@DWB and @Reacher I will message you all this weekend. I think it will be fun to do and good for both wins and losses. Appreciate ya

It’s individual. They will mix some here and there. They did a mango & jalapeño one, and it was pretty darn tasty.

We have a local grocery store that has a decent meat department. They make pepperjack brats that are AMAZING!!! That rotate their selection so I always try to nab some when they are in stock. Also do jalapeño, pineapple, cheddar, and other flavors as well.

One thing I used to do when I was more active was doing an MVP poll after every IU win. I was thinking about doing it again this season, and then we would compile the season MVP at the end of the season. Two things I need help with: - I can’t watch every game live, so voting might be delayed. However, if anyone wants to help me, please let me know and we can tag team. It’s better to get the poll up right away while a lot of posters are on. - In the past, some posters didn’t like having an MVP poll after a loss. I think we still should, but what are your thoughts?

While I think IU is the best team in the conference, the schedule differences may push IU to be a top 2-4 team. Like with the Big10 East, would be nice to see more of a balanced schedule with all teams. Really hope Wisconsin and Iowa finish last in the Big10, tired of them randomly being really good because of random breakout players.

What have been your thoughts so far? I know it’s just exhibitions so far, so the competition isn’t great, but still fun to take a look at. Some questions I thought might be fun to dive into: - What or who has impressed you the most so far? - Offense improved from last season? - Will the Freshman class be better than anticipated? - Is this the most complete team since IU in quite some time? - What concerns do you still have? - What one player can take this team to win the Big10 and/or far in the Tourney based on improvement or better than expected? - If IU is to win the Big10/make a deep Tourney run, what has to change from last season? If you say better shooting, please provide a secondary answer lol.

Good to see you around here. Likewise, I find myself not really posting much anymore like I used to. Career and kiddos have done that to me lol.

Dealing with kiddos all night so I couldn’t chime in. Good game overall. One thought regarding X is will it take him awhile to get going? Happened to him last year where it took him some time to really settle in. Hasn’t looked good in these exhibition games. Freshman have looked stellar so far!

It wouldn’t let me last game. Idiot me thought the eastern start time was central, so I was an hour late to the game. Wouldn’t let me start it from the beginning, had to pick up where it was at live.

You can watch it on replay fairly quickly after the game is over. I had to do that last time. Hope we get to see TJD and Bates tonight. Would like to see a better idea of how “rotations” will be this season. I’ve missed me some IU basketball.

I have two boys right now, and we are trying for a 3rd (no, @5fouls is not the father). Ages are 5 and almost 3. Having two boys have been a challenge, a lot of chaos and fighting at the house lol. My wife and I recently created a daily activity chart to try and see if a set routine would help, especially with our oldest. Dudes got a pretty bad attitude at times, but this morning was our best morning to date. He did his morning routine without issue, and was going above and beyond to help out with other stuff. Also had his best t-ball game this past Tuesday. Yes, he had his best hitting day, but also just overall attitude and having fun. He didn’t play in the dirt, and helped his friends out in the field. Hoping this daily activity chart will be a huge help. Now, for more of the fun stuff. Anyone have any funny public restroom incidents/conversations with the little ones? About a year ago, I took my oldest to the men’s room and we used the same stall as it was a busy bathroom. Out of no where he looks over and says loudly, “Wow Dad, you have a big penis!” 🤦‍♂️😁😬 Laughtererupted…… Also, if anyone farts in a public restroom myson has to announce it that someone did. Lol. Boys and farts!

Love playing UNC this year. Our team will be battle tested in the non-conference, but also in conference with the schedule they gave us. IU has a lot of work to do, but top programs should be able to handle it. This will be a true test for the Hoosiers this season.

Will definitely give that a look. I’m still sore from my one MBF workout earlier this week lol. BeachBody does a great job of having a good variety based on preferences and health. A good investment for all, plus, never hurts when the trainer is a good looking woman lol.

Then you should definitely do the zombie 5k’s we’re people are trying to get you! Lol.

I don’t care if it’s a few words here and there with my kids around, it’s just the non-stop. We went to a Cardinals game and a huge group of college kids ended up right behind us (luckily they had to move because they were in the wrong seats) and it was a constant flow of cursing.

Wife and I don’t curse except on very rare occasions, and I agree with you on this. We have two young boys and can’t stand it when people have no filter, even after seeing our kids are there.

I coached youth baseball for 5 and 1/2 years. I learned quickly to be upfront to parents about their actions at practice and at games, and what the consequences would be. It made a WORLD of difference and we were always receiving compliments from umpires and opposing coaches. I don’t tolerate parents yelling at umps/refs, kids, and coaches. I quit umpiring in high school (I’m 35 now) because the parents were so awful. I grew up in a small country town where everyone knew me, and it didn’t matter. Definitely an adult problem ruining youth athletics, and unfortunately only getting worse with violence towards officials growing.

Nice and really like hearing that! I’ve never been a big fan of lifting weights, but need to start incorporating them more, which is why I’m doing MBF. I notice a major health benefit once I start exercising and eating better, which is my stomach/digestion. World of difference with even a little adjustment to being healthier.

My issue with weight loss has always been my food intake. I eat a lot, always have, and it caught up to me after college when I quit running so much. I’m wanting to get down to 199lbs (just want to be below 200 lol), but at least below 210lbs. I’ve been fortunate to be natural at running, and luckily I really like it as well. This go around, I’m trying to mix-in these BeachBody workouts that focus on strength training too. Hoping to get some 5k’s under my belt, and then train for a couple half-marathons next year. I’m 35 and want to take advantage of this time by not hurting my health and daily lifestyle by my diet and laziness. Having kids makes it really difficult to stay in shape!

Are things looking better with Booked? For awhile, it was being discussed as IU was on the outside looking in.

Newell received a scholarship offer on his visit. Coach MW and staff love their Monteverde kids!

Been getting out running more, but with this heatwave I did the MBF workout from BeachBody yesterday. It was leg day and I’m so sore. Weighed myself this morning at 226lbs, and I’m 6’2.

I’m definitely crying inside with the market the last week. Not fun at all!

Just finished purchasing the subdivision fireworks. Hope to get more donations in or I’m on the hook for a lot lol. Grand total is about $2,000. One thing I’m looking to add this year is a fun parachute firework where all the neighborhood kids go chasing them. My issue is I have found one that shoots 250, which is too much, but the other problem is the 2nd biggest is only 17 parachutes. My church is hosting a subdivision bbq for free, and then a few of us are putting on a fun parade where adults/kids can decorate golf carts, bikes, scooters, strollers, etc.

So Amazon is running some deals on their holiday inflatables. Just purchased an 8ft spider inflatable that lights up for $45. I plan to put this on the roof right above our entrance overhang. Never too early for holiday decorating stuff lol.
