Cancel the 2A tournament.

Passing O is the only kind of O Purdue ever has. But Iowa had to be kicking themselves later in the year for losing that game. I think Iowa would have crushed them if they had played in December.

This is silly. Weather forecasters are right a lot more than they're wrong. People just selectively remember the times they were wrong.

Fort Wayne once had a mayor whose name was Harry Baals.

Why anyone would still schedule a home and home with that program is beyond me.

The best kinds of storms are the ones in early spring, when it's still a bit chilly out but you just want to be outside listening to the sound of thunder after a long, hard winter. We totally missed out on that this past spring. April and May were devoid of thunderstorms. I'm old enough to remember when storms could actually break a heatwave. We had some nice little garden-variety storms roll through last night and it's still humid as sh*t today.

Iowa is a program that I think has felt somewhat threatened by our recent success. Even though we don't play them every year, they still have a pretty decent recruiting pipeline into our state. We got quite a bit of media attention last year when we won our first four games. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Gary Barta wanted this game to open the season so Iowa could try and prevent that from happening again.

Ok, DD might be on to something. The first picture is Luck from 2 years ago, right before sh*t hit the fan. The second is from a few weeks ago when he was in Colorado.

I thought contact tracing only affected people who were within close proximity to someone for a certain amount of time? I would hope the janitor wasn't trying to clean the lockers while the players were in there, right?

Temptation is an a$$clown as well. I quit posting on a high school basketball site because he ruined so many threads.

Anyone else not see the date on the initial post, then do a double take when they saw a post from milehiiu?

Not looking like that will happen until early next week. Rain chances are spotty as well. I'm old enough to remember when a heatwave like this would almost always be broken by powerful thunderstorms. Doesn't seem to happen too often anymore.

I have a hard time believing there are current pictures of Luck on the Internet. That guy has been invisible for the past 2 years.

Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, northern Illinois getting storms today. Nothing but dry, oppressive heat in Indiana. Good lord this storm season has been a complete snooze fest.

I really think Woodson's NBA experience, along with actually having a personality, has made a huge difference. People want to play for this guy.

Ordered a burger and ice cream at Dairy Queen tonight. Not only was everything correct, they gave me french fries I didn't even order. I considered this an atonement for the time they gave me my ice cream first and told me to pull into a parking space, on a hot day, to wait for the rest while my ice cream melted in my hand.

12-7. Apparently that was the closest game that team had all season.

10-1 in 1982...only winning season in a span of about 13 years. And that was way before my time, lol. Bluffton was averaging a new coach about every two seasons when I was growing up. The current coach is the first one since the early 80's to last more than four years. The program is worlds better now, but still trying to figure out how to not get embarrassed by traditionally strong teams.

I always had people pressuring me to play football because I was "big" (not wide, just really tall for my age). I was a wimp and had no interest in tackling people or getting tackled. Plus, my high school's football program was a joke and I wanted no part of that mess.

I call it the ESPN generation of athletes. Kids want to be on highlight reels, not play offensive line for a team that goes 3-7.

It makes more sense to me now why the mods on that board are constantly asking for donations.

A couple funny moments from a 1A game that wasn't close... Late in the game, the winning team put its reserves in (the few they had, anyway). Kid who's listed at 5'4", 115 makes an open-field, solo tackle and the crowd goes nuts. Winning team is kicking off after scoring to go up by like 50, they only have 10 players on the field, a kid on the far side of the field is shouting "Coach, we need one more! We need one more!" An official waves him off and yells "No you don't, no you don't" then motions for the play clock to start.

2A Bishop Luers beats 6A Carroll 38-31. Cancel the 2A tournament and just give Luers the trophy now.

I thought it was kind of cheesy, honestly.

Fun fact: whatever the number is, Michigan can actually claim a higher one. Man, even when they have an historically long winning streak against the team they hate most, someone else is still better.
