  1. Rocky reminds me of Dane Fife. It's good to have him back.
  2. Officer Obie loves a Kopp. I'm really liking this team. Mike Woodson has been a home run hire. Go Hoosiers.
  3. Rocky One is the only one worth watching. Personal favorite. Rocky2... maybe, if it's a rainy Saturday and there is no golf on TV.
  4. He's not leaving the NBA. This was the ideal situation for Stevens to come back to the college ranks. If he gets fired by the Celtics (I don't see that happening) he'll get another job in the NBA without doubt. Good for Stevens.
  5. Cal makes $10 million a year to win 9 games. Great gig if you can get it. *edit- closer to $8 million base with another million or so in bonus pay. Still a sweet deal to roll the ball out on the court.
  6. I didn't even know that 'Race' is one of our players. Race isn't even a name. I'll try and keep up. 😀 Lol.
  7. I really hope this works out and IU becomes relevant again. I only have so many years left on this earth. Unless I change my diet.
  8. This has the feel of Lovie Smith at Illinois.
  9. JFK would be 130 years old by now... but I guess anything is possible. 🤫
  10. https://www.amazon.com/Cancer-Ward-Novel-FSG-Classics/dp/0374534713 I'm going to order it. I just hope it's in english.
  11. Thanks. I will definitely check that out. I mean that.
  12. That's impressive. From now on I'm gonna stick to 15th century German philosopher questions. 🤨
  13. I was going to say Reggie Jackson but that's not it. He hit 3 home runs in the same World Series game off 3 consecutive pitches from 3 different pitchers, but apparently not grand slams.
  14. Same here. I've always liked Russian art and literature from the early 20th century. I don't speak Russian and I'm certainly not a Russian scholar, but I studied art and literature in college. I have a soft spot for the people portrayed in Babel's stories.
  15. This book has sat next to every toilet I've owned for at least the past 3 decades, since college, and it looks like it. I've been told that it is too disgusting looking to re-enter polite society, so next to the toilet it stays. I wipe it with Lysol every now and then. I love reading and re-reading it. It's a collection of daily life stories from WW1 era Russia, during the war and after. Lots of suffering and vodka. Babel was executed in one of Stalin's purges in 1940.
  16. Dumb lucky and drunk. Trifecta from hell.
  17. My Dad taught me to swim by throwing me in a pool. I kicked and spouted and screamed but eventually I kept my head above the water. The man was a genius. LOL. This is a true story, on a dare I swam into the middle of the Ohio River from the Evansville riverfront and touched a barge as it was passing by and swam back. It was one of the dumbest things I've ever done. I miss being young and stupid.
  18. I used to Taco Bell. Burrito Supreme was my thing. That was a long time ago. I've gotten smarter.
