  1. Just in case some may have wondered about the tag line for HSN's Animal House. Classic Movie Line
  2. Yes. It was Wade Schenck who played Ollie in 'Hoosier'. Wade Schenck - Biography - IMDb And he did in fact play real ball for L&M. Just for fun vid : David Neidorf & Wade Schenck on The Dan Patrick Show (Full Interview) 9/16/16 Only in Indiana do real life high school BB players get interviews, decades after they played, like Bobby Plump.
  3. As many of you know, I am not a fan of the NBA. Many of you are, and that's ok by me. Having said that, I don't frequent this thread, much, it at all. So my apologies for linking this video if it has already been posted. I recently ran across this video, and thought some of you NBA fans would find it interested. I can say, I did. And in a good way. Had no idea about his school. 12 Items LeBron James Owns That Cost More Than Your Life...
  4. Seeing as how I went to Gary Lew Wallace High School, we were taught a lot about Lew Wallace. Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ
  5. Lew Wallace was a Civil War General. He also wrote 'Ben Hur' .
  6. I attended Gary Lew Wallace from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Was the last to go all the way through, before they built elementary and middle schools. The Wallace family allowed our school to use their coat of arms. Had it in our hallways, yearbooks, and class rings. At the top of the crest, in latin are the words 'Sperandum Est. Which means one must hope. Or. It is to be hoped for.
  7. Ooh, Ooh, I know the answer, 'cause I was there ! Lyle Alzado, when he was a Denver Bronco. Match was held outdoors at the old Mile High Stadium. A couple of years later, I met Ali. A very nice man.
  8. Correct. Lloyd McClendon remains a Little League 'Legend'
  9. What former Major Leaguer from Indiana, when in the Little League World Series, took just five swings at the ball in three games.... each one good for a homer on the first pitch. And was intentionally walked the other five times he came to the plate ? Hint, he is from NWI, and played for Valpo University, before going into the majors.
  10. Tiz and KoB.... my heart goes out to both of you. May I suggest that you contact your carriers. To see what, if anything they would be willing to do for you. In my case, I have asked, and some have been more than willing to help. For instance Century Link went over and above about locking in a lifetime price due to our loyalty with them. And after my wife went into a Verizon store recently, and inquired about specials for veterans and other programs.... she and I will be going to Verizon shortly to get a reduced rate for vets. It never hurts to ask. And over the years, I have found that many companies have programs that are not made public. Even if they say no, at first.... wait and ask again.
  11. ^^ Tiz. I don't know what I am about to say will address your question. And as KOB is saying, I am not sure if we are confusing things here. So... I will state, what I have. Unlimited data plan via Verizon on our I-phones. And my internet service at their highest power, is provided by Century Link ( with a lifetime lock on price, and only pay $9.00/mo for land line with unlimited long distance service. I use a Roku streaming device. Though I do have a Chromecast Ultra, but don't use, because they don't have a remote like Roku, and make you use a smart phone as a remote. And have a HuluTv account, which I pay an addition $10.00/month over their base price for unlimited streaming devices ( phones, tv's etc.).
  12. Leather. I have used Ramsey's method. Mostly in the winter when the temps are cold outside. I take the steak out of the fridge, and season it simply with salt and pepper, and let it come to room temperature before cooking. I augment Ramsey's style with two sprigs of rosemary, and one to two jalapenos sliced into rings. Place the rosemary on top of the steak, and baste with a combination of butter and the jalapenos.
  13. To season a cast iron skillet. Three easy steps: 1) Wash thoroughly and dry. 2) Coat with a thin layer of vegetable oil. 3) Bake in an oven on middle rack at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
  14. Comcast and the B1G Ten Network came to terms on Aug. 21. However, here in Colorado, as before, in order to watch the B1G Ten Network, you have to cough up an additional $10.00 for the Sports/Entertainment package. Plus, we have never had an alternative B1G Ten Network channel with Comcast. And the Indiana/Ball State game was not available in Colorado on Comcast. So, if I had gone back to Comcast for the Sports Channel, I would not have been able to see last Saturday's game. Conversely, Hulu Live TV has all B1G Ten Channels. Not only was I able to view IU's game, but every one of the 8 other games broadcast by the B1G Ten Channel. Additionally, for no extra charge I can DVR games on Hulu.
  15. Tiz. In terms of streaming devices, I have four Roku's and one Chromecast Ultra. My personal preference is the Roku because they come with a remote. While with the Chromecast Ultra, you have to sync to a smart phone and use the phone as a remote. The cost for the Roku is tiered. One and two cost the least, then they bump the price for each time you add two or more. Roku and Hulu stream in HD only. So the picture quality alone should be worth the effort for you to cut the cable. Of course, I am assuming you have an HD tv.
  16. Funny stuff. No salute of the day for you. Just a milehiiu..... "Well done" of the day. Figure that day out. LOL Oh, by the way. Thanks for being a great member.
  17. Yes. Have to agree. And for that one, rico has earned the coveted milehiiu.... "salute of the day".
  18. Not to worry, as I rarely follow either of the NBA threads. I may be alone , but..... Just not my cup of tea. Following the NBA.... that it is. So thanks for letting us know about Yogi. I did watch a game of Yogi's a couple of years back when he came to Denver. And none of his teammates were willing to share the ball with him. Too bad he said no to Mark Cuban... but sounding like it is a better deal, money wise for Yogi.
  19. While you were the one who requested everyone to move on. And your post was right after mine. Does not matter if you quoted me or not.  It was apparent as to your intentions. As your reply public reply indicates.  Unlike what I am doing here.  You published a public retort, anti what you were requesting on the board, rather than sending me a private message. 

    It's quite apparent what your agenda has been, and still continues to be.

      Ha ha ha.  Yeah. Right.  Thanks for posting your attack on me on the board, rather than via a private message.

       Same as you.  Not to admit you were wrong. 

      Good night.

      For the better part of ten years now, I have been driven to build up relationships with members. More than just as members. But as real people. With the ultimate objective of helping to build the site. But still enjoy knowing our members on a personal level as well.  I know a lot about a lot of people.  And they know a lot about me.  Have the personal emails and phone numbers of many of them. Have even had members drive from the Midwest to spend time with me. Or even stay for a couple of days at my house.  You would be shocked at the wide variety of people who have made friends with me. I will leave it at that.  Other than to say, I enjoy building relationships with our members. Which is one reason why, I enjoy not being a mod any longer. Don't have to be concerned when I show favoritism to any of my many friends.  And would never betray their trust in me, when they share information.   One thing that HF took notice of a couple of months back.

      You are right.  I know nothing about you.  Which is a shame.  Especially considering the fact that I was the one who first suggested you to become a moderator on HSN.  Maybe if we knew more of each other, we would not have come to blows, as we have now.   Perhaps more my fault than yours.  However, one time when I approached another mod about "issues" going on in his life at one particular time.... I got clearly rebuked for interfering in his life.  So, I have never forgotten that.  Not to cross a line, either. 

      One thing I have discovered over the years as being a part of HSN. Is that it takes two to establish a relationship.  Sad. That has not happened between you and I. 

  20. You are welcome. Townie here is a website, you and others may find helpful. Cord Cutters News - All the news cord cutters need about cord cutting! Covering, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, Netflix, Hulu, & More! He also provides a bunch of videos on You Tube. Such as this one. Cord Cutting Q&A - YouTube Also found this which deals directly with the NFL Network for cord cutters. How to Watch The NFL Network Without Cable - Your Top 3 Options
  21. Since my primary objective was to find a streaming service that offers the Big Ten Network.... when I found it on Hulu (as well as DirectTVNow).... I did not look for the NFL Network. I just checked HuluLiveTV, and currently the NFL Network is not offered. However, that may change over time, as HuluLiveTV is adding channels all the time.
  22. An update as of July 11,2018 as far as my adventures. Had some issues with Hulu. Cross contaminating the Hulu account we set up years ago, with the new Hulu Live TV account recently set up. Could not get Hulu Live TV to play on all my tv's with Roku, even though I opted for the unlimited device option. Was getting half of the tv's getting the basic Hulu and half getting Hulu Live TV. Must say that most if not all the issues were because of my limited understanding of how to set up things on the internet. Anyway, the young lady from Hulu was very patient and understanding. Willing to spend all the time I needed to get things straightened out on my end. She even called back twice in the day, just to make sure everything was working the way it should. Next.... onto my 4HD big screen in the kitchen. This one, I hooked up a Chromecast Ultra to. Because we have a Google Home in the kitchen. And since Chromecast does not utilize a remote (an smart phone us used as a remote), my hope would be that I could use my Google Home to give voice commands for Hulu Live TV. Only to find out that currently Cromecast is not set up for Hulu voice commands. I can use the Google Home for voice commands for other things live You Tube, but not Hulu Live TV at present. I do not own a smart phone. But, luckily, my son gave me one of his, that he no longer uses. And now, I can watch Hulu Live TV utilizing Chromecast on my Kitchen TV.... and most importantly, I can get the Big Ten Channel there once again. Remember.... what started this all in motion was my cable company, Comcast dropped the Big Ten Channel this past Spring. So, now, I am this much closer to cutting the cable.... all together.
  23. Indiana Hoosiers - MGM Resorts NBA Summer League Begins Friday

  25. Agree with you dbm. They all seem to have content issues. My first choice was DTV, but, like I said.... I can't access it with my current browsers. Even updating them per AT&T does no good. Hulu was a snap to load, and upgrade. I am not much of a movie watcher. Though we did that outside the other night. So not having AMC is no biggie for me. The thing I needed most was the Big Ten Channel, which I can get on Hulu. Also... if you are a movie buff.. Roku has about a half dozen free movie channels. And they seem to keep adding more and more. And of course there is Netflex.
