  1. Alabama is taking pUKe to the woodshed, even with the horrendous home cooking of the refs @ Rupp. Officiating is worse than us at UW.
  2. The thing that's impressive about Mich is they're up by 35 pts, and they're playing like they are down 3 and near the end of the game. Wish we had that intensity.
  3. As close to the vest as IU keeps details of any health issues, we may never even know if anybody tested positive. If Neb had staff test positive vs players, we may dodge a bullet. But I'd be surprised with our "injury luck."
  4. Wisky & Mich go at it tomorrow night @ 7 on ESPN
  5. Didn't know where to post this, so I figured this thread is as good as any. Have you guys noticed that after a steal and a run-away from a single player going to his bucket to dunk, almost always takes a minimum of 3, if not 4, and I just saw Livers take 5, count'em 5, steps before he dunked it and the refs just ignore it. They ignore it for virtually every team, including IU. And it's not limited to the B1G either. Drives me nuts....
  6. You still might be too young. Evidently the prosthesis are only good for about 20 years from what my surgeon told me. Supposedly there is some kind of gel/liquid that can inject into the joint to "act like" cartilage to buy you some time. Don't know the history if it works or not, but I know it's out there. Might want to talk to your ortho guy about it, if you haven't already. Good Luck!
  7. The only problem you'll have fishing is having someone haul in any fish you hook for you. I couldn't lift anything over 5# for 6 weeks.
  8. Emergency triple by-pass. Not sure if I had a heart attack, but it was definitely under stress. Felt great the next morning when I woke up and anesthesia wore off.
  9. Pray all goes well for you Jeff. Recovered from mine in about 6 weeks, but my procedure may have been different from yours. Hopefully, you'll be in ICU for a while afterwards. ICU is the best ! You move an inch and the nurse is hovering over you asking what do you need/want. Please keep us posted on your surgery and progress. Us old farts have to stay together you know...
  10. Really sorry for your loss. That's sad and devastating.
  11. Ever since I was about 55 (ages ago), anytime I'd complain to my Doc about aches and pains, he'd say "You're at that age...". And unfortunately, he was right. One heart attack later (2 stents & a balloon), the downfall had started. Now, at almost 70, I've had 2 hip replacements, a knee replacement, and a triple by-pass. Believe it or not, the knee replacement was by far, the worst. I'll go to a wheel chair before I have another one done. Hips are a piece of cake, IF your surgeon goes in from the front of your thigh/hip. Recovery is 3-4 weeks, and you leave the hospital with no restrictions. I divorced the walker before I left the hospital the next day. Could have played golf in week 4 if I wanted to. I won't go into the stupid stuff I did when I was young & dumb. (and at my age I probably don't remember it that well anyway!)
  12. Had a huge HT in our previous house. 102" Screen, seated up to 15 people. Turned out it was over kill. In our current house I have a nice, cozy TV room, and I like it better actually.
  13. in keeping with the stairway with the horse, use black or plastic pipe, for the stove topper, and then just wrap it in the dull side of aluminum foil. Voila !! Stainless steel look !
  14. Watched the 2nd half of Iowa/NW this morning, and I was really impressed with NW defense. That is a very good manno- e-manno system. And the immunity of Garza incapable of fouling anybody, or traveling repeated is still in tact.
  15. Nance & Young doing a good job defensively on Garza so far.
  16. Mn over Iowa by 5 at the half. Another ugly, "no funeral, no foul" game. But...if we could play with ½ of the intensity of either team, we'd be dominant. edit:IU scott posted 2 seconds before me....
  17. Because Garcia's name has been brought up as a failure to recruit, I decided to look up his stats so far. Plays 29 min, 12.7 pts/game, 6.7 RB/game and just shy of 3 TO's per game. I doubt if he would have gotten anywhere near that amount of minutes here. For a frosh, I didn't think it was too bad except for the TO's. Haven't seen him play more than a minute or 2, so can't make any comment on how he plays the game. Just happened to see DJ Carton's numbers as well, and he's tracking at 12 pts, 4 asst's with 3 TO's per game.
  18. Current law (subject to change of course) is at 65, (or later) you can "rollover" your HSA into your Traditional IRA without taxation. Also, you can use your HSA account to reimburse yourself for Medicare Part B premiums (not part D, just B) without taxation.
  19. Everytime I see Settles it reminds me of Michael Lewis inbounding the ball at AH right off his smug face. Lewis got a standing O for doing it.
  20. Right now, MSU looks like the bottom of the league. I know...it won't last. But NW is running them into the ground, at least in the 1st half.
  21. Looks like he bought his suit off the rack....at Goodwill.
  22. NW is out hustling MSU. Up 13 at the half. NW looks for real.
  23. I believe IUFLA was specifically referring to the TTU & KU game. I was going to post the same reaction for this particular game, only my headline would have been "no funeral, no foul". It was the ugliest, most physical game I've seen in a long time. And not enjoyable to watch. Wasn't a standard bearer for the whole universe.
  24. How about Milehi Hoosier Nation, since I think he was one of the founders, was he not? And the most Senior?
