    Is this guy as good as Ware? (probably not)

    So we're now gonna see 2 bigs playing together again, "inside (and hopefully) out". I'll believe it when I see a 4 out 1 in game with 3 shooters on the perimeter. (from IU that is)

    So far I'm under whelmed with the committed recruits. Not a huge step forward IMO. If MM gets hurt we got NO shooters on the perimeter.

    Cupps: No.     Gallo: No.      Newton: Unknown.     Rice: Not any better than Gallo.

    You guys can celebrate all you want. Good for you. But I'm with-holding my excitement until I see the product on the floor.

    That’s it, im done. I’m gonna go get drunk and binge listen to Alanis Morriset jagged little pill all night long.

    I’d add down south if you’re spending much time in the water you might want someone riding shotgun looking out for alligators!😂

    I’ve only seen one gator, multiple times, in 3 yrs. …. It let me rub its belly, but there’s zero chance I’d try it sober!

    ‘The Ladder of Knowledge’ 

    Guy I used to work with and I had a couple of code phrases that were less than complimentary and yet we could use them with the person in question. One was they were climbing the ladder of knowledge. Which in our definition was the further up someone climbed the less they knew about what was happening on the floor! The other was ‘that was heads up!’ Which in our definition meant they had their head up where the sun don’t shine!

    I'd love a vacation to Mobile. Drinking beer while playing in the water sounds fun. I'd also recommend waders if you are going to be in the water awhile. Never been there. Unfortunately I don't think that trip will be in the cards for awhile. 

    We always wait until just the right time…. Then sadly … we wish we had WAAAAY back then… 

     

    no pressure though.🤪

    I had a pissed off customer company VP from Germany call bitching and moaning today because I didn’t give him his demanded report of how to fix their problem, by today (he initially demanded by “Friday”). 
    he wasn’t amused when I said, … “ you didn’t say which Friday”. 
     

    fyi, they are experiencing the EXACT issues I told them they would, when they decided to use our standard equipment “off label” in a totally stooopid custom designed automation process. I told them not to eff around… now they are in the find out phase. 
    I’ll help them out… Friday.

    It's a shame this even has to be posted.

    Take all the warning labels away, and let nature run its course. In 2 generations the country would be a lot smarter.

    First order of president joe_hoopsier… 

    all warning signs on toasters to NOT take them into the bath with you… are strictly prohibited. 
    The human race has enough problems, we don’t need to let these people reproduce!

    I miss the old days when IU was discussed on and IU message board. Not sorry.

    Since I am a VU alum, how about I inject the Trailblazers into every thread. VU hold the record # of National Njcaa TITLE appearances with 34. VU truly own this state !!! 34 TITLE appearances !!

    John Holmes was one of the talented coaches..... JOHN FREAKIN HOLMES !!!

    Hey everyone! My wife and i are finally moving back from Florida to the Indianapolis area. We are going to be new at doing a lot of the maintenance of the lawn ourselves, and we are looking for reliable contractors, plumbers, roofers, (insert anything you could think of). We just would love to compile a list of people who do business the right way. I appreciate any insights you can offer! 

    Welcome back ! No suggestions, but I did hire someone from Bloomington to come look at my boiler a couple months ago.. $117/ hr labor... And he diagnosed, kinda, didn't fixt SH$T.  4 year degree... muahahahaha yea right.

    I would be that idiot, too. It's on my bucket list to see a tornado in person. Preferably far from my house though, or anyone's really. I don't wish that devastation on anyone.

    I was on the beach in Key West as that last hurricane last year drove by. Bucket item, CHECK ! I did a cyclone in China as well. Total Lt. Dan moments ! "This all you got"?

    OU basketball acting like they're an NBA team now and threatening to move if they don't get a new arena. Is this the new college basketball? Is Bedford going to build a 20,000 seat arena to convince IU to play there?
