Well, If the old adage of the pendulum swings both ways is true. We get to be cowboys again. Saddle up , I hope it's Space Cowboys. lol

" You will buy an electric Vehicle, I tried to warn you Dave". Read that in your best 2001: A Space Odyssey , voice of HAL.

I didn't mean this to be a pro/con CAM post. My point/ feeling is that the talent was there, so it should be even more polished for this year. Yes that means there is an indictment on CAM and what he failed at. Also he wasn't the first coach in this journey that failed with even more. I also have to question why a coach has to motivate/ push D1 players to hit open 3 pointers, make FREE throws and not miss bunnies. There had to be more to it besides CAM could motivate and sustain. But as I ramble, my point was that the talent last year was >< that close, in a loaded B1G (without a coach that could motivate). I feel very encouraged this year and forward.

Responding to your post, but mostly to the fan base. I've been quiet about this, and it very well may get me laughed at. Hecklers, Joe_Hoopsier says piss off. 5-7 games last year could be in the win column with a couple free throws, 1-3 more made TOTALLY OPEN 3 pointers, 2-3 made bunnies. The system wasn't terrible, players WERE put in situations to win games, but the players didn't finish those 3-9 points scored over 40 (sometimes more) minutes of play. We didn't lose 8 games buy being blown out. My point is, the talent level is here. The additions (players) are icing on the cake. I'm sorry that the atmosphere at IU (adim) had created a situation where coaches and kids would check out mid season. It's hard to understand (read that as - admit to) that an equal amount of ass kickin with back patting is required to make young boys, into great men and WINNERS!. I finally, since CBK, think there is an adim behind the coaching that will accept what it takes. OH, with a great former player (and man) making sure that ALL stake holders have their requirements met. I've now spent my 6 month character limit (pisses my wife off!, see never shuts up), but that is how I feel.

So comparing reality and this description, is this really the end of time? Shall I initiate my prepping plan now?

Sounds awesome man! NOW, find another little project. We don't want your wife to think you're taking advantage of that short work week ever again!

Well, Samurai drivers still need a target..... Even if they still can't hit it. Bada' Ching...

I think it got yanked. It was funny (to me) but mentioned the CDC, so was probably a little over the line.

Ooops, sorry . I just thought the whole concept was funny. Funny like requiring seat belts on motorcycles.

I thought I had found Nirvana when I divorced the 2nd wife. NOPE, a 4 gallon back pack sprayer. That is where it's at men! I imagined myself doing Arial wild land fire fighting with this bad boy.

My Mother used to pull out the fridge every two weeks and clean. NOT a trait that was handed down to me. I'll buy a new one every 11 years, and find that favorite spoon that I had been looking for.... for 10 1/2 yrs!

I've been there. Awesome place, especially right after visting the Sake Micro Distillery. Difficult to stand on the lane's though.

Honestly, I was hoping this thread would have several pic's from @5fouls . Seems like he's had some nice toys, and he believes in recycling. It's like, a double win.

^^^^^ Eff'ing truff right there!

At the air show in Florida two weeks ago, they did a night time drone exhibition. I was totally floored, amazed. Y'all need to watch this. 60 some drone's, with LED's, programmed to fly patterns. There has to be a huge business opportunity here.

My 73 yr old father has decided it’s time to get into the wood processing business. He can’t see well enough to weld anymore so of course I get called in for reinforcement. It’s been 25 yrs since I struck an arc with a stick welder. SOB still wouldn’t say “nice job son”!

I flew into Bloomington today and this jet showed up while at the FBO. Two older men and a young “baller” kid deplaned. So obviously I was curious.

I wonder who could be visiting today from Syracuse NY? N253RT.

Typical deflection, Gorilla dust, look ....Squirrel.... Classic move right before a big announcement!

Thank god someone finally mentioned this. This has been my thought for a while. It's a buyers market with this many in the portal. Like going to a co-ed high school, 978 boys, 12 girls....

wonderfully played! You win the interwebz today on that one.

Please tell me your last name is Kennedy, Kirkpatrick, Klaus or your wife is Karen. Please?

If you need, lets say 3 players. You have a team of Wood, Larry Brown and Thad Mata. It's only 3 short trips and he is done recruiting for the year. How much energy could it take? 😉

The real question....... Will the servers hold up to this announcement?
