Yep, I work with a lot of people in their early/mid 20s and always enjoy their perspectives. I always spend a lot of time talking with them about music, movies, food, just life in general. It is a TOTALLY different world that they are growing up in. We learn a lot from each other. I would not want to try to make my way in this world like they are having to do.

Exactly. My only reaction to this whole thing is “Yep, Barstool is still trash.” Pretty harmless post sure, but it would be best if accounts like this didn’t exist. Just lowest common denominator stuff. Also I don’t care what the players do or do not do on social media. It’s a part of life for people that age. As much as we would all like to return us to Mayberry, it’s just not happening.

Yeah, those pictures and videos are not good. Really feel for all the people and the animals in the path of these floods.

Ooof, sorry brother. Back pain is pretty rough. I don’t think people understand how much it impairs functioning, if they’ve never had it. Sending good thoughts your way.

I haven’t been able to watch the last two games as they aired and we lost both. It’s clearly my fault and for that I apologize. I will be sure to watch at 7pm on Wed. That said, I don’t have a whole lot of hope for a win. I’m not at “Archie-level” avoiding live games yet, but am not keen to watch the losses pile up again this year.

Painful, but accurate.

Damn it, we had plans today and I was really hoping to watch the game when we got back. I checked the score early and saw we had a crappy start. Looks like another season of mediocrity. Yay!

Many local papers are not actually local anymore though. Being bought up by conglomerates like TV stations. I’ve always read the paper and a few magazines to get my news. It’s just a habit and my mind is better for it.

News is dying, b/c people want to be entertained, proven right, or outraged. That’s what pays the bills. We still spend every Sunday morning with some jazz on the turntable and our local newspaper (delivered to our door by an actual human) for a few hours. My wife doesn’t read the opinion section and I only skim it. Just finished a bit ago actually. I couldn’t tell you the last time I’ve seen any TV news outside of an airport lounge. Has to be over a dozen or so years now. Just don’t need some clueless gasbag trying to get me riled up.

I do not and will not watch any news show like that. I just don’t think television is the way to get news these days. Always some blowhard idiot - it’s not limited to these dumbass women - trying to shove their controversial opinion down your throat. They need eyeballs on the screen and will say anything to make that happen. I’d be happy if both CNN and FOX News disappeared tomorrow. And I guarantee you our country would be much better off w/o both.

That’s been my problem with our teams lately. We need more toughness and edge. Talent is great and all, but you have to have to want it and out tough the other team. As much as I hate to say it, Rutgers has that. 🤮

Not sure I’ve mentioned our latest kitten fosters, but they are a trip. The boy Misha watched the first half of the game with me today. He was obsessed with the movement of the players and I guess the squeaking of the shoes. He was doing this pretty much the entire time. 3DC2EFF8-6CC1-41DA-A433-C9B6D64CE40A.MOV

They need to be prepared and pissed off on Sunday. Will be tough w/o Race, but Malik needs to learn fast. I’m guessing Duncomb is not bringing it in practice, but he has done pretty well when he has played limited minutes against cupcakes. He needs to be ready to play some.

I watched the first half and then shut it off. Just wanted to see the good stuff really. That was a heck of a start on the road. Really hope that becomes a norm for us. JHS is going to really shine with all of this playing time. Hope it doesn’t wear him down to much by season end though.

That’s my IU history as well. Started with that ‘75 team, though I was only 7 years old at the time. Still wouldn’t miss a game. Also when they finally lost I was like, “Wait, what? We don’t lose. How did that happen.”

Have always felt that Henderson’s injury cost us our sixth banner.

Man, it seems like just yesterday when most of us were crowing about our depth this year.

Oh totally, no chance of me giving up. But, I’m realizing that now that I probably won’t be adding another championship year to my bicycle down tube this year.

Appreciate that summary. I might watch today if it’s a slow work day. Wife is at the office. Just bummed that my high hopes at the beginning of the year are starting to settle into “oh, it’s going to be another middling season.”

Oh no doubt, it’s a hell of a thing. I grew up with magazines and VHS. Can‘t imagine the fire engine hose flow of porn I would have consumed as a teen if I grew up now.

Have been pretty sick the last couple of days, so took some Theraflu and taped the game last night. As I was falling asleep, I checked the score and we were up by 20 early. At Iowa! Went to sleep with a big smile on my face, and then woke up to this bullshit. Is the game even worth watching? Race injured? Any bright spots? Sounds like JHS and TJD were really good.

Zombies. They can’t look away from their phones. That’s got to be a big cause of the increase in traffic crashes and running over pedestrians.

Oof, unfortunately we see that here on the sub sometimes - not often, but it happens. I’m not really trying to overhear people watching porn on their phones on my way to or from work. But I think that’s where we are. People don’t seem to care about how their actions impact the people around them. I also think I’m over sensitve to the noises of others. Picked a great place to live, didn’t I?

Ha, Gibson County accent reporting for duty, but it’s faded after 20 years here. Although, when I’m back home and talking with family it definitely comes back out. And yes, PEAKY absolutely needs subtitles for me!

Ha, my wife and I were watching Bad Sisters one night about a month ago. Great, fun series, but the Irish accents are strong. I was admittedly pretty high at the time, but suddenly I was like, “Why are the subtitles on? They are speaking English?” But my wife was like listen closer, it’s really hard to understand. As I concentrated a bit more, she was right. I needed the subtitles. Didn’t have any issues until she mentioned. Now, I will use them sometimes.
