What's not to love? Turns out it was a double bonus as getting ranked moved the dubious honor to Purdue of becoming the new Power 5 conference team with the longest streak of not being ranked in the Top 25. We are favored by 6.5 right now. I expect to see us win by more than 2 touchdowns. Go Hoosiers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s funny, my in-laws insisted on getting us a newspaper subscription last year for Xmas, even after we told them we didn’t want it and wouldn’t read it.

Only reason we get it is because we are offered a dirt cheap Senior discount for five days of the week.And when we threaten to stop it, they keep coming up with other offers. Last offer was a $40.00 gift card to our local grocery store. My wife enjoys the crossword puzzles. And the grocery store ads, along with the Target Sunday ad. Takes me about a minute to get through the sports page. Already know it. But like to check for high school scores. Our paper gets delivered around 2 in the morning. So any late games, such as Wyoming vs Colorado State this past weekend, doesn't get reported till the next day. Oh, and what does not go into recycling, I save to use as kindling for my charcoal firestarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 I'm not thaaat old, but to sound like one of the older guys, man, it's kind of sad to see the newspaper going away. I was a paper boy as a kid, great first job for a kid, made good money delivering papers all over the neighborhood, while getting to know the neighborhood people and the college guys in their rentals. The metro (train) into school and later work in DC, everyone reading the paper, or the bullet train to NYC. Now everyone's on their phones or tablets. Just not the same. So shout out to the newspaper as it slowly disappears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me a while to figure that one out. Kept re-reading and saying to myself..."what's wrong with that ?" Then I looked up at the record, and laughed. But you are right. What little I do read, I see errors all of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 I have been a lifelong subscriber to our Evansville C&P. But a few years ago, it was purchased by USA Today. Soon after,, the new owners closed the local office and now our paper comes out of Louisville! Our "local" sports news and scores now shows up in the paper 2 days later! Sad.......

Reacher Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 I got the Chicago Tribune delivered to me while at IU. Subscribed for many years. Now, I get the once a week local paper but probably won't renew as it often goes unread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicago Sun Times bought the GPT. And kept up the integrity of the paper. Then, the Chicago Tribune took over. And most, if not all I get is Chicago news. At least I still have what used to be the Hammond Times, now called the NWI Times to get news out of the "Region". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to cancel our subscription because the monthly fee kept going up and up. So, when I called, they knocked the fee down in half.

milehiiu Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 What will it take for IU to make the top 25 ? I guess it takes a win over a previously #17 team. College basketball rankings: Michigan State falls out of Top 25 And 1 after loss to Duke - CBSSports. IU in MSU out IU is in at 17. FSU drops one slot. Deservedly so. Considering their second half comeback against, the now current #17 team. Job well done. Despite the loss to IU. And yes, FSU has a very honorable coach. A disaster for MSU. Considering where they started the season out , and where they are now today. Reminds me of the saying...."It's not where you start, but where you end up. " GO HOOSIERS !

I watched a fair amount of that game, and it appeared to me that all you have to do is shut down Winston, and the snake is dead. There were several possessions that Duke didn't even allow Winston to touch the ball, much less do anything with it. MSU seemed lost without Winston's leadership and control of the offense.

I haven't watched much of MSU, but the few bits of the game I did see Duke was almost even doubling Winston to get the ball out of his hands and it was pretty much over from there. They seem to really miss not having Josh Langford and of course Nick Ward deciding to leave early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
