DNC Flies Banner Over Michigan Game Mocking J.D. Vance, Project 2025
Democrats have denounced Project 2025 in hundreds of ads, printed it in oversized book form as a convention prop, and mentioned it in seemingly every speech.

Democrats have denounced it in hundreds of ads and billboards, printed it in oversized book form as a convention prop, and mentioned it in seemingly every speech and press statement.

Now, they will take their campaign against the conservative Project 2025 blueprint, written by allies of Republican Donald Trump, to the skies above college football stadiums in key swing states....

... Saturday’s gambit is putting Democratic messaging over stadiums with a total capacity of 380,000-plus, with tens of thousands of fans more in the vicinity of each game.

“JD Vance ‘hearts’ Ohio State + Project 2025,” reads the message going over Michigan Stadium, suggesting Trump’s running mate loves the project as much as he famously does Michigan’s hated archrival.

In Wisconsin, which is hosting South Dakota, the message is “Jump Around! Beat Trump + Project 2025,” a nod to fans jumping with enough ferocity to shake Camp Randall Stadium when House of Pain’s “Jump Around” plays between the third and fourth quarters.

Georgia, hosting Tennessee Tech, and Penn State’s Bowling Green matchup are getting more general messages urging fans to “Beat Trump, Sack Project 2025 — though weather patterns along the flight route made it uncertain whether the Georgia banner would fly....

Excellent!

You're going to get haunted now

[O Really]

Sosmetime in the past in this thread, we had a discussion regarding teams playing patsy opponents and as I recall, I was generally negative about schools selling their under-skilled and under-sized players as cannon fodder for an NFL-quality team looking for an easy win. Billy.p may have supported it, I don't remember. Anyway, yesterday's Notre Dame game may have altered my opinion. Maybe it's not cannon fodder. Maybe it's opportunity those kids won't get very often during their second-third tier college career. Maybe, like lottery players, the chance of winning overcomes rationality. After all, occasionally somebody really does win the Powerball.
Go Huskies!

Consequences -

Auburn's Payton Thorne says bettors asking for money after losses

... "They're definitely not sending cash," Thorne, who had four passes intercepted in the 21-14 loss to Cal on Saturday, said with a chuckle. "It's funny. When they lose money, they want their money back. But when they win money on a parlay, no one's ever sent me any of the money."...

People sure are rude.
