His primary concern is that it could actually put more D districts at risk. And there’s precedent for his concern (MD’s initial 2020 maps prompted a court challenge and novel ruling). A Supreme Court dominated by Hogan appointees could make things much worse than the status quo.

This reminds me of an old Purdue game. 4-5+ yards in the air every attempt.

“He still needs polished.” Did you know this is an example of a regional dialect? I’ve always used linking verbs like “to be” in that kind of sentence. Recently I’ve noticed more Iowans using the past participle directly after verbs like “need,” Eg: “needs washed” instead of “‘needs to be washed.”

This is the heartbreaker that I suspect very few fans will remember accurately enough to concede that it made perfect sense. None of Iowa’s guards were fast to begin with, and at least two were severely injured. Nightmare matchup. I don’t believe a guard scored a point that game.

O’Grady’s arm was reaching & no longer vertical. Not a hard foul, but definitely contact and a foul by rule. All she has to do is stay vertical and she’s almost surely rebounding a miss.
