And that's it! FT in Bang Bus in Miami, YOUR Miami 45's (3-3) 110 Sacramento "Kings" (4-3)111
The "Kings" shot 51.2%. The "Heat" blew a 15-point lead in another 3rd quarter debacle, 17-37. Now 6 straight on the road in 17 days. WEEEE!
45's 78 Sac Town 85 End 3Q (17-37 3Q)
The Godgrandpa wanted to see his promising lineup of Nikola Jovic, Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, and Scary Terry Rozier for once play together healthy to see what he has. Whaddya think Godgrandpa? 3-2, looks heading for 3-3 against bottom halfers, blown out 3rd quarters, about to embark on 6 games in 11 days away from the Bus against Pho (5-1), Denver (3-3), Minn (3-3), Deetroit (3-5) and Indy dos (2-4).
You're not competitive Godgrandpa! You sucking hind tit! Have you seen enough? You'll be underdogs in those road games in three or four or five of those road games and likely will come home 5-6. Stand Pat, Pat, or do you think your roster will reload and take the league by storm? HARDY HAR HAR!
HT 45's 61 Sac Town 48
Now will see if the 45's can make it through a 3rd quarter without getting disarmed.
Official Prediction: Kamala Will Win
I predict that she will hold the Blue Wall states, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, lose all of the sunbelt swing states, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona; and lose Nevada. I predict that she will win a grainbelt state, Iowa, giving her 276 Electoral Votes.

Our Time
The history of our time will be written. It will be written either expansively as a great demarcation marking the end of the First Republic or, as was the MacArthur period was, a "grave constitutional crisis" come in a pulsing spasm of "ridiculousness", truncated to 2016-2024. Tomorrow we will see which it will be.

LITITZ, Pa. (AP) — Donald Trump gave a profane and conspiracy-laden speech two days before the presidential election, talking about reporters being shot and suggesting he “shouldn’t have left” the White House after his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden.
In remarks Sunday that bore no resemblance to his standard speech in the campaign’s closing stretch, the former president repeatedly cast doubt on the integrity of the vote and resurrected old grievances about being prosecuted after trying to overturn his defeat four years ago. Trump intensified his verbal attacks against a “grossly incompetent” national leadership and the American media, steering his rally in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, at one point on to the topic of violence against members of the press.
...
...argue that he can only lose to Democrat Kamala Harris if he is cheated, even though polls suggest a tight race.
Some of his allies, notably former chief strategist Steve Bannon, have encouraged him to prematurely declare victory on Tuesday even if the race is too early to call. That’s what Trump did four years ago, kicking off a process of fighting the election results that culminated in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
...
“It’s a crooked country,” Trump said. “And we’re going to make it straight. We’re going to make it straight.”
...
[In] his next speech a few hours later at an airport in Kinston, North Carolina, drifted between prepared remarks and familiar stories. Trump praised David McCormick, the businessman running for Senate in Pennsylvania, appearing to briefly lose track of his location but quickly recovering.
“Where’s David? Is he around some place?” Trump said. “You know we just left him. He’s a great guy.”

Call the Iowa Poll an outlier at your peril
Iowa was still considered by many a swing state in 2020 and the Siena/Times poll, their last in the state before election day, gave Biden a three-point lead and hope to all true blues. (NOT to the Biden campaign who didn’t fall for the bait there or in Texass.) Then the Iowa Poll came out. Trump +8. Actual vote: Trump +8.2. I don’t know why but nobody polls Iowa like the Iowa Poll.

Live from New York: Harris making surprise ‘Saturday Night Live’ appearance with election looming
Harris departed on Air Force Two after an early evening campaign stop on in Charlotte, North Carolina. She was scheduled to head to Detroit, but once in the air, aides said she’d be making an unscheduled stop and the plane landed at LaGuardia Airport in Queens.Harris arrived at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan, where SNL tapes, shortly after 8 p.m., enough time for a quick rehearsal before the show airs live at 11:30 p.m. It is the final SNL episode before Election Day on Tuesday.
Okay, these numbers ARE important to me, but not as important as 47%-43%😁

🕒 Last update: 8 p.m., Saturday, November 2. As you’ve probably heard if you follow polling closely, Ann Selzer — our highest-rated pollster — just came out with a survey showing Kamala Harris leading by 3 points in Iowa! Before you get your hopes up too much, another Iowa poll today from Emerson College had Trump ahead by 9 points instead. Still, Harris’s chances in Iowa roughly doubled from 9 percent to 17 percent.
However, the poll had little effect on our topline Electoral College numbers because Iowa has only a 1 percent chance of being the tipping-point state. In the world where Harris wins Iowa, she is probably also cleaning up elsewhere in the Midwest, particularly in Michigan and Wisconsin, in which case she’s already almost certain to win the Electoral College. So most of the time, it would be redundant.
Still, to have a prominent, high-quality pollster like this at a time when most other pollsters are herding toward the consensus suggests the possibility that other pollsters could be lowballing Harris. We’ll have a special edition Model Talk out later tonight with more.
IT'S WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kamala Harris now leads Donald Trump in Iowa — a startling reversal for Democrats and Republicans who have all but written off the state’s presidential contest as a certain Trump victory.
A new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows Vice President Harris leading former President Trump 47% to 44% among likely voters just days before a high-stakes election that appears deadlocked in key battleground states.
The results follow a September Iowa Poll that showed Trump with a 4-point lead over Harris and a June Iowa Poll showing him with an 18-point lead over Democratic President Joe Biden, who was the presumed Democratic nominee at the time.
“It’s hard for anybody to say they saw this coming,” said pollster J. Ann Selzer, president of Selzer & Co. “She has clearly leaped into a leading position.”
...
The poll shows that women — particularly those who are older or who are politically independent — are driving the late shift toward Harris.
“Age and gender are the two most dynamic factors that are explaining these numbers,” Selzer said.
...
...47% say they would vote for or already have voted for Kamala Harris and 44% for Donald Trump.
KAMALA LEADS IN IOWA!
This is not just some bogus poll, this is THE gold standard in Iowa, the Iowa Poll conducted by Ann Selzer. This is real as a heart attack!
The poll was due at 6 pm tonight and I left my computer on with the Des Moines Register page open all night but when I got up, I didn't remember why I had left my computer on and shut it down. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL, ELLES AND GEES!
Hmm. I thing that's good for us.
I think that's good for us. We don't need NC; I never thought we would win NC.

No. 11 Iowa State just lost to Texas Tech, 23-22!. I am so pleased. I am verily sick of these Big XII teams, K-State is the other, squeaking by inferior conference opposition. They're overrated, both of them. Speaking of: K-State (supposably 17th) leads 19-17, 4:21 to go, in Cow Town (3-5). BEAT 'EM COUGARS!

You know, Billy Naps does something right at FU. His teams play hard, they compete until the very end, and they seem to get stronger as the season wears on, i.e. after it's a failure. Take right now. The "Gators" and "Bulldogs" are tied 20-20, 6:17 left in the game, UGA with the ball. FU has led a lot of the game. They were 16.5 point dogs to the no. 2 team in the country. Now, they will probably lose. That's also part of Billy's team profile. But it's something that they do this, play hard, be competitive, get better with the season.
Something broke today in State College, Pa.
I really believe that. James Franklin will not be fired but he has never had the full support of the PSU faithful and today he lost another substantial part of the fan base that he had.

Sparty led 10-0 in this game. Indiana scored the last 47.

Turning point: Goal-line failure
...the end-of-game situation was particularly embarrassing.
...
Penn State needed a touchdown with a few minutes left...And they couldn’t cash in.
The Buckeyes took over, and from the 1-yard line, ran 10 straight times to move the chains, kill the clock and win the game. It was a maddening sequence for Penn State fans.
Cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Give Penn State coach James Franklin a new, dynamic offensive coordinator. Give him a five-star wide receiver off of Ohio State’s roster. Give him a 10-0 lead, a fumble that negates an OSU touchdown, and four downs to gain three yards that would tie the game.
And what do you get?
More of the same. The Buckeyes beat Penn State 20-13 on Saturday at Beaver Stadium, marking eight straight wins against a program that is supposed to be on (or at least near) their level. The Nittany Lions are 56-12 at home since hiring coach James Franklin, and five of those losses (compared to one win) came against Ohio State. Franklin has now lost 18 of his 21 games against top 10 opponents, and 10 of those losses have come against Ohio State. Penn State’s vaunted front seven typically feasts against an offensive line starting two players at new positions, but this group of newbies played for, well, you know.
The Buckeyes have dominated Penn State for a decade. But Saturday’s short-handed road win, during which the Buckeyes met — or Penn State failed to meet — almost every winning moment, stamped Ohio State’s ownership of this conference “rivalry.”
That is, if we can still use such a word to describe this game.
...Franklin’s program also earned every disbelieving head scratch from viewers wondering how Ohio State gained 176 rushing yards (4.4 per carry) with a shuffling, struggling offensive line against the nation’s 13th-ranked rushing defense entering Saturday’s game.
Ohio State ran 11 straight run plays — and the last 5:13 off the clock — to close this game.
...Drew Allar....committed to Penn State with a plan to prove Ohio State wrong for passing over an in-state star. But in eight quarters against the Buckeyes, Allar has led one touchdown drive (last year with 29 seconds left in Penn State’s 20-12 loss). He didn’t complete a pass to a wide receiver or tight end on Saturday until Penn State’s final first-half possession. New offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki and Ohio State transfer receiver Julian Fleming (one catch, four yards) have changed nothing about Penn State’s Buckeye fortunes.
What could? Penn State is 0-2 with 18 offensive points against the Buckeyes since dipping into Ohio for the highest-rated quarterback recruit in modern school history. They’ve lost eight straight games to OSU, four straight at home and two straight after holding the Buckeyes to 21 points or fewer (OSU has six such total wins in the Ryan Day Era). The Buckeyes spotted Penn State 14 points early thanks to quarterback Will Howard’s pick-six and fumble through the end zone. They gave PSU four downs to gain three yards for the tie in the fourth quarter. Then OSU gave the Nittany Lions five minutes to stop the run against an injured, out-of-position offensive line.
How did the Franklin’s team respond?
With more of the same. It blew a double-digit lead against Ohio State for the third time under his leadership. It failed to score on three basic goal-line run plays — then a fourth basic pass play — on their would-be game-tying drive. It allowed four first downs on OSU’s 11-play, run-only, 58-yard drive to close the game, and it likely left the stadium thinking, unironically, “this close.”
We shouldn’t be surprised anymore, and I’m not sure we should still consider this game a “rivalry.” Because since Grant Haley’s blocked kick from 2016, we know how this game ends.
Penn State enters the week with a strong record, impressive roster and a new wrinkle designed to beat big brother. But no matter how many “scares” they give the Buckeyes, they muster the same, underwhelming result every time:
An empty threat.
There is contempt for PSU in this writer's words. You can read it, you can feel it.
Franklin taunted by fan, exchanges with him
"3 losses in a row", the PSU fan appears to say, holding up 3 fingers.
Franklin is now 1-10 against Ohio. 1-10.
FT Albern 7 VandEEE 17 (+$5, -$5/day, +$20 season)
I ought to make a donation to Vanderbilt football. Without them I think I'd be in the red this season.
