Hold on! We might have Big Ten football after all.

You may not think this is politics but it is. Football is BIG MEDICINE in Ohio Michigan Wisconsin Pennsylvania and even Minnesota. Trump hung his hat on this just last week. He will declare a big victory if they vote to return to football —— BTW by all accounts it went pretty well yesterday for everyone else.

Sources: Big Ten revote on when to start football season could take place Sunday

The Big Ten's council of presidents and chancellors will meet Sunday to review the latest medical information and possibly vote again on when the fall football season can begin, sources told ESPN.

The medical subcommittee, co-chaired by Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour and Ohio State lead team physician Dr. Jim Borchers, will present the presidents with at least four rapid response antigen tests that could allow Big Ten teams to test daily for the coronavirus and significantly decrease the amount of necessary contact tracing. The latest information about myocarditis and its occurrence in athletes who test positive for COVID-19 also is expected to be shared, sources said.

"It's light-years different than it was five weeks ago," a conference source told ESPN on Friday.

The medical subcommittee includes four Big Ten athletic directors -- Michigan's Warde Manuel, Michigan State's Bill Beekman, Minnesota's Mark Coyle and Maryland's Damon Evans -- as well as team doctors and other medical experts from Illinois, Purdue, Michigan, Nebraska, Northwestern, Indiana and Maryland.

Whoa-oh ---"Show me how to fight for now"

Funny story. I’m at a Wawa on Thursday middle of the afternoon and this is on the sound system. I’m feeling it...getting my coffee and then the “Whoa-ohs” start.
In the song and at the gas station. There are about 30 people total in the store. I could see everyone head bobbing and moving to this. Almost a dance. The “whoa-ohs” got the the point that we all looked at each other and raised our hands each time.

“Show me how to fight for now” is a great lyric.


An extended version but it highlights the Whoa-ohs



Very cool version

D. L. Hughley's 9/11 "joke"

Other than one told by Al Franken this is the only humor I’ve heard about that day.

DL: I’m sitting at home that morning and my cousin calls me.

Cousin: You watching this shit?
DL: What shit?
Cousin: On TV.
DL: What channel?
Cousin: Any channel!

DL: you know it’s some shit when it’s on “any channel”.

Student Loans got moved back to January 2021?

I must have missed this.
Got this email this morning.





On Aug. 8, 2020, President Trump extended the 0% student loan interest rate and suspension of payments on federal student loans owned by the Department of Education (ED) until Dec. 31, 2020.

What does this mean?

You are not required to make payments on ED-owned loans until Jan. 1, 2021, and no interest will accumulate.
Payments you would have made, but are no longer required to make, will count toward Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) plan loan forgiveness.
Payments you would have made, but are no longer required to make, will count toward Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) if you have a non-defaulted Direct Loan and work full-time for a qualifying employer during the suspension. You will need to submit an Employment Certification Form that includes this period to receive credit for your employment during this suspension of payment period.
If you can continue paying your student loans while your loans are at 0% interest rate, your payments go farther toward reducing the principal balance of your loan amount once any outstanding interest has been paid. If you are already making voluntary payments nothing changes. If not, you may make voluntary payments by contacting us.

Fox & Friends this morning - but everyone did it

I flipped over to see how they were lying. They were running down a list of things Dems said

Gov. Cuomo said “don’t panic”
Nancy said “come down to China town”

Etc.

I’d guess that’s what the right wing is going with. F&F is usually a good indicator.
