Edey outweighs him by 70-80 pounds. The elbow won’t be an issue in that matchup

Edey will just elbow Payton in the face

If it's true that he was on the phone with his Dad, I can see him being told, "don't leave the parking lot, don't get out of the car, keep your hands on the wheel where they're visible"

I'd like to see Thomas Bryant and/or DJ White deliver that message in person

Fixed it

Oh I agree. It’s just always such a deep hole to climb out with IU FB and it’s only getting worse with the B1G expansion.

No kidding. And Tom Allen has the second highest win % (after Bill Mallory) of any IU coach in the last 75 years.

The Ware situation reminds me of Andrae Patterson, an extremely gifted player who was just very mild-mannered and quiet. Although he made the NBA, he probably never reached the potential that was projected. Knight's critical challenge this season was to bring out the potential in Patterson, his most gifted player. For two years Knight has been a human bellows, working to ignite a flame in his underachieving forward, who has at times played like he's on fire but more often has been just a smoldering ember. "Patterson is one of the most interesting kids I've ever had here," Knight said before the season. "He has always had an ability to determine when he's tired, and then [he figures] not as much is expected of him. His concentration slides. His effort slides. In a test of skills Patterson would test high. We've got to be able to test him in these other areas and get the same score." He is known to be such a mild-mannered young man that many of his neighbors in West Texas were worried when he announced he would play for the volatile Knight. Several of them even mailed letters to him and to the local Abilene newspaper strongly suggesting that he reconsider. Patterson arrived in Bloomington as a first-team Parade All-America after averaging 27.3 points a game at Cooper High in Abilene. But he struggled as a freshman, averaging slightly more than seven points in 19 minutes per game. His inconsistent play continued as a sophomore. Seventeen times in 31 games last season he scored four or fewer field goals. For the season Patterson averaged 11.3 points, 2.3 turnovers and roughly 2.3 Knight tirades per game. "Coach is trying to get me to be like him on the basketball court," Patterson says. "Off the court I'm laid-back, but he says that on the court I need to be a warrior." https://vault.si.com/vault/1996/12/09/lord-of-the-rims-andrae-patterson-led-a-rejuvenated-indiana-to-victory-in-the-preseason-nit

Some guys have natural ability, but they don't play hard or practice as hard as other guys, even though they believe they are.

There were some vegan students outside chanting “we don’t want Dairy Queen”

That's a zero sum game

You aren't doing it right

I was always told if you take something from one source, it's plagiarism, if you take if from two, it's research.

Some quotes from Lebron James: "When I lived in the projects, if we saw a cop, we hid behind the brick wall. When the lights went on, we ran, even if we didn’t do anything wrong.” "For Black people right now, we think you’re hunting us.” “I know people get tired of hearing me say it but we are scared as Black people in America,” James continued. “Black men, Black women, Black kids, we are terrified. Because you don’t know, you have no idea. You have no idea how that cop that day left the house. You don’t know if he woke up on the good side of the bed, you don’t know if he woke up on the wrong side of the bed.” If you're an 18 year old AA kid, in a strange town, and you believe this, you don't leave a busy, well-lighted area, with security cameras. You may be thinking, if I leave and start to drive home, these cops will pull me over later and beat the crap out of me. Not saying he should believe this, but it's also understandable.

Good from a PR perspective, but not good for someone facing criminal charges. The latter situation says don’t say anything.
