two batters and got her second win of the day. Auburn led 4-2 going to the bottom of the seventh. Pinch-hitter Jaydyn Goodwin singled to right. Ally Kurland, who was thrown out at second to end Friday night’s game, hit a 1-1 pitch over the centerfield fence to tie the game at 4-4. It stayed that way until the bottom of the 10th. In the 10th, leadoff hitter Dallis Goodnight grounded out. Sara Mosley struck out swinging. And then, on a 1-1 pitch, Jayda Kearney ended it with her eighth home run. Bri Ellis and Makayla Packer each had three of Auburn’s 10 hits to lead the offense, but after the first inning, they went for naught. In the first game, Kerpics dominated Auburn’s hitters from start to finish, giving up just two hits and striking out 10. Auburn starter Shelby Lowe took the loss. 20COMMENTS With Saturday’s losses, Auburn fell to 21-5. Georgia improved to 20-6. Just ahead for the Tigers is probably the most challenging weekend of the season. Off from SEC play, they go to Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, where they will play Weber State and two games each against No. 24 Northwestern and No. 1 Oklahoma. ">247Sports

al.com What to know about Iowa, Auburn’s NCAA Tournament 1st-round opponent Published: Mar. 13, 2023, 7:00 a.m. 7–9 minutes There was a wave of excitement that took over Auburn’s locker room when the CBS broadcast revealed the Tigers as the ninth seed in the Midwest Region, with their opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament slated for Birmingham. It never gets old, seeing the team name flash on the official bracket; it’s a validation of a year of work for players and coaches alike — even when NCAA Tournament trips become more commonplace, as has been the case for Auburn of late under Bruce Pearl. The Tigers are making their fourth March Madness appearance in the last five postseasons and second in a row; the program had eight total tournament appearances in its history prior to 2018. Read more Auburn basketball: Everything Bruce Pearl said about Auburn’s NCAA Tournament draw, facing Iowa Breaking down the NCAA Tournament’s Midwest Region, Auburn’s path Goodman: March Madness? In Birmingham, prepare for full-on crazy “I’ve always believed in life, it’s easier to get it going than it is to keep it going,” Pearl said. “And so, I’m glad we have this opportunity.” That opportunity will take Auburn for a quick jaunt up Highway 280, where it will face a rather unfamiliar opponent in the opening round at Legacy Arena. Auburn (20-12) will face eighth-seeded Iowa (19-13) on Thursday at 5:50 p.m., with the game airing on TNT. The matchup will mark the first ever between the two programs on the hardwood. Understandably, after the initial excitement subsided Sunday evening at Neville Arena, Auburn’s players began to wonder about their unfamiliar opponent. Pearl and his staff had yet to get a chance to dig deep on the Hawkeyes, but he knew one thing right away that he relayed to his team. “Just right off the bat, (I told them) that they were one of the best offensive teams in the country,” Pearl said. “There have been times this year where we’ve been good defensively, but there have been times where we haven’t. So, we’re going to have to find a way to guard them. But they were very excited.” Just how good have the Hawkeyes been on offense? According to KenPom, Iowa is third nationally in adjusted offensive efficiency (120.5 points per 100 possessions, adjusted for tempo). The Hawkeyes, led by 13th-year head coach Fran McCaffery, are averaging 80.6 points per game, which is 17th-best in the country this season. Leading scorer Kris Murray averages 20.4 points per game, which is good for the 21st-best mark in Division I this year. Here’s what else you need to know about Auburn’s opening-round opponent, starting with Iowa’ NCAA team sheet: Iowa team sheet NET rating 39th Average NET win 114th Average NET loss 74th Average opponent NET rank 26th Average opponent NET 98th Record (vs. Division I) 19-13 Conference record (including tournament) 11-10 Nonconference record 8-3 NET strength of schedule 23rd NET nonconference strength of schedule 126th Quadrant 1 record 4-7 Quadrant 2 record 9-3 Quadrant 3 record 1-2 Quadrant 4 record 5-1 -- Iowa enters the tournament with a 19-13 overall record that included an 11-9 mark in Big Ten play during the regular season. The Hawkeyes finished fifth in the Big Ten this season and lost their opening game of the conference tournament to 13th-seeded Ohio State last week. -- Iowa’s best win of the season was at home against Iowa State on Dec. 8. The Cyclones finished the year ranked 20th in NET, and the Hawkeyes won that game, 75-56. -- Iowa’s best road win this year is against Indiana on Feb. 28. The Hoosiers are ranked 30th in the NET. -- Iowa’s worst loss came in nonconference play, when it fell to Eastern Illinois at home on Dec. 21. Eastern Illinois, which is ranked 344th in NET, won that game 92-83. It’s Iowa’s only Quad 4 loss of the season. -- Fran McCaffery is in his 13th season as head coach at Iowa, where he has gone 259-171, winning 60.2 percent of his games with the Hawkeyes. McCaffery has led Iowa to the NCAA Tournament in each of the last three postseasons (there was no tournament in 2020 due to the pandemic), and the program is making its seventh March Madness appearance overall during his tenure -- though the Hawkeyes have never made it out of the opening weekend during that stretch. “(He’s a) veteran that’s been there and done that,” Pearl said. “One of the most competitive, hardworking, great family man, great father, great teacher as head coach, and a brilliant offensive tactician.” -- Along with being third in the country in adjusted offensive efficiency, according to KenPom, Iowa is 37th in adjusted efficiency margin (plus-15.6). By comparison, Auburn enters the tournament 29th in adjusted efficiency margin (plus-17.45). -- For as good as Iowa has been offensively this season, the same can’t be said for its defense. The Hawkeyes are 167th nationally in adjusted defensive efficiency (104.9), per KenPom. Opponents average 74.4 points per game while shooting 47.4 percent against Iowa this season, the latter of which is tied for the 14th-worst mark nationally and the second-worst among NCAA Tournament teams (only 16th-seeded Fairleigh Dickinson allows teams to shoot at a higher clip than Iowa this season). Iowa also allows teams to hit 36.6 percent of their 3-point attempts, which is the 30th-highest mark in the country. -- Iowa is 1-3 this season in neutral-site games, with the lone win coming against Clemson the day after Thanksgiving in the Emerald Coast Classic in Niceville, Fla. -- The Hawkeyes have five players who average double-figure scoring this season: Kris Murray (20.4 points per game), Philip Rebraca (14.1), Tony Perkins (12.5), Patrick McCaffery (10) and Payton Sandfort (10). -- Iowa leading scorer Kris Murray is a first-team All-Big Ten selection and earned third-team All-America honors from Sporting News. Pearl recruited Murray’s father, Kenyon Murray, to Iowa in the early 1990s when Pearl was on Tom Davis’ staff. -- Speaking of staff connections: Iowa assistant coach Matt Gatens previously worked on Pearl’s staff at Auburn as a graduate assistant during the 2017-18 season, which was the year the Tigers made their first NCAA Tournament appearance under Pearl. Gatens, whose father Mike was one of Pearl’s close friends while he was an assistant at Iowa, assisted in travel, development, scouting, video and camps for Auburn during his time on the Plains. “I’ve already texted Matt and told him I’ve changed all the play calls, and I’ve changed all my signals, and we’re not running that anymore,” Pearl said with a laugh. -- Iowa is one of the best teams in the country in terms of taking care of the ball. The Hawkeyes turn it over on just 12 percent of their possessions, which is tied for the third-best mark in all of Division I this season. Iowa is also 35th nationally in assist percentage (58.1 percent) “Iowa, as a team, will be one of the best offensive teams we’ve played,” Pearl said. “No. 3 in offensive efficiency. They play the 31st-fastest tempo. They make eight 3′s a game. They’re No. 8 in the country at taking care of the ball, as far as their assist-turnover ratio. They just don’t turn it over. They get a shot off before they turn it over. Thirtieth in the nation in assists per field goal, and they’re a great offensive rebounding team. Defensively, they do a lot of different things. They’re multiple in how they defend. So just a lot of things, obviously, to prepare for.” Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group. Follow him on Twitter @Tomas_Verde.

247sports.com By the numbers: How Auburn matches up with Iowa Nathan King 5–6 minutes Manage Join Join One of the most consistent defenses in college basketball this season will be tested right off the bat in the NCAA Tournament. Ninth-seeded Auburn's first-round draw in March Madness is 8-seed Iowa, with the teams heading to the Birmingham subregion in the Midwest Region. The Hawkeyes are, according to KenPom, the best offense Auburn will have faced all season, at No. 3 nationally in adjusted efficiency and No. 14 in points per game. "They were excited about hearing their name called," Bruce Pearl said of his players after Selection Sunday. "They don’t know much about Iowa. I told them a little bit about Iowa, just right off the bat that they were one of the best offensive teams in the country. There have been times this year where we’ve been good defensively, but there have been times where we haven’t. So we’re going have to find a way to guard them." The Hawkeyes are led by one of the top scorers in college basketball: first team All-Big Ten forward Kris Murray, who's in the top 25 nationally at 20.4 points per game. Like Auburn, Iowa leans on a veteran lineup; six of its top seven scorers are juniors or seniors. As Pearl was quick to note, Iowa will attempt to speed up Auburn defensively, playing at the 57th-fastest tempo in the country. The Hawkeyes will also test Auburn's elite 3-point defense; they attempt 23.5 shots a game from beyond the arc, and they're 13-2 on the season when they make at least eight of them. Tipoff on Thursday is set for 5:50 p.m. CST on TNT. Here's an overview of how the Tigers and Hawkeyes match up statistically, and where Auburn might find the edge — or be at a disadvantage — depending on which team has the ball.
