I love me some Norah Jones as well. I have all of her early albums. XM Radio played a bunch of her Christmas stuff on one of their Christmas stations, but it's rare I hear any of her regular music on any of their channels.

Interesting comparison of our common opponents at same location comparison. They are almost polar opposites of each other. Only 1 game in 5 had teh same outcome. We lost at iowa. They won at Iowa We both won at Nebraska We lost at home against Michigan, They won at home against Michigan. We won at home against Purdue. they lost at home against Purdue. We won at Maryland. They lost at Maryland.

Went to the grocery earlier today and this one came on. I'm not a Springsteen fan at all. My wife absolutely hates his music. But, this is one that resonates with me. By far, my favorite song of his. I'll listen to it. I'll enjoy it. But, Only if I'm in car by myself.

I'm a Reds fan and grew up watching the Big Red Machine, but Rose being out of the Hall does not bother me as much as Bonds and Clemens not being in. If you look at what happened in 1919, it's perfectly understandable that gambling can't be part of the game, and breaking that rule must be dealt with harshly. By contrast, In the grand scheme of things, Bonds and Clemens taking steroids in the era that they did is like Kelvin Sampson having excessive calls/texts at IU. the ultimate punishment simply does not fit the crime. That OBP stat is absolutely amazing btw.

Wait. Tom Brady retired? When did that happen? I saw no such scroll on the Hallmark Channel.

Sometimes I'll listen to a song more for who is singing it than the song itself. Heard this one while on my way back from Indy today. It's Carload of People Approved, for the sole reason that Susanna Hoffs is singing it. She could sing me the phone book or the Purdue fight song and I would still love every minute of it. By contrast, if say, Cher sang this song, the channel would immediately get changed.

The important thing about the shots is they reduce the severity of the disease. That is not debatable. Glad you were able to get both shots.

I know. That's why it's surprising he did not have more. He obviously did not get 8 in the first half, but he was so active it seemed like it.

I'm watching the first half and I'm at the 9 minute mark. Seems like Geronimo already has 8 boards. And, I know I saw him get a few in the 2nd half as well. Just using his athleticism the way it should be used.

Was travelling home from being in Indy earlier today, and saw last 16 minutes. getting ready to watch the first half now.

I want Purdue to lose.

I'll take 'Warmth' for $2000 Alex.

Dud you put him on 50% ignore?

Whereabouts are you?

Be careful with that kind of talk, I think @bluegrassIU is an agent with the Treasury Department. Either that or he is a full time Manny that takes care of his cousin's/sister's kids.

It's odd. Other than Chicago, which I have been to a ton because of work and a few weekend trips, I don't think I've been anywhere in Illinois in the last 25 years. Been all over a good part of the rest of the country, but all 'driving' trips have been to the South, the East, and the North (which is just Michigan). Any trips West of Indiana have been Illinois flyovers.

Obviously not something you would do this time of year, but in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is an area called Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. All sorts of outdoor activities, and absolutely breathtaking scenery. Majestic cliffs up and down the shoreline. We went a couple of years ago and did a guided boat tour on Lake Superior. But, for the more adventurous, you can also hike, kayak, etc. https://www.uptravel.com/outdoors-recreation/national-state-parks/pictured-rocks-national-lakeshore/?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=search_2021&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8_yL8avV9QIV4hXUAR25Lg3uEAAYASAAEgJf3vD_BwE

Did not realize that would be considered a foul.

When I see a 14-5 Xavier team seeded that much higher than a 15-5 Indiana team, it burns me up. Why is it like that? It's like that because they scheduled their non-conference a lot better. I've pasted their non-conference schedule results below. Instead of playing a bunch of sub-300 ranked teams, they played WINNABLE games against good, but not great competition. Our non-conference schedule needs to look more like that. KenPom rates their non-conference schedule at 150 and ours at 326.

I'm no doctor, but watching the whole situation play out with Rob the other night, I just can't come away with that being PF. Could the team be downplaying a strained Achilles? Certainly doesn't sound like it is torn, or we would have been told. But, based on what my eyes saw the other night, I have an easier time believing Achilles strain than I do PF.

Daily Commute Musical Update Took the day off work, but was still out and about, and I know how important this is to your day. I have several friends that consider this a classic. I just don't get it. When it came on this afternoon, the result was Immediate Channel Change.

Absolutely annoys the shet out of me.

Very contagious form of PF. It's called the Omicr....wait cant say that.....its the Peloton strain.

Friendly reminder @ledies22, @Indykev, and @Billingsley99

I don't like the videos that automatically open when you are reading a story online. But, what really irritates me is when the video has absolutely nothing to do with the story you are reading. Normally, it's the 2nd video that loads after the first is done when the printed story takes a while to read. But, here's a hint to these websites. YOU DON"T NEED TO LOAD A SECOND VIDEO! IF THE FIRST VIDEO AND THE PRINTED TEXT TELL THE INTENDED STORY, THAT"S ALL WE NEED! Reading a story on ESPN this morning about the Bengals/Chiefs matchup. Kind of a long story from a text standpoint. The first, related video, runs its course. Here's the second video that loaded. WTF? Does someone reading a story about the Bengals/Chiefs matchup care about what Joel Embiid has to say after an NBA game? If you must have a second video (and there is no need to have one), at least make it football related, preferably about the teams the story is about.
