I actually enjoy watching a Purdue guy and an Illinois fan go back and forth on an IU board. Incredible! But, I guess after the season we are having I guess it's better than nothing.

I just re-read "Black Noon" by Art Garner about the 1964 race. I cannot recommend it highly enough, especially for anyone who remembers racing from the 50's and 60' s. The background material about drivers and owners alone is worth the read. "Al Unser Jr: A Checkered Past" is also excellent. The behind the scenes stuff makes these bigger than life drivers more human. For hard-core fans, Track Forum is a great sort of information. One poster, NIF I think is his username, provides great insight into the technical side of things from a crew members perspective. It's not a place for the faint of heart. Those guys can get a little rough.

IUPUI is no more. Just IU Indianapolis now.

Purdue has enough talent to win it all with the right match ups. They can also be an early exit with the wrong ones. All depends on the draw.

I fear it is humps all the way down.

I just want the top teams to quit looking at IU as a week off.

One of my favorite places in the world is at the top of the grandstand in turn four. Great view of the entire speedway and the skyline of downtown Indy. Nothing much better than a beautiful spring day at IMS (and a few cold ones).

I probably should have included all of the greater Indy area as fertile ground for recruits. Give the proximity to IU, I would think CCC will be a frequent visitor to the area.

Having lived in the community for over 40 years, I completely agree. For those who don't know, Carmel has the biggest high school in the state and their athletic program is second to none across the board. Their football team is always in the conversation for the state big school championship. Not relevant here, but Camel's girls swim team has the longest consecutive state championships string in the nation. I wouldn't scoff at anyone coming out of Carmel.

Now there's a name I haven't heard mentioned in a long time. I went to school with him one year in junior high school. He's definitely on the list of the five best shooters I've ever seen.

What do you want to see between now and May?

I'd move the winning Powerball ticket to no.1. -
I have grandkids who are constantly underdressed for the conditions. They have never experienced what it is like to be caught outside by some kind of problem unprepared. They don't understand layers or wearing gloves. It has to be a generational thing but ,growing up on a farm, it drives me crazy.

Curt Cignetti Hired as Indiana Head Coach
cthomas replied to KDB's topic in General Football Discussion
The narrative is definitely different with CCC. He seems to understand the psychology of the game as well as the mechanics. To me, there is nothing about him that is similar to our previous coach. -
Understatement of the year.

All true. They are among a handful of programs who are the gold standard of college football. But beating them starts with believing you can. I wouldn't want to coach a team that went into any game thinking it had already lost.
