Hopefully we have a chance here but things seem like they are headed North. No sources just a gut feel after following recruiting for 30 years. Weber already put in a good word for us it sounds like.

I know it has happened for me on other sports as well. I use to watch a lot of the NBA but today will only watch some Pacer games but nothing else. I hope that I don't get to that point with the college game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad had the same kind of things to say as i grew and and we have the same thing to say as our kids grow up. The game changes with the times and with the players and and younger fans. Time always leaves older generations behind, in all things. Its why its always called the good ole days. Nothing we can do about it other than yell at kids to stay off our lawns. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, I went to IU East in Richmond and it was a commuter college. On Mondays I would get home in time to watch the Big 8 game which is now the big 12. I then watched the Big West game at midnight since I didn't have class on Tuesday so I cod stay up late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a freshman at IU in 78-79, I had a small portable TV in my dorm room. I was able to get channel 2 out of Terre Haute and was able to watch a bunch of Indiana ST games during their undefeated season. I’d talk to other guys in the dorm about this amazing Larry Bird guy. They didn’t know who he was and didn’t care. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball has changed a lot and some of it not for the better. There is no running in the game. Most pitchers are lucky to get to the 6th inning. More strikeouts, more walks and more home runs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
