I did the porn star thing even though I knew having it being on my resume would hurt future employment opportunities.

Wonder if Nebraska and Rutgers will be a protected rivalry.

You guys should give each other a big hug. In addition to being a way to make amends, it's a good way to see how soft someone is.

Ahhhhhh, the old 'shiny new' philosophy. The truth is that existing players have been known to develop. Keegan Murray and Johnny Davis developed. Victor Oladipo developed. Frank Kaminsky went from redshirting to being NPOY before he was done. Tom Coverdale, with his limited amount of raw athleticism, went from barely playing as a freshman to being the starting PG on a team that reached the National Championship. Renault is good. But, that does not automatically make him better than Geronimo.

Where did I say they both would be crashing the glass on 100% of shots? But, it opens the door for many more offensive rebounding opportunities. If Bates shoots a 3 from the left corner and Race is on the left wing, of course Race does not crash the offensive board. But, if the guy on the weak side is Geronimo instead of Kopp......BINGO an offensive rebounding opportunity that is not there otherwise. You guys are pulling out worst case scenario for every argument. The reality is both Woodson and Hunter have publicly indicated the are working with JG with the idea of him playing some 3.

I would agree defense is the bigger concern because offensively I can see it working well. Race can and does play some on the perimeter in the offense, and can help break a press or even bring it up himself in a pinch. And. I think they both are capable enough to shoot 35% from 3. Having them both on the floor could result in a huge number of offensive boards and second chance points.

Until I see the team play a few gamed, the only two I definitely put in that category are TJD and XJ. Race is not a good FT shooter and is prone to defensive lapses.

Do you think having TJD, RT, and JG on the floor at the same time hurts IU more on the offensive end or defensive end?

That local D1 talent will likely head to USI in the future. I worry about the city being able to support two D1 teams. And if it does end up being a problem, UE is the likely loser.

It seems to me as if Vic is not as humble as he used to be. Fame may have changed him.

3 years ago this would have been easy. But, I've soured a bit on Vic, who was a clear number one until recently. - Yogi - Watford I'm replacing Vic for Watford. I want players who contributed to team success and hung around a while. Sorry Romeo.

All of the advanced metrics (PER, W/S per 40. Box +/-, etc.) clearly indicate that Geronimo is our 4th most effective player among returnees. And, it's not really close. I can't see a scenario where Galloway or Kopp consistently play more minutes than Geronimo. I personally believe that he's still at IU because Woodson convinced him he can get him to the NBA. Otherwise, he would have transferred. He didn't come back to IU to sit on the bench for 70% of the game. He's going to get 20+ minutes a game, with the occasional 20-30 minute game thrown in there if Race or Trayce is in foul trouble.

Gotta feeling that Woodson will handle Prima Donna's a little different than Painter did with Ivey.

Freddy's is definitely better now. Unfortunately, we don't have one down this way. We do have a Culvers, and I really like it. But, Steak N Shake was always different. Not the same now.

My wife ordered a side of chili today. It was soooooo tiny. About 4 bites was all it took.

Steak N Shake has always been one of my favorite places to eat. the one in Clarksville went to drive thru only during the pandemic, and I never considered it a viable drive thru type meal, so never went. Not sure when it opened back up inside, but my wife and I were looking for somewhere to eat after a yard sale today, and I mentioned that we should go there. Was looking forward to my first Steakburger in over 2 years. We walked in and stood there looking stupid for about a minute waiting for a hostess to sit us. After a while we realized they had kiosks for ordering, and a counter to pick up your food. I don't mind the pick-up counter at all, but I absolutely loathe having to order my food using a kiosk. My wife knows this and offers to order for us while I go find somewhere to sit. We prefer booths over tables, and I walk past several empty ones that were dirty before getting to the last one in the place before finding it to be clean. As I am waiting for my wife to finish at the kiosk (which took her several minutes just for the two of us), I witnessed one older gentleman who had to come to the counter and help him because he could not figure out the kiosk. Another gentleman went up to the counter to inquire on his shakes, only to show the lady behind the counter his receipt, at which time she pointed out he did not order shakes. He thought he had (of course using the kiosk to order). It was also evident that several people were getting their food several minutes after their food. The guy who thought he ordered shakes, had to go back to the kiosk to order them and then got in a shouting match with another customer who he felt stole his shakes when they came out. My wife ordered a shake (I did not) and it was not ready when our food came. Portions were significantly smaller than pre-pandemic. My steakburger had a stale bun. Overall, just not a good experience. What used to be one of our favorite places to eat has gone to crap. My son and I would always stop at ones in Seymour or the Indy area if we travelled up that way to watch a ball game. Not sure that will remain that way, as I refuse to eat at places where I have to use a kiosk to make my order. Have the ones in the Indy area gone to this time of setup?

Pat was Bob's favorite IU player if all time. Or, second to Buckner if he didnt clean his room.

Morton Furst? Is he Caleb's brother?

I know 13 others: Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue, Rutgers, Wisconsin.

This is a decision that will not only effect the program next season, but very well could have major influence on the course of the program for an entire generation. 20 years from now we won't be talking bout wat TJD did for the program during his playing days. Rather, we hopefully can look back and just how much he meant to the program.

Only the Yankees have a better record over the last 10 games.

Is a group of Guardians called a 'Tribe'?
