The Big Ten title is probably out of reach now. We picked a bad time to go into a slump.

Disappointing. Maybe next year we'll get another crack at the Blundering Turd.

I honestly feel this could happen. The last few weeks he was here, he just seemed broken. Another hot take: the FBI scandal broke during the fall of his first season here. Given what we now know about his brother, I've always wondered if Archie cheated at Dayton and was constantly looking over his shoulder throughout his IU tenure.

Not really. The Movement gave us Yogi and 2 Big Ten titles. This class gave us 1 year of Romeo Langford and a handful of mid-major talents.

The 2018 recruiting class might be the most disappointing class I can remember at IU.

Going a little further into this...apparently the Komets refused to play the game because of their opponent having a positive test, hence the forfeit. Wish these guys, and other pro athletes, would just vaccinate and be done with it. No reason whatsoever for games to still be getting cancelled over this.

The Fort Wayne Komets hockey team had a May 4th game at Indianapolis cancelled last week because an Indy player tested positive. Now, a week later, the league is making Komets forfeit for some reason. This is yet another reason why cancelling games because of a positive Covid test is ridiculous and stupid.

Just like the "mask exemption" cards awhile back. I'm surprised it took this long.

South Adams graduates an historically good senior class. They won't be bad, but they won't be a state contender.

I miss the days when Indiana used to get storms in the spring. Now all we get is snow.

My best guess is that covering your mouth and nose (making it slightly harder to breathe) is more invasive to the average person's comfort zone than putting on a shirt or shoes. It's kind of ironic in a way, because I've found that these are often times the kind of people who never miss an opportunity to remind everyone how tough they are and nothing stops them. Also, treading on thin ice with this one, but federal leadership convinced many Americans that masks weren't cool and were a sign of weakness when this all started.

Just looked at a tournament projection from D1baseball.com. They currently have us as one of the last five in. The Big Ten royally screwed us by not allowing non-conference games.

The Fort Wayne Tincaps recently released their guidelines for the upcoming season (which would have already started by now, but alas, Covid). They include: --masks must be worn at all times, unless eating or drinking --people must sit in groups of 1-6, with at least 6 feet between all "pods" of people --no cash transactions allowed, credit cards only (the "cashless society" conspiracy theorists are losing their sh*t over that one) I usually go to a game or two each year, but I won't be going until those rules are scrapped. Masking at an outdoor event where people are required to be spread apart anyway is silly and counterproductive, and cashless transactions just seems like overkill.

Day after Pfizer #1: my arm feels like someone took a sledgehammer to it, but no flu symptoms. I'd probably feel better if the pain in my arm hadn't kept me awake most of the night.

You were far too kind. I would have taken the mask off and coughed in her face.

Went to a different county to get Pfizer because it wasn't available anywhere in my county. Hope it was worth it.

Central Noble and Churubusco have been pulling basketball players out of Fort Wayne for years.

I think this topic is basically a subtle jab at the fans who wanted Crean to get more time here and blamed his failures on the fans for expecting too much.

A couple hours ago, a snow squall went through my area. It looked like a blizzard outside. Now, I'm seeing lightning to the north and hearing thunder. At this point, I'm just waiting for the tsunami warning to go into effect.

Well, I was wrong. Everyone in northeast Indiana had school today. I heard some people grumbling about not getting a 2 hour delay...I think this will be a good learning experience for them. Now, back to telling people to get off my snow-covered, late April lawn...

Calling it now, there will be schools in northeast Indiana that close on Wednesday. 3-5 inches of snow on the way.

Very tragic, but I think it's ridiculous they're trying to contact trace anyone who may have been near him. Just seems like an overreaction and a waste of time.

I'd love to know why this rule exists and why anyone would think it's a good rule.

Well, my county has joined Blackford as the only orange counties in the state this week. Naturally, the town council voted to do away with masks in all businesses.

I noticed Blackford county is the only orange county this week. They were blue a couple weeks ago. I have to think it's because of Blackford basketball fans attending the regional and semi-state games.
