I did and it was intentional. No slight against Scott, but wanted to continue the theme. Because I am 12.

Also, yesterday sucked big time. But we just aren’t where we thought we were going to be. I would rather play these tough games and find out though, than play cupcakes the entire non-conference part of our schedule.

I worked in the words “Dick” and “handful” in my post-game post and Scott was the only one to bite.

We are not as good as Kansas that’s for sure. I liked watching Kansas play, unselfish players and Dick was a handful out there.

It’s pretty crazy when you look into it. I refuse to buy bottled water for the most part, but never from Nestle brands. It blows my mind that we have let them take a public commodity, and profit off of it to the extent that they have.

That’s a good sign! And if there are enough IU fans there to lessen the roar of the KU crowd, that will help as well.

Data centers are very energy intensive. Even worse is crypto. And that seems like a lot until you realize that Nestle siphoned off 45 million gallons from ONE creek in California in one year. This is Nestle taking water meant for all and packaging it for profit. Or, Nestlé pumps more than 130 million gallons of water a year from one well near a northwestern Michigan town. Add up all of these towns across the US to get the final number for Nestle. It FAR exceeds anything that Google could ever dream of consuming.

My wife is making sugar cookies right now, I’ll make sure she saves some for you, bro. She’s not a huge fan, but knows how much I love Christmas. For several years, she would create fairly elaborate advent calendars that included types of cookies, movies to watch, holiday-related things, and other things she knew I would like. I finally told her to stop doing those, b/c it looked like a LOT of work. And to keep it on topic - yep, I hate this on both ESPN and CBS Sportsline. The way the page jumps once the ads load. They have made it where you have to wait for the stupid ad to load before trying to find the NCAAM scores. Have mistakenly clicked on their stupid gambling or car ads so many times when I’m in a hurry.

Yeah, I love researching stuff like that.

I don’t collect duck stamps or hunt, but I read a really cool book about the history and the crazy details over the annual art contests. This is the book: https://www.amazon.com/Wild-Duck-Chase-Strange-Wonderful-ebook/dp/B008AW5I2A/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2ATTF6DEWB4D7&keywords=Duck+stamp+contest&qid=1671136680&s=books&sprefix=duck+stamp+contest%2Cstripbooks%2C66&sr=1-1 My father-in-law is one of those dudes that has everything that he could possibly want/need, so that Xmas I tracked down duck stamps on Ebay that were the years of his birth, and that of my mother-in-laws, my wife, and her brother. So four stamps from their birth years. Was neat tracking them down on Ebay. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=federal+duck+stamps&_sacat=0

Those are pretty cool. Would be neat if they have the years of disbursement on it.

I do love Moe’s as well, but we only have one of those and it’s in a super touristy area. I don’t think TB belongs in the same conversation as Moe’s, Qdoba, or Chipotle. For me it’s strictly late-night drunk food. And that occasion doesn’t arise that much in my life now like it used to! The Qdoba queso is incredible. I don’t know what Chipotle thinks they are using, but it’s not queso to me.

Qdoba is my favorite over TB and Chipotle. unfortunately all of ours have closed down. Their potato, egg, and queso breakfast burrito is insanely good. Back when I lived and worked in downtown Indy, I would go to the downtown one about twice a week. The woman would always jam pack it with salty fried potatoes and scrambled eggs, b/c I didn’t order meat in mine. Am now craving one…

I am not surprised that these exist, but they should not. I’m sure they have them in NYC right under the NYPD’s noses. The reasons they give for them are not legit though, that’s what embassies are there for.

I’m a pretty big fan of Christmas season. Love the lights, the food, the warm childhood memories. Grew up in a household that didn’t have a lot, but my parents went out of their way to make the season fun and memorable for me. Love Charlie Brown Xmas - also have the vinyl album from Vince. Love Christmas Vacation and Elf.

Think it will be by seasons end - and we won at their place.

Yep, thank you for the assist @southsidehoosier When I looked at the non-conference schedule I was hoping for 3-1, but would have been happy with 2-2.

Looking forward to this one, but really hope we have JHS back. Win at Kansas and that puts us at 3-1 for our marquee non-conf games.

Hard to win when you give up a 17-0 run early. Arizona is a VERY good team and I was pleasantly surprised that we actually kept competing. Loved Race hitting those threes and Bates looked great out there. I feel like there was a time late in the second half where we hit a bunch of threes, but AZ hit like 5 or 6 in a row. I feel like they resemble a Euro pro league team more than college.

Could be a big game for Galloway. Also hoping Kopp is on target. And I feel like we really need the old Race back for this game.

This reminds me of the people in front of you at a store at the register who somehow forgot the whole “I have to pay for this” part. Cashier is done. We are all staring, and then it’s like “Oh, let me get my wallet out now.” Have that stuff ready my dude.

Agreed. X needs to be dialed in. I’m not loving this game w/o JHS.

Hilarious. Glad to see that douche canoe get the can.
