    The calendar said it was December of 2001. Fresh off losses to Marquette, Southern Illinois, Miami, Kentucky, and  Butler everyone on Peegs said cancel the season. Total loss. Sure glad the boards don't dictate a season. 

    If these things were happening in early March gang I get it but let's some development go on. Kind of like last year. Nobody was playing better in our conference at BTT. Just let it ride itself out. Not saying some along the way micro discussion isn't warranted but big picture....3 months of hoops/development is a long time.

    Big difference IMO because we have seen this movie for the past several years. I am just pulling for a different ending

    Pittman is #2 in that group. 

    Only to you and him. 2 of those guys showed how to ball out and one can't get open Pittman and Thielan made plays when he had to. Pittman is at best a number 2 on a good team. Just how it is,  and I like the guy but don't let my blinders get in the way

    Embarrassing,  pathetic,  laughing stock anything that I'm missing.

    Jefferson, osbourne, Thielan, Pittman rank those 4 with with your brain and eyes and not your heart and no matter how you cut it Pittman is 4. People think the Colts have playmakers. More convinced that you can win in this league with decent to GOOD QB with some big time playmakers. No one on that offense BESIDES JT shows any homerun ability. They base hit the hell out of you though

    Come on folks, yes it was another disappointing game, but it’s early. Hopefully it’s just something we’re going though right now. Didn’t show much fight in this one! 

    Been early for at least 8 years and most of the past 20 plus. We fans are great at finding excuses. Next it's hard to win on the road in the big etc... I thought this team could change that narrative and they migh5 but better get their heads out of their rear ends

    Worth repeating IMO

    TJD is an all cupcake team, not a 1st team all American. Very good player but AA show up against UK and Zona. Once again high expectations we are great at winning thebiff season the recruiting trail but somehow PU finds a way to get the #1 two years in a row. Makes me want to puke!!

    Because to me, that opens some serious doors for ppl.... I mean, why can't you just hire an "intern" at any point then just to help recruit one specific player or whatever. 

    We should hire Carmelo for a day or two and take him to some in home visits. Pay him 100K, come to some visits with us and later on we will just say you aren't a intern any more. Idk seems fairly sketchy to me.. obviously Purdue isn't doing anything wrong, smart by them, I just don't think it should be allowed.

    Isn’t he a head of one of their NIL organizations?

     

    If so, that is basically breaking the main NIL rule. 
     

    I’d also add this opens some doors. I think that is what @btownqb is talking about. Next time a coach leaves why not appoint Anthony Thompson as an intern and let him recruit during the search?

    I agree with all of that and get it, but how different is it than D Wade stopping by when recruits are are here of LBJ and Melo just happening to have a conversation with our recruits. I can tell you for sure that many current players and those that we are recruiting have talked to several guys that are NBA All Stars that Woody has on speed dial. They are doing it for free. 

     

    Not one recruit would know who AT is probably only player on our team that would is Race because his Dad played against AT.  I see where you guys are coming from.

  17. IU vs KU prediction thread

    I'm surprised at the number of double digit loss predictions there are.

    My thought process was that to go into Allen and get a win you have to be at least 10 points better to get a W. If KU on a neutral court would be a 3 or 4 point favorite then somewhere around 15 seems to be right IMO. I think it will be close under 8 minutes and hopefully we can make some plays but I think the crowd etc.. come into play and then the fouls and next thing you know its double digits. I want to be wrong so badly.  Hoosiers prove me wrong.

  21. Stories That Make You Shake Your Head At The World

    in Colonial Crester's Corner

    Not sure where to put this but the death of a child is something to shake you head at the world. I hope this turns into a story that warms your heart. Help us in sending birthday thoughts to this brave little 4 year old girl battling brain cancer. This Friday will be her 5th and according to doctors final birthday. I came across this and immediately went out got a card and gift for her and her family. Hopefully Hoosier Nation can help shower this girl with birthday cards, well wishes and most importantly the power of prayer. This one has broken this old heart.

    Ok, I gotta ask because I've been known to get my sayings wrong (or my mother did). But we always say you are cutting off your nose to spite your face. Is either one right or both or neither? hmmmm...very important stuff here today. 

    I always heard it the same as you but according to the Cambridge dictionary to spite is correct..
