Louisiana and most of the SE like Alabama, Miss. and Arkansas are always ranked in the bottom 10 of state rankings to live in. That includes crime and poverty levels and many more stats. So have you been to Louisiana? Do you think BK will live in an impoverished area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL The cold ain't the problem with South Bend, it is just the city. Man, that downtown area is horrid. My knees and back love the warm weather.

No I have not but been to most of the southern states. I feel dirty trying to defend ND since I don't like them. I hate the turn coat reputation of IU basketball fans that root for ND football.

It's certainly not TRYING to p*** you off or even annoy you. I'm going to argue my opinion until the bitter end, which I hope you will, as well. 40% of what I say should NOTTTT be taken literally. Like when I said "ND sucks" ... cmon, I don't seriously think that. I just think they are a good 1 or 2 rungs lower than 3 or 4 teams in the SEC, and I did find rumor in BK leaving ND. BUUUUUT... I did mention I think ND could come out better in the end. Said that multiple times, and I said I thought they were a top 8-14 program. I think that's fair for a team that hasn't won a title since 88. All I'm saying. I get you completely. These are conversations I would have had with the boys around a few beers back in my old days. I tend to be pretty sarcastic and over the years as a Coach I never once cussed at a ref but got plenty of T's due to sarcasim. Many others just went right over their heads. All in good fun and I get that many hate ND and thats fine there are plenty of things about them that frustrate me. 1 is not having won a title since 88. IU 89, Reds 91, . Thank God the Colts got 1 15 years ago. In all seriousness I think ND is a top 5 job and they are a top 10 team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He graduated the year before I got there. Big IU fan and I really like him and he is Aydens favorite teacher. He struggles in Art but his teacher is great with him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is southern Indiana, northern Indiana, and the Indy area. Greenfield=Indy area (it's in a county that touches Marion)... anything north of Hamilton Co is northern Indiana. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
