So we keep in line with the thread topic. I like gardening. I hope I have Powerball numbers that hit. I also buy thin mints or peanut butter cookies from girl scouts....additionally I'm an 80 or so golfer and today I saved .50cents a gallon on gas with my Kroger card.

Thanks again to those posters who can't keep their stuff in the appropriate threads. I've now joined your tribe since it's not being managed.

Carey Booth hitting the portal. After following Shrewsberry to ND guess his time is up and wants out.

Our weekly reminder that if it hadn't been for Tony Bennett and Virginia's meltdown in final minute of conference tourney game vs NC State....we never would have known about DJ Burns.

Man...Vontae Davis dead at age 35. Never understood his sudden departure from the league. So young.

Speaking of Dain Dainja...

 

He won't be the only one. I think we talked about it in this thread or another but Dainja has been playing for his teammates and teammates only the last 2 months. He couldn't announce quick enough.

I put most of our things like that together. My husband hates it as well.

Glad I found this thread!

Grandfather was Electrical Engineer....could do anything with electronics or technology, Dad was a CPA but his true passion was cars....rebuilt his toys, did all his own maintenance....

Do you think I was passed down any of those traits? Nada. Zip. 

6 fouls. 6 minutes....and PS Ziegler for UT...stop shooting.

Frantic. Is all I got for this game. I think Purdue will eventually pull away but like Sterastore just said Edey with 0 fouls with 16 left in the game is....

Making shots covers a ton of mistakes. Can't believe UT is up 11 but here they are....keep it going. 

51 fouls and 78 free throws the last time Vols and Purdue squared off. Let's see how it's called today. Go Vols.

Ant just pointed this out but Duke has played a 13 seed, 12 seed, Houston with their stud PG, and now NC State.

Sometimes a little luck goes a long way in the tourney.

Illinois goes 50 real-time minutes without scoring, they pulled a Virginia! 

Was it really 50 real time minutes? Lord

Sure has, you just saw it. In all seriousness I have no idea lol I doubt it

Hat tip on the point.

One of you folks have to know the answer. Is a 30-0 run ever happen in an E8 game?

Ok does it make me lesser of a man or I guess bad husband if I absolutely detest putting stuff together? We have a very generous MIL and occasionally she ships things. Last week we were sent some additional patio/deck furniture and chairs and other stuff.

Anyway my entire life (when I can afford) I buy preassembled. I hate putting stuff together. Almost makes my brain hurt. Anyway...she sent some chairs and tables and other stuff and all require assembling. I'm half tempted to return and pay the difference for assembled.

PS....she won't ever give us a gift card. 

Happy for @btownqb for sure. Anyone see that behind the back pass from Benter to the kid in the corner.....love that stuff.

Long ways out but one thing for certain temps will be fine. 10 day for Indy is calling for 70 and partly cloudy on April 8th. Of course it's 75 right now and going to be 32 on Wednesday morning....so things can change a little in Hoosierville in the Spring.

I really hope Mac just freaking blows up next year. For him, and for the program. 

I just get the feeling the 1st part of last year (on and off the court) was such a struggle. Maybe a bigger transition than he was ready for.

But man, he just slowly got better and better. You can see just how good he can become.

Good Luck Mac, let's freaking gooooo!!!!

Yep. Ton of development from early season, probably had his confidence rattled to just settling in towards the end of the season. Similar to JHS. Really have high hopes for him next year to be our anchor on offense.

Phenomenal news. Glad the kid and those around him see the bigger picture. Leave early and spend time on the G league circuit....or come back and play your way into 1st round $.

For IU though with Malik, MM, BT, TG....and find 4-5 more bodies this is a quick fix.

What an odd flex 

Odd? According to some our program is in a free for all....so I would ask you over the last 3 years which other Big 10 teams are .500 or better head to head vs Purdue. I'll hang up and wait for the answer.

I finally just took a look at Cubs schedule. We better hope Steele's injury isn't serious because after the Rockies series....we have Dodgers at home and road series at San Diego, at Seattle, at Arizona...small break at home with Marlins...start up against home with Houston followed by at Boston, at New York.

I'd sign up for .500 in heartbeat after this first month.

The amazing part is getting a 1 seed with 2 freshman + Morton Jenkins Newman in the backcourt 

IU took 2 NBA players with a bunch of 5 year starters to…..a sweep of Purdue as CMW said an “elite season”

 

I honestly fear the day you get rid of CMW…..sleeping giant 🥱 

Cool.

Are you really going to argue the state of the two programs?

Indiana hasn't sniffed an elite 8 in over 20 years.

It's a really good point actually. Before tonight Purdue has had one E8 in the last 20+ years. Now they have two. Dominant program for sure.

Indiana can take notes but until you have a competent, hard working, enthusiastic, non-self centered proven coach you are wasting your time. Woodson couldn't carry Painter's jock strap. He is a zero on a scale of 1-10.

And yet the records under Woodson..

Purdue is going to win it all I'm afraid. They're just too strong inside and out.

Indiana should take notes on how to build a program. There is no reason why we can't be Purdue on steroids and be strong every year. 

Amazing that the greatest Purdue run ever is 3-3 vs IU with Woodson.
