    So with all that change do you wear one of these?

    Nope. I have one of these. But red with IU on it.  It was my dad's. He hated pennies and always paid cash. So he was the guy that would make change.  It's my obligation to carry on the tradition.  But as a coin collector I grab every wheat penny I find.

    On the check out theme of pet peeves. Anybody else noticed that with all of the cash back cards, businesses are charging card usage fees to the point you lose money??? Do they want us to go back to writing checks?

    Cash is king. I make small purchases using dollar coins. I'm also a coin collector so I like the heft of money. 

    I typically carry about $100 worth of cash and some coins. I carry enough I'm borderline willing to defend myself over.

    Same thing for people paying cash. Have your wallet out and ready to go. Had some old lady (older than me) take 2 minutes to find a nickel (not exaggerating) rather than another dollar bill. I finally got a nickel from my pocket and threw it down to the cashier for her, and said "Here take this, I didn't bring a sleeping bag".

    I'll occasionally run in to people who still write checks. When I was in high school/college from late 90s to mid 2000s. I had a debit card but a lot places still wanted cash or check.  If I knew I was buying something and was using a check I would fill in everything but the amount and sign before going in. 

    Now they have check printers but I've had a few elderly people insist on writing it out.

    Not saying we lose by 20+, but if you are looking for evidence with a small sample size:

    IU 72 Army 64

    Stonehill 57 Army 44

    UConn 107 Stonehill 67

    Woody focuses on lock down defense.  He has a brand new team this year. 

    Losses will happen, but I trust coach will work it all out.

  5. Hopefully just a sprain. If he was walking in the handshake line I'm not worried.  Ankles have always been my weak point and I've sprained each 5-6 times each. And when it happens they swell up to the size of softballs and turn purple, green and yellow. Been to ER several times. I take EVERYTHING to the next level.

    Gosh, I’m 49 and probably my first memories are watching IU basketball, especially the 81 championship. Went to IU 93-97.   Was a huge Knight fan. Unfortunately, we haven’t made a good hire since then, with the possible exception of Woodson. But damn, we haven’t seen good basketball since Cheaney, Grahams, Henderson, Bailey, etc.  It’s just sad. 

    Alright then. Look forward to talking IU basketball with you.

    Actually, I don’t really care about Purdue. They are still little brother. I'm from southern Indiana. Call me a UK fan and you might hurt my feelings!  Once again, my original post just stated the obvious.  

    Didn't answer my question.  What makes you an IU fan? 

    I'm not challenging you. Just want to know!

    Headed back home after a week on the road. Making this 5 hour flight do faster that’s for sure!

    At least you can watch the game.

    I've only flown on a 4 seat personal plane. I like my feet on terra firma
