DWB

TJD no doubt, but special "at-a-boys" go out to Gallo and Bates

Just FYI....Gallo was 3-3 from deep. Hope that stops the "Gallo can't shoot" comments. He's shooting close to 50% from 3. Something like 47%-49% if memory serves.

I'm not 100% certain, but the box score gives TJD 5 blocks this game. If so, I think he takes the all time shot blocker crown away from Newton. And to think Archie handcuffed him for 2 years.

So much praise to go around Truly a TEAM effort.

Was there ever one with them? They might think there's one now because of Kopp, but MN has a better chance at a rivalry with us than NW. (I know you were being sarcastic...so am I)

I think ILL "wants & needs" for it to be a rivalry, because their current "Rival" is N-Western. I'd be trying to manufacture a new rival too, if NW was my main rival.

I'll be surprised if we fold, especially at home, after the last 2 games. Maybe, just maybe, the guys are bought into being "on a mission".

Since it didn't draw blood, or create a huge bruise I didn't count it.

Just finished rewatching the game, and just for shitz & giggles I decided to track how many really obvious fouls we rec'd, with no call. And I'm not talking about ticky tack stuff, I'm talking about our guys getting hammered. Here's the breakdown: TJD at least 4 (if not a couple more I didn't count), on shots, not called JHS 1 Gallo 2 Bates 1 (viscious moving screen by Dainja)

For anybody interested... Michael Lewis' Ball State is on CBS Sports channel tonite. I think it's at 6:30 Eastern

Trace said in his post game comments that until this week, he hadn't even practiced for a month and a ½. That's pretty incredible, and still put up some decent (yet below his avg) numbers.

I would bet it won't be himself...

Easiest pick of the season.

Another 8 against 5 game. But we could still win it.

That's once....

Kopp guarding Shannon late in the half was a huge mistake.

That's actually a compliment...

I would start by snaking the drains versus the vent. Start in the kitchen, then whatever drain is closest to that, then the next, then the next. Might be a little messy, but I'd pull the P trap off of the sinks to start there, then plunger the toilets. If that fails, then use the snake.

There are lots of guys who have been in the B1G for 5 seasons, heck Race is in year 6. Bohanon was there for 10 it seemed like. 5 seasons is almost normal anymore.

Big time injury is the only thing I can think of. And with X's, Gallo's, Race's, Phinisee's over the years, it might just enter into his head. But I also suspect he's making ends meet with NIL $$$ now, and if he doesn't get drafted and have to go to Europe to play (like one of our asst's) he may, or may not like that.

Since alimony is no longer deductable, you might want to get a job driving a Brinks truck...

The video doesn't require your SS#, but the IRS does when you request the IP PIN thru them. The video is only an instruction type video. You actually have to log onto the IRS website to request the IP PIN. (irs.gov)

When I had my own business, a client of mine had a form of identity theft that many don't realize can happen. Someone filed a tax return using his SS#. When he went to file his own taxes, they were rejected because his identity had already been stolen. It took him the better part of 2 years to get it cleared up, not to mention the countless hours of work and frustration.I came across a great video on how you can prevent this for yourselves. I was unaware that you could even do this (800,000 people had their identities stolen on their tax returns last year alone). I would strongly urge all of you to watch this video and take steps to prevent your identities from being used, or stolen. I went thru the process and obtained mine. Not difficult, just a little tedious.

I'm sure his X's used it quite a bit, and probably not in French !

And totally understand that...no problem at all.
