Relax. You win the point. Me bad for diverting topic, then ESA cheapshot. You great for eloquently calling me a-hole (shades of my visits to GIA). I’ll deposit a few more “sorry’s” now. Redeem them on future comments I post that may offend you. Have a great weekend.
well you still have to follow rules and they have some in college!!NO GAMBLING!!
Your gracious backhanded apology is accepted.
I would disagree that having to register for a future draft does not equal actually drinking and gambling. The Feds set 18 as the age where you could be called upon, regardless of the potential need. They could have made it 21 but didn't. As a fan of consistency, drinking should go along with possibly putting your life on the line, regardless of the remoteness of that possibility. Hell, Barry McGuire noted a similar disparity for voting almost 60 years ago, the age got changed, and society hasn't vanished (Interestingly, the drinking disparity didn't exist for chunks of America back then). Let 18 year-olds legally have a beer again gosh darn it! What are we, a bunch of old schoolmarms?! 👵
1970 Draft #13. Watched the draft down in what later became the Phyrst. #13 was a ticket to the Nam.
I was # 10 in the draft held in December of 1969. By March I was in basic training at Ft. Dix.
The US is the 3rd worst in the world with drinking and driving. Drinking and driving is the one of the reasons the age was raised to 21 and it had the desired effect. Also, countries in Europe, for example, don't have a driving culture but mass transit culture. There are also harsher penalties.
Penn State doesn't just train gold medalists on the mat.
So what you're saying is: Iran is safer than Iowa.
I'm confident raising it to 30 would have a similar outcome. How about 40?
I enjoyed my workout at Paris Island. Thanks for your service. All in all it was a good deal as military mindset has served well.
I’ve told friends boot camp was a great experience looking back but I wouldn’t want to do it again. Our senior DI had us double timing and singing cadence songs most mornings out where Ft Dix bordered McGuire AFB. He’d tell us we’d be on those birds in 4 months headed to Nam to k- - - Charly. Then one day he says, “Looks like you boys may not be going to Vietnam after all.”
I dont know, but I wish I would have bet on Ramos.Seven more Iowa and ISU football players charged, no wrestlers this round.
I imagine this is going on pretty much everywhere and only Iowa officials have bothered to investigate. It would be wise for programs everywhere to have a sit down with their players and let them know how easily this could be them if state officials copy Iowa's playbook.
More Iowa, ISU players charged in betting probe
Four more Iowa State football players and three people from Iowa's program have been charged in the state's investigation into sports wagering, which alleges that several athletes placed bets on games in which they played.www.espn.com
Wonder if they are concentrating on athletes in fall sports, so the teams can adjust to who they'll lose. Then get around to wrestling and basketball.Seven more Iowa and ISU football players charged, no wrestlers this round.

Online sports wagering wasn't legalized in Iowa until a few years after Ramos had left.
No worries Tikk, appreciate your first hand knowledge😉
I guess all I did was to show some data and then agree with you on a point.
Well, why should they worry? It's not like the top half of our lineup is that good. ;-)
“That’s 4 likely national champs out of the lineup. The Hawks can’t catch a break!”
We know you made that up because of "likely."
Really bad timing for Iowa WBB to be such a great story and seemingly destined for a championship - at the same time sports gambling getting put under a microscope. What Iowa student wasn’t getting irrationally exuberant this spring?
My guess is Spencer. He seemed to have a rough March, lol.
And somewhere in Iowa City, Tom Brands is nervously chewing on a sneaker and Vodka is drunkenly cursing and telling everyone that Cael is responsible for their misfortune….
