Zuckerkorn Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) Wasn't there a mayor of Muncie named Harry Balz? If I recall correctly, they had a contest a few years ago to name some new building and he was the hands-down winning name, but ignored the voting and went with another name. Regarding the Lipps name, I worked a guy at Carrier named Pherman Lipps - he was a big UK fan and we never saw eye-to-eye on anything. EDIT: It was in Fort Wayne and the man's name was Baals Edited September 1, 2021 by Zuckerkorn 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Jones Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Worked with an guy named Hueng Ro 25+ tears ago. Still laugh about this today. I guess some people never grow up.

Somewhere in between but closer to being swept under the rug than getting fired. Several game suspension is my guess. Of course, their non-conference schedule is tougher than their conference schedule so an early season suspension could hurt them more than it typically does for P5 schools and could ultimately affect their NCAA seed.

It very well might be in violation of Few's contract and an incident that could cause termination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really believe they would fire Few though? I think that would put them.in Marquette territory when Al McGuire retired...from being a legitimate national power house that could win it all, back to just another good program...

I would like to add that Few isn't really a media darling. He has made some statements in the past on various topics that the sportswriters sensationalized. With that being said, it wouldn't be ridiculous to assume that there is gonna be some "witch hunting" going on here. Basically looking for skeletons in Mark's closet. For all I know Few might have a major drinking problem... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
