In Beard's family Christmas photo, he's clearly choking that stuffed bear.

Thank you, IUFLA! Much appreciated. It's helpful when pre-game threads have this information first, at the top, like yours always do.

That would serve them right. They pretty much hired a recruiter who hasn't shown much coaching ability. Louisville lost their first 3 games by one point each. Since then, they've been crushed in every game by 20 to 30 points, or more. Is that a team that has given up? Maybe. Here's a UL Fan forum convo about firing the coach, who has a $10 million buyout. https://louisville.forums.rivals.com/threads/two-damage-scenarios.60455/.

For a price, I know somebody who knows somebody who will persuade those other houses to drop out of the contest. Just saying.

Sophomore Trent scored 30 points in his team's third game this season. He visited for the North Carolina game, too. “It was really good,” Sisley said. “To be able to sit behind the bench and see all of it was behind the scenes, the atmosphere was pretty crazy.” https://news.yahoo.com/heritage-hills-sisley-top-50-150155554.html

Nice find! Thank you! Here's a short article that agrees it will help recruiting. https://www.crimsonquarry.com/2022/12/8/23500476/indiana-mens-basketball-jalen-hood-schifino-and-trayce-jackson-davis-sign-adidas-nil-deals

(2025) Guard Ty Price visits Indiana for the Nebraska game: “The atmosphere & love for IU bball is unreal. Coaches were great. Spent a lot of time with Coach Jordan Hulls & Coach Mike Woodson.”

Race is in his 5th year. Has shot under 24% for his career from three. He's shooting under 17% this season. He shoots under 65% for free throws. Still with incorrect form. I'm totally missing why he needs to shoot more ANY threes (edit), when there is nothing to support the idea that he will get better. I'd rather Miller Kopp take a triple-teamed three from the upper deck than have Race shoot one from the line unguarded.

Race is 3 for 18. Jordan 2 for 11. If they had missed only 5 more shots, they would be shooting zero % for the season.

TRIPLE DOUBLE ! ! ! Congrats to Trayce ! ! ! Shout out to Trey and Tamar for setting the nets on fire ! ! !

If I'm Woodson, I'm feeding Trayce for the triple double. He's earned it, and it would help recruiting.

10 turnovers for a quad double?

I'll again be passing out another 100 or more "likes" in this thread. Post early and often! Go IU!

This made me laugh. The dog is: "I have no idea what's going on, but okay."

Two 2025 guards from Kentucky will visit Indiana for the Nebraska game. Anyone know of more recruits attending? https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-to-host-a-pair-of-kentucky-based-2025-prospects-on-wednesday/

Great pics! I would have incorrectly guessed a Cooper's Hawk. Thanks for posting!

He was captain of one of two identical company ships returning from the southern hemisphere. Bringing, of all things, dozens of large animals for East Coast zoos. There were giraffes and zebras on both decks. Anyway, as they sailed up the coast, terrible weather set in, with dangerous seas. They had to decide: go closer to shore, or further out to sea. Both choices had risks. No guarantee either way. The other captain chose out to sea. STRONGLY encouraged my father and his navigator to do the same. Said lives were at stake (which was true). It was a full blown hurricane coming down on them. Closer to shore meant the shallow water would bring higher waves. My grandfather chose closer to shore anyway. The two ships parted ways. My grandfather's ship made it safely. The ship that went further out to sea was never heard from again. Not a thing was ever found. No radio contact. Just gone. 20 years ago, I found a newspaper clipping of the story online. Can't find it now. The story, and the people, have been lost to history.

My grandfather was a captain of a commercial trading ship. Crew of about 30. Went all over the world. He got the above items on one of the Africa trips. He got this letter opener, below, from Alaska. Carved from walrus tusk. Interesting that it has a plane on it. I think that was a big deal to the artist. None of these things are worth much, if anything. Just kind of unusual.

100-year-old war axe, spear, and bow from Africa. Dark wood is ebony. Not sure about the bow. Metal is hand-forged iron. Been in our family since they were made. The items aren't worth much. There are places on line that specialize in selling things similar.

Long before her role in "Cheers" I remember seeing her in Star Trek's "The Wrath of Khan." She was only on screen a couple of minutes. After, all the guys were asking "WHO was the cute Vulcan?" 1951 - 2022.

Several IU recruits mentioned here, with weekend performances. Flory Bidunga. Gabe Cupps. Trent Sisley. Jalen Haralson. Jonathan Powell. Also MSU commit Xavier Booker, who only scored 5 points in an indifferent outing. I found the link thanks to TheDailyHoosier.com. A good site to visit. https://247sports.com/LongFormArticle/College-basketball-recruiting-Kanon-Catchings-Myles-Colvin-Flory-Bidunga-Gabe-Cupps-Trent-Sisley-Jalen-Haralson-and-more-199642172/#199642172_1
