How much eligibility does Hemenway have?

We’re looking at a guy from Grease?  That’s pretty cool, but aren’t they all a little old?

 

 

I haven’t heard of any prospects from grease. Tell me more, tell me more. 

It’s weird that Purdue has started to embrace over signing. That used to be just a sleazy tactic used by other teams. They even had a name for it…

I can’t believe I lived to see Purdue embrace Creaning. I remember back when it was a dirty thing that only shady coaches would resort to.

Depends on what you consider “ugly?”

I think Painter did a really good job of putting the right pieces around Edey. Next year he will just have the pieces. His best bet would be to plug in another big, but there aren’t many (if any) other bigs as good as Edey. 

One of the more entertaining parts of this season has been watching Gregg Doyell turn into a huge Purdue fan and noticing he can’t even cover them without mentioning IU constantly. 
 

If it comes out that Cal is interested in Arkansas tomorrow a lot of UK fans may end up having a total eclipse of the heart.

Because it would be quite a choice to announce you are leaving before you even get a chance to play with your team in the tourney?

 

True, but he didn’t have to say anything. 
 

Him being pushed out makes the most sense to me.

As predictable as Kaleb Banks

 

 

I’d agree except for the weird announcement that he wasn’t leaving. I don’t know why he said that if there was even a chance he would leave.

So badass

Here is the final product. I do oxtail and tongue the same way most of the time; smoke to get bark and color, braise to get tender, shred and keep on heat to reduce liquid.

Looks awesome. Where did you oxtail?  Been wanting to try that forever. 

I usually get it at farmers markets. I’m pretty sure this batch is from 2 different farms that I got from different markets.

A quick perusal of IU boards would reveal a complete mistrust or worse of the BOTs and Administrators! And people say the fans have nothing to do with it!

I agree. Most of the fans on message boards are out there with their theories and need to have an ‘inside’ source. For the most part, the fans (including the ones not on the internet) are supportive of the players and program. The alumni base is big and there is always talk about being set after playing for IU. A good example is Leal already working in real estate. If you add in NIL I’m not sure UM (strictly as a program, settle down on coaching, style of play, etc.) I don’t think they have anything better. 

This seems like an interesting long term strategy. 

Doing some oxtails for the week. I smoked them for about an hour then moved to a pan with some beer, seasoning, and peppers. It is supposed to be based on pepper stout beef.

Grabbed the trimmings.. put them in the oven on 400, in a pan... 

Timed that with when the brisket would need them, adding them twice more during the warming part... 

Brisket was ready to come off the grill at 2AM... coolered until about 11AM.. I added renderings then.. had to keep warm until 4pm. I don't have an industrial warmer, like a restaurant would have... oven on 170, more renderings, added wirless thermometer around noon.. around 3pm the brisket was at 142... took it off, little more renderings.. wrapped back up and took it to my buddies. He lives 5 mins away. 

In a perfect world... it would have been coolered until about 7AM--- little more renderings, checked temp.. and served at 8AM-10AM. 

Sounds like you just made your own tallow. I’ve seen some people buy the special wagyu stuff, but I’m not convinced it makes much of a difference. 
The long hold is a key that a lot of the big bbq places do. I don’t think the method matters as long as it is held in the 140-160 range.

Who is leaving

Ant retweeted this. I don’t know who the guy is so so with the info what you’d like.

For any of the insiders that know the Queen recruitment...any chance he might rethink things? 5 transfers, more leaving....and from what Ant is saying no one is sticking around.

Is this at Maryland?

My first go around with a brisket on my (new to me) pellet smoker. Only done a couple in an electric. Yes, I know, a disservice to brisket....

Anyways--- buddy text me last weekend "If I buy a briskey will you smoke it" Told him, yeah sure, if he buys a bag of pellets, too... 

10hrs in the smoker, 8hrs in the cooler, and then about 4 hours in the over at 170 degrees (turning it off and on) to keep the meat at 140. 

Added the fat renderings back on the brisket after taking it off the smoker and after the 8hrs in the cooler. Went this route instead of beef tallow. 

Anyways, it was for a family gathering for my buddys family.. apparently they loved it. I went over there later and had a leftover plate... it was pretty good!! 

How did you do the rendered fat? I’m pretty that is all tallow is. 
The final product looks solid. It has a good bark and smoke ring and doesn’t look dry. 

Summary of speeches: 

STFU keyboard warriors. We haven’t given up. Gallo and Leal are back. Chill out. We aren’t done yet. 
 

edit to add that this doesn’t seem like a team that gave up and hates its coach. 

Duke fans throwing stuff on the court after a loss. After the backlash IU fans got for tweets I’m excited to see the media backlash. I’m sure it will be brutal and not at all ignored. I can’t imagine what they’ll say when you factor in the obviously dirty play by Filipowski. 
 

Will player safety still be important?

I just hope they give coach Cig support and it helps recruiting to have the stadium full especially the student section 

I’m confident they will. We have football season tickets and I was constantly impressed at the student section. I kept expecting it to be empty and it never was. 

Down around Louisville there is an air show every year for Thunder Over Louisville that happens 2 weeks before the Kentucky Derby. I’m not very into planes but they always have some cool ones. If you’re in the area it is worth checking out.

I can say this with almost certainty. Woodson doesn't care what the roster looks like after next year. He's all in on winning next year.

That is just the reality of the situation. I think he knows that if next year is bad there are no more years. 
Focusing on making next year as good as it can be also gives him a chance to gain some momentum. 
 

With all the talk about how teams struggle that rely too much on the portal, it would be pretty impressive to have a good year. 
 

With all the issues mentioned, this isn’t a concern to me. I look at it as taking one step at a time.

We discussed on page 30 of this thread back in early December. No shock here at all.

Still thinking both of those guys you mentioned end up in the portal?

She announced it today. That’s some great news for next year.
